FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1966 H~E MICHIGAN DAILY !!, 04 lie '"'wrim . . a .tea ate. + aav+a.a Va#.F1 YLl1L1 PAGE NINE Weather Threatens 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 uct had two hits and knocked in Coach Miller.

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, grabbed a second place while Can- amare, captain of the Wolverine indermen, placed fourthin the ple vault. With a performance last week, 14" off his fine vault of 15'8" in the NCAA indoors, Canamare will be out to prove 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. Former Wolverines Two former Wolverines now competing for the Ann Arbor Track Club, Ernst Soudak and Kent Bernard, are listed as favor- ites in the discus and 220-yard dash, respectively.
