The Ohio ball team has had an even more successful rec- ord than the 7-4 of the Wolver- ines. They took five of seven down south as well as a double- header from Cincinnati last Sat- urday. Bowling Green returns this year with virtually the same team it had last year. Six of those' com- ing back hit over .300 last year, with two well over .400. The backbone of the Falcon squad is their third baseman, Ted Rose. He led the team in every batting department last season, and is continuing to do so this year, carrying a .368 average with four RBI's in the five games he's been in. But the Ohioans may be lack- ing in their pitching department. Their coach, Dick Young, explain- ed, "We will have to leave three of our starting pitchers at home. Two are out with injured should- ers, and the third one-well, he's3 student teaching and can't make the trip." Their starting pitcher should be Bill Becker, who has a 1-0 record with a 1.29 ERA. He also wields a mean wedge, currently swatting at .250. Michigan's pitching this year is very strong. and the Wolverines will be using two or three pitch- ers. The starting pitcher, accord- ing to Coach Moby Benedict, "will probably be Geoff Zahn." He is planning on substituting both Joe Kerr and Bill Zepp. Coach Benedict has also decided to use Bud Forsythe as the Wol- verines' shortstop. Bowling Green's Coach Young isn't sure who'll be starting in many of the positions, though all of the starters from last year are returning. He has been splitting the catching chores between Eric Zinmeister and Roger Doty. Zin- meister has been hitting a hefty .333 while Doty has a respectable .250. First Sack The first base spot is being held down by Jim Barry, a soph- omore and one of the new faces has played in all of Bowling Gre has played in all of Bowling Green's contests this year, his batting average is an anemic .179. Another spot up for grabs is second base. Returning is Warren Baird, but his job is being dis- puted by sophomore Jim Bussman. Coach Young has been alternat- year's .176.

THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS presents MR. KENNETH MILLS, speaking on EXHAUST EMISSIONS I TED ROSE SPORTS SHORTS: rHo,. Hum ! Ali's at It Again By The Associated Press NEW YORK--Cassius Clay will defend his heavyweight boxing title against former champion Floyd Patterson in Las Vegas, Neg., April 25, it was learned last night. An authoritative source said ne- gotiations fell through for a De- troit promotion of the bout and that the Clay people decided to take it to Las Vegas, where the champion stopped6Patterson in 12 rounds Nov. 22, 1965. According to the source, the fight will be shown on closed- circuit television in the United States and Canada, and will be beamed overseas via satellites to Japan and parts of Europe. Clay humiliated Patterson, who twice held the heavyweight crown, in their first meeting at Las Ve- gas and later admitted in a tele- cast he carried Floyd. Patterson complained after the fight that he had been hampered by a sore back. It will be the 10th title defense for the unbeaten Clay and the eighth time he has put his crown on the line in the last 13 months. In his last defense Clay, or Mu- hammed Ali as he prefers, knock- ed out Zora Folley in the seventh round at New York's Madison Square Garden March 22. Lions Sign Farr DETROIT - The Detroit Lions announced the signings of their top two draft choices-UCLA's Mel Farr and Lem Barney of Jack- son Miss. State-to National Foot- ball League contracts yesterday. Coach Joe Schmidt introduced the two players at a press con- ference. As customary, the Lions declin- ed to divulge contract terms: * s * Yanks Get Kennedy FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The New York Yankees acquired John Kennedy from the Los An- geles Dodgers for two minor league players and cash yesterday and immediately made him their start- ing shortstop. The Dodgers received right- hander Jack Cullen and first base- man-outfielder John Miller, about $25,000 and the loan of outfielder- infielder Roy White for their Spokane farm club for one year. White, who hit .225 for the Yankees last season, remains Yankee property on option. Kennedy, a utility man with the Dodgers, replaces Ruben Amaro at shortstop. * *, * Never on Sunday The Big Ten voted down a pro- posal to play Sunday baseball games at its annual meeting last December. The Snday afternoon contests would have been held as make-ups for Saturday afternoon rain-outs. The conference also turned down a motion that would have required a team to play at least half its 16 scheduled Big Ten games in order to qualify for the conference title. GEOFF ZAHN 1042 EE 7:30 P.M. I Disorganized 'Crossers Lose to Spartans, 9-3 WED., APRIL 5 EVERYONE WELCOME By STEVEN RAPHAEL t Though many Michigan sports fans were unaware of it, one of the athletic world's better battles took place Sunday, as the lacrosse team from Michigan State in- vaded, and conquered, their club counterparts from Michigan to the tune of 9-3. The melee at times seemed to be each man for himself, as the green Statesmen undiplomatically scored three goals in the first five min- utes of play. The battle song of "The Victors" seemed like wishful thinking at times, for, though the Wolverine club was full of spirit, organization was in short supply. Near the end of the first quar- ter, however, the Blue suddenly caught fire and scored twice with- in thirty seconds. But the flame was short-lived, as Michigan State scored twice in the second quarter, to grab a 5-2 half-time lead. Not Enough The ten-minute truce seemed all too short for a club trying to en- dure the assaults of State's well- coached squad. The two hundred fans on hand seemed to under- stand that varsity status will not come without a winning record, while a winning record will not come without proper coaches. The players, meanwhile, displayed the ability and desire in a demanding, eye-blurring sport which combines the wildest parts of hockey, foot- UNION I ball, and streetfighting; yet win- ning comes only with proper coaching. Goalie-coach Bob Di Giovanni pleaded for more teamwork on the part of his Blue squad as the sec- ond half opened, but State began by chalking up two more in short order. Suddenly Di Giovanni went into single punt formation, being chased by three Green attachmen as he ran to midfield after an ex- cellent save. Only in lacrosse is it possible to see a goalie elect to scramble when his defense col- lapses, but there's usually a reason. Foul! And there was. Bill Fleischman, co-coach and former All-American from Rutgers, was lying on the ground, felled by an illegal State slash. As he staggered to his feet, unsure of the location to the bench, he received the standard applause of the fallen hero. But Fleischman wanted no help. "I don't need a doctor," he yelled. "Just get me my stick!" State closed out play by scoring twice more in the final minute. The Blue were not done though, scoring one, too. A referee, how- ever, credited a Michigan player with the assist. And so it went in this, the final game of the Michigan Invitational. The Crossers next match will be on Friday, as they engage Bowling Green at Ferry Field. -I l 1 .i "," for you a rewarding career as airli e stewardes S We invite you to apply for a stewardess position with North Central Airlines.
