Season
Opener
By JOHN SUTKUS
The immortal bard once said,
"Mother Nature careth not for
the wiles" of man: She'll run him
ragged where e'er she can."
Or, translated into the meta-
phors of a Michigan baseball fan
eagerly awaiting the debut of the
1966 Wolverines, "The third base-
man -may need snowshoes instead
' of spikes to play today."
It'slike this: there is one base-
ball game scheduled at 3:30 this
afternoon on Ferry Field between
the University of Detroit and
Michigan. Notice, that word
"scheduled."
Two of the participants in the
eternal triangle that characterizes
baseball are ready and willing to
go. The Wolverines are fresh from
one of their most successful spring
trips in history. The Titans rang
in their 1966 baseball season Tues-
day by sneaking past the Univer-
sity of Toledo 9-7 in the windy,
snowy City of Glass.
Defies Odds
But the third member in the
triumverate, Mother Nature, has
defied all the bookies (both Las
Vegas and Weather Bureau types)
by throwing spring out the win-
dow and turning April showers
into April flurries. Who knows
what May flowers will bring?
Cindermen To Meet
First. Outdoor Test
The grand old lady has strut-
ted in fine style all week, saving
some of the worst for yesterday.
And the meteorological prognosti-
cations for today are for much
of the same.
"It looks pretty bad," says Dick
Honig, assistant Michigan baseball
coach. "The field is in sad shape
and the weather is so bad that it
looks like we'll have to call it off.
We don't want to come up with
any hurt arms or legs."
The same goes for the sched-
uled doubleheader with the Mich-
igan freshmen tomorrow after-
noon. "These aren't as important
as the Detroit game," adds Honig.
The snow and cold may very
well delay the Wolverines' Ann Ar-
bor opener for a week. But .
"The final decision, won't be
made until a few hours before the
game," concludes the assistant
coach.
Up to Mother Nature
If the sky happens to fall in
today, and Mother Nature turns
out one of her more notable spring
like efforts, there could be a base-
ball game today at Ferry Field.
In that event, Detroit's Titans
will come to town showing some
flashy hitting and a powerful of-
fense. But, even in head Coach
Bob Miller's mind, the pitching
and defense will be the question
marks for this season.
Last year's Titans finished with
a 24-6 record and were rated the
best college nine in Michigan by
sometsources. The 1965 U-D squad
led the nation's major college
teams in runs scored, averaging
8.77 markers per game. A team
batting average of .311, third high-
est in the nation, helped push
across those runs.
Boppers
This year's U-Drdiamond crew
will have much the same in the
an experienced man returning at
nearly every position. Leading a
parade of five .300 hitters is sec-
ond baseman Tom Engel, who bop-
ped the horsehide at a .341 clip
last year. He was the big gun in
Tuesday's Toledo game, with a
three-for-four performance, scor-
ing two runs.
Two other veteran infielders re-
turn. Tom Siedlaczak will handle
third base and Carlos Guerra will
start at shortstop. Sophomore first

The bluegrass country of Ken-
tucky relied solely on the speed of
its thoroughbred horses and a
racetrack by the name of Churchill
Downs to amuse the local inhabi-
* tants until three years ago.
Variety is the spice of life
though, and the track coach at
Kentucky decided that it might be
nice to watch something a little
less flea-bitten put on contests
against the stopwatch. Thus the
inception of the Kentucky Relays,
which will provide the Wolverine
cindermen with their first crack
at the outdoors for 1966.
Shaping up as the top dual of
the meetis a battle between Al
Carius and Hylike Van Der Wal
in the 3000-meter steeplechase.
The pair turned in top times in
the event during the indoorsea-
son, .and on the basis of their ear-
lier performances, Van Der Wal
is rated the odds-on favorite, al-
though the $2 windows won't be
in action.
Recotds in Peril
The event on Saturday is ex-
pected to yield a new record, one
of the 18 which are in danger of
being eclipsed by the strongest
field ever to venture onto the
Lexington cinders.
Michigan's Jack Harvey and
George Canamare rate the best
chance of walking away with vic-
tories. They get a week's jump on
their teammates last weekend
when the duo ventured deep into
Dixie to compete in the South
Cai-olina Relays.
yHarvey.who handles the shot
like it was made of balsa wood,

amare, captain of the Wolverine
indermen, placed fourthin the

76ers Hold on
To Top Celtics
By The Associated Press
The Philadelphia 76ers, after
blowing a 24-point lead, came alive
i in the closing minutes to defeat
Boston 1114105 in the National
Basketball Association's Eastern
finals last night.
The Celtics now lead 2-1 in the
best-of-7 series with the next game
Sunday in Boston.
For the better part of the first
half, with Wilt Chamberlain and
Lucious Jackson leading both the
offense and defense, the 76ers al-
most swept the Celtics off the
boards. With 5:06 left, they led by
24 and couldn't do anything
wrong.
But that's when the roof caved
in as- Boston founds its eye and
Philadelphia seemed to go blind
Before the half ended, the lead
had been chopped down to 10.
The Celtics continued to close
the gap in the second half. It
was a see-saw battle through over
half of...the. quarter, with Boston
cutting the edge to one.
It was here that Chamberlain
and Greer got hot, collecting be-
tween them the next seven Phila-
delphia 'points to put the game
out of Boston's reach.
that a hardwood runaway is not
essential for a fine performance.

Two former Wolverines now
competing for the Ann Arbor

Kent Bernard, are listed as favor-

dash, respectively. Both were par-
ticipants at the 1964 Olympics in
