Baseball rules say all games hav- ing a bearing on the pennant race must be played. Thus, if any of the contenders are rained out to- morrow, the games will be played Monday or whenever the weather allows them to be played. If one team has more than one game to play after tomorrow, the games can be played as singles rather than as a doubleheader. The Twins conceivably could wrap up the pennant today-if everyone plays. They could do it by beating Boston while the Angels take a doubleheader from the Tigers. In other American League games yesterday, the New York Yankees won a doubleheader from Kansas City 4-3 and 1-0. Mickey Mantle drove in the winning run an eighth inning sacrifice fly in the opener, and Bill Bryan's homer in the sixth inning accounted for the only second-game tally. In the National League, Fergu- son Jenkins recorded his 20th vic- tory and Billy Williams walloped a pair of homers as the Chicago Cubs trimmed Cincinnati, 4-1. The champion St. Louis Cards beat Atlanta 3-1 in the 11th in- ning when Mike Shannon drove in one run with a single and Tim McCarver added another with a double. Pittsburg beat Houston 4-1 behind the seven-hit hurling of rookie Bob Moose.

It is also a chance for the coaches to reevaluate the varsity squad and to see what specific areas will require strengthening or rebuilding. Evans, a righthander from North- ville, Michigan. Both are promis- ing sophomores who saw action on the freshman team last season. This year's team will have a greater need for strength in the pitching department than last year's, for doubleheaders have been scheduled on both Fridays and Saturdays. - Cramping the schedule in this fashion requires the addition of a third strong pitcher and a reliever. Captain Doug Nelson, a senior from Adrian, Michigan will handle at the Bethlehem United Church of Christ, 423 S. Fourth Avenue Refreshments-5:30 P.M. Dinner-6 P.M. Program-7:30 P.M.

But the overall outlook is bright. Despite the loss of seven fine players, twelve lettermen re- turn from last year's squad, which finished second in the Big Ten, recording ten wins against four losses. Hurling Hurting? Although graduation robbed Michigan of three fine pitchers-- Jim Lyijynen, Bill Zepp and Joe Kerr-threerreturning lettermen and two sophomore pitchers are out for fall practice. Top pitching prospects on the squad this year include Geoff Zahn, a senior southpaw from Athens, Ohio, Larry Guidi, a sen- ior righthander from Oroton Falls, New York, and Jack Hurley, a righthanded junior from Staten Island, New York. Last year Zahn tied an all-time Michigan record of nine wins against one loss. His performance earned him a berth on the second All-Big Ten team. Larry Guidi, a very successful reliever for the squad last season, will be a starter for the team this year. Jack Hurley, who saw only limited action last season will also play an important role for the Wolverines. Additions to the pitching staff include Gerry Christman, a south- paw from Deshler, Ohio and Steve ANDY FISHER the catching duties next season. He will be assisted by John Kraft, a junior from Farmington, Pete Totone, a junior transfer from Tucson, Arizona and sophomore Mark Henry from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Kraft also may see action in the outfield. Totone played against Michigan last season while the Wolverines were in Arizona for spring prac- tice. However, he will be eligible immediately since he played for a junior college. Henry, who played both frosh basketball and baseball is con- sidered "a steady player who uses his head." He will be a strong backup for Nelson. The infield is the strongest part of the team. Although damaged by the graduation of second base- man Rick Sygar, it will have three regulars returning. In fact, most of them are only juniors. Jim Hoslerl a junior from Ann Arbor who did an outstanding job for Michigan last season, will cov- er first base. Buddy Forsythe, a junior from Cleveland, Ohio start- TV RENTALS $10 PER MONTH FREE service and delivery NEJAC TV RENTALS 662-5671 ed at shortstop last season, but is also being tried out at second base to fill in the vacancy left by Sygar. He is a righthanded hit- ter with excellent speed. Forsythe has been alternating positions with j u n i or Chuck Schmidt, who has shown good technique at shortstop this fall. Coach Benedict commented that "although neither position has been settled, both boys definitely figure in our plans." Jim Rose, a senior from Livonia, also has a chance to win a position at second. Another contender is Clancy Sebula, a sophomore from Detroit, who saw action with the frosh squad last season. Third base will be covered by junior Glenn Redmon, a right- handed hitter from Allen Park. He was the only player to see action every inning last season and was name as a sophomore to the All- Big Ten conferencesecond team. But Andy's Back ... The outfield is the weakest part of the team and will require a great deal of rebuilding. With graduation Michigan lost Les Ta- nona, who was named to the third Big Ten honor squad, and letter- men Keith Spicer and Dick Ulh- mann. Experienced outfield returnees include Andy Fischer, a senior from Adrian, and John Arvai, a junior from Dearborn. Fisher, a centerfielder, was the Big Ten batting champ in 1967 with a .459 average, and was nam- ed -to the first team in the Big Ten conference. He has been a starter for two years and "has done a fine job in pracice this fall" according to Coach Benedict. Arvai, a returning letterman, may see action in either right or left field. Another contender is Rich Orr, a junior transfer from Fort Lau- derdale, Florida. A lefthanded hitter "with a good arm, he has a fine chance of starting" Coach Benedict commented. Crystal Ball Cloudy Elliott Maddox, a sophomore from Vaux Hall, New Jersey play- ed third base for the frosh last season. Coach Benedict described Maddox as "having good tools, with excellent speed. He's been doing a fine job in ball practice this fall." John Pink, a Dearborn product, and Dave Neary of Des Moines, Iowa, are two promising sopho- mores that saw action on the freshman squad last year. It is too early to make any pre- dictions regarding the quality of the 1968 ball club, as scrimmaging will not start until spring prac- tice, and not all the players are out for practice. Injuries have side-lined a few and only returnees from last year's squad are partici- pating in fall practice. Coach Benedict hopes that, when spring practice starts, all interested per- sons will try out for the team. I I i and now...
