John D. Dewey, assistant com< missioner of the Big Ten, has been questioning athletes, coaches, and businessmen in- volved to find out if Big Ten or National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation rules have been vio- iated. Dewey’s investigation began after the Michigan Daily re- ported in a copyrighted story that Ann Arbor clothing stores, a restaurant, and a movie thea- tre had given athletes discounts. Two days later it was report- ed that Michigan State Uni- .versity athletes were getting similar benefits. Dewey said he will go to M.S.U. to investigate the situa- tion there after finishing his probe in Ann Arbor. At Michigan State, the Daily reported that —- in addition to Discounts -— athletes there were allowed to charge long-dis- lance phone calls to the number oi one of the football coaches and were given "grill passes" [or use at campus snack bars. It also reported that Duffy Daughterty head football coach ut M.s.u., had paid for a trip to the school for parents of n football-playing prospective stu- dent. Under Big Ten rules it is il~ legal for member schools to pay for such trips. After reading the Dally story Daughterty said he might sue for libel, Since then, however, he has not indicated whether or not he intends to go ahead with the suit. Doughterty and other coaches at the two schools could be sub- ject to discipline by the Big Ten if the investigation shows the discounts and other benefits were used to help recruiting. Several athletes said they were informed of the discounts dur- ing recruitment.

The Pioneers made 54 per cent of their shots from the field and broke 90 points for the first time this year. The team also grabbed 41 rebounds while giving up only 33. Saturday, however, the Pin- neers fell to Ripon 9083. Terry Holloway had 23 points and Mike Schwartz 22 to pace the team. WW (than medalists By WILLIAM ALAN GRAY I' Today’s lesson is, “How I found Happiness by belng Obnoxious during 1. M. Basketball" or “What to do when the other team is Wretched.” Take, for example, the case of Langsu and South playing the Bates “B” team. One cannot fully understand the illustration un- less they have been fortunate enough to see Gates play, but an inalOgous situation would be to correlate Gates to the March of Dimes poster girl; any other team to Bob Hayes and then stage n footrace.

Please pardon my reticence but I'm apparently not up-to-date with the new I. M. philosophy. Give me a chance, though, I‘ve got a ping-pong match sched- uled with a double amputee. Smith took a commanding lead in the basketball standings by Mating Dibble twice. The next night Dibble beat West in both games to regain second place. Smith has lost one game; Dibble three; West four. There are only two unbeaten teams left in the league, East "A" and smith “B”. with the quality of competition at a seem. Ingly higher level this year, these records are quite enviable. l. M. ping-pong will be held this Sunday with Doug Gilbertson If East back to defend his singles title. In other miscellaneous news, the top five teams in the college bowling league are within two points of each other. SCARLET AND BLACK WRESTLING WRAP-UP Friday. March I. Im G-MEN MMTEB F03 LAW OF DENH By JEFF SCHECKTER 5&1; Pioneer Analyst It is finally time to take a look at the Grinnell Wrestling team, now that only the Midwest Conference Championships are left in the season. The Wrestlers feel, apparently, that it is infeasible for a Pio- neer team to win more than two contests in any season. Like the football team and the basket- ball team, the wrestling team has won only two meets and now has a 2-12 dual meet rec- ord. As Coach Pfitsch recently said, “Iowa’s ‘ Fe b ru ary weather is frigid and Grinnell College‘s sports have not been much better.” Most of the wrestling team‘s problems stem not from poor wrestling but from a lack of depth. with only eight regular varsity wrestlers, the squad is forced to give up between fif- teen and twenty points a match. Looking back to the beginning of the semester, the grapplers lost to Knox 2642 on January 26. The Pioneers won four of the six matches wrestled but gave up 20 points in forfeits. Winners for Grinnell were Mike Martinson (123), Joel Richman (130), Bob Jenkins (145) and Bill Wedding (167). On February 5, the team took on Cornell, the best team in the conference, and lost 32-9. Martinson won EH), Jenkins 673 and Wedding 6~Z for the Grin- nell points. The Pioneers also lost on the following Saturday to the same Cornell team in a quad meet. Grinnell was fourth behind Cornell, Drake and Coe. Bob Jenkins was the only winner for Grinnell. On February 14, Simpson and Drake arrived to battle the Pioneers. Grlnnell lost to Drake 2341 but beat Simpson 19-15. Jenkins, Richman and Wedding had double wins (or the Grim nell squad. Other winners for the Pioneers were Mike Mar- tlnson with a win and u draw, and Lou Kelley by forfeit. Three days later, Grinnell lost to Western Illinois 298 and Monmouth 21-14. In the Western lllinois match, Rich- rnan won $3, Wedding won by forfeit and three Pioneer wres- tlers were pinned. Monmouth lost bouts to Martinson 3—0, Jenkins 3-0, Shaw (draw), Wed- ding 4-3, and Swnrtwood 6‘1. In the most recent matches.
