Blair smacked a 2-2 pitch into the left field bleachers leading off against loser Tom Timmerman. Two walks followed, but Timmer- man eased out of the jam. The only other Baltimore hit was a third inning single by Mark Belanger. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: FRANK LONGO more sports, page nine Los Angeles 'batted around in the second, chasing southpaw George Stone, 0-2, for the second time in four nights. Chris Canniz- zaro started it with a single to center and Osteen and Maury Wills each beat out bunt singles to load the bases. Dobson, posting his second straight victory, allowed singles by Aurelio Rodriguez in the first and fourth innings and an infield hit by Timmerman in the sixth. The only Detroit runner to ad- vance beyond first base was Norm Cash, who raced to second with two outs in the seventh when his grounder went through first base- man Boog Powell's legs for an error. Dobson faced only 30 batters on a cold, windy night. The game was played with temperatures in the low 50s and the wind blowing at 17 miles an hour. Braves bounced ATLANTA - Los Angeles ex- ploded for six runs on seven con- secutive second-inning singles and Claude Osteen hurled a seven- hitter as the Dodgers smashed Atlanta 11-1 last night, sweeping their four-game series.

Sanguillen drove in the Pirates' first run in the second inning with a single up the middle after Richie Hebner led the inning off with a double. In the third, he capped a two- run inning with a single after the Cubs set up both with errors by Don Kessinger and Glenn Beckert. The Cubs, who scored a run in the first on a single by rookie Bill North, an infield out and a double by Joe Pepitone, tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth on Ron Santo's first homer of the season after Billy Williams singled.

King named Nelmen face toughest challenge winner of By GEORGE HASTINGS While most University stu- dents will be finishing up the semester and deserting Ann Ar- bor within the next' few days, the Michigan tennis team is just warming up in pursuit of, its 1972 goals: a fifth straight Big Ten titles and recognition as one of the top teams in the country. The netters face their biggest obstacles to those goals when they take on Indiana this afternoon on the Hoosiers' home courts. The Wolverines may be the established number one tennis power in the Midwest, but nuitn- ber two Indiana has been try- ing harder lately. The Hoosiers, like the Wolverines, are unde- feated so far this year in con- ference play, with no opponent winning more than two matches against them. Indiana, which continued a habit last year by finishing sec- ond to Michigan, has five of its top six men from last year back, and has two fine freshmen who have cracked the lineup. They are the only team which to date has shown the potential to de- feat the Wolverines in the Big Ten.. Wolverine coach Brian Eisner recognizes the importance of the meet. "Without a doubt," he says, "this is by far the big- gest individual meet we will play this year." 'The winner of today's meet will probably go into the Big Ten tournament in mid-May with a lead in the race for the crown. Today's meet will feature some interesting match-ups, es- pecially at first and second sin- gles. At first singles,' defending Big Ten champ Joel Ross of Michigan will be up against his biggest nemesis of last year, Mark Bishop, who beat Ross twice last year in close matches. At number two, freshmen 'Jeff Miller of the Wolverines and Doug Sullivan of the Hoos- iers will battle it out. The match will feature the hard-hitting and power service game of the Michigan frosh against the quickness and scrappiness of the Indiana man. Two more freshmen, Michi- gan's Jerry Karzen and Indi- ana's Steve Kendall will go at it in the number five singles, while experienced players will com- pete for both sides in the three, four and six spots. Dick Ravre- by, Tim Ott, and Kevin Sen- nich will man those three posts respectively, for Michigan. while the Hoosiers will counter with Walt Herrick, Tom Snyder, and Tom Dunker. Should the Wolverines come up with a decisive win today, they will be well on their way to their eleventh conference crown in the last thirteen years, and it will be no surprise to anyone. This year's group is much im- proved over last year's team, which took five of the nine sin- gles and doubles , titles and walked off fairly easily with the Big Ten championship. Beyond today's contest, the rest of the Wolverines' Big Ten schedule is not overly challeng- ing. Illinois and Northwestern are decent and could conceivab- ly give the Michigan men a few worries, but it's not likely. The netmen may have a tough at home this Sunday, when they entertain Southern Illinois, one of the best independents in the midwest. After this weekend, the Wol- verines will be pointing to the Big Ten Tournament, May 12-14 at Wisconsin. The Big Ten win- ner is determined on a point basis, with the tournament it- self counting about equally with all the dual meets combined. In other words, the team that goes into the tournament having won more individual singles and dou- bles matches over the course of the dual meet season, will have a lead, but will still have to do well in the tournament to be- come Big Ten champ. Right now, it looks as if the balanced and deep Michigan squad could easily match or im- prove upon their total of five tournament titles gained last year. Eisner believes that all six of his singles players and all three doubles teams will be serious contenders for Big Ten crowns. He points out that his players have taken 27 of the 29 matches in the three Big Ten dual meets to date. Ross, who took the confer- ence singles title in 1971, is the favorite to retain it, and in Eisner's words, "is playing bet- ter than he did last year." At number two, Miller is a player who for almost any other team in the midwest would be playing number one. Ravreby failed to take the number three title last year, but with a year's experience he will be a threat to do so in 1972. while Ott, Eisner's second sin- gles man last season, is going to be hard to beat at number four. Karzen and Sennich at five and six are also players who are almost too good for their flights, and will be real contenders for individual crowns. The three Wolverine doubles teams, Ross and Ravreby at one, Karzen and Sennich at two, and Ott and Miller at three, are all unbeaten as yet in the Big Ten, and Michigan will threaten for all three titles. After the Big Ten meet, one more goal lies ahead for the Wolverine netmen: to finish in the top ten in the NCAA meet. Despite dominatingethe mid- west, no Michigan team in re- cent times has been able to break into the domination of the warmweather schools of the south and far west. Eisner thinks that this is the year his team can finally hurdle into national prominence. Out- side of the top three or four (Trinity, Southern Cal, Stanford, and UCLA), "we stack up with any team in the country," he says. Currently, the Wolverines are 14th ranked, the only mid- west team in the top 20. Keen award Michigan wrestling captain Mark King has been voted the 1972 recipient of the Cliff Keen Award. Wolverine mat coach Rick Bay made the announcement yes- terday. The award is named after the former great Michigan coach The trophy is presented annual- ly to the senior wrestler who, in the judgement of his teammates and coaches, best demonstrates the leadership qualities exempli- fied by Coach Keen. King, a native of DeKalb, Illi- nois, was hobbled by injuries most of the season and was able to wrestle only nine matches. How- ever, according to Bay, "Mark provided outstanding leadership for this squad, despite his own problems. He is a tremendous in- dividual and is certainly deserving of this honor."
