Thursday, March 26, 1970 THE MICHICAN DAILY ragseen Arizona crunches diamondmen HOLD EIGHTH: Golfers tee off in invitational Special To The Daily TUCSON - The Michigan base- * ball team took it on the chin yes- terday as the Wildcats of Arizona ran wild with a 16-7 win. It was the Wolverine's fifth defeat out of six contests with the Wildcats on this opening western trip. It looked like the Wolverines would have an easy time of it as they jumped on Arizona pitcher Tom Dirks for two runs in the first inning. With one out, Dan Fife walked and moved to second on a wild pitch, and Tom Ket- tinger, the rookie who is having a great start for the Wolverines, then singled to left and drove in Fife for the first tally of the game. Bob Bower then walked and with men on first and second base, John Hornyak singled to drive in Kettinger.

Reggie Ball opened the Wolver-! ine attack that inning with a walk And moved to second when Gene Lanthorn grounded out. Mark Carow singled to left, but Ball had to stop at third. Then Fife used his speed to beat out a bunt which scored Ball, and Tom Lundstedt followed with a single up the mid- dle scoring Carrow and sending Fife to third. On the throw in ?rom centerfield, Lundstedt alertly took second base. That, however, was not the end of this play, for when the third baseman for the Wildcats took the throw, he threw wild in an attempt to nail down Lundstedt. As a result of the Mets'-like folly, Fife scored and Lundstedt moved' on to third. Lundstedt closed out the scoring when Bower beat out a hit to third. The result of this wild half, inning was a 6-4 Wolverine lead. In the bottom of the second the Wildcats scored just 'once and Michigan's lead managed to hold up until the.,bottom of the fourth when the Wildcats exploded for five runs to capture the. lead for good. THE WOLVERINES rallied for one more run in the sixth inning when, pinch hitter Mike Bowen beatnout "anbunt, Carrow doubled to deep right field and Lund- stedt slashed a single to left which scored Bowen. For the Wildcats, the two main offensive cannons were Mannie Driscoll and Skip Mikulic. Mikulic had a perfect day with five singles and a walk, drove in five runs and scored three himself. Driscoll collected four base hits with one run batted in and also: scored three. The pitching for the Wolverines was all but impressive. Gene Lan- thorn only lasted for one and one- third innings as he gave up five earned runs, walked three and failed to strike out . a batter. Mickey Elwood, who relieved Lan- thorn, was even less effective as six runs were scored off hiI. Mike Hilkene pitched in the sixth and yielded one run. The final pitcher for Michigan was Tom Fleszar, who worked the last two innings and had just as exasperating a Rudy Tomjanovich, Michi- gan's great All-American bas- ketball ace, signed a three year contract yesterday with the San Diego Rockets for an estimated $600,000. Rudy was the Rockets' first choice in Monday's NBA draft. Tomjanovich thrilled Wol- verine fans for three years on the way to becoming Michigan's leading rebounder and second- leading scorer of all time. He compiled a scoring average of 30.1 points per game in Michi- gan's recent campaign. day as the other three by allowing three earned runs. FOR ARIZONA, Frank Dirks pitched for one and one-third innings, giving up five runs. How- ever, his reliever, Bill Shields, was very effective as he went seven and two-thirds innings, giving up just one run and striking out six. Today, the Wolverines close out their eight game series with tenth-ranked A r i z o n a with a doubleheader. Special To The Daily In spite of tricky winds and on- and-off rainstorms yesterday, Uni- versity of Michigan golfers came up with two average rounds and two exceptional rounds to surge into eight place in the Miami In- vitational Tournament with a 302 total, after the first days' compe- tition. Leading the tourney is Florida State which came in with a 279 total while the Miami, Fla. 'B' team and the Florida State 'B' team are second and third with 292 and 294 respectively. A total of 85 teams are entered in the tourney. Medalist for the Wolverines was captain Randy Erskine. Erskine shot an excellent 73 one stroke better than the score turned in by Keith Mohan. Rocky Pozza had a 77, John Roska and Pete Clark shot 78's, and Gary Balliet turned in a 82 to finish out the Wolver- ines scoring. Only the top four scores are counted which add up to Michigan's 302 total. Head coach Bill Newcomb an- nounced that, although he wa s satisfied with the scores, "Pozza and Roska could turn in better MICHIGAN (7) AB R H BI Carrow 3b 5 1 2 0 Fife cf 4 2 1 1 Lundstedt c 5 1 2 2 Kettinger if .5 1 1 i Makoski ph 1 0 0 0 Bowen ph 1 1 1 1 Rafferty ss 4 0 0 0I Baill2b 14 ' 0 1 ?11 Bower lb 4 0 1 1 Hornynk rf 3 0 1 1 Lanthorn p. 1 0 *0 0 Elwoodp 1 0 0 0 Hilkene p 0 0 0 0 Mulvihill ph 1 0 0 - 0 Fileszar p -' 0 0 0 0 Total 39 7 10 6 E - Carrow (2), Rafferty, (2), Wl- hams (2), Ballard.

Both Michigan and the leader, Florida State, played yesterday on the Biltmore Country Club which Newton claimed "is the easier of the two courses that the tourna- ment is played on". Today, the Wolverines continue the tourna- ment on the LeJeune Country Club. Darkness halted the day's activi- ties while a few of the contestants were still finishing their rounds so opening round play will not be completely finished until ,tomor- row morning. One of the players caught out on the course was re- ported to be three under par with three holes left to play. The leader in the clubhouse had a two under par 68. After this tourney, the golf team had another two weeks to practice before they enter the Kepler In- vitational held in Columbus, Ohio. The' Wolverine links hopes for the rerhainder of the tournament rest squarely on the shoulders of Erskine and Mohan, first-round leaders for Michigan. In addition, Balliet must improve on his poor 82 if the squad is to climb.

Atlanta, which beat Chicago 5-2 during the regular season, trailed only once in the early stages and went ahead to stay on a field goal by Walt Hazzard with 10:04 re- maining in the first quarter. The Hawks broke the game open by outscoring Chicago 14-4 during a three minute span of the third period that opened a five point lead to 16, at 95-79, with 2:51 remaining in the third quarter. The Hawks' greatest lead came with four minutes remaining when Jim Davis. hit a layup, making it. 121-100. , Caldwell scored 19 of his points in the opening period and Hudson fired in'14 in the second quarter as they took turns pacing the hot- shooting Hawks, who sank 56 per cent of their field goal attempts in the first half. Bucks buck MADISON - The 'Milwaukee Bucks, with 36 points from Lew Alcindor and heavy fourth-quar- ter help from reserve Len Chap- pell, scored a 125-118 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night in the first gameaof their best-of- seven National Basketball Asso- ciation series. Chappell came off the bench in tthe' final period and scored 13 points, including seven straight, to lift the Bucks from an 89-89 tie. He finished with 16. The Eastern Division semifinal playoff game was played at Mad- ison because of the unavailability of the Milwaukee Arena - the Bucks' regular home. Guard Jon McGlocklin was sec- ond to Alcindor in Milwaukee's scoring with 19 points, including 15 in the second half. Bill Cunningham and Archie Clark had 21 each for Philadelphia while Hal Greer had 20. The first half epded with the 76ers up by two points at 57-55, after the teams had fought a see- saw battle throughout the first two periods. HOURS: Mon.-Thurs.-1 1:00 A.M.-2 A.M.

Fourth Ave:, Anan Arbor 663-0110 By NORM SCHERR "I can promise you that our times will be our best of the year and we'll be going with everything we have." Normally, you digest a bland tidbit of coaching rhetoric like this with a heavy salting. But when Doc Counsilman cooks up this statement about his Hoosiers for the NCAA Swimming Cham- pionships, you can't swallow this heavy stuff without choking. Since Indiana swimmers own a large share of the fastest times nationally so far, and comprise a team of fantastic depth (11 cur- rent membprs scored points last year), giving their all won't leave Courts clear EMU eager LANSING (/P) - The Michigan . Court -of Appeals has cleared the way for Eastern Michigan Univer- sity's Earle B. Higgins to play pro- fessional basketball. Higgins was picked by San Fran- cisco in the third round of this week's National Basketball Asso- ciation draft of college players. The Appeals Court ruled yes- terday it was unfair for a judge to prohibit . Higgins from playing college or professional sports while on probation for breaking and en- tering. Higgins, 22, pleaded guilty to the charge in 1968 and Washtenaw Circuit Judge James Breakey Jr. placed him on five years' proba- tion: much for the mere mortal mermen of the rest of the country, Michi-; gan included, when they meet to- day in Salt Lake City for the start of the finals. With Indiana reigning, peren-. nial contenders USC, Stanford, UCLA, SMU, Long Beach State, and maybe Michigan will only be battling for second best. And for Michigan, the going will not be easy. Michigan coach Gus Stager views the situation rather realis- tically saying, "We've got a chance to place from second to sixth, but I'm not counting points now. "If we're going to finish any- where, (Gary) Kinkead and (Juan) Bello will have to swim well. in all of their events; the freshmen and sophomores will have to come through in the but- terfly, back and medleys; and we'll have to antipate fine per- formances from the divers." Filling this tall order will take some doing, but Stager finds some optimistic indications from the practices. "Bello is returning to form and (Steve) McCarthy * nd the other backstrokers have been sparkling." x Michigan has strong points in the individual medley, backstroke, butterfly and middle distance freestyle. Workhorses Kinkead and Bello will try to repeat their per- formances 'of last year, Kinkead in the 400 IM and 200 backstroke, Belo in the 100 and 200 free and possibly the 100 fly. Veteran junior Bill Mahoney will swim the breast- stroke events. The remainder of the squad, not surprisingly, is comprised of sophs and frosh. The individual medley and butterfly events are the spe- cialties of Don Peterson, Ray Mc- Cullough and Tim Norlen, with Peterson adding his talent to Mc- Carthy in the backstroke. McCul- lough also swims freestyle. Dave Clark joins Mahoney in breaststroke duties, and soph Byr- on McDonald will concentrate in the fly. All finished well in the Big Ten Finals last month. Besides individual competition, these swimmers will form some fairly strong relays, especially the 800 free and 400 medley relay. Last year, Michigan edged out Yale for fourth, due in a large part of the success of the divers. While Yale won't be there this year, part of the burden of suc- cess will *"still remain with the divers. Three will be making the trip, a fourth of the team being sent to Utah. Two divers. Dick Rydze and Bruce McManaman, are ex- perienced scoring veterans, while junior Al Gagnet will be making his national debut. Coach Dick Kimball eyes the competition at bit warily. "Last year, the NCAA's were strictly Big Ten grounds. Now we expect a little more rivalry with West Coast and Florida schools, besides Indiana, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan State." Kimball still feels, though, that his divers should give Jim Henry and front-running Indiana a good battle, and may even out-point them overall. 11 YOU CAN DISCUSS and other Important Issues MEMBERSHIP MEETING RM. 3-B UNION THURSDAY MM Noon Luncheon Series continues on "Human Convictions and the Religious Crisis" MRS.
