PAGE SIX THE MICHIGANDAILY PAGE SIX TIH~ MJCHIE~AN DAILY '" r"INLIOIAI., fir, Irish Blast Wolverine Nine, 9-3 By GIL SAMBERG And the rains came . . . but about an hour too late. Even before the drops came the Wolverines were swamped, how- ever, as Notre Dame took an easy 9-3 decision here yesterday. The Irish severed a four game Michigan winning streak and put its season's record at 9-11. Starter Carl Welch's ERA be- gan to soar soon after he came to the mound. Almost immediate- ly came a single file procession of Irish baserunners, starting with two singles up the middle, a sacri- fice bunt, and a wild pitch. Then followed a single to deep short, a solid double between Earl Meyers and Ron Tate in left and center, and a line single into left. Fin- ally a double play squelched the fire. In the end there were four runs and five hits on the score- board. When sophomore Welch finally left the game in the third he was responsible for five runs and six, hits, although his curves broke sharply. Bobel Comes In Reliever Jim Bobel worked the next five innings and allowed three., runs, all in the seventh. After Irish pitcher Frank Karazim sin- gled, and second baseman Al Kris- towski walked, Rich Goni'ki clout- ed a 355-foot opposite field home run just out of right fielder Bob Gilhooley's reach. Gonski, the Notre Dame short- stop who hit .358 last year, add- ed the winner's only other run in the ninth on another homer, this time to straightaway left. He finished the game with four RBI's, four runs scored, and four hits. Although they were drubbed, the. Wolverines almost came up with the defensive play of the game. With Gonski up in the seventh (just before he hit his first four bagger) catcher Ted Sizemore caught Irish pitcher Kar- azim just a little too far off of second base and. made a quick but h'w throw-down. Base umpire Jack Solomon, in trying to steer clear of the ball, ducked right into it and became part of the play, almost getting an assist, as second baseman Tom Laslo nearly made the putout when the ball caromed off of the man in blue's back. Weak Offense As for the Michigan nine, they were blanked on all offensive de- partments by the strong pitching of Karazim until the seventh in- ning. Then his shut-out, no-hit- ter was broken as Earl Meyers slammed a liner to third which Tom Blythe knocked down but could not complete the play on. Then sophomore Chard Simonds slashed a solid triple down the right field line. George Skaff fol- lowed with a sacrifice fly to left, which was slightly misjudged and almost dropped by John Musto, nd Simonds crossed the plate for the second tally. When Tom Laslo lined a single solidly up the middle and Al Bara, batting for Bobel, dropped in a Texas leaguer, Notre Dame Coach Jake Clyne, gave reliever Levin O'Neill the nod and Kara- zim went in for a shower. Long Out Bob Gilhooley greeted the right hander with a long fly which the Irish left fielder caught about 15 feet from the fence. Third base- man Blythe ended the threat by turning an apparent base hit into a force out at the hot corner. Michigan scored again in the ninth when Laslo singled again, this time between third and short. After Pete Adams struck out bat- ting for Wayne Slusher, who had relieved in the eighth, Bob Gil- hooley lined a single. Ted Size- more sent Laslo home on a dou- ble to left center, but the game ended when Dave Campbell bounc- ed out, short to first. The combined Michigan pitch- ing for the game chalked up eight strikeouts while allowing only three walks. Notre Dame hurlers struck out four and walked three. All of the runs scored wero earn- ed The key to yesterday's loss was weak pitching. Welch was bombed from the start. Bobel was effec- tive for all but one inning in which he too was shellacked. Slusher gave up one hit during his two inning stint, but it was a home run. Moby Benedict's com-' ment; on his pitching was brief and to the point. "Some days you leased yesterday showed a net get it and some days you don't."

Battered Ballplayers Nurse Injured Bodies NEW YORK (AP) - The bad humor man is frowning on the baseball stars. A collection of ills ranging from creaking arms, sore leg muscles and aching backs to ulcers is making life miserable for the athletes. Add up the salaries of the play- ers on the sidelines and it ap- proaches $750,000. Sandy Koufax is the big one, of course. The Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series ace has a strained muscle in his left forearm. No- body is sure just when he will be able to resume earning his $70,000 salary. He is doing a little running JIM BOBEL Soviets Jeopardize U.S. Cage Monopoiy MOSCOW (p)-Is U.S. Olympic basketball supremacy threatened at last? It could be. An American squad with five members of the 1964 Olympic team lost three straight to the Soviet national team here, despite some fine college players, seven men over 6-6 and four teammates - from the AAU cham- pionship club. "We should have risen to the challenge here-there's. no alibi," said Cliff Buck of the AAU, head of the team. He said his team "hasn't played good ball." And he said the Rus- sians are much better than they were three years ago when an American team won eight straight. But, he said, "I feel we can win the championship at the Tokyo Olympics." He said the Americans will have a stronger team at Tok- yo, with more depth and more experience of playing together. Lack Teamwork Buck said in a telephone inter- view from Kiev that one of the problems has been that the U.S. team has not.played together long enough. However, four of the 12 men on the U.S. squad are teammates on the Akron, Ohio, club that won the AAU championship this year. They are Larry Brown, 5-10, Dick Davies, 6-1, Pete McCaffrey, 6-7, and Lloyd Sharrar, 6-10. Davies and Sharrar are 28. Brown, Davies and McCaffrey are members of the 1964 Olmypic team. Jerry Shipp of Bartlesville, Okla., also 28 and 6-6, and Jim Barnes, 23 and 6-8, are the other two Olympic team members on the club. The Soviet national team whip- ped the Americans 82=65, 79-60 and 62-59. The Americans beat a Leningrad local team Sunday, 74- 65 for their first win in Russia. Yesterday a Lativan team topped the U.S. squad 75-61. Buck said his team was in a slump after the long basketball season at home. Suffer Letdown "There was a letdown for these boys after they had reached their peak for the Olympic trials," which ended April 4, he said. Mickey pulled a left hamstring muscle in Sunday's game with Baltimore. He expects to be back in action today. Roger Maris, who gets $62,000 a year, also has a pulled muscle that will keep him out of the Yankee line-up for another week and Tony Kubek, the regular shortstop, hasn't played this sea- son because of a bad back. More Aches and Pains Two Yankee pitchers, Ralph and Bill Stafford, have not ap- peared in a game either. Terry has a sore back and Stafford a tight right shoulder. Orlando Cepeda's mysterious right knee ailment will keep him out of the San Francisco Giants' batting order for two more weeks. After flying to New York for ex- amination, the first baseman is returning to San Francisco for treatment while the Giants are on the road. Pete Ward's chronic back ache has been a severe blow to the Chi- cago White Sox, who miss his bat. Rains Steal Possible Win In Tennis Michigan's tennis match yester- day with Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., was rained out. At the time that the matches were called the Wolverines were winning all of the singles matches. Playing in the singles matches were Harry Fauquier, Karl Hed- rick, Hal Lowe, Brian Flood, Bill Dixon and Jim Swift. At present there are no plans to reschedule the match at a later date because of the crowded sched- ules of both teams. The meet was to be the Wol- verines fourth outdoor match since their southern swing during spring vacation. They stand 3-3 for the season. The Wolverines will journey to Evanston for a quadrangular meet with the Northwestern Wildcats, Minnesota and Purdue this week- end.
