Wednesday, September 10, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Mets 1 1Nhe Associated Pres NEW YORK -Tom Seaver fired a five-hitter and Don Clen- denon and Art Shamsky clouted home runs last night as the ram- paging New York Mets climbed to within one-half game of f i r s t place in the National League's East Division with a 7-1 victory over the sagging Chicago Cubs. It was the sixth straight loss for the front-running Cubs, their longest losing streak of the season, and the fifth victory in the last six starts for the Mets. who have charged into the pennant picture after trailing Chicago by 9' games on Aug. 13. Since then, New York has spun off 20 victories in 26 games while the Cubs have gone 11-15. Seaver, who won his 21st game, was in complete command as the Mets scored early and often against Ferguson Jenkins, C h i- cago's ace righthander. Jenkins was a last-minute choice by Man- ager Leo Durocher, subbing for scheduled starter Ken Holtzman, a left-hander. The late switch didn't b o t h e r the Mets. They tagged Jenkins for two quick runs in the first inning on Ken Boswell's double follow- ing walks to Tommie Agee and Cleon Jones. Two innings later. the M e t s made it 4-0 on Clendenon's 13th homer with Shamsky on base. Shamsky had forced Jones and then was trapped off first. But Chicago second baseman Glenn Beckert dropped a throw and Shamsky reached second. Seaver retired the first 10 Cubs in order before Beckert doub- led in the fourth and rode home on lion Santo's single. Willie Smith followed with a single, but Seaver got Jim Hickman on a fly ball, ending the inning. Seaver doubled and came home on an infield out and a sacrifice fly in the Mets fifth, then Sham- ower sky hit his 13th homer an inning later. There was carnival atmosphere in the crowd of 51,448. As t h e Mets built up their lead, fans down the left field line set fire to a Cubs' pennant. Moments later, the crowd exploded in song, ser- enading the Cubs' dugout with the refrain "Goodbye Leo, goodbye Leo. goodbye Leo, we're glad to see you go. .IC(,o0CC i'uls Reds CINCINNATI - Willie McCov- ey s two-run homer in the seventh inning snapped a tie and triggered San Francisco to a 7-4 victory over Cincinnati last night that pushed the Giants back into first place in the National League West by one- half game over the Reds. The Reds had slipped past the Giants by winning a doubleheader Monday night. Willie Mays opened the decisive seventh with a single off Jim Merritt, 16-7, and McCovey fol-' lowed with his 42nd home run of the season. The Giants wrapped it up with four runs in the eight against Merritt and Pedro Ramos. Gaylord Perry, beset by com- plaints of spitball throwing that got Cincinnati's Pete Rose kickedI out of the game, checked the Reds{ on six hits and posted his 17th triumph. All four runs were un- earned. Singles by Johnny Bench and Lee May sandwiched around Jim Hart's throwing error gave the Reds a 1-0 lead in the second but the Giants knotted it in the fifth on a homer by Dick Dietz.

By ED MORRIS Last year's dramatic tie game between Harvard and Yale ended an extremely interesting season in the usually drab Ivy League. This year, though, such talented players as Yale's Brian Dowling and Calvin Hill, Harvard's Vic Gatto and Pete Hall and Colum- bia's Marty Domres have gradu- ated and taken with them the luster of Ivy football. The graduation of top players from all teams, in fact, has left the conference picture murky and no team can be considered a heavy favorite to take the championship. Of the contenders. Pennsyl- vania, must be considered the strongest since most of last year's surprising squad is returning. Their forte is their passing game - spear-headed by quarterback Bernie Zbrzeznj who threw for 1.278 yards last year. Definitely. Coach Robert Odell has a nucleus of experienced play- ers to build on. including All-Ivy tackles Mike Chwastyk and Jim Fuddy. The absence of established de- fensive backs, however, make the Quakers only cautious favorites. Harvard remains in contention because several outstanding play- ers, led by big tight eild Pete Var- ney, are returning to the offensive, platoon. Varney became the hero, of last year's Yale game when he grabbed a pass from quarterback Frank Champi to secure a tie in the closing seconds. Champi also' returns, along with speedy half- back Ray Hornblower, end Bruce Freeman and tackles Fritz Reed and Bob Dowd. Stalwarts Rick Frisbie at cor- nerback and John Cramer at line- IVY YEAGUE 1968 Conference Standings Harvard 6 0 1 Yale 6 0 1 Pennsylvania 5 2 0 Princeton 4 3 0 Dartmouth 3 4 0 Columbia 2 5 0 Cornell 1 6 0 Brown 0 7 0 backer should provide enough backbone for the defense so that the offense can stay within reach of most opponents. Princeton's new coach, Jake McCandless, will expend most of his efforts reorganizing the old fashioned single wing offense that has been a tradition at Princeton ever since football began there. Meanwhile he must rely on an ex- perienced defensive platoon to hold off the opposition. Dartmouth, which was plagued by injuries last season, is expected to be on the rebound. Standouts on Coach Bob Blackman's defen- sively minded squad include mid- dle guard Larry Killgallon and defensive end Ernie Babcock. Yale's fine 1968 squad has been ravaged by graduation. Nine start- ers are going on defense and five on offense. Most sorely missed will be all -everything quarterback Bi'ian Dowling wxho was drafted by the Minesota Vikings. Coach Carmen Cozza says. "I don't see how we can be picked to finish in the first division." Brown's Coach Len Jardine is counting on sophomores to pull the team through. It seems un- likely that the Bruins will improve much over last year's 2-7 record. Cornell's Coach, Jack Musick plans a big shakeup among veter- an personnel. Unless things settle quickly, the Big Reds may not get off the ground this year. Finally. Columbia's Marty Dom- res has graduated and left Colum- bia in a very weak position. Since they have no running game they must rely on the passing of sopho- more quarterbacks to improve on last year's 2-7 record. -Associated Press JERRY GROTE, Met catcher, beats out a dropped third strike in yesterday's victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Manuel Conde, one of the coun- try's most famous bullfighters, said he had nothing personal against Miss Edith Evans, a 25- year-old horse bullfighter from San Antonio, Tex. "I simply resent her invasion in a domain which traditionally was reserved to men, he said. Conde explained he quit from his position because the union granted Miss Evans equal rights to Portuguese professional fight- ers despite his opposition. { 1 1 Union president resigns in protest over lady bullfightei *1 GRADUATE ASSEMBLY First Meeting of Fall Term All Interested Graduate Students Urged to Attend Wednesday, Sept. 10 By PIL HERTZ One of the major arguments in favor of installing Tartan Turi at Michigan Stadium and in Ferry Field was that it would result in a reduction of injuries. particularly to the knee. Michigan has mistalled Tartan Turf. but instead of less injuries there have been more disabilities. Lindsay McLean. the Wolverines head trainer, contacted yesterday refused to put the blame on the new turf. "It's probably just been a case of bad luck: for example, the injury to Phil Seymour (All- Big Ten defensive end ib 1968 could have occurr'ted on a basket- ball courlt or ani ice rin~k. In addition to Seymour others on the injured list include soph- omore tailback Bill Taylor, who will be out for a couple weeks. senior center Pete Sarantos. who has a nerve injury in the lower leg. and quarterback Jim Betts and tailback Glenn Doughty, both of whom will be back in a couple of days x McLean did say that he was not convinced the Tartan Turf will reduce injuries. The Wolverine trainer added there have been re- ports that artifical turf will reduce injuries but said there is not enough evidence to establish the reports. Generally the theory behind the reduction in knee disabilities goes like this: the more grab the more pressure, the more joint injuries' in the lower extremities: therefore if there is less traction on arti- ficial turf, there will be less knee injuries. The theory h a s been compli- cated by the presence of two dif- ferent types of artifical turf. Mc- Lean points out. "You have to evaluate the turf. Tartan Turf is completely different from Astro Turf. They're even colored differ- ently, amd there's no way of tell- ing if one is better or worse" McLean said that some reports indicated that Astro T u r f had less traction than Tartan Turf, and if this was so, there would be less injuries on the Astro Turf. The Wolverine trainer also said the Tartan Turf had produced two other difficulties. One being that with less traction players will be moving facter and collisions will te n d to occur at faster speeds than in the past. Another trouble spot has been the elbow where a plethora of burns due to the turf have appeared. McLean said that elbow pads were being used in or- der to cut down on the burns. According to McLean fears about changes in playing condi- tions when the Turf is wet appear to be unfounded. McLean said there was little difference between wet Tartan Turf and wet regular grass. McLean also said that shoes will not be a problem since "any shoe will work." The Wolverine trainer also said that short cleats appear to be more efficient except during the rain when regular cleats are preferrable. Despite the fact that the Tartan Turf may not cut down on knee injuries, McLean is enthused about the artificial grass. He said, "I like the even uniform surface, it means no sprained ankles due to stepping in holes." McLean also said that the fact that the turf is just as hard in September as in November may be an advantage, since the players will not have to adjust to changes in season. TONIGHT!
