DETROIT-There was no joy in
Motown last night. Mighty Mayo
has struck out.
Boston rallied for three runs in
the ninth inning, nullifying a two-
run homer by Jim Northrup and
handing Detroit their third
straight loss, 4-2.
The win gave Boston a sweep
of the two-game showdown and
left the Tigers a game out of
first place.
Mickey Lolich, riding the crest
of a five game winning streak,
struck out 12 but faltered in the
ninth. He gave up a leadoff sin-
gle to Jerry Adair, issued his
first walk of the night to Carl
Yastrzemski and allowed a run-
scoring single by George Scott.
Tiger Manager Mayo Smith con-
ferred with Lolich before Scott
singled but elected to keep the
southpaw in. He pulled Lolich
after the single and brought in
21-game winner Earl Wilson.
Wild Wilson
Reggie Smith moved the run-
ners up with a sacrifice and pinch-
hitter Dalton Jones drew an in-
tentional walk. But Wilson wild-
pitched Yastrzemski in with the
winning run and Russ Gibson add-
ed an insurance run with a sac-
rifice fly to right.
Gibson, who also had two line
singles, knocked in the first Bos-
ton run in the second after Lo-
lich's wild pitch set up a scoring
chance.
Double-plays killed the Tigers,
playing before their second con-
secutive crowd of 40,000-plus.
Jerry Lumpe banged into one
in the third after back-to-back
Illinoi's
singles by Don Wert, Lolich and
Dick McAuliffe had loaded the
bases with one out.r
Ray Oyler lined to third base-
man Adair who turned the shot
into a double-play with runners
at first and third in the seventh.
Big Bad Play
And Bill Freehan bounced into
the third double-play of the game
with the bases loaded in the
eighth.
The Tigers also stranded two
runners in the fourth and one in
the fifth against veteran Lee
Stange.
Northrup slammed his home run
into the rightfield upper deck aft-
er a leadoff double by Al Kaline
in the sixth to put the Tigers in
front, 2-1.
Lolich, growing stronger as the
game wore on, retired 11 in a row
after Gibson's single in the fifth,
racking up three strikeouts in the
eighth.
But he couldn't hang on in the
ninth.
Jose Santiago, third Boston
pitcher, picked up his second win
in as many nights although he
needed help from Bill Landis and
-Gary Bell in the ninth.
Yastrzemski took a base hit
away from Wert to open the
ninth but Santiago walked pinch-
hitter Lenny Green and McAuliffe.
Eddie Mathews, batting for Oyler,
struck out and Kaline lined hard
to center to end the game.
As the Tiger players filed slow-
ly out of the locker room after
the game, losing pitcher Lolich
muttered his impressions of the
contest: "Nothing much can be
said . . . we held them close but
they scored more runs than we
did. There's just nothing more
can say."

Illini Suffer Scandal Losses
Hawkeyes Face Bleak Future
By ANDY BARBAS
How will the slush fund scandal
that rocked the Big Ten last year
show its effect on the Illinois foot-
ball team this season?
The prevailing opinion is thatj
the team is angered with the firing
of Pete Elliott as head football
coach and with the NCAA two-year
ban against participation in the
Rose Bowl. Thus the team should
have an incentive to prove they
still are able to win the Big Ten
title.
Other opinions are that the sus-
pension of eight football players
and the Rose Bowl ban will hurt
the team rather than give it in-
SCOUTING
THE BIG TEN
In order to fill this gap, Valek
has moved his two co-captains,
Ken Khiec and Ron Bess into the
secondary. Khiec, a 6-1, 192 senior,
was moved from his usual defen-
sive end slot, and Bess, 6-0 and
193 pounds, was shifted from of-
fensive halfback. Two other pros-
pects, junior Fred Wolf and senior
Rich Erickson, are expected to pro-'
vide further support.
In order to ease the pressure on
the defensive secondary, it is ex-
pceted that Coach Valek will make
liberal use of reddogging the pass-
er. The Illini defensive line and
linebackers are as strong as the
secondary is weak.
The linebacking positions will
all be handled by experienced play-
ers. The middle position will be
manned by senior Dave Tomasula,
who has been compared to Dick
Butkus. Last year he played the
last half of the season with a

By BILL DINNER
Iowa hasn't finished with a
winning season in the Big Ten
since 1960, when Coach Forest1
Evashevski, a former Wolverine
football player, was running the
show.E
Prospects for improving the
Hawkeye record this year look
dim, despite the return of veter-
an quarterback, Ed Podolak.
If former Utah coach, Ray Na-
gel, is to see any improvement it,
might well be through Podolak.
The 182-pound scampering junior,
who without tremendous support,
was second to All-American Bobt
Griese of Purdue in total offense
last year. He accounted for 1,-
041 yards including three touch-
down passes and three rushing
TD's; and was the team's second-
best rusher with a 3.2 average in
141 carries.
Podolak will have a good re-
Behind Patterson is a promising
sophomore, Tim Sullivan.
Even though all the offensive
linemen except center John Ficeli
are returning, there is still great
room for improvement. The Hawk-
eyes were held scoreless four times
last season.
Iowa's defense, a joy for oppon-
ents last year, has acquired some
new problems. All four linebacking
spots were vacated leaving a huge
cavity.
"Linebacking is the heart of the
defense and we graduated all three
of the good ones of 1966. So we
now are starting new because none
of the five has had experience on
a Ray Nagel-coached squad," said
Bob Watson, who coaches the
linebacking corps.
