TUCSON, Ariz. -Michigan ex-
oloded for 12 runs in the first
four innings, and Jim Burton
scattered eight hits, as the Wol-
verines clobbered the Arizona
Wildcats 12-4 yesterday.
Michigan banged, out 16 hits,
15 of them in the first four frames,
against seven ' Arizona pitchers.
Burton went the distance for the
*Wolverines. f
The Wolverines stunned the
Wildcats with six hits in the first
inning, and Arizona starter Bob
Hooten was out of the game al-
most befoie he was in it.
FIVE HITS, including, a triple
by Tom Lundstedt and a bases
loaded double by Mike Rafferty,
one of two two-baggers he had in
the game, aided the Wolverines.
as did three Wildcat errors and a
passed ball. Hooten committed two
of the errors to add to his misery.
The Michigan attack rested in
the second, but came back to life
in the third with three runs on
five hits. The Wildcats committed
two more fielding miscues.
After beating out a hit to the
pitcher, Mike Bowen was thrown,
out at the plate on Rafferty's sec-
ond double of the day. Rafferty
scored on Reggie Ball's single to
second center, and singles by Mark
Carrow and Dan Fife drove in the
other two runs.
THE FOURTH INNING saw
three more Wolverine runs, five
more Wolverine hits, but, strange-,
ly, no Wildcat errors.
Tom Kettinger's single, Bob Ma-
koski's double to left, and singles
by Bowen and Rafferty, along
with Ball's infield out, accounted
for the runs.

on a two run homer by Ed Benson,
the lone round-tripper of the
game.
Burton, who was a little wild
with seven walks, allowed Ari-
zona's other two runs in the ninth.
Three bases on balls, and a wild
pitch scored Manny Driscoll, and
a passed ball by Lundstedt let in
Roy Gump with the Wildcats'
final tally.
Aiding the Wolverine attack yes-
terday was speed, as Carrow, Raf-,
ferty and Bowen beat out infield
hits, and Carrow stole a base.
The biggest 'of the big Wolverine
bats belonged to Rafferty. A left-
handed hitter, Rafferty sprayed
hits around the field, with a
double to left-center, a double to
right and an infield hit to t h e
second baseman.
BURTON, the ace of Michigan's
staff, struck out 10, while walk-
ing seven, and allowed t h r e e
earned runs in bringing his won-
lost record to 1-1.
The victory was the Wolverine's;
first in five starts. It snapped the
Arizona winning streak at five and
brought the Wildcat -record down
to 16-5.
The two teams go at it herea

Despite these hardships, Head
Coach Bill Newcomb explained.
that he is expecting a good per-
formance out of his team since
they have played exceptionally STUfDENT PO
well in their pracitice sessions
down in Florida.
Yesterday, for example, the
Michigan golf team was victorious rp ng lea
in three hastily arranged dual SpigCe
meets as they conquered the Uni- AII0
versity of Miami (Fla.), Baldwin-
Wallace, and the University of the
South. Keith Mohan was medalist
for the team with a 73. The Wol-
verines other four competitors
shot 74, 74, 75, and 75 which
prompted Newcomb to comment,
"Our scores are real good and, if Gr t
we keep this up we could possibly
win the tojirnament."

with a very experienced team. Of
the seven players who made the
State, and Jacksonville. Florida
boasts the best amateur player in
the world, the current U.S. Arna-
teur champion, Steve Melnyk.
Melnyk won the title at the short
but extremely difficult Oakmont
Country Club in Pittsburgh 1 a s t
June with four rounds of 70-73-73-
70.
The University of Houston, pro-
claimed by almost everyone as the
best golf school in the country, is
not competing in the meet.
After this week's tournament,
the team heads back to Ann Ar-
bor for two more weeks of prac-
tice, then has another pre-Big Ten
mneet in Columbus, Ohio, the Kep-
ler Invitational. Finally, on April
18th the Big Tden season com-
mences with the Illinois Invita-
tional at Champaign.

-Pilots given ok to sell
SEATTLE () -Federal bank-
ruptcy referee Sidney Volinn will
sign an order today lifting all re-
straints to sell the sell the Seattle
Pilots to a Milwaukee group so he
'can decide on the merits of. that
sale at a hearing March 30, spe-
cial Washington Asst. Atty. Gen
William Dwyer said yesterday.
Dwyer's explanation came after
Volinn continued the case of the
financially - troubled Pilots until
today at 10 a.m.
Volinn said during a hearing
marked by passionate statements
by botl sdes that his primary
concern .was with the Pilots or-
ganization, which had, put itself
in his hands under Chapter 11 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Act.
He said it was "'incumbent on
this court to keep open for con-
sideration the offer of the Mil-
waukee group, which comes before
us March 30."
Volinn said that while various
arguments were put forth to keep
the club in Seattle, nobody had
come forward with a plan to save
it financially.
The Milwaukee group, mean-
while, already has entered into an
agreement to buy the club f o r
$10.8 million.
The deal would be closeable on
April 30 and would offer means
for Pacific Northwest Sports, Inc.,
owner-of the Pilots to pay its cre-
ditors. ,
"Every way we turn around,"
Volinn said, "we have an assured
$10.8 million offer from Milwau-
kee. If we don't take that, we
have nothing."
Volinn stressed that he was not
saying he would approve sale of
the club to Milwaukee. He said his
primary responsibility in this case
was to Pacific Northwest Sports,
and that he had to be free of other
court entanglements to decide
what would be best for the Pilots
and the creditors.
Alfred Schweppe, the Seattle
lawyer whose injunctions and re-
tainers stopped the American
League from approving sale of the
franchise, said about the situation:
' "The solution is to make the
American League honest." -
He said the league should be
made to fulfill its commitments
concerning financing the team
during the 1970 season.
Dwyer said Volinn's action
would not affect the various dam-
age suits against the American
League and the Pilots. Those suits
total more than $82' million,. He
did concede, however, that the
Pilots apparently were Milwaukee-
bound unless someone came for-.
ward with at least as good an offer
before a move.
That seemed highly unlikely.
Earlier, the secretary-treasurer of
the Pilots testified that the club
is losing $12,500 a day and is in
a "catastrophic" financial situ-
ation.
Max Soriano, who owns nearly
one-third of the stock in the year-
old American League team, told
Volinn, "It has been apparent for
several months we would be unable
to operate without the infusion of
new monies."
He said that at a conservative
estimate it would require $4.3 mil-
lion to carry the Pilots through
next Feb. 28, taking into account
a projected cash loss of $1.55 mil-
lion for the 1970 season.
Soriano was the first witness as
the legal battle over the Pilots
shifted to federal court. Many of
the figures he cited had been
brought out earlier in the day in
King County Superior Court by
the club's controller.
The hearing before Volinn re-
quired 'Washington state and
Seattle to show cause why they
should not be enjoined from inter-
fering with the sale of the Pilots
to Milwaukee at the agreed price
of $10.8 million.
It was scheduled after Pacific
Northwest Sports Inc., owner of'
the Pilots, filed a petition in V.S.
District Court last week asking it
to order the sale under provisions
of the Bankruptcy Act. 'Volinn
was assigned to hear the matter
Soriano said the corporation
now has $91,000 in the bank, has
a normal overhead of $250,000 a
month, but ,the overhead at this
time is $350,000 a month because
of spring training.
The Dekers Organization held
their annual dinner at the' Town
Club last night honoring the 1969-
70 edition of the Wolverine
hockey team.
Awards were given while Paul
Gamsby, a junior from Sudbury,
Ontario, was named Michigan
captain for the 1970-71 season.
Gamsby, a chippy player but a
team leader will take on just
about anybody. Gamsby finished
the league scoring race with nine
goals and 16 assists. Gamsby also
had 20 penalties serving 46 min-
utes.
THE DEKERS Organization also
chose Bernie Gagnon as the most
Colorful Rookie. Gagnon led the
team in scoring as a sophomore
and is already a top pro prospect.
In the NHL draft St. Louis took
Gagnon as their number two pick
and it looks like Gagnon may join
former Wolverine hockey star Red
Berenson with the- Blues when he
graduates.
The Most Valuable Player,
chosen by the players, was award-
ed to graduating senior Don Deeks.
Deeks who has always played well
at center, came on in scoring this
year with 11 goals and 15 assists.
THE MOST Improved Player,
chosen by Coach Al Renfrew, was
given to Jerry Lefebvre, a ,soph-
omore from North Bay, Ontario.
Lefebvre moved into the regular
lineup when Punch Cartier was
handed a one-game suspension
during one of his frequent fisti-
cuffs.
