The senior ° from Hazel Park, Michigan, had a 5-2 record during the meet and narrowly lost to eventual finalist Dave Allen of Iowa State. Overall, the Wolverines finished among the top twenty competitors. The Iowa Hawkeyes won the overall title for the third year in a row with 110.75 poin- ts. Oklahoma State came in second with 87 points while Iowa State captured the third position with 81.75. Oklahoma pinned down fourth place with a total of 67 points. Fraser wasn't the only Michigan grappler in Oregon. Sophomore Eric Klasson, who won the Big Ten heavyweight title, had a 1-1 record during the meet, losing to the second seeded heavy weight in the tournament, Harold Smith of Kentucky, 6-4. Sophomore Larry Haughn had a 2-2 record in the 126 weight group and tur- ned in a very respectable performance by placing in the top 12 overall. Another sophomore John Beljan wrestled in the 150 weight category and finished 0-1. With the season over, head coach Dale Bahr will be able to reflect on this past year and look forward to next' season. "I'm very satisfied with the way we performed this season," said Bahr. "We ended up the year at 11-6-1 and when you play with a team that is mainly made up of freshmen and sophomores, a record like that is very respectable." "This year, we consistently beat teams that were ranked 11th, 15th and so on. But we couldn't defeat the top ten teams. When we lost to Minnesota, Iowa and Iowa State, each one of those teams were ranked in the top five. This occurred because of our immaturity." Bahr excitedly expressed his op- timism about future Michigan wrestling teams. "I can't help being enthused about the future. When these guys are juniors and seniors, we will be a force to be reckoned with. 'Next year, I seriously feel that we will be able to compete with the top ten teams in the country." Bahr can now set his sights on the all- important task of recruiting and accor- ding to him, Michigan is looking at some highly sought after high school seniors throughout the country; although he was not at liberty to say who the prospects were. "I will say that we're looking at a couple of guys in Pennsylvania and alsor a couple in Iowa. "One of the hopefuls comes from the same high school where I had coached, Algona (IowaI High School. Hopefully, we can land two or three excellent freshmen and blend them with the remainder of the team and things should be looking good." Coming soon; Fan-Fare, a readers reply column Let's face it.

A series of telephone calls to persons offering tickets for sale in Sunday's In- dianapolis Star and of others attem- pting to purchase produced reports that some people are asking as much as $800 a ticket for a seat at Saturday's semifinals at Market Square Arena and next Monday's championship game. The asking price apparently climbed when nearby Purdue and Louisville captured regional championships to reach the Final Four, according to the persons responding to the phone calls. "I'm trying to earn money for sum- mer school," said an Indiana Univer- sity senior who was having individuals responding to his ad give them an offer for two tickets to each session. "My best offer has been $325 a pair," he said. "But, the calls are just star- ting. I didn't answer the phone until af- ter Louisville had won its game." The tactic apparently is a common one. Several of the ads indicated tickets were available to the person making the best offer. Another "businessman" said his asking price was $225 a ticket per session. "You've got to get what the traffic will bear," he said, adding that he was willing to take the caller's name and telephone number in case the price dropped. John Anderson, a Milwaukee resident, was one .of those advertising to purchase tickets. In his ad, he offered to accept calls from sellers on a collect basis. "The tickets are high," said Ander- son. "One person wanted $400 a ticket. But, maybe they'll drop. I attended the NCAA Finals in Atlanta and Salt Lake City, and I'm optimistic our group of five will be able to get tickets." Apparently there are some who aren't trying to squeeze all they can out of their customers.' "My husband sold our tickets," responded a woman. "We got $300 for them." The woman's husband has of- fered a block of four tickets, which had. a face value of $240 since all seats were sold at $30 per session. The woman said her husband had received about 100 calls within 24 hours after the ad was published. A man who indicated he had accom- modations available in his classified ad, was a little cagey with his answers but was willing to discuss his tickets af- ter being assured his name would not be used in the story. "I'm asking $275 a ticket for each session," he said. "You've got to be a little selfish in this type of thing." The man was advertising he had eight tickets available, but refused to say how he got them. "I've had about 300 calls. so far, in- cluding one from Iowa after they won their tournament. I guess it pays to ad- vertise." SCORES Exhibition Baseball Oakland 5.

His other foul shot and three more by Mark Hall were the only other points scored by the Gophers as they went tok the foul line to win the game in the last three minutes. MITCHELL ALSO came up with a pair of key steals in the game's last three minutes to help turn it around for' Minnesota, 21-10, which beat Illinois, 21- 13, for the third time this season. Breuer scored six of his points in a 14- point run that propelled the Gophers into a 22-14 lead with 8:30 remaining in the first half.
