The Howe Trophy goes to the player voted the most valuable in thy playoffs. It was won by Rom Grahame. Houston's Gordie Howe seored his seventh and eighth goals of the playoffs. , ' Recently. the NCAA Division One baseball coaches in took part in a poll and responded to this question: "Given a choice. would you prefer (I) Spring Season only, (2) 'Split Season; or (31 Spring-Summe- r Season (with College World Series in Augusti?" The results were enlightening. Exactly percent of the 27 coaches polled said they Uoti!4 favor a "Spring-Summer- " program. That is surprising when you consider the Southeast has mild spring weather, and wouldn't benefit from playing during the summor. But such a setup. if it could be finalized. would be ideal for teams who play in colder climates. Teams like BYL" and Utah. The Utes and Cougars just made it through a cold, sloppy spring which caused so many postponements neither team knew what to do. Hitters couldn't get enough baseballs thrown at them, pitchers couldn't get enough work, coaches couldn't get enough sleep worrying about overcast skies. It was ridiculous. Even the games that were played. some of them, took place in weather only Admiral Byrd would have liked. For instance, several weeks ago. Utah and BYU decided to play a makeup.game in Provo. At game time, there were snowflakes swirling everywhere and the temperature couldn't have been more than 35 degrees. It was a day for stocking caps ard mittens but they were going to play baseball. Oddly enough, they did play. the Southeast ninth inning run, Steve Blatene came on to retire the SoIons. But the Gulls couldni connect in their half of the inning and they became the fourth shutout Viet1111 of Sacramento. Ryerson gave up just three bloop singles in the first five The loss snapped a four game Salt Like win skein, but he Gulls retain first place in the PCL Fast Division. 'Ionic Games Utah had six home games this year and five of them were played in weather unfit for baseball. Actually, the Iles should have had more home games but a doubleheader with BYU was postponed repeatedly and never made up. Another doubleheader with Idaho Stetc fell victim to rain. All of this points out the inequality in college baseball. Before Utah had even played a game this spring. Arizona r schedule A State had a record of 28-would even things up very much. But BYU coach Glen Tuckett warnfA against haste in adopting another plan. "This spring.son)cner thing is not unique." he Big Ten have tried to Push obserced. The Fti Fl!It this for years.

"We would need almost a complete change in the thinking of our athletic programs. For instance, we would to accommodate the have to rearrange our grants-in-ainew program. And there are a lot of questions. Would the players sit out of school in the fall after playing in the spring and summer? If they had to go to school would kids knowing that sign with the pros right out of high school? A lot of kids are very much interested in pro baseball and playing college ball in the summer would upset some of their plans. 'It looks great to play when the weather is warm, but there are so many little ramifications against it. Everyone seems to be in a hurry, everything seems to be in a crisis stage. There's another big problem. We've got such a great thing going with our NCAA championship playoffs in Omaha. I don't know if we can shift the College World Series from June to August without spoiling a good thing. "Right now, there's not a university in the United States that's not concerned abort finances. Maybe we've got to live where we are, push our programs right up to the brink but not over it. By going to the spring-summformat, we'll expand schedules. Maybe the time isn't right for expanded baseball schedules." Tuckett is cautious, and I think he is showing a lot of wisdom. But I also think some change is needed. With the exception of BYL"s play, college baseball in this area and some of the surrounding ones was inadequate this spring. There is no way Colorado State, with an 0 conference record, can go down and beat Arizona in the WAC playoffs. Even Tuckett's fine BYU teams are at a disadvantage when they play the southern schools.
