Mighty Spiro strikes again
Agnew slices1
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. V/P) - Arnold Palmer,
relaxed and joking, swept into sole control of first
place in the, fourth round of the Bob Hope
Desert golf classic yesterday while Vice Presi-
dent Spiro Agnew did it again, clipping three
spectators.
Agnew, who hit Doug Sanders -in the back of
the head with an errant shot in this tournament a
year ago, smashed one off the toe of his club on
the first tee at the Burmuda Dunes Country Club
and the ball slashed low into the tightly packed
stands.
It hit G. Decker, 66, of Salem, Ore., on the fore-
arm, glanced over and struck Decker's wife on
the arm.
The Vice President apologized profusely, kissed
the woman on the arm and returned to the tee.
And did the same thing all over again.
This time the ball smashed into the left ankle

of Jacqueline Woods, 35, Chatsworth, Calif. She
was taken to the first aid station for emergency
treatment, then to Valley Memorial Hospital in
Indio, Calif., for X-rays.
She was released in satisfactory condition about
an hour later.
The Vice President, playing in a foursome that
included Sanders, Hope and baseball star Willie
Mays, dropped his driver in disgust after the
second shot, ignored the gallery's pleas to try it
again and jumped into a golf cart.
Surrounded by security men, he sped down
the fairway.

Vice President cut out a four-under par 68 on
the Bermuda Dunes Country Club course. That
gave him a 72-hole total of 272, or 16-under-par
in this, the only event on the pro tour that
stretches to 90 holes.

Not even the magical potency of,
Woody Hayes would have helped
the Buckeyes of Ohio State who
were literally outclassed by the
Wolverine gymnasts by the score
of 163.85 to 150.10. It was the ex-
cellent performance by the three,
all arounders, Rick McCurdy, Ray
Gura and Ted Marti, who Coach
Newt Loken proudly termed "a
dedicated threesome", who com-
bined for 160.95 points.
IMcCurdy led the field in all
around competition with his best
score ever, at 54.65 which is 0.55
points better than he had ever com-
piled before. Gura, with a 53.75 and
Marti with his 52.55 were second
and third in that category respec-
tively. The best the Buckeyes could
place was fourth as Reed Klein
posted a 50.55 total.
Loken commented, "Our boys
had some trouble getting up for
this match in light of the compe-
tition we had to face." However, in
every event except the side horse,
the Wolverines easily surpassed
the 27-point plateau.
The pace was set in the very first
event, the free exercise, as Michi-
gan's Gura led all scorers with a
9.25, pacing the Wolverines over
the Buckeyes, 27.4 to 25.85. Gura,
Terry Boys (9.1) and McCurdy
(9.05) all performed more chal-
lenging routines than did the Buck-
eyes who seemed content to score
in the 8-point range, except for all
arounder Jack Leonard, who per-
formed a routine more similar to
that of the Wolverines and mianag-
ed to post a 9.0. His score was the
only 9-point or better for Ohio
State, who failed to hit 26 points
in any of the competitions.
The finest event of the day for
Michigan was the horizontal bars
as they outswung Ohio State 27.8
to 24.4, the highest and lowest event
total for each team respectively.
Ed Howard, who always ends each
meet with a superlative exhibition
did it again as he executed the
hardest routine in this event and
posted an exceptional 9.45.
Not to be discounted were Mc-
Curdy who scored 9.2 and Ted Mar-
ti with a 9.15. Jim Scully, whose
score did not count in the contest
also did a fine job with a 9.0.
The best the Buckeyes could
muster up was a mediocre 8.2 by
Jerry Sowards.
In the long horse, five of the six
Wolverines scored nine-plus points:
McCurdy (9.3), Rusty Pierce
(9.25), Gura (9.15), Marti (9.0) and
Ward Black, whose score did not
enter in to the team competition,
(9.0).
In the parallel bars, it was the
routine by Bill Hudgins that took
the spotlight. In the earlier going
this season, he was having trouble
going through his routine without
some minor flaw, but against the
Buckeyes he was truly superb as lie
earned himself a 9.2, by far his
best ever. With Hudgins setting
the pace, Michigan outscored Ohio
State in that event, 27.3 to 25.05.
In the rings event, the story was
the same as th Wolverines toppled
Ohio State by the score of 27.30 to

RICK McCURDY, Wolverine all-around performer, goes through a side horse routine in an earlier

with an excellent 54.65 point total to help lead the Wolverines to a 163.85-150.10 trouncing of Ohio
State, yesterday.

a 53-point explosion in the second
half.
Illinois, led by Rick Howat's 21
points, suffered its second loss in
six Big Ten games. The Illini are
10-5 and Ohio State 12-5 over all.

Hawks clipped
IOWA CITY - Indiana's John
Ritter converted two free throws
with three seconds left last night
to give the Hoosiers an 86-84
come-from-behind Big Ten Con-
ference victory over Iowa.
Ritter was fouled during a re-
bound scrap under the Indiana
basket. The Hoosiers gained the
ball with 28 seconds to play and
maneuvered for the last shot
which George McGinnis missed
but Ritter rebounded.
McGinnis finished with a game
high 34 points and grabbed 15 re-
bounds as Indiana moved away
from a 45-40 halftime deficit to
run its record to 4-2 in the Big
Ten and 12-4 overall.
Badgers clawed
E V A N S T O N-Northwestern
finally broke through with its first
Big Ten basketball victory of the
season last night by toppling Wis-
consin 101-91.
The victory gave the Wildcats
a 1-6 mark while Wisconsin slump-
ed to 1-5.
Northwestern grabbed a 42-37
halftime lead and remained in
command the second half.
Ron Shoger led the Wildcats
with 22 points while Barry Moran
added 21 and Rick Sund 20. Leon
Howard was high for Wisconsin
with 21 and Clarence Sherrord
added 20 to become the top Badgei}
scorer in history with a total of
1,217 points.

Gophers go
MINNEAPOLIS - The Minne-
sota Gophers, hitting almost 50
per cent of their shots from the
field, scored their first Big Ten
basketball victory in seven games
this season downing Michigan
State 97-86 last night.
The Gophers hit 48.5 per cent
of their shots from the field, only
the second time this season they've
shot more than 40 per cent during
conference play.
But the Gophers won it at the
free throw line, hitting 31 of 39
shots while Michigan State sank
only 12 of 24 shots from the foul
line.
The Gophers, led by Ollie Shan-
non with 26 points, jumped to
an early 7-0 lead in the first two
minutes and the Spartans n e v e r
caught up.

Ducks drubbed
EUGENE, Ore. - Southern Cal-
ifornia's third-ranked Trojans
withstood a 34-point barrage by
Oregon guard Stan Love and
trounced the Ducks 93-75 yester-
day in Pacific-8 collegiate basket-
ball action.
The Trojans led 43-36 at the
half after 11 ties and the Ducks
were able to pull ahead only once
again - at 49-48 with 15:04 re-
maining.
USC recovered the lead quickly
on a rebound basket by center Ron
Riley and never trailed again.
Irish romp
CHICAGO - Austin Carr's 36
points led ninth-ranked N o t r e
Dame, pushing for an NCAA bid,
to a 107-76 basketball victory over
scrappy DePaul University yester-
day.
The triumph was the 13th in 19
starts for the Irish. Notre Dame
4Lso got a 30-point effort from
Collis Jones as it shook off e a r1 y
game doldrums and spurted far
ahead in the second half.
DePaul, losing its eighth
straight game for a 5-15 record,
used a tough 2-3 zone defense to
great advantage in the first half.
The Irish led by only two points,
37-35, until Coach Johnny Dee
inserted Jim Regelean and t h e
sophomore center scored four
quick points and grabbed five re-
bounds in a three-minute span.
That lifted the Irish to a 46-37
halftime lead.

J-Hawks win
STILLWATER, Okla. - A Kan-
sas offensive splurge midway in
the second half downed Oklahoma
State, 63-50, yesterday in Big
Eight basketball.
The fifth-ranked Jayhawks ex-
panded a 31-29 half time lead to
51-39 eight minutes from the end
to jolt the Cowboys' hopes of an
upset.
OSU broke on top early and
threatened the Jayhawk's unbeat-
en Big Eight record. But Kansas
began making its move with six
minutes left in the first half be-
hind eight points, 24-16.
