The staff, headed by Michigan State Head Track Coach Francis Dittrich, includes his assistants James Gibbard and James Bibbs and former Spartan track stars Robert Steele, Gene Washington, Michael Bowers and John School, was the first Big Ten high jumper to clear seven feet, and Bowers, now at Co-runna High School, was a 16-foot pole vaulter. The object of the clinic is to increase the knowledge and improve the techniques of track and field athletes in the schools and colleges. Further information about the clinic may be obtained by contacting either Coach Dittrich or Gibbard.

The MARK IV is engineered to oulcool, outlast 'em all, including factory air. Steele was the NCAA 440-y a intermediate hurdles champion in 1966 and 1967.

Owners of the Standardbred pacers and trotters there are now more than 2,000 such individuals in the state long await this July 4th beginning of a grueling test for the animals they hope some-day will strike it rich.

"Over the years a lot of the big names in harness racing have crossed the finish line here to go on to greater heights," says Ernest Cusack, veteran among the legion of local horsemen. MAY LOWER MARK -1 ''We've had Rusty Range here and The Big Bear and this year that good Eaton Rapids horse, Ebony's Bachelor, is on the card. He'll probably lower the track mark of 2:05," Cusack predicts. This man Cusack is a narrative in himself. At 59 and a corrections officer at the Ionia Reformatory, he has been in horse racing more than 20 years, leading an idyllic life on the banks of arby Morrison Lake where his 40 acre farmstead provides a pleasant pastoral scene of mares and their young colts nibbling on purple clover heads.

It's not all that dreamy, though, for just this week Cusack lost one of his prize broodmares, Lake 0' Lass, in a foaling death. The colt was also stillborn. Ernie is a great promoter for harness racing and told about what is happening in Michigan's current explosion of interest in Standardbrods during a visit with relatives in Oklahoma. He was interviewed on radio and the station was swamped with calls. There is no harness racing in the Sooner State though there are many people, he says, who would like to see it started.

The father of 10 children, ages nine to 28, he was chosen recently in a Grand Rapids contest as "1970 Father of the Year" on the basis of his personal example in clean living and teaching of high moral standards for his youngsters. "Racing has been good to me," he says. "It is a fun hobby but sometimes there are other returns." Cusack sells many of the horses he breeds and is particularly proud of his stallion Splish Splash by Kings Counsel PROMISING MARE He has nroduced such good horses as King Paul, Jebb Span Ly.

The clinic, which will be limited to an enrollment of 200, will focus on sprints, hurdles, Lund Might Take Post With U-M DETROIT (AP) Don Lund, director of player development for the Detroit Tigers, says he would seriously consider a possible offer to become associate athletic director at the University of Michigan. Lund, a U-M graduate and former U-M baseball coach is reportedly one of several candidates in line for the job, which was vacated with the announcement that Bump Elliott will leave the post to become Athletic Director at the University of Iowa.

"We have to get together and talk it over," Lund said Tuesday night at the Tiger game, referring to U-M athletic director Don Canham. "Sure I'll consider it," he added. "You always profit by different job experiences." 5,000 sq. ft. size 5.22 10,000 sq.

MORRIS AUTO PARTS SERVICE 814-16 E. Kalamazoo IV 4-5441 Foodd 1 WHfcEfllP MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) -Carol Mann, who last year made more money on the professional golf tour than any woman before her, wants out.

"To get out of this trap you either have to do it gradually or make a quick break," she said Thursday after tying for the lead in the U.S. Women's Open Golf Tournament. "For it to be a quick break, someone would have to offer me $20,000 to $30,000 a year, and no one's come to me with a check, so I'll have to make it a planned, gradual withdrawal." The first step, said Miss Mann, is a teaching pro job beginning July 12 at the Hunt Valley Golf Club, which opens Saturday in Baltimore. As for the rest of the season, she said, "I always will at least go to defend my titles." One such defense is in Kansas City in August, the other in Corpus Christi, Tex, in October. Miss Mann, who has been playing out of Cincinnati, says someday she'd like to go into television, possibly with a woman's talk show, but maintaining her sports identity, which she calls a "natural, useful tool." "Also," she added, "someday I'd like to get married, even though by then I'll probably be too old to have children." Miss Mann goes into today's second round tied at two-un-der-par 69 with Donna Caponi, defending champion from North Hollywood, Calif.

One stroke back of the leaders on the par-71 Muskogee Country Club course were Sharon Miller and Shirley En-glehorn. fnnrh Wirtfl HOUSTON (AP) Clifford Paul, head football coach at Texas Southern University the past five years, was fired Tuesday by TSU President G. M. Sawyer. Since, becoming head coach in 1965 he had a 27-14-4 record.

The TSU Tigers had a 4-3-2 record last season. games prior to the beginning of the regular season. The Lansing team, whose princip wner is Walter (Duke) Waldron of 1840 Pine-crest, East Lansing, will play its home games again this season at Centennial Field at Everett High School on Saturday nights. The Stars will play in a six-team MFL which includes Detroit; Lackawanna, a suburb of Buffalo, N.Y.; Southwest Michigan (Buchanan); Pontiac, and the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming. Dayton and Flint, members of the league last year will not field teams this season.

Lansing compiled a 13-1-1 record including a 20-8 victory over the Lackawanna Lancers in the championship game last season. The Stars also won an MFL title under owner-coach-player Emil Kletke in 1964.

Admission is free at the gate and there will be matinee racing through Saturday," he said.

Lake Odessa is a village of about 1,800 which unfolds as you drive west from Lansing and reach beautiful Jordan Lake. Actually there is no lake named Odessa. One of the pioneer fathers selected the name from Odessa, Russia. They started a fair in the 1880s and since then you could watch a wild band of harness drivers performing like Cossacks.

He said about 75 per cent of last year's championship team is expected to be out for the team again this season.
