1X THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wolverines Fall I ,ocal Batters Limited to Seven Hits, lurler Marcereau Drives in Lone Run Lo Powerful Western, Squad, by Jim Benagh, Sports Editor 7-1 By BILL ZOLLA "The baseballs seemed to have eyes," shouted Western Michigan's diamond coach, Chuck Maher to his adversary, Michigan's Don Lund as the two men followed their teams off the field after Western's 7-1 victory here yester- day. He was referring to the many hard-hits but right at 'em drives that the Wolverines smashed into the gloves of the Western players at key moments in the game. A trio of Bronco pitchers gave up seven hits and three walks while the . team committed four errors. Lone Run In that frame, catcher Dick Syring reached second base on a throwing error by third baseman Joe Gresser. Starting Michigan pitcher, Bob Marcereau then placed a two-out single over sec- ond base that tallied the runner. Two more infield errors followed to load the bases, but the Michi- gan team reached the height of its frustration as first baseman George Fead hit a hot grounder to the third baseman who stepped on the bag to retire the side. The Wolverines stranded 11 runners, eight in the first four innings. The big guns in Western's at- tack were first baseman Andy Barich, catcher Larry Belanger and second baseman Tom Wood. Barich scored one run and drove in two more in the Broncos' big three-run first inning that put the game beyond the reach of the Wolverines. Bellinger knocked in three runs on a sacrifice fly and a tremendous home run to left field. Wood collected three singles scoring one tally and batting in another. First Inning Runs The left handed Marcereau had only himself to blame for his first inning predicament, however. He walked the leadoff man, center- fielder Roger Flath, and then pro- ceded to hit the next batter, right fielder Larry Randall. Shortstop Frank Quilici sacri- ficed the runners along and set the stage for Barich's two-run hit, Gresser followed with a walk, and Wood subsequently drove in Barich with a single. Marcereau struck out the dan- gerous Belanger to halt the dam- age at this point. Score Again Western added another score in the third inning as Gresser led off with a double. He advanced to third as Fead committed an error at first. Belanger then sacrificed him home with a deep fly to left field. Marcereau seemed to find him- self in ,the next two frames as he retired six men in order, but he was hit hard in the sixth. Wood singled, and then sBelanger fol- lowed with his long blast that cleared the fence in left center field and landed a good fifty feet beyond. The visitors collected their last tally in the ninth off relief hurler Al Koch. They bunched a walk to Randall, single by Quilici, and an error by shortstop Barry Marshall, who had replaced Terry Ziegler, to score the run. Lineup' Juggled The Wolverines' lineup was juggled by Lund to make as much use of his available players as pos- sible. Three regulars were unable to compete in the contest; they were first baseman Bill Roman, who was nursing an injured leg, sustained in a collision with Wis- consin's Dale Hackbart on Satur- day, shortstop Gene Struczewski and center fielder Jack Mogk, both of whom had important exams. All of Lund's crew will be fit and ready today though as the team travels to Detroit to play University of Detroit. Western Omlette WESTERN MICH.

Tennis Team Def eats Michigan State, To Secure Fourth Consecutive Victory Special to The Daily EAST LANSING - Michigan's heralded tennis team, once again chalked up another victory, this time against Michigan State 7-2, yesterday. The Wolverines made this their fourth consecutive win which gives them an overall season record of eight wins and one loss. The only setback this year came at the hands of the powerful Notre Dame club by a close 5-4 count. By defeating the Spartans yes- terday the 'M' netmen are cur- rently at the top of the Big Ten heap. This win also enabled the team to stay in top shape for the Illinois meet this Friday. Erickson Wins Numier one man, Jon Erickson, started out Michigan's winning winning ways by defeating MSU's Bill Hotchkiss, 6-3, 6-2. Erickson, who has been plagued by an in- jured back since his high school days, did not receive any reoc- currences of this old nemesis. In number two singles, Gerry Dubie added another victory to his credit by downing Dave Smith, 6-3. 6-2. Dubie, although only a sophomore, has been living up to all expected predictions and prob- ably will be depended on heavily next year. In doubles, Erickson and Dubie formed the number one Michigan representation again. They went. on to chalk up a very closely played -7-5, 6-4 win. In addition, in number two doubles, Zaitzeff and Peacock re- versed a first set 0-6 loss and ended up winning 0-6, 6-0, ยข-0. The final doubles match was a 6-4, 6-3 vic- tory for MSU's Plagenhoff and Mescall over Sassone and Gordon. Yesterday also marked the first time that the Wolverine tennis team played on the Spartan's newly built asphalt tennis courts. The only 'M' singles loss was given to sophomore Mike Gordon, 4-6, 3-6.

Bowl Vote IF SGC BECKONS you to its polls today to vote on "the crucial" Rose Bowl question, there are a lot of sides of this story to consider. Everybody wants to get in this act and tell 44 football players what they are supposed to do on New Year's Day - and then on an average of only once every decade. The game, and the player's bowl future, has become a game between faculty, alumni, athletic admin- istrators and students. Pros .. . But let's look at the game from the players' viewpoint, since they should be considered first. Attending a bowl game is not as detract- ing to the players as people think. Only four of the 16 practice ses- sions are scheduled on class days. The others are held on Saturdays and during the actual vacation. Several Rose Bowl veterans, includ- ing Michigan Coach Bump Elliott, have declared that their parti- cipation in the game and its preparations did not hamper their school work. There is no question that the game is a rich experience for the players as well as the students. There is a rule against a school going two years in a row, thus eliminating any chance to spoil the, honor with repetition as the case has been with Oklahoma. (Ohio State' Woody Hayes pointed out the other day that, "If 'you got to go every year, I'd vote against the Bowl.") Most of the negative feelings toward the game are not the players' fault - although they will be the ones to suffer if the pact is voted out. The commercialization of the affair is its biggest wealness. But if this were used as a reason to rule out the game, it would be utter rationalization. No one has to spend money on all the high-price lures at Pasadena. The other major weakness .is the attitudes of students and . alumni at schools which fail to make the trip. If one wants an ex- cellent example, he may re- examine the reaction of the fans four years ago when Michigan lost to Ohio State in the bowl bid showdown. At 1:30 p.m. that Saturday afternoon, Michigan was on the verge of a championship. Three hours later the team was booed by many of their support- ers, who engaged in a free-for-all in the stands that brought con- -" 1. siderable shame to the University. .. .and Cons Are there any positive reasons!. . in the act why the Big Ten should pull out of the Bowl pact? One is that the Western Conference is lowering in prestige if it establishes a contract with the newly-formed Coast league which will include at least four California schools and Wash- ington. The new group can't even match the strength of the old Pacific Coast Conference which the Big Ten smashed in 12 of 13 outings. Unfortunately, several Big Ten schools will push for a renewal of the Bowl pact - probably for financial reasons. The list includes Michigan, whose, athletic department suffered tremendously from lack of finances this year. The schools that do want a bowl pact have only the Rose Bowl to choose, too, because of segregation rules (on field and/or stands) in the nation's four other major bowl contests. Maybe the Confer- ence ought to drop the pact - but because of the prestige factor, not the players. A m " " "msw- - -- m mmmm m - m e- ---"' m "'""mwm - Ourcardfor your convenience kw.

The 39-year-old Robinson also fulfilled a New York Athletic Com- mission ultimatum to sign for a Basilio fight by Friday or lose -his title by an edict in that state. The announcement, made at a press conference, immediately caused speculation in boxing cir- cles. Some officials intimated it was a phony deal on Robinson's part to stall for time in efforts to regain his title.
