Saturday, April 7, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Severi MICHIGAN SWEEPS TWO ° " i s ,. .:.a sas.::::.sakAsr>o: - Titai By MARC FELDMAN Bob Barnett of the University of Detroit baseball team couldn't be blamed if he left Ray Fisher Stadium yesterday with a smile on his face although he and his Titan teammates had just gone down twice to Michigan, 1-0 and 3-0, in the Wolverines' first home appearance of the 1973 season. Detroit's impotence at the plate and inconsistency in the field could not be traced to the Titan hurler and part-time first baseman. It is indeed a prodigi- ous task to pitch a no-hitter and win, but to pitch a no-hitter and lose is a feat even less hurlers have performed. " Barnett did it yesterday against Michigan and it took a couple of errors by his shortstop, a sacri- fice bunt and a ground out to finally push across a run in the . bottom of the sixth that turned out to be enough for Michigan to win, 1-0.. Not only did the Dearborn righthander pitch this somewhat tainted gem on the hill but he also supplied the less than titanic ace loses SPORTS. NIGHT EDITORS; MARCIA MERKER and MARK RONAN Titan offense with three of its six hits in the doubleheader, giving him a rousing season bat- ting average of .555 with ten hits in 18 at bats. The oddity of Barnett's no-hit- tr overshadowed equally fine mound performances by Mich- igan's Pete Helt in the first game and Art "Ace" Adams in the nightcap. Both pitchers displayed pin point control in hurling their shutouts as neither issued a walk all afternoon and combined for 13 strikeouts. Helt, a senior southpaw from Morris Plains, N.J., had the De- troit hitters off balance all day with a variety of breaking pitch- es that had the Titans flailing at the breeze. Helt fanned nine Detroiters in going the full seven innings including seven whiffs in the first three innings. The Titans threatened to vio- late the plate just once during the first game, in the initial in- ning, when two throwing errors by the left side of the Wolverine infield gave Detroit first and third with two outs. Barnett then offered an omen of things to come when he grounded into a force play to end the inning. Helt gave up just two singles in rais- ing his record to 1-2. Adams wasn't as spectacular as Helt, but he kept out of trou- ble by scattering four singles, norn issuing no walks, and receiving flawless fielding support from his teammates. Victorious Coach Moby Bene- dict was disappointed in Mich- igan's hitting but he had praise for both his hurlers. "When you get pitching like that you can afford to pick and scratch for a run. They (Hell and Adams) got. those curve balls over the plate." In the nightcap, the hitting drought reached seven straight innings before Tom Kettinger led off the Michigan second with a line drive double to right center. John Lonchar raised the fans to ecstacy by lacing a run-scoring single to left center to give Mich- igan a 1-0 lead. Bill Mever, who had his appendix removed just over two weeks ago, followed with another safety but Lonchar was cut down at the plate on a fine throw from rightfielder Pete Sulzicki. Kettinger, Lonchar, and Meyer combined for another Wolverine run two innings later. Kettinger beat out an infield single and moved to second on a wild pitch before Lonchar drew a base on balls. Meyer followed with his itter second of three hits on the after- noon, driving in Kettinger. In the sixth inning, Michigan added an insurance tally and Lonchar and Meyer had their hands in- that one also. Lonchar walked and Meyer beat out an infield smash to sh6rt. Mike De Con ripped a line drive base hit to right field and Benedict, tak- ing no chances on Sulzicki's strong arm in the outfield, held Lonchar on third. Freshman Dan Damiani got the run home with a sacrifice fly. Detroit's record fell to 2-3 with the twin defeats yesterday. The Titans had taken two of three from Carson-Newman on their trip down South and hit .353 in the process. However, they had the misfortune of having five games cancelled by rain. Michigan has won three in a row after seven straight losses in Arizona at the beginning of the season. Wolverine hurlers have held the opposition score- less over 24 straight innings in the three wins while the offense has managed just five runs.

Though they managed nary a hit in the first game, the Wolverines took both ends of the double bill, blanking the Titans 1-0 and 3-0. CHESS Anatoli Karpov . . .a bright new star MIKE DUWECK RU$SIAN CHESS supremacy was dealt a staggering blow when Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky, taking away a world title the Soviets had owned since 1948. Yet this defeat was only the latest sign of the Soviet Union's weakening grip on the chess world. Of greatest concern to the Soviet Chess Federation for more than a decade has been the lack of new superstars to fill the pool from which Soviet individual and team world champions have come. Only in November, 1971, did light begin to appear at the end of the tunnel. In that month, 20-year-old Anatoli Karpov began a tre- mendous string of international tournament successes. It was then that he shared first place in the Alelchine Memorial Tournament, followed by a share of first place in the Hast- ings Tournament in December, a 7-2 record leading the So- viet Students Team to the World Students' Championship in July, 1972, and a 9-2 score in the finals of the Skopje Olym- piad. And last, but not least, he shared first place in the Church's Fried Chicken, Inc. First International Chess Tour- nament with Tigran Petrosian and Lajos Portisch in De- cember, 1972. During a stop in Chicago, on their way home from the C.F.C. I.F.I.C.T., Petrosan and Karpov helds a news conference where Petrosian, world champion prior to Boris Spassky, said Karpov might be able to beat Fischer within eight years. Karpov agreed that he would be able to beat Fischer, but did not think it would take that long. Such is the confidence of a 21-year-old future world title contender. Following is a game which Karpov played against George Botterill in the Soviet Union vs. Britain match of the 1972 World Students' Championship. It demonstrates what U.S. Grandmaster Robert Byrne described as the "leisurely boa constrictor style" which has become synonymous with Karpov.

We received word from Amsterdam this week that plans to hold a chess tournament in Holland between Europe and the rest of the world may be dropped because of "exorbitant" fees de- manded by World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Willem Ruth, chairman of the Dutch Chess Federation, re- ported that the match was being planned for next September to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the federation. He said that Fischer had demanded a starting sum of $100,000 and a fee of $5,000 a day for two simultaneous sessions. Ruth said that the Russians had also refused to participate in the tournament, saying the September date did not suit them. However, Dr. Max Euwe, Dutch president of FIDE, the world chess federation, reported that the Russians were still upset over losing the World Championship last year. But Ruth added that efforts would still be made to hold the competition next year. "We hope that Fischer will be more reasonable in his finan- cial demands-," he said. "If necessary, we shall manage without him." The Ann Arbor and Mark's Coffeehouse chess teams continued their winning ways March 23 as they rolled over their opposition in the Metropolitan Chess Association. Ann Arbor increased its lead over second-place Livonia I in League I from 3% to a commanding 4 points, with one league match left. In League V, Mark's Coffeehouse crushed Pontiac Ii to push its lead over second-place Chrysler III from 1 to 3 points, with one league match remaining. Winning for Mark's on Boards 1, 2, 3, and 5 were Rudy Fink, Bill Dinner, Sue Franklin, and Mike Duweck, respectively, whle Randy Cunningham drew on Board 4. International Master Milan Vukcevic will give a 70 board sim- ultaneous chess exhibition on Thursday, April 12, here in Ann Arbor. Vukcevic has an impressive array of chess accomplish- ments to qualify him as a formidable opponent, even in a 70 board event. He won the Bronze Medal at the 1960 Chess Olympiad. In a match with Bent Larsen, second in the West to Bobby Fischer, Vukcevic scored a 4.4 result. He also won the best-played-game prize at the 1960 World Student Champ- ionship in Leningrad, tied for first in the 1969 U.S. Open, and is currently rated 9th in the U.S. Local Master David Presser arranged for Vukcevic's appear- D~ouble 1Dil FIRST GAME DETROIT (0) s ABR H Turkington, 2b 3l 0 1 Kazanski, s-s 3 0 0 Hamann, if 3 0 0 Sobczak, 3b 3 0 0 Barnett, p 3 E 1 Taylor, rf 3 0 0 Miedowski, of 3 0 0 Sulzicki, 1b2 0 0 Day, c 2 0 0 Totals 25 0 2 MICHIGAN (1) AB It IH Crane, ss 3 1 0 Forhan, dh 2 0 0 Ross, pr-dh 0 0 0) Helt, p0 0 0 Sullivan, lb 0 0 Kettinger, If 2 0 0 Lonchar, c 3 0 0 Balaze, 2b 2 0 0 Meyer, 3b 2 0 0 De Cou, rf 2 0 0 Totals 20 1 0 1 2 3 4 56 7-R H i: Detroit 0 0 00 000--0 2 3 Michigan 0 0 0 0 0 1 x-1 0 2 Errors - Kazanski (3), Meyer, Crane; DP - None; LOB - Detroit 4, 'Michi- gan 5; SH - Forhan; RBI - Sullivan; SB1 - Crane.

Rico Petrocelli and Tommy Harper had three hits each, and Yastrzemski, Reggie Smith and; Dwight Evans two apiece in the Boston barrage. a Tiant, who had a 15-6 record and a league - leading 1.91 earned run average in 1972, allowed eight hits. * * * Carlton fails NEW YORK - Cleon Jones hit two home runs and Tug McGraw saved Tom Seaver's victory with clutch eighth - inning relief as the New York Mets defeated the This Weekend in Sports TODAY LACROSSE-at Dennison GYMNASTICS-NCAA Championships, at Eugene, Oregon RUGBY-Detroit Cobras, at Palmer Field, 2 p.m. TOMORROW BASEBALL-Eastern Michigan University, at Ray-Fisher Stadium, 1 p.m. LACROSSE-Bowling Green, at Ferry Field, 2 p.m. RUGBY-Ann Arbor Academicals, at Palmer Field, 3 p.m. MONDAY TENNIS-Notre Dame, at Varsity Tennis Courts, 3 p.m. aboard as the Orioles scored four League baseball game. unearned runs in the first, and fol- Mike Torrez was working on a lowed Baylor's solo blast with an- four-hitter and leading 2-1 until other of his own in the seventh., the ninth.

Michigan never say die gym- nasts gave it the ole college try yesterday in 'their attempt to en- ter the NCAA team finals today. The Wolverine's score of 318.65 left them in fourth place, missing the finals, as leading Iowa State (324.85), charging Penn State (322.80) and third place Indiana State 321.20 will battle it out. For a while it looked like Michi- gan was on its way to duplicating the miracle rally it staged to take the Big Ten Title, but a complete cave-in in the final two events put out the fire. After watching Indiana State score a 161.30 in their session, Michigan went to work knowing it needed a score of 162.2 to fly' into third place. l)eterined to overcome their rivals, the Wolverines started well w ith a 26.55 free exercise mark. Ward Black led the way with a crowd pleasing 9.25 effort. From the format, the sidehorse was the' next stop and with solid efforts from Richard Hansen (8.9) and Jerry Poynton (8.8) it looked like they were on thei- way. The rings was another indication of an ap- parent Michigan rally when they scored a very respectable 26.95. 'linty Fald's brilliant 9.3 and Jo Neuenswander's 9.05 were the top marks. The climax of the Michigan rally was the vaulting event where the Wolverine's stunned the crowd with an amaz- ing 28 point score.
