Wednesday, September 11, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY poela Minp We1C F y* III McLain wi ips Indiana plans cinderella repeat Angefr ANAHEIM--Denny McLain both pitched and batted his way to a 7-2 victory over California for his 29th win of the season. McLain at the plate drilled three hits and drove in two runs while scattering nine hits from the mound and going the route for the 26th time this season. He struck out 12 while narrowing the magic number for the Tigers to nine games. Detroit jumped in front, 1-0,,in the first inning on a double by outfielder Jim Northrup and a single by Willie Horton. They then added another run in the third, when McLain tripled and came home on Dick McAuliffe's single, stretching the score to 3-0. The Tiger bats exploded with four runs in the fourth inning to put the game out of reach running the score to 6-0, with McLain's bases-loaded single driving in two of the runs. Letting up slightly with a six run lead, McLain yielded roundtrippers to Rick Reichart and Tom Satrino in the sixth inning to lose his shut-out bid. The Tigers added their final run in the top of the ninth By JIM WILE Big Ten champs, a trip to the Rose Bowl, and the best record in twenty-three years. Those were the easy things. Easy because no-' body in the world expected In- diana to pull it off last year. But that was last year, and the real work is about to begin for coach John Pont and his happy Hoosiers. Pont says they're fat SCOUTING THE BIG TEN MICHIGAN'S RON KUTSCHINSKI finished fourth in the prelimi- nary Olympic 800-meter trials in South Lake Tahoe. The Wol- verine runner (third from left) will compete in today's trials for an Olympic berth. Jim Ryan, Kansas' star miler, placed third just ahead of Kutchinski. when Northrup doubled home centerfielder Mickey Stanley. McLain now seems assured of becoming the first pitcher since Dizzy Dean to win 30 games in a season. By virtue of his 12 strike- outs last night, he is also within 17 of Hal NewHauser's Tiger sea- son strikeout record of 275. McLain received a standing ovation from the crowd of over 22,000 when he fanned Roger Re- poz to end the game. Meanwhile, Baltimore was rain- ed out at Washington, putting them 8/2 games back of league- leading Detroit. SPORTS STOPS: and sassy, and the football world is waiting to see if the men from Indiana can repeat amiracle, Speaking of miracles, there's the Indiana backfield. Pont is blessed with some solid All-American prospects.mFor instance, there's junior Harry Gonso, one of last year's miracle men who is ready to punt, pass, run, and get Cokes if need be. Last year Gonso spark- ed the Hoosier machine with timely passing to his sticky fin- gered flanker Jade Butcher. But- cher was second in the nation last { daily ors sports NIGHT EDITOR: ELLIOTT BERRY i ' z F JOHN ISENBARGER KutsehTsk eyes Olympic bid greats Taylor, Groza retire play, adding an extra dimension to the Indiana attack. The power of fullback T e r r y Cole will be missed this year but coach Pont expects great things from sophomore Hank Pogue. Pogue, a good blocker runs the 100 in 9.9. The Hoosiers will probably be hurting in the defense department this year. Pont lost three line- backers, two tackles, and a good pass defense. Indiana's defense will probably not be one to instill terror among the enemy. One bright spot falls on the helmet of senior linebacker Jim Sniadecki. Last year he made 84 tackles which Pont called "remarkable, considering opponents consistent- ly avoided his side of the field".. Last year, aided by a tremend- ous desire to ' win, the Hoosier team never slowed. But they suf- fered relatively few injuries, and they might be less fortunate this season. If a key man like Gonso is hurt, the roof could cave in. Gonso, a fairly small man, is fac- ed with a missing middle line. This alone should keep him run- ning, and a moving target isrlike a one-winged duck in October. A favorable schedule will aid the Hoosier charge. Conspicuous in its absence from Indiana's Western Conference line-up, is Ohio State, a predicted Big Ten contender and powerhouse.With: its hardest games coming at the end of the season (Minnesota and Purdue), the Hoosiers may have some trouble in keeping b o t h spirit and body in peak perform- ance. HARRY GONSO year in TD catches. He dropped only three passes all last year. Perhaps Indiana's foremost weakness will be the middle of the offensive line, due to the gradua- tion of center Harold Mauro andI guards Bob Russell and Gary Cas- sells. This could cause the Hoos- iers to run primarily to the out- side. John Isenbarger, the Indiana Davy Crocket, will cover most ofI the frontier ground. Pont feels Isenbarger is only a half-year, away from being in the class of a Keyes or a Simpson. Last year he led the Hoosiers in rushing with 579 yards and a 4.3 average. Isenbarger is a 1 s o capable of throwing on the option' Major League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE St. Louis San Francisco xCincinnati Chicago Atlanta Pittsburgh Philadelphia xHouston Los Angeles New York W 90 79 73 76 74 70 68 68 66 65 L 57 67 69 71 72 74 76 79 80 82 Pct.+ .616 .538 .518 .510 .510 .486 .472 .451 .448 .442 GB 1012 142 15/ 151 19 21 231/ 241,E x-Late game not included YESTERDAY'S GAMES Chicago 8, New York 1 Philadelphia at Pittsburgh, ppd, rain Houston 3, Cincinnati 2, 2nd game Inc Los Angeles 3, St. Louis 0 San Francisco 4, Atlanta 2 Nw TODAY'S GAMES New York at Chicago Philadelphia at Pittsburgh, night.

Taylor will continue his asso- ciation with the Saints in a front office capacity in the area of pub-, lic relations. ''It is with deep regret and a sense of great loss that Taylor's] long playing career has come to an end," said John W. Mecom Jr., owner of the club. "But it per- haps is fitting that he played out his career in his home state where' he gave leadership and stability to Louisiana's first professional foot-, ball team." Taylor will be 33 in 10 more days and behind him are 10 years of glory and records in the Na- tional Football League.
