By RICH WIEDIS
1984 will be a banner year for our
national pastime as baseball will for the
first time appear in the Olympics. And
former Wolverine batsman and eleven-
year major league veteran Ted
Sizemore has been doing his part to
make sure that baseball fever catches
on around the world.
In 1983, Sizemore, who ended his
professional career four years ago,
stepped into the world of international
baseball. The '66 Michigan graduate
took on the post of vice president in
charge of player development for the
Rawlings Company. Rawlings, a major
:N sporting goods manufacturer, in con-
junction with the Los Angeles Dodgers
v and General Electric has been one of
he tbiggest forces in bringing base-
ball to this year's summer games.
"RIGHT NOW baseball is only an
exhibition sport, " said Sizemore. "In
the future we are hoping that Olympic
baselball will generate the same kind of
enthusiasm that the United States
hockey team was able to produce in
1980."
One of Sizemore's goals as a world-
wide developer of baseball is to in-

re now sizing up Olympic baseball talent
crease the number of countries with
teams capable of competing at an
Olympic level. If this can be accom-
plished by 1988, the next summer
games in Korea may feature baseball
as a gold medal sport.%
"My work has been on an amateur
level as well as the professional," said
For Sizemore, Los Angeles was also
the first stop on a major league
itinerary that covered five cities during
his career. The 5-10 second baseman
played for St. Louis, Philadelphia,
Chicago, and Boston before retiring in
1980.
Even though Sizemore's career ap-
peared mediocre (he never batted
higher than .281 in a full season clinging
around a lifetime mark of .264) he was
valuable enough to remain in the
majors longer than the average ball
player.
"HE'LL NEVER BE in the Hall of
Fame," said former Michigan baseball
coach Moby Benedict. "But he was
very important to his teams because he
would give up his at bat for you. When
you're a manager, Ted is the type of
player you love to have."
After a one year stint with the
Dodgers in 1969, Sizemore was dealt to
the Cardinals for slugger Dick Allen. In
St. Louis he developed a reputation for
being a team player. During the 1974
season Sizemore batted second behind
base-stealing great Lou Brock. This
was the year the speedster flew past
Maury Wills on the all-time base
stealing charts, posting a season record
of 118 thefts.
"I'm sure Lou (Brock) would give
Ted alot of credit for his record," said
coach Benedict.

Olympics we: are helping to develop
leagues around the world with high
quality players like those in Italy and
Holland."
"WE ARE VERY excited about the
Olympic baseball exhibition," he con-
tinued. "There are six finalists (Cuba,
Korea, Taiwan, Nicaragua, Italy and
the United States), each was the winner
of a regional tournament and will play
in an eight day round-robin tournament
at Dodger Stadium."
base stealer into an art. "My job was to
take until he went," said the strategist.
"I used to stand as deep as I could in the
batter's box and use the longest bat I
could find. This forced the catcher to
throw an extra two feet," he recalled.
"I always believed in the team con-
cept," Sizemore said. "If I could take a
pitch for Lou so he could steal second,
then hit the ball to the right side forcing
him to thiril, (Joe) Torre would come
up with one out and drive him in."
For eleven years Sizemore

work. While he turned double plays and
sacrificed his turn at bat, his team-
mates received publicity. The situation
is much the same today working behind
the scenes at the Olympics. The veteran,
however, revelled in the importance of
his role.
"The glamor people will always be
the big hitters but the players know
what the little guy does for the team."

Dunn has repeatedly demanded a

he has accepted and will meet Dunn
shortly before the August primary. The
primary will decided which candidate
will face Democratic incumbent Carl
Levin in the general election.
Lousma began his day at Ann Arbor
Pioneer High School, and then visited
Thurston Elementary School to look at

Lousma observed job training classes

Today, Lousma is scheduled to teach
a class at Central Michigan University
and will continue to visit grade schools
and other colleges.

ANOTHER CHARGE of the com-
mission was to find ways higher
education could spur economic growth
in the state.
Colleges should "encourage spin-off
industries through innovative research
and make efforts to dissolve im-
pediments to the transfer of
technology," such as conflicts of in-
terest between business and resear-
chers, said James Robinsen, chairman
of the commission.
The commission also predicted that
enrollment in colleges statewide will
drop 10 percent by the year 2000, and
recommended that schools hold off on
new programs until a better statewide
review process can be created.
