2 Saturday, Aug. 10. '68 DETROIT FREE PRESS Just in Case You Missed It Familiar men in unfamiliar roles, new names in new surroundings and strange old games seeking modern acceptance all have landed on the crowded sports scene. Time, age and necessity force changes, and sometimes force out great men: Fritz Crisler, the most influential figure in college athletics during the last 25 years, is gone, and the University of Michigan strives for a new "image" under youthful Don Canham. George Halas, the irrascible coach of the Chicago Bears, a founder and shaper of pro football, after 49 years has quit the bench and young Jim Dooley threatens to revive his team.

Vince Lombardi, who made the Green Bay Packers the toughest, most consistent winner in sports, has moved aside, but Phil Bengston seems likely to carry on the tradition. Sid Abel, who broke no records with the Red Wings, has stepped away as coach qualified, later won the Preakness only to be disqualified, and now happily grazes in retirement. Controversy fogged the great moment of the year's brightest performer, Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy, whose three gold medal sweep at the Winter Olympics was tainted by claims that he fouled in the slalom. While Killy was the brightest, the prettiest by far was Peggy Ann Fleming, the only U.S. Olympic gold medal winner, who awed Europe with magnificent figure skating.

EX-BARBER Terry McDermott wears the badge of Local Hero. Retired for three years and nine months following his 1964 gold medal speed skating victory, the 28-year-old Birmingham salesman won a second place (silver) medal in the 400. No one elsex in Michigan, pro or amateur, did as well in the nine months since the lights went out last November. and the hope is that Bill Gadsby can revive the fallen hockey team. New teams bearing strange names the Olympics and the Cougars have struggled to capture an audience, but there's doubt that lacrosse (the Olympics) and soccer (the Cougars) can make it here.

Though leaders of their league, the Olympics have been strapped with small crowds at Olympia. The plight of the Cougars is worse; the team plays far poorer than expected, the crowds at Tiger Stadium reflect scant public interest. THIS IS THE year for the unusual, if not the outrageous. Roberto diVicenzo carelessly signed an incorrect scorecard and with it signed away golf's Masters championship. Dancer's Image, who might have become racing's horse of the year, won the Kentucky Derby with Butazolidin, a pain-relieving drug, in his veins, subsequently was dis The Lions were third in a four-team race, the Red Wings last, and the Pistons fourth, though they made the pro basketball playoffs for the first time in five years.

Trades have changed these teams for the upcoming months. Milt Plum, Pat Studstill and Tommy Watkins went to the Los Angeles Rams (all are now injured) to bring the Lions quarterback Bill Munson, who can't play for several more weeks because he Is mending from surgery. The Red Wings gave up popular Norm Ullman, Paul Henderson and Floyd Smith to get from Toronto Frank Mahovlich, Pete Stemkowski, Garry Unger and the rights to retired Carl Brewer. Brewer, a former All-Star, stunned them by taking a job in Finland. With that, Sid Abel quit coaching.

IX THE COLLEGE world, it's tough to top the west coast. California dominates football, basketball and track. UCLA quarterback Gary Beban won the Heisman trophy, Southern Cal's tackle Ron Yary was pro football's No. 1 pick (by Minnesota), but the best of all may be USC's Earl McCullouch, world hurdle record holder, grabbed as a flanker by the Lions. UCLA with Lew Alcindor is basketball's best, though that may have little to do with Michigan upgrading Dave Strack and moving in John Orr as its new coach.

Unsettling moments have hit the camV puses, and more may be ahead. Negro students demonstrated at Michigan and Michigan State, including among their demands the hiring of Negroes in the athletic department. Both schools responded. On the national level, too, racial problems threaten, with Negro athletes hinting of a strike in the midst of the Summer Olympics at Mexico City and suggesting that football games will be struck this fall.

Jim Picard, of Tam-O-Shan-ter, the 1967 runner up, and 1965 Michigan PGA champion Brien Charter of Jackson are one shot back at 70. SIX MEN are at 71 including Franklin Hills' Ted Kroll, Shenandoah's Bill Mattson, Bloomfield i 1 1 s' assistant Duncan Clark and Al D'Amato of Warren. This is the first time Johnson has entered the Michigan Open "in at least six or seven controversy, and, as usual, it involved a top name. The Souchak-Stuart-Janson threesome started out under the assumption they were playing under PGA tour rules, the rules they played in Thursday's pro-amateur.

It wasn't until the sixth hole that Souchak discovered the tournament is being played under the United States Golf Association rules which forbid cleaning the ball more than once on the green. By that time Souchak and Janson each was guilty of one violation and Stuart waa guilty of two. When they finished their round Souchak conferred with PGA official Al Betz and they decided it was a two-stroke penalty for each violation. Johnson, always strong on the rules, was discussing the situation later in the club house and said the rule had been changed to a one-stroke penalty this year. with our Grosse He invitational so I passed it up.

But this year I was a little slow getting my entry in for the Invitational so I decided to play here," Johnson said. And he played Spring Meadows like he owned it with five birdies, two of them putts from 35 feet, one from 25 another from 20 and a tap in 18-incher. "I think I borrowed all of next month's putts. I went back to my old putting method and this is the first time I've broken 70 in a major tournament round in a long time," Johnson said happily. While basking in the glow of his 69, Johnson turned boy scout and performed a good deed for defending champion Mike Souchak of Oakland Hills, Glenn Stuart of Grand Rapids and current Michigan amateur champion Lynn Jan-son of Michigan State.

AS USUAL lately in the Michigan Open, there was a number two into the same general row of seats with two out in the fifth. It was the fourth home run of the season for Supertrix, who matched his previous big league total going into 1968. Aside from the long ball erun- tions, the Tigers were fairly It was in 1936 that that great champion of the oppressed and the underdog, Adolf Hitler, contemptuously dismissed the great showing of the U.S. track and field team "in the Berlin Olympics as a triumph for its "black auxiliaries." An American team with anything but pure Aryans on it, he implied, was beneath contempt. From that day to this, no other man has had the temerity, not to mention bigotry, to suggest that black Americans should not be on this country's Olympic team.

But now, Hitler has company. An assistant professor of sociology, Harry Edwards, doesn't think there should be any blacks on that team, either. Sociologist Edwards is going to punish the white world by boycott, by depriving it of the privilege of having its pants beaten off by black athletes on the track. HE IS DOING this to publicize the fact that "America is just as guilty as South Africa ever was." (It's interesting to note, in this connection, that South Africa doesn't have any black athletes on its Olympic team, either.) Prof. Edwards has his own form of "apartheid" going.

As a first step in publicizing, Edwards barred the white press from his meeting. Next, he did all the talking. Then, he was asked what could be done ahout black athletes who might not go along with his boycott of the Olympic team. "These people have to live in black communities," he said. This is a refinement of a World War II Glenn Johnson knows his golf done was a fourth-place finish 12 years ago at Indianwood.

It wasn't too long ago, most of us were conscience-bound to urge just the opposite. Just ask yourself What does the Negro Jin America owe to his athletic image? A very great deal.
