Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILYI Friday, May 24, 1968 Page ~ix THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, May 24, 1968 i 111, 'M' batmen must win to stay in title chase il !Ml CHICAGO (P)-Two former major league stars, Coach Dick Siebert of Minnesota antd Coach Danny Litwhiler of Michigan State, probably will have their teams battling for the Big Ten baseball title tomorrow. Litwhiler's Spartans and Siebert's Go- phers are tied for, first at 12-2 entering the final weekend of the Conference race. However, before meeting in a possible climactic twin bill at Minneapolis tomor- row, Michigan State and Minnesota have doubleheaders today against host Iowa (4-8) and visiting Michigan (9-5) 'respectively. Presumably, the Spartans and Gophers will be battling also tomorrow for a berth in the NCAA's college World Series at Omaha June 10-15. Mathematically, Michigan still is in con- tention. with a brace at Iowa following to- day's twin bill at Minnesota. The Wolverines could wind up with Minnesota and Michigan State in a three-way title tie at 13-5. Litwhiler, one-time infielder for several National League clubs, is on the verge of making true his preseason prediction that Michigan State would win the conference crown. Litwhiler, president of the American As- sociation of College Baseball Coaches, called the Spartans his best team in the last five years because of power, pitching and speed. Siebert, former Philadelphia A's first sacker, took an opposite preconference view of his Gophers. "We just don't shape up as a national contender this time," said Sie- bert, who has piloted five Big Ten cham- pions since 1956. However, the well-balanced Gophers, third in conference batting, pitching and slugging have a presidential election year winning tradition, as well as the home dia- mond advantage going for them against the Spartans. If a title tie results, the Big Ten's NCAA tourney delegate will be determined by this formula: The winner of a game or series between the deadlocked teams shall be selected, or, in any other circumstance, a flip of the coin will decide the NCAA entry. Wisconsin, like Michigan, also has a 9-5 record to share third place. However, the Badgers at best could wind up only 11-5 playing single games Friday and Saturday with invading Northwestern (6-10). Other final round games: today - Indi- ana (4-7) at Illinois (6-8), and dethroned champion Ohio State (5-8) at Purdue (0-12), both ,twin bills. Tomorrow i- Indiana at Purdue, and Ohio State at Illinois, both doubleheaders. * * * ISU prexy nixes blacks Ames, Iowa (M)-The president; of Iowa State University said yes- terday grievances by Negro ath- letes against members of the Cyclone coaching staff apparently result from misunderstandings. "I have never seen any evidence of racial discrimination" by the coaching staff, said Robert Parks. Members of a group knowns as the, Black Students Organization presented a list of grievances to the university's athletic council, a faculty-student group, earlier this week. The Des Moines Register said it learned that the Negroes asked that basketball Coach Glen An- derspn, baseball Coach Cap Timm and trainer Bob Billings be fired unless they "have a change of attitude." University officials and mem- bers-of the Negro organization re- fused to confirm or deny the Register story. "I am sure that the athletic council will be able to clear up any misunderstandings that may exist," said Parks. He said the council would give the grievances serious consideration. "I am personally acquainted with our athletic staff." added Parks. "I have known some of them for many years, and I have never seen any evidence whatever of racial discrimination. "I believe that the fine record made by black athletes at Iowa State speaks for itself." University Athletic Director Clay! Stapleton refused to comment. "There will be some statements coming later and until then I will have no statement," he said. In;cense, cazdles, posters, buzttons. jewelry.

APT REMARKS: Giants win balg1ame 5e 'Git them Injuns, Davy' By The Associated Press ATLANTA-Ron Hunt led off the ninth inning with a single and scored on a passed ball as San! Francisco beat Atlanta 5-4 last night and moved to a one-gameI lead in the National League. I The Giants began the day in a virtual tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for first place, but took a one-halrf game lead when Los! Angeles beat the Cards 3-2 in anI afternoon game. Hunt moved to second on Jim. Davenport's sacrifice and took third when Ty Cline grounded out. Then Braves' substitute catcher Marty Martinez, who took over for Joe Torre in the eighth, let one of Cecil Upshaw's pitches get passed him and Hunt raced home. * Torre singled home Hank Aaron in the eighth to tie the score 4-4, after Aaron's triple had scored Tito Francona. Torre's hit was his fourth of the game. He homered in the third. The Giants took a 4-2 lead in the seventh when Cline doubled home Hunt and Davenport scored on Jim Hart's sacrifice fly. Atlanta tied the score 2-2 in the fifth when Sonny Jackson scored on a doubleplay ball. The Giants swept to a 2-0 lead in the third when Dick Dietz doubled home two unearned runs after a two-out fielding error by Deron Johnson. * * ST. LOUIS-Bob Bailey's sin- gle scored Willie Davis with two out in the eleventh inning and gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3-2 victory over St. Louis yester- day. The setback was the Cards' sev- enth in their last eight games and dropped them out of first place in the National League. The San Francisco Giants moved into a one-game lead by defeating At- lanta later in the day. With the score tied 2-2, Davis opened the eleventh with a double on which Ed Epiezie missed a div- ing attempt. Lem Gabrielson's sac- rifice moved Davis to third. Ron Fairly was intentionally walked and Tom Haller fouled out for the second out. Bailey then lashed his single to center off reliever Dick Hughes and Davis raced home. Manager Walt Alston of the Dodgers used an unusual strategy to protect his lead. With the ty- ing run on second base and two out in the Cards' eleventh, he! ordered Orlando Cepeda inten- tionally walked, putting the po- tential winning run on base. daily M sports NIGHT EDITOR FRED LABOUR URINE SAMPLES TICKLE NEW YORK STUDIO SCHOOL of drawing, painting and sculpture An intensely concentrated working environment created by artists and students.
