4 WILCOX HA UNTS OLD TEA MMA TES The MichiganDaily-Thursday, September 13, 1979-Page 9 i Tribe surrender By MARK MIHANOVIC Special to The Daily DETROIT - . . . and he will come back to haunt you." Milt Wilcox has done just that twice this year to his ex- team, the Cleveland Indians. Last night, Wilcox pitched eight masterful - innings for the Bengals, allowing only one run on four hits for a 4-1 victory, improving his record to 12-7. Wilcox was never in serious trouble, the lone Cleveland run coming on Ron Hassey's third homer of the season in the seventh, a' towering blast into the upper deck in right field. HE HAD PITCHED out of a slight jam beginning the fourth when Mike Hargrove led off the Indians' half of the inning with a booming triple to center field. After Jimi Norris popped to shallow center and Bobby Bonds struck out, however, Alan Trammell made a brilliant play in the field, stabbing a Toby Harrah one-hopper deep in the hole at short and throwing the Indian out by a hair to end the inning. Detroit got all the scoring they needed with two runs in the fourth in- ning. Trammell and Jerry Morales hit back-to-back doubles, and after John Wockenfuss bounced weakly to Cleveland starter Rick Waits (14-13), s to Tige Lance Parrish lashed the third two- bagger of the inning for the second run. THE TIGERS added two insurance runs in the eighth when Dave Stegman reached first on an error and Ron LeFlore extended his hitting streak to Yazgetsh30001 as, Bosox roll,92 By The Associated Press BOSTON - Carl Yastrzemski reached the 3,000-hit plateau last night with an eighth-inning single and Chuck Rainey pitched a six-hitter as the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees, 9-2. Yastrzemski walked, flied out deep to right and grounded out twice before lashing his historic base hit to right field off reliever Jim Beattie. Before his ground ball shot into right field past the glove of second baseman Willie Randolph; the Red Sox veteran had been hitless in 11 at-bats since collecting his 2,999th Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. Yastrzemski thus became the first American League player to reach the 3,000-hit, AOOhome run plateaus in his career. Only three other major leaguers have done it, all Hall of Famers from the National League - Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Stan Musial. Rainey, 6-5, allowed a Yankee run in the second and one in the eighth, but the Red Sox pounded Catfish Hunter, (2-9) for seven runs on nine hits before he left in the fifth inning. Jim Rice belted his 37th homer in the first inning, a two-run shot, to get the Red Sox off to a fast start. Boston scored three runs in the fifth on eight hits, including RBI singles by Tom Poquette, Mike O'Berry and Rick Burleson. Hunter, in his final Fenway Park appearnce, was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 34,337 when he left the game and the veteran right- hander emerged from the dugout to tip his cap., rs, 4-1 r 11 games with a ground-rule double to lead off the inning. Steve Kemp then drilled a sacrifice fly deep to center- field for his 102nd RBI, and Wockenfuss followed suit with another sacrifice fly to stretch the Tiger lead to 4-1. Aurelio Lopez came on in the ninth for Detroit to finish the job, but the In- dians made it tough. Harrah -drew a walk off Lopez with one out. Andre Thornton then popped out to left field for the second out, but Cliff Johnson walked to bri Hassey up to the plate as the tying ru . Hassey wasn't up to being a hero twice, however, and he grounded out to shortstop to end the game. THE TIGERS' ,victory improved their record to 78-68 and moved them 3 games ahead 'of Cleveland in the battle for fifth place. Detroit moved to within two games of the fourth-place Yankees, who lost to Boston. The Tigers evened their season series with the Tribe at six games apiece. Tonight Jack Morris (13-7) will try to make it a three-game sweep for Detroit against Cleveland's Rick Wise (15-7).

After waiting three years before ear- ning a starting berth for the Wolverines in 1978, Giesler is back in the waiting game in Miami where he was a sur- future," Giesler said. "I'm happy with the way things are going." Although Giesler is not starting in the offensive line he is on two special team units. Giesler has not lined up on offen- se in a regular season game yet (The Dolphins are 2-0 in a pair of squeakers) but he did play at least half of the games during the four-game exhibition season. "Nobody likes to sit on the bench. I'd like to play, but I think I need more ex- perience. The first year is basically a learning process," said Giesler. THE 6-4, 255-pound rookie added, "If I have to move into a starting position, I hope I'm ready for it. I think I'm moving along pretty well." Giesler has been working out with Miami for over two months since rookie camp opened July 8. "It started out pretty hard, but I think I'm starting to pick it up," Giesler said, "and I hope I continue to get better. "The biggest difference is a differen- ce in blocking technique. In the pros you're allowed to use your hands in pass blocking. The defensive ends are a lot faster in the NFL also." GIESLER SAYS he believes that the winning he experienced at Michigan will continue under Don Shula at Miami. "The coaching staff and a lot of players are enthusiastic that we can go all the way this year. I think we have the personnel." The Dolphins earned a wild-card ber- th in the playoffs last season and since then they have added Larry Csonka to their offensive attack. But hopefully for Giesler, another Michigan tradition will not follow him to Miami. This year's Super Bowl is being played in Pasadena's Rose Bowl. By ARTHUR J. REGNER In 1940 Warner Brothers made a film entitled "Knute Rockne-All American." As Hollywood is notorious for doing; it created, in that picture, another of its great cliches. When star Pat O'Brien turned to the Fighting Irish and said, "Men, let's win this one for the Gipper," he echoed the words of Rockne and immortalized Notre Dame's All-American halfback George Gipp. "The Gipper was a complex charac- ter," states Chet Grant, Gipp's former teammate; "he was older than most of us, and football didn't really mean that much to George." Gipper spent much of his free time in bar rooms and billiard parlors. When Notre Dame authorities found out how much of his spare time was spent in these "dens of decadence," he was promptly expelled. Upon his dismissal from Notre Dame, Gipp signed a con- tract with Indianapolis of baseball's American Association. At the end of the baseball season, Rockne offered him a job as an assistant coach-something he im- mediately accepted. It was also at Rockne's urging that officials agreed to readmit Gipp if he passed a special examination. "You have to remember that Gipp drove a cab for four years after high school. He did not go straight to college," stressed Grant. "He was a returned punts and kickoffs for 112 yar- ds. George Gipp was Notre Dame's first first-team All-American. He scored 21 TD's, had a career rushing record of The world according to Gipp: "You have to remember that Gipp drove a cab for four years after high school. He did not go straight to college . .. he was a man and did what men liked to do. He was older than most of us, and football didn't really'nean that much to him." -Chet Grant, a former teammate, of George Gipp )to 'r "a e gen- Tragedy also struck the Gipper, during his incredible 1920 season. Hey caught strep throat but insisted ors going to the Northwestern game where he sparkled in the Irish victory. His condition developed into pneumonia- causing hospitalization. Three hour'S before his death, Gipp told Rockne, acs cording to legend: "Sometime, whey; the boys are up against it and the; pressure's really on Notre Dame, tell them to win one for the Gipper!" Eight years later when the Irish werer heading into ;a- confrontation with 41 powerful .Army squad, Rockne repeated the words of George Gipp. The: speech inspired the Irish to play one oC their best games ever, and they defeated Army 12 to 6, which in those days was a major upset. - "I'm sure that it did happen, Roci telling his men to win one for George;" says Grant. "It's consistent with the way Rock was-knute was a com. petitive sentimental man, and the Gip per was his pride and joy." So this Saturday in Michigan; Stadium, another Notre Dame team has its back to the wall. Who know what present Irish Coach Dan Devin will say to fire up his troops.But maybe we should remember that history hasa tendency to repeat itself. Jon Giesler prising first-round draft pick by the Dolphins this spring. At Michigan Giesler played in the shadows of Bill Dufek, Mike Kenn and company before he finally shined in his senior season, earning All-Big Ten honors. But Giesler is having a tough time breaking into the Dolphins' veteran line. Ahead of the Woodville, Ohio native are Bob Kuchenberg and -Mike Kern, both of whom are in their 30's. "I THINK I was picked because the Dolphins wanted to make sure they had young offensive linemen for the man and did what men like to do. When he had to take that special exam to get back into school, he passed it with flying colors," Grant continued. During the 1920 season, "The Gipper" became the most feared player in the game. On October 20, he had the greatest game of his career. He rushed for 124 yards, passed for another 96 and 2,341 yards (ranked second on -Notre Dame's all-time list) and still leads the Fighting Irish in games gaining 100 yards or more for a single season with five games. The Gipper played in 32 consecutive games and is the single most famous athlete in Notre Dame history. He has been called the most versatile back of all time.

The reason for the enormous demand for the drug, alleges the report, is due to a local phenomena called Gridde Picks. "It is obvious to this in- vestigative commission," says the report, "that the strain of having to have their Gridde Picks in by midnight Friday to 420 Maynard every week is ,more than the average person can han- dle. Many, therefore, turn to the coffee- like drug for extra energy." The commission's report does end on a somewhat optimistic note. "Many users have stopped taking Zoom after winning a small one item pizza from Pizza Bob's, the prize for picking the 'most winners," concludes the report. So don't forget to 'zoom' your picks into 420 Maynard by midnight Friday for your chance to munch a free pie. 1. Notre Dame at MICHIGAN (pick score) 2. Ohio State at Minnesota 3.
