Grote hurt at Olympic camp
Collapsed lung sidelines guard;
status secure for next season

By RICH LERNER
Steve Grote's hopes of playing basketball for
the United States Olympic Team have disinte-
grated. The 6-2 guard suffered a collapsed lung
at the Olympic trials in Raleigh, North Carolina,
Monday, where he is now hospitalized.
"It didn't happen until after the workout, Mon-
day night. I felt like I was getting choked to
death," said Grote from his hospital bed. "I can't
blow my noise, I can't use any muscles in my
upper body, it's just a constant pain. There's a
little tear and about five or ten per cent collapse."
"HE SEEMS to be having some difficulty," said
the attendant physician, Dr. Allen Eure. "He had
a hemothorax, a bubble on the lining of the lung,
and a little air seeped into the chest cavity, caus-
ing a partial collapse of the lung.
"He's probably had the bubble all his life. Why
this occurred at this time, we don't know. Some-
times it's associated with a lot of activity. It's
not particularly uncommon for someone his age."
According to Michigan athletic trainer Lindsay
McLean, the injury should not affect Grote next
season.
"GENERALLY, it's not a serious problem,"
McLean said, "as an example, Roman Gabriel
had one and was playing again in three weeks.
But that was an unusual recovery. It will set on

a person about three weeks to three months."
"I can't believe this happened down here,"
said Grote. "I don't think I've ever been in better
condition. The coaches at Michigan wouldn't rec-
ognize me, I'm in. such good condition."
Grote had set up a running program with
Wolverine cross-country coach Ron Warhurst to
prepare for the try-outs.
"I WAS working my butt off, running up and
down hills," Grote said. "I don't believe you can
ever be in too good shape."
A first-team Academic-All-American, Grote was
invited to the trials with three years of inter-
national experience under his belt.
"I really thought I was playing well, my de-
fense was outstanding," he said. "But I was get-
ting real tired and- then I started having dizzy
spells and I knew something must be wrong."
"I HAD gotten my weight down to 185 (from
195) and when they ran the mile down here, I
finished eighth or ninth."
Other, trials participants to withdraw due to
injuries, include Darrell Griffith from Louisville,
Kentucky, Eddie Owens of Nevada-Las Vegas,
Mike Richardson of Montana and Marquette's
Bo Ellie.
Two Michigan players, Rickey Green and Phil
Hubbard, are still contesting for berths on the
12-man roster.

not keep him from being prepared for next season.

SWEEP THRILLING TWIN BILL, 8-7, 6-5:


Late surges spur Tiger wins

By The Associated Press
DETROIT-Detroit rallied for
two runs in the bottom of the
ninth inning, climaxed by Ben
Oglivie's two-out homer, giving
the Tigers a 6-5 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers and a
sweep of Tuesday's twi-night
doubleheader.
Milwaukee relief ace Ed Rod-
riguez, 1-5, was the loser in both
games. Detroit reliever John
Hiller, 4-3, was the beneficiary
of both late rallies.

Twins bargain Blyleven to
Rangers in salary dispule

By The Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Minn.-The Minnesota Twins
sent pitcher Bert Blyleven and shortstop Danny.
Thompson to the Texas Rangers last night in a
six-player trade.
'BLYLEVEN, disappointed with his salary at
Minnesota, was the key man in the deal which
brought the Twins shortstop Roy Smalley, veteran
right-handed pitcher Bill Singer, infielder Mike
Cubbage and minor league pitcher Jim Gideon.
Singer, ironically, was on the mound for Texas
last night.
LESS THAN two months past his 25th birthday,

Blyleven has a career 99-90 record, including a
4-5 mark this season. He has 24 major league
shutouts, and a 2.80 earned run average, and
1,402 career strikeouts in 1,707 innings.
Blyleven had been unhappy the last two years
in Minnesota, where he expressed feelings he
was being underpaid by owner Calvin Griffith. He
earned $65,000 for 1976 so he could become a free
agent.
"THEY DON'T pay me what I'm worth," Bly-
leven said after losing a salary dispute in arbi-
tration,
Blyleven already has agreed to contract terms
with- the Rangers.
