Th ruling by Sidney C. Volinn cleared the way for the sale this morning and the awarding of a franchise so the Milwaukee Brewers can open the season next Tuesday. Volinn told a packed courtroom, "I am constrained to find and conclude" that Pacific Northwest Sports Inc. accept a $10.8 million offer of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club Inc. Volinn appointed a receiver and said proceeds of thej sale were to be dispersed "only on the order of this court."j The referee said it was clear that the Pilots could nbt HAWKS BOUNCE BULLS: Bullets knock Knicks By The Associated Press i06 101 and take a commanding Shalr HaVimon. raflied to take a BALTIMORE - Earl Monroe thr e-game lead in their best-of- 54-51 halftime lead. scored 34 points as the Baltimore seven National Basketball Associa- Bullets beat off two late New York tion playoff series.

A spokesman for the commis- sioner's office said Kuhn would hold a news conference in the Americana Hotel at noon EST today tp announce his decision. A Detroit newspaper reported last week that McLain would be given a year's suspension for in- volvement in bookmaking activ- ities dating back to 1967. The commissioner's office, how- ever, described that report as "just a wild guess." McLain was suspended indefi- nitely by Kuhn last month after an investigation into the pitcher's gambling activities by the com- missioner's office.1 Kuhn said the indefinite sus-1 pension was "based substantially on certain admissions made can-t didly to me by Mr. McLain and not on allegations in a recent magazine article, many of which1 I believe will prove to be un- founded.", daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: MORT NOVECK I one-on-one shooting in the final minutes which clinched the vic- tory. New York, which had beaten Baltimores 12 times in 13 starts before losing the third game of the series, rallied from a 73-52 deficit to pull within 79 73 early! in the fourth quarter. The Bullets again pulled away at 87-,73 as Monroe made baskets under the close guarding of Mike Rierdan and Walt Frazier, but the Knicks again rallied to pull with-1 in 89-83 with six minutes remain- ing. Monroe sank 14 of 26 shots from the floor and made 22 of his points in the first half which ended with Baltimore in fron't 52- 46 after they squandered. a 15- point lead in the final minutes.

He said the claim of Golden West Broadcasters Inc., which owns Pilot broadcast rights, and Sportservice Corp., the Seattle concessionaire, would be handledl in the same manner as the Bank of California, which has a claim against all the club's assets. Wallace Aiken, attorney for Pacific Northwest Sports, asked that a bond of $2 million be or-I dered in the event of a petition for review of Volinn's decision.t The judgment was rendered in a night session of a hearing that started last week. Pilot owners went to bankruptcy court to relief when legal moves by Seattle and the state of Washington stalled the proposed move. Sun-tanned a By MORT NOVECK The Michigan football team held a scrimmage yesterday after- noon and while it wasn't bad enough to send the c o a c h e s into the depths of dispair, it wasn't good enough to send them into euphoric ecstacy either. According to head coach Bo Schembechler, "The defense look- ed good but the offense still isn't looking sharp." When asked why' the offense wasn't progressing as rapidly as the defense he elabor- ated, "It's easier to get the defense together quicker. The offense is, more mechanical and you have to work on the execution of the plays where on defense you can playC more on instinct." When asked how good he ex- lfers return pected the offense to get during the spring drills Schembechler seemed optimistic saying, "There's1 no reason why they can't get' sharp." The problem of getting the of- fense to jell. howeve, is further complicated by the need to workj new players into the lineup. Much' of yesterday's session was devoted to letting reserve quarterbacks Dennis Connell and Jack McBride run the second string against the first squad in the quest for a back- up to Don Moorhead. Injuries are also proving to be a problem in spring practice. Of-E fensive tackle Jack Harpring pinched a nerve in yesterday's ses- sion and while the injury is not serious, it ispainful. Sophomore Randy Logan, who might have been a fullback according to Schembechler, broke his hand in an earlier session and while he can still work out he is hampered by the injury.

They not only relished the trip; they performed quite well. Out of 85 teams competing, the Wolverines finished a strong sixth behind perennial golf powers in- cluding Florida, Florida State and Miami. In pre-tournament play, the Wolverines captured three dual- meet victories over Miami, Bald- win-Wallace and the University of the South. Michigan coach Bill Newcomb was very pleased with the Wolver- ines' play but exposed that "they weren't as sharp in the actual big tournament." Newcomb a d d e d that dual match play is usually head-to-head match play, and that style doesn't prepare the players for Big Ten stroke competition. Newcomb exuded optimism when he stated that the "scores were comparable to last year's despite the fact that we lost two seniors." Led by senior captain Randy Erskine, the Michigan team boasts a strong nucleus including juniors Keith Mohan and John Roska, and senior Rocky Pozza.j The remainder of the squad is not set even though sophomoresj Gary Balliet and Pete Clark did well down south. Also with a crack at the fifth and sixth positions are senior Bill Lyle. sophomores Dan Hunter and Chuck Burn-1 ham, and freshman Reese Lapuchi. The tournament was won by Florida as Stacy Russell led the Gators and the remainder of the field with 289. Teammate Andy North was runner-up with 290. Looking at the Big Ten race Coach Newcomb notes that In- diana, on paper, has the best talent. With Wayne McDonald, a 1969 All-America selection, and 1969 Big Ten Champion Don Pad- gett returning, the Hoosiers are definately the team to beat. Newcomb sees Purdue breathing down Indiana's back with Mich- igan in there right behind theI Boilermakers. The squad's next competition is set for April 12 when the Wolver- ines take part in the Kepler In- vitational at Columbus. The Kep- ler is a one-day event which com- bines golfing skills with stamina in the grueling 36-hole test. backfield. Billy Taylor is running at both tailback and fullback and Schembechler says nothing defi'- nite can be decided until the fall.
