Led by Carl Yastrzemski's two' solo homers - the second an in- side-the-park jobbie - and short- stop Rico Petrocelli's three RBIs, the BeantownrBoys demonstrated to this year's pennant favorites that last year's pennant winners are not to be taken for patsy pushovers. Dick Ellsworth, a Chicago Cub reject, was' the Bosox starting pitcher and kept Detroit's Fat Cats pretty much under control during his nine-inning stint, aid- ed by execllent low-ball control and a tricky herky-jerk pitching technique. Earl Wilson, Ellsworth's oppon- ent, was plagued by control prob- lems and lasted only five innings, giving up five runs and eight hits in a lackluster performance'. The only bright spot of the day for Wilson came in the third inning when he socked Ellsworth's first pitch into the left field upper deck. Though Ellsworth may be a good low-ball pitcher, Wilson is a superb low-ball hitter. The Red Sox opened the scor- ing in the second inning when Reggie \Smith's single and rookie outfielder Joe LaHoud's walk was followed by a Petrocelli fly ball to left field that slow-footed Wil- Wilson's 27th career made it 3-1 inthe tir Boston knocked him ou box in the sixth when S off with a double.

Dave Renkiewicz threw five and a third innings giving up six hits and three walks, allowing four of the five runs. Larry Guidi came in to ,relieve Renkiewicz in the bottom of the 6th. He was touched for one hit and the last run. The trouble started in the ear- ly innings with Eastern earning two runs in the first and another in the second. The score was at a standstill until the fifth inning as Michi- gan remained hitless. Shortstop Chuck Schmidt broke the mo- mentum with a double. Last year's Big Ten batting champ, Andy Fisher, then knocked a single tc bring Schmidt in for Michigan's first run: The ; game seemed ready to change when Glen Redmon came up. with another double in the sixth. Captain Doug Nelson got Redmon to third on a single. Redmon then crossed home to make the score 3-2 when first baseman Jim Hosler hit a ground ball. Michigan had just begun to ad- just to EMU Pitcher Rick Krumm when he was replaced in the sixth by Don Schaall. Schaall gave up only one hit in the three remain- ing innings. Michigan was no longer a threat when in the sev-, enth, Guidi allowed the fifth run. Catcher John Kraft best ex- plained the game. "Michigan played well - we just didn't get enough hits." "We hit the ball hard,, but AIRPORT LIMOUSINE Regular Runs to Metro Airport 30 TRIPS DAILY from side door of MICHIGAN UNION 971-3700 z R aV A f A R X 7 ++: 9 T 5' } F couldn't find the holes, while Eastern's balls bounced through the outfield,' he said. "It's the same situation every game. The opposing team will ex- plode in the first couple innings when we're still warming up. Then we re forced into the position of; playing catch-up the rest of the game." As istant Coach Dick Honig added, "We lack the ability to drag in runs when we're in a key scoring situation. Once we get some consistent hitting started,! something always happens and we fail to come up with any more key hits." Meanxhile the Michigan fresh- men split a doubleheader with Northwood Institute at Midland. In the first seven inning game, the Wolverines started John Rit- ter and were blanked, 1-0, by Dave Green. But they came back in the second game on Tom Fles- zar's pitching and scored nine runs to win, 9-2. Michigan will meet the Uni- versity of Detroit at 2 p.m. today.

This has not only put a great .deal of pressure on Elliott, but also on his assistant coaches. If Bump were to be fired after next season, so, in all likelihood, would his aides - unless Bump were to be quietly phased out and into an administrative position, with one of his assistants being named head coach. Enter Tcony Mason, offensive line coach "and long regarded as perhaps Elliott's top assistant. Mason has made it known that he intends to stick it out only one more' year at Michigan, that is, unless he were to be named head coach upon Elliott's "retire- ment." A possibility - but the betting is that the next Michigan football coach will come from outside the present athletic de- partment. Everyone already here has too many enemies. Perhaps to confuse the situation even more, Michigan has just appointed a new athletic director, track coach Don Canham. Canham, 0 is a shrewd businessman and will not feel obligated to stick with' any leftovers from Fritz Crisler's regime if they do not seem to be properly fulfilling their role in realizing Canham's announced prime goal, "to fill up Michigan Stadium and the Events Building." Canham was once heard to say before his appointment that the first job of the new athletic director "should be to fire five or six coaches." Cause for any Michigan coach to gulp, especiallyj # those in basketball and football, which must produce to bring in the revenue. Bob Aspromonte's two-out triple in the last of the 9th gave Hous- ton a 5-4 victory over the Pitts- burgh Pirates. Aspromonte's hit knocked in two runs and helped earn a victory for hurler Larry Dierker. Also in a cliffhanger, St. Louis pinch-hitter Dave Ricketts smack- ed a last-inning single to drive in the winning run and give the Cards a 2-1 victory over the At- lanta Braves. s Los Angeles and Philadelphia had a night game scheduled on the coast.
