Wednesday, March 27i - 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven rhI Pistons By The Associated Press For Jimmy Walker, the Detroit Pistons' number three guard and a graduate of Providence College, its a chance to play against his old idols. "These guys are practically my uncles, I've known them so long. That's why it's so great to whip them," he said after Monday's game, when the Pistons knocked off the Boston Celtics 126-116. After Boston had won the first playoff contest 123-116 on Sun- day, Detroit turned tiger to even the best-of-seven series. Each club has claimed a vic- tory to square the series, and the fourth-place Detroiters have beat- en the Celtics in two of their last three meetings. Detroit won ten of its last 13 games during the regular season ,~to nail down the final playoff spot, and beat the Celtics in the final game to snub Cincinnati. 1 oston player-coach Bill Russell he *s to improve his rebounding tonight when the teams meet at i Tiers Win, Cards Lose On the strength of Mickey Lolich's strong pitching and Bill Freehan's power hitting, the De- troit Tigers blanked the Washing- ton Senators 8-0 at Lakeland Florida. The Detroit attack came alive in the first inning when Bill Pree- han stroke a three run homer off loser Phil Ortega, and continued on in later innings with the help of Mickey Stanley's three singles and Bernie' Allen's three errors. The Washington, attack was successfully stifled by Mickey Lo- lich in the first three innings, Bob Reed, a University of Michi- gan product, in the middle three, and Les Cain in the final three. Pitcher Cecil Upshaw singled with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday. driving in the winning run as Atlanta defeated Baltimore 2-1. Atlanta starter Dick Kelley pitched seven innings and gave up only four hits to run his spring training record to 21 innings of work with eight hits and no runs. Rookie righthander Francisco Carlos pitched five strong innings Tuesday as the Chicago White Sox scored their second victory of the spring, beating the Oakland Athletics 4-0. Chicago had its biggest rally in the fith when it scored two runs on a walk, an error, and singles by Walter Williams and Rocky Colavito. Manny Mota hit a two-run homer and Jim Bunnings pitched a one-hitter over eight innings in leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 exhibition baseball victory over thee Boston Red Sox. Mota's first-inning homer fol- lowed a single by Gene Alley, but Gary Waslewski limited the Pi- rates to four hits in the first seven innings. Consecutive doubles by Bud IIarrelson and Ken Boswell with one out in the ninth inning gave the New York Mets a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Tues- day. Steve Carlton pitched the first six innings for the Cardinals, al- lowing just one hit, and Nolan Ryan pitched the first four in- nings for New York, giving up just three hits and striking out 4y six.

Russell, who hauled down 34 rebounds in the first game, ran into foul trouble on the Detroit floor and finished with only 14' for the contest. Both teams are in fair physical condition for tonight's game, al- though the Celtic's Bailey Howell is still feeling the effects of a battle with the flu. The Philadelphia 76ers left lame, appear to have recovered, and the defending champions should be at full strength tonight for the third game in their eastern National Basketball Association semifinal series with the New York Knicks. The best four-of-seven game se- ries is 1-1. The 76ers won the opener at home and the Knicks evened the score at Madison I Oquare Garden. The third game is slated for the Palestra, one of three home floors used by the 76ers as a result of the flyaway roof at the Spectrum. The layoff since New York's Saturday victory has given tk.e 76ers' invalids some healing time. Wilt Chamberlain has been run- ning on an injured toe, Hal Greer, favoring a gimpy knee and Luke Jackson, rebounding with a sore hand. Coach Alex Hannum of the 76ers has stressed rebounding in prac- tice drills this week. He was upset over New York's domination of the boards against Chamberlain, Jackson and Chet Walker. Phila- Two delphia also is preparing for the Knicks' zone press, used so ef- fectively against the 76ers in late season play. "We've got to keep them from converting offensive rebounds into field goals," said Hannum. The only New York casualty so far has been Cazzie Russell, in- jured slightly during the Knicks' 128-117 victory Saturday night. Willis Reed of the Knicks is the top scorer in the series with a 31- point average. Dick Barnett is av- eraging 25 and teammate Walt Bellamy 20. Chamberlain has av- eraged 30.5 and Wally Jones, the 76ers' playmaker, 20. Thehseries statistics so far f a- vor the Knicks. New York has outrebounded 118-106 and been more accurate at the foul line 80.6 to 74.6. Philadelphia holds a slim edge in field goal percentage 46.1-1 45.1, dropping 94 to 92 for New York, with each taking 204 shots. The Knicks' zone press has forced the 76ers into numerousG turnovers and given the hot-shoot- ing Philadelphians fewer shots. In every regular season game against New York that the 76ers got off more than 100 shots, Philadelphia won. Each time Philadelphia was under 100 shots from the field, t lost, including the second game of this series 96. The fourth series game is1 scheduled for Madison Square Garden Saturday afternoon, the fifth here Sunday afternoon, and a sixth, if necessary, in New York Monday night. Spa rtans Will Continue Protest;' Agree to Attend Gym Playoff Michigan State has agreed to participate in the Big Ten play- off to determine the conference representative to the NCAA play- off, but will do so under protest. The Spartan coach, George Szypula, had stated earlier that he would boycott the playoff to be held this weekend at William College, Downers Grove, Illinois. Along with Michigan State's announcement, came a comment by Szypula. "I feel this meet is a great injustice to Michigan State because we won the Big Ten championship meet," he ar- gued. He then referred to a section in the NCAA gymnastics rule book which declares that the confer- ence representative to the na- tional tournament should be de- cided by the team score on the second day of the conference meet. Michigan State won that meet with a 190.25 score as compared to 188.0 for Michigan and 185.85 for Iowa. Because of dual meett results, the three tied for the con- ference championship. In his comments, Szypula failed to note that the gymnastics coaches voted last fall not to fol- low the NCAA format, and that the conference had been informed by the NCAA that it could choose its representative by any method it considered appropriate. The Big Ten athletic directors had decid- ed on a playoff to break the tie. MISTER( FAMILY RESTAURANT * HAMBURGERS C= * CHICKEN CUM=1~ * CONEY ISLANDS .

For a while it seemed as if the Big Ten was becoming a stock joke at sports banquets, with its unspectacular finish against other teams in the country during the football season, and its anemic showing at the outset of the 1967- 68 basketball season. This proved to be grossly er- roneous as the Western Confer- ence came through with one of the most exciting cage races ever as Ohio State and Iowa battled down to the wire. Ex-Gridder Loses Suit With Crisler Midpoint Metamorphosis Iowa and Purdue fell before lowly Michigan at the end of the season, as the "underdog" teams started pulling upsets that put a loose nut in the high-geared title hopes of the first division leaders. The playoff for the right to represent the conference at the NCAAA's was a thriller, with the Iowa Hawkeyes, unable to bounce back from their defeat at the hands of Dave Strack's Wolver- ines the week before, coming out on the short end of an 85-81 score against the Buckeyes. With Ohio State figured to go two or maybe three games in the tourney, many heads turned as the Bucks kept right on winning. They kept on until North Caro- ina, eventual finalist and second place. finisher, beat them in the semis at Los Angeles last Friday. Michigan Leaders The Wolverines had a few stars of their own as the final statistics for the conference were compiled. Sophomore Rudy Tomjanovich was fourth in the Big Ten, re- bouding department with 167, which figured out to be 14 per cent of the total carroms. In league scoring, Dennis Stew- art was seventh with 265 points, Tomjanovich followed with a close 264, while last seasons's captain, Jim Pitts, was ninth with 262. Leading scorer was Purdue's Rick Mount with 416 points while Wisconsin's Joe Franklin was tops in rebounds with 194.

D., Angell Hall IL LANSING - A former Univer- sity of Michigan football player of two decades ago, contended he was wrongfully barred from the Michigan varsity in 1948. The Michigan Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that the statute of limitations prevent- ed James D. Jackson, now an at- torney, from collecting. Named as defendants were Fritz Crisler, retiring in June as U-M athletic director, and Bennie Oos- terbaan, now director of public relations for the University. In 1948, Crisler had just step- ped up from football coach to athletic director and Oosterbaan was the new young football coach. Jackson contended in his suit that the two U-M athletic figures "intentionally and fraudulently overlooked and disregarded plain- tiff's prowess on the field by sel- ecting players of lesser ability" . ' "thereby depriving plaintiff of an opportunity to launch a success- ful career in varsity and profes- sional football and other oppor- tunities." He further contended his ability. to succed in various professional endeavors after graduation were adversely affected by the wrongs allegedly done to him at the Uni- versity of Michigan. In 1948, Jackson said, he played left half on the first team during Pete Cornell has been elected to succeed Dave Porter as Michigan wrestling captain. A former state high school cham- pion at 154, Cornell has com- piled an overall 36-10 record in the last two years. In 1967 he finished as runnerup in the Big Ten and third in the NCAA at 167. This season he placed third in the Big Ten and fifth at the NCAA Meet. spring practice. Jackson said he refused an offer to transfer to UCLA that year and then did notI receive an invitation to return to{ U-M fall practice. Jackson said he still returned to fall practice at his own expense and although he was put on de- fense against the first team, was not allowed to eat with the team and was denied football tickets. Jackson said the coach and athletic director "conspired to dis- regard and ignore plaintiff's foot- that he should think so highly of us." Jackson, who later graduated from Wayne State University and was admitted to the Bar in 1961, acted as his 'own attorney in the case. The circuit court and appeals court did not make a judgment on the merits of the case although the appeals court opinion said, "We note the defendants cited BULLETIN The Michigan diamondmen went down to their fifth straight defeat last night at the hands of Arizona State, 1-0. The losing run was earned off an error by Chuck Schmidt. Mich- igan's Dave Renkiewicz record- ed the loss giving up five hits in seven innings on the mound.

TO WISCONSIN FOR McCARTHY BEN OSTERBAAN ball abilities by telling him he was academically unqualified." Crisler, recalling the case, said Jackson was not allowed on the varsity team only becasue he was scholastically ineligible. Ossterban, speaking of Jackson said, "Oh, I remember him va- guely ... He was not much of an athlete; at least not as good as he thought he was . . . I guess this thing started over a year ago; we didn't give it much at- tention because there wasn't much to it. "He did receive a reserve award in '49; there was no prejudice on our parts - either Fritz or me .. . we never cut anybody from the squad - that's always been our policy . . . obviously Fritz and Ij didn't haxe ten million bucks be- tween us, so we were flattered If you are driving with a full car or affidavits in connection with their motions denying what the plain- tiff alleges." The appeals court affirmed a verdict by Wayne County Circut Judge Charles Kaufman that there was no cause for action be- cause of the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations re- fers to the period of years allowed by law for the filing of such damage suits.
