'OFF-COLOR' STEELE STANDS OUT
Sprinter an exception
By MARK FISCHER
Ronn Steele doesn't exactly fit the
mold of a top intercollegiate sprinter.
For one thing, he's white. Besides being
Michigan's only white sprinter, he is
usually the only white to end up in the
finals of each of his four events (the 400
meter relay, and the 60-yard, 100-, and
200-meter dashes).
"In the prelims, the ratio will be
about two (blacks) to one (white),"
said the smiling sophomore. "By the
time it gets down to the finals, I'll be the
only one in there and I'll kind of stand
out."
STEELE DOESN'T mind this
uniqueness, though. "It's been that way
since high school, so I've gotten used to
it. It doesn't bother me at all-it's just
kind of amusing. Like at meets, people
will be yelling out jokes about it. Other
than the fact that I expect this kidding
at meets, being the only white (sprin-
ter) doesn't affect me at all."
But by being what he is-white as
well as very fast-Steele is uninten-
tionally keepng alive somewhat of a
"tradition" which has developed in
Michigan track over the past few years.
Before Steele arrived, Dough Hennigar,
who holds the Michigan 100-meter dash
record, was the only white sprin-
ter-and Hennigar followed
sole white sprinter himse
tradition was brought to Steele
tion by Lenny Paddock, th
team's trainer.
"Once when I was getting
rubbed down, he started telling
every team of the last six ye
has had just one white sprin
how I've taken over Henniga
Lenny has even given me He

NEW YORK - The Milwaukee
Brewers, held without a base runner for
five innings, jumped on Cy Young
Award winner Ron Guidry for four runs
in the sixth yesterday and opened the
season by defeating the world cham-
pion New York Yankees 5-1 behind
Mike Caldwell's eight-hit pitching.
Caldwell, whose 22-9 record a year
ago earned him the runner-up position
in the Cy Young voting behind Guidry's
25-3, allowed a run and three hits - two
of them flukes - in the first inning, but
only two over the next five innings.
Guidry, who had won 37 of 41
decisions since Aug. 10, 1977, did
everything last year except pitch a no-
hitter, and the Yankee Stadium crowd
of 52,719 began to anticipate that - and
perhaps even a perfect game - when
the hard-throwing left-hander retired
the first 16 batters in Milwaukee's
power-packed lineup.

Lynn belted solo shots yesterday,
powering the Boston Red Sox to a 7-1
victory over the Cleveland Indians in
their 1979 American League baseball
opener.
Dennis Eckersley, a 20-game winner
last year waiting to sign a five-year
contract extension worth $2.5 million,
allowed only two hits in seven innings
before reliever Dick Drago took over in
the eighth, allowing one hit the rest of
the way.
Rice, the league's Most Valuable
Player after hitting 46 homers and
driving in 138 runs last year, gave
Eckersley all the cushion needed with
his homer off an upright near the 379-
foot mark in left-center off Cleveland
starter Rick Wise in the third inning.
