TIGERS FAVORED
On the strength of their rousing
0 8-1 shelling of Nelson Briles in
the second game and the return
to their homhe park, the Tigers;
were slight favorites - 11-10 - to
win the third game. St. Louis,,
however, remained a 13-10 choice
to take the Series.
Mayo.Smith, manager of the Ti-
* gers, had toyed with the idea of
pitching Wilson in St. Louis but
decided to hold h i m for Tiger
Stadium where the home run dis-
tances are more to his liking. The
power alleys at Tiger Stadium in
left center and right center are,
from 15 to 20 feet closer than at
Busch Stadium.
"We're built for this park," said
Smith while the Tigers worked
out on the open date in the sch-
edule. "We have to out-homer the
other club to win. Psychologically
it's a lift to us to come home."

TODAY'S TIGER STARTER, Earl Wilson, welcomes St. Louis pitcher Ray Washburn to Tiger
Stadium as the Series moves to Detroit for the next three games. Washburn (14-8), who has just
completed his best season in the major leagues, will go against Wilson in the third game. The
return to the home ballpark and the smaller outfield both contributed to making the Tigers 'a
slight favorite in the third game.
Wolverines hope to scuttle Navy, even series
lBy PAT ATKINS
mark
None of the Midshipmen were
allowed to come up for the Michi-
gan-Navy clash today, so the Bri-
gade will be represented only by
their 'football team.
Something about not wanting to
hurt the Middies morale. Maybe
they should have kept the team
at home, too.
Their last two times out have
ended in 31-6 and 49-15 losses,
while the Michigan gridders un-
derwent a Cinderella transforma-
tion between their first two
garmes.
But the memory of the Wolver-
ines' closing minutes loss to Navy
last year must serve as a damper
to Michigan's hopes for an "easy"
victory.
Neither Navy's offensive attack
nor their defense has shown much
flash in their previous two, out-
ings.
Against Penn State their run-
ning game totaled a puny seven
yards, while five1 of quarterback
Mike McNallen's passes were in-
tercepted.
Improvement was forthcoming
in the Boston College game with
Navy gaining 203 yards on the
ground, but their defensive de-
ployment could not hold the Ea-
gles and they lost 49-15.
With the performance against
Duke of Ron Johnson and' Garvie
Craw looming before 'them, Navy's
Adefense Ail be facing a tougher
assignment than in either of its
other games.
Halfbacks Charley Pittman of'
Penn State and Dave Bennett of
Boston College each carried for
more than 150 yards against Navy.
Last year Wolverine halfback
Johnson cracked the Middies' de-
fense for 270 yards, practically
twice as much as Pittman or Ben-
nett. This year he may be going
for a perfect 300 game.
The opposition has scored 80,
points against Navy since the sea-
son's kick-off, which is hardly an
Impressive statistic to carry into
a game. Coach Bill Elias'' predic-
tion that "we have some unsettl-
ing problems to solve" could not
have been more prophetic.

The Mexican students-agitators

Other top men on the IOC Ex-
ecutive Committee agreed.
HALFBACK JERI BALSLY (left) and Captain and tight end M~ike Clark lead Navy into today's
game with Michigan at Ann Arbor. Balsly rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown in last year's game
with the Wolverines, which Navy won, 26-21. Clark, who caught two passes for 49 yards against
Michigan last year, is the leading Middie receiver thus far in 1968. However, the rest of the passing
corps, both throwers and catchers, was lost through graduation.

Michigan's loss of guard Bob
Baumgartner -- he made the Na-
vy All-Opponent Team last year-
will not console the Middies' de-
fense. and if Michigan can repeat
their Duke performance, Navy wil
have enough to worry about.
Graduation robbed Navy of its
two best receivers, split end Rob
Taylor and flanker Terry Murray,
who scored the winning touch-
down over Michigan last y e a r.
And it took the other end of the
passing combination too, quarter-
back John Cartwright.
The five interceptions and four
fumbles recorded in the Penn
State game indicate the inexper-
ience plaguing Navy. Their best
returning receiver, senior captain
Mike Clark has gained 99\yards in
10 catches. But the entire left side
of the offensive line was wiped
out through graduation.
'Senior halfback Roland Lauren-
zo had the finest afternoon of his
career during the otherwise dis-
mal Boston College clash, carry-
ing the ball for 92 yards in 13
tries. And sophomore Karl Sch-I
welm caught three passes for 90
yards in his debut as a N ay
flanker which gives the Wolver-
ine defense some statistics to mull
over.
Before the game this afternoon,
Navy is share holder in an elite
group. Only three; teams in the
country have an edge over Micbi-
gan in series competition. Army
and Cornell are two of them and
Navy holds tenuous claim as the
third with a 5-4-1 record.
A loss would drop them from the
list. Maybe that's why none of the
Midshipmen could come to soday's
game.
