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."

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. * * * * * * Height, riots, threats---but Games go on MEXICO tCITY (P) - Mexico's against the government.

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. - We Have Them Al ig and Small State S' Soled -I '71-IJfvsiw St. t i I i j 1 I {E r i a 7 3:{ z 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.
