TO CALL THE RACE last year in the National League West a
dogfight would be an understatement. To call it a source of
great national excitement would be an overstatement.
While the world marvelled at the achievements of Balti-
more's 'super team' and got knocked on its derriere at the ac-
complishments of the Mets, the NL West quietly went around its
business with a five-team race, a baseball first and a real mir-
acle considering there were only five teams in the division.
Nowhere was the impact of the frenzied face lost more than
it was in Houston. The Astros and their fans had always con-
tented themselves with the world's first domed stadium for base-
ball and the world's first carpet of Astro-Turf. To have a win-
ner in stch a glorious palace was something so magnificant
that even an egocentric Texan would probably tell you that
it was too much to ask for.
Yet it nearly came to pass. Houston overcame a bad start
and moved into the thick of it far sooner than even the Mets.
q'They were only two games off the pace in early September be-
fore they collapsed to finish in the fifth-place slot unanimously
accorded them before the season began. This Astro surge be-
comes even remarkable when one recognizes that they didn't
hit for beans. Jim Wynn led the team with an anemic .269, and
Houston batters in general seemed to swing with clubs more
suited for whiffle balls. Houston thrived on the strong young
arms of pitchers like those of Larry Dierker and Don Wilson,
and it is hard to believe that these arms will fail the Astros
this year. Equally inconceivable is a repeat of the collective
misery the Astros endured last year at the plate.
Ex-Yankee Joe 'Pepitone could respond in style if the As-
tros can generate a winning atmosphere, and rookie John May-
berry shows promise of blooming earlier than even the most
optimistic Houston rooter had hoped. Wynn, Dennis Menke,
Jesus Alou and a host of mediocre but solid players give Hous-
ton a solid line-up, and it is more than likely that the ball club
will at last outdraw the stadium.
Predicting a winner in the NL West is the epitome of
optimism. Outside of the Padres of San Diego, any of the
other five teams is fully capable of taking it all or dropping
out of sight into fifth.
ATLANTA seemed as'good a bet as anyone when spring
training began. Then Ron Reed got a longer suspension than
Denny McLain when he injured his shoulder and went under
the knife. He could conceivably miss the entire season, and the
questionable Atlanta pitching ceased to be a question. Reed won
his last eleven starts last year and without him, the Braves have
only Phil Niekro. Carrying a faceless pitching staff is more
than even Henry Aaron can handle.
CINCINNATI will hit. For most of last year they had five
or six .300 hitters, but they had just about the worst pitching
around. The shaky status of the entire division allowed them to
survive most of the season without this essential, but in the
end, when the hitters faded just a bit, Cinsinnati died. To al-
a leviate this condition, the Reds traded some of their hitters,
notably Alex Johnson, to strengthen the pitching, but even now
the Reds' pitching is laid low by injuries. Cincinnati could win,
but to pick them now is to assume that a whole lot of unproven
assumptions will become realities.
SAN FRANCISCO is someone's pick every year, and invar-
iably, they are by September someone's disappointment. Such
habits are hard to break. The Giants are trying a little minor
face-lifting (like cutting Jim Ray Hart) but still, it is a team
that Bay residents will unenthustically recognize. Outside of
Mays, McCovey and Marichal, the Giants' players wallow in ob-
scurity. They seem every year to possess enough good men to
get them to the top, but not enough of them to stay there.
Something will have to give if this is to change.
LOS ANGELES possesses superiority in mediocrity to their
northern neighbors, and they have two 20-game winners in-
stead of one. Indeed, of all the teams in the west, they appear
to be the soundest. They have enough good players to fill the
nine positions and there will always be a few good ones left
on the bench. Still, they lack the one or two players who can
really excel and breathe fire into a team. For the Los Angeles
crew to take it in the West, all the other contenders would have
to fail in finding answers to their question marks. This makes
them as dubious a winner as anyone.
All the preceeding brings me back to Houston. There is no
way Houston can win it - right - and there's no way anyone
else can take it - right? Would you believe San Diego???

Special To The Daily
PHILADELPHIA - A super-
lative performance in the last
three events offset a subpar be-
gining and sent the Michigan
gymnastics team into today's
NCAA finals. The Wolverines got
a 9.5 from Ron Rapper on the
parallel bars to key the specta-
cular comeback.
Iowa State led the three quali-
fying teams by scoring 161.6. Mich-
igan followed by 161.25, while host
Temple nippedSouthern Illinois,
160-159.85 for the other place in
the championship. The enthu-
siastic and partisan crowd did
nothing to hurt the Owl perform-
ance, and many competitors felt
the judging favored the home
team.
Michigan's first event was the
rings, on which they scored only
26.6, despite a strong 9.0 by fresh-
man Skip Frowick. The scores im-
proved slightly in floor exercise,
with 26.8, but the bottom fell out
of the barrel on the side horse.
DESPITE A 9.4 by Dick Kaziny,
the side horse posted a mere 25.7,
and found themselve* in fourth
place after the afternoon sessions.
Iowa State had 81.4, and was vir-
tually assured of a place in the
finals. The Salukis followed with
80.25 while Temple led the Wol-
verines 79.70-79.10.
From the beginning of the eve-
ning sessionhowever, Michigan
alleviated any fears that it might
not qualify. Southern Illinois de-
stroyet itself with a 26.0 on the
horizontal bars, while the Wolver-
ines struck fast with a 27.1 in the
vaulting. Then Rapper, Murray
Plotkin, and Sid Jensen combined

for a 27.4 to place them 0.9 ahead
of the Salukis and within .05 of
Temple.
Then, on the horizontal bar,
Michigan let go with 27.65, lead
by Ed Howard's 9.3 and Ted Mar-
ti's 9.2. All four Wolverine per-
formers scored over 9.0 in this
event.
THE QUESTION came down to
whether SIU or Temple would
make the finals. The Salukis
needed a 9.5 on the parallel bars
from Don Locke, the last com-
! finals
petitor of the night, to edge the
Owls, but Locke came up short
with a 9.3.
T h e all-around competition
came to a close today, as Wash-
ington's Yoshi Hayasaki scored
108.25 to take the title. Pete Di-
Furio or Temple came in second
at 105.7, while Hide Yueshita of
Washington was third with a
104.75. Michigan entry,. Rick Mc-
Curdy, tied for seventh with Iowa's
Rick Scorza at 101.50.
Wolverine coach Newt Loken
said, "Today our object was to
qualify tomorrow. Now we'll let it
all go, and go all out on every
event."
BESIDES THE team finals, the
individual competition will end
today. Michigan's only entry, Ron
Rapper, still leads after the com-
pulsories and one round of op-
tionals. He will be trying to de-
fend the parallel bars title he won
last year.
In -the individual finals of the
trampoline .championships, the
Wolverine's George Huntzicker
captured the title by downing New
Mexico's Stormy Eaton in the
finals of the double elimination
tournament. The two had beaten
each other, and the final head to
head confrontation resulted in a
narrow victory for Huntzicker.
Michigan's other two finalists,
Tim Wright and Chris Keane, fin-
ished fourth and fifth respectively.
Pipers pummeled
RALEIGH, N.C. -. The Carolina
Cougars outscored the Pittsburgh
Pipers 22-7 in the last five-min-
utes last night for a 107-83 Amer-
can Basketball Association victory
that kept alive their faint hopes
of a second place finish in the
Eastern Division.
The flurry came after Pitts-
burgh had cut the Cougar lead to
85-76.
The victory left Carolina three
games behind Kentucky in their
battle for second place before the
start of playoffs late this month.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (4)
- Prime Minister John Verster
yesterday indicated he will not
give way to demands that South
Africa desegregate sports.
"No onu has done more to keep
the traditional sporting ties of
South Africa than I," he, told a
political rally. "I went out of my
way and I will go out of my way
in the future, because I value
these ties and I am a sportsman
myself. But ... no one should ex-
pect me to knuckle down to the
demands of Communist countries
anywhere."
He said the reason why South
Africa was barred from the 1970
Davis Cup tennis tournament was
not because she refused a visa to
a black United States player
(Arthur Ashe) but becausp "the
Communist c o u n t r i e s Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Rumania re-
fused to play with us."
They wanted "mixed sport in
South Africa in all spheres-school
sports, tennis, cricket," he said.
He asked his audience: "Do you
want to open your tennis clubs
to people of all colors?"
When several. listeners shouted
"yes" he retorted:
"Why-haven't you done it. You
have had plenty of time to do it."

1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,1718 shaves.
Oi a single charge.
The Norelco Rechargeable Tripleheader
Shaver was made to do two things:
To shave you as close or closer than a
stainless steel razor blade.
And to give you up to twice as many shaves
per charge as'any other rechargeable shaver.
Here's how it works.
The heads actually float, to follow the.
curves of your face.
They go in where your face curves in, and
out where your face curves out.
And because the blades are rotary, they
shave your beard in every direction at once.
(If you don't think that means anything, feel
your face. Feel how your beard grows in different
directions on different parts of your face?)
The Norelco Tripleheader also has a
pop-up trimmer, so you can see exactly what
-C'
you're trimming.
It has a Charge Indicator that lights up
when it's charging.
It has a Shave Counter to countyourshaves
And it gives you nearly twice as many
shaves per charge as any other rechargeable.
So if you're shaving with a blade,
feel around your chin and neck and upper lip.
If it feels like you could use a closer
shave, get yourself a Norelco Rechargeable.
And shave your whole face for a change.
