DETROIT - After rummaging
through closets for a full week, the
Detroit Tigers finally found their
hitting shoes as they bombed
Cleveland 8-2 yesterday at Tiger
Stadium.
Through the first five games the
Bengals were only able to push ten
runs across the plate. Starter Jim
Perry got all he needed, however,
when the V3Ti-rs ignited for a four
run rally in the fifth inning on
Gates Brown s bases-loaded dou-
ble.
Perry, getting his first start of
the season, wem the distance fr
the victory. The $6-year old form-
er Twin hurler had a shut-out go-
ing until the nith when the In-
dians pushed across two before
Perry struck out John Lowen-
stein for the last out.
The Tigeis first scored in the
third when Eddie Brinkman led
off with his third triple in three
days. It looked as if the Tribe's
Steve Dunning would notlet Brink-
man score as he struck out Dick
McAuliffe and Rich Reese and had
two strikes on Norm Cash. Dun-
ning then threw high over catcher
Dave Duncan's head, and Brink-
man scampered home for the first
tally. Brinkman, hitting in the
number nine slot, is currently the
team's leading slugger, hitting at
a torrid .353 clip.
Indian miscues again set up the
Tiger scoring in the fifth. With
two out, runners on first and sec-
ond, Cash hit a routine ground ball
to second baseman Jack Broham-
mer. Brohammer, however, bob-
bled the ball to load the bases.
The Tigers did not allow the gift
to go to waste, as Gates Brown
followed with a base clearing dou-
ble.
The Tigers had opened the inn-
ing with Mickey Stanley's double.
Brinkman bunted him down to
third, and McAuliffe worked the
suicide squeeze flawlessly. Bill
Freehan and Rich Reese then
walked to set up the final scor-
ing.
The Tigers picked up ten hits
Bay awarded
_Illinois honor
Rick- Bay, the popular and
highly successful coach of Michi-
gan's conference winning grap-
pling squad, was inducted into the
Illinois Wrestling Hall of Fame last
night. Bay, the Big Ten's young-
est wrestling coach, is also the
Hall's youngest inductee ever.
Bay's selection comes in recog-
nition of the talented man's com-
bined active and coaching careers.
The Illinois native garnered ten
letters competing in wrestling,
baseball and football at Wauk-
gan High School, surpassing by
one the mark established by Otto
Graham at the same school.
At Michigan, Bay won two Big
Ten titles for the .Cliff Keen coach-
ed Wolverines.' He captained the
1965 crew which won a third
straight conference crown. Upon
graduation, Bay served f o u r
years as Keen's assistant, taking
over the head-coaching reins
when Mr. Keen retired after the
1970 campaign.
Jerry Hubbard, a junior from
Joliet, Ill., also received kudos last
night for his recently won national
150-pound title.

Freehan and two by Rodriguez. To-
morrow the Tigers will try to
sweep the series as they send
Woodie Fryman to the mound,
looking for his first win of the
year.

KNOXVILLE - The name Dog-
wood may not do much for you,
but it sure inspires the hell out of
the Michigan track team. For the
second year in a row, the Wol-
verine track squad returned from
Knoxville refreshed, tanned and
victorious. Eric Chapman, the
Blue's ace half-miler, called the
meet "outstanding" and the 75
degree weather "beautiful."
The distance medley relay team
led the Blue gold-grabbing as they
shattered the old school record
by three seconds with a 9:45.0
clocking. This time is among the
five fastest run in the country this
year. Rowe led off the record
breaker with a 46,0 quarter-mile,
Al Cornwell followed with a su
perb 1:51.8 half-mile then Chap-
man paced a 2:57.5 three-quarter

ran a 4:09 mile. Rowe anchored

quarter. Greg Syphax won the in-

Godfrey Murray repeated as 120-yd.
high hurdle champ with 14.1 while
second place finisher and team-
mate Mel Reeves closely pursued
at 14.3.
Rounding out the victorious
squad was a second place finish
by the 440-relav squad and by Mike
Nowacki, freshman high jumper
who lost to the Canadian national
champion with a 6-10 leap. Steve
Adams, defending champ in the
shot put and discus, did not fare
as well this time around, finishing
second in the shot and fourth in.

Butler got second in the triple
jumn, a 49-2 jump, and fourth in
the long jump.
While the heart of the squad par-
ticipated in the Dogwood Relays,
the remainder of the Wolverine
thinclads contended at the Eastern
Michigan Open, affectionately
known as the Dogshit Relays.
Michigan's Easten contingent did
manage a few outstanding per-
formances of their own
Jon Cross, freshman distance,
runner, won the six mile and
shattered the Eastern track record
by 27 seconds ashe ran 29:07.9.
Rick Schott won the two-mile with
a 9:06.9 timing and Bob Mills
clocked a 1:54,9 half-mile taking
second. Vern Rottman, Michigan's
only intermediate hurdler finished
fifth with a 58.0 time.
Ed Kulka won the pole vault by
matching his personal best of 15-0,
Pete Hill won the triple jump by
going 47-4. Steve Fenster took sec-
ond in the discus by throwing 144-
and Bill Block put the shot 46-11
for fourth place. Jesse Myers only
went 6-2 in the high jump sneaking
into fourth place.
Michigan gains split
on Ross relief role
Special To The Daily
CHAMPAIGN - Michigan's baseball club salvaged a split against
Illinois yesterday when relief ace Peter Ross extracted the Wolverines
from a sticky, last-inning predicament and into the winners' clubhouse
with a thrilling 3-2 victory. Illinois took the first game of the Big Ten
doubleheader, 6-3.
With Michigan leading 3-0 going into the eventful seventh, start-
ing pitcher Craig Forhan ran into trouble when two walks and a
single loaded the sacks with one out. At that point, Michigan coach
Moby Benedict replaced Forhan with left-hander Tom Joyce.
Joyce, who was making his first appearance since an early
Arizona outing six weeks ago, apparently left the strike zone back
in the visitor's bullpen. The Clawson sophomore misfired on eight
straight tosses, forcing in two runs and clipping Michigan's margin
by two-thirds.
Moby came barrelling out to the mound, waving his right wing
for the reliable Ross. The University of Vermont transfer student
tamed the "Fighting Illini" in short order, fanning his first foe and
inducing the second into a game-ending sky-out.. Ross' save is his
third in as many relief outings.

WOLVERINE ALUMNUS Bill Freehan exemplifies the Detroit Tigers' traditional torrid pace on the basepaths as the force play at
second base had him beat by a good twenty feet. Nevertheless, Cleveland's John Brohammer, failed to put enough stuff on his lob to
first, and Tiger left fielder Rich Reese beat the play. Learning something every day from teammate Leo Cardenas, Brohammer made
a fifth-inning error to set up Gates Brown's bases-loaded double.

stickmen kill
Cion cy
By BARRY ARGENBRIGHT
Seemingly frustrated with their
last couple of performances, the
Michigan lacrosse club gained a
measure of revenge yesterday af-
ternoorn by humiliating Cincinnati
15 to 4.
Ruggers rip 'Cats and Badgers
behind brutal Bucks' blanking
. The Wolverines looked sharp in
the pre-game warm-up, and it
paid off for them as they broke out
for five straight goals in the first
period. Bob DiGiovanni was the
big man in this stanza as he
notched the hat trick to lead Mich-
igan to a 6-2 margin.
The second period sealed the
doom of the men from Cincy, as
the Maize and Blue completely
took control of the game. Dick
Dean, a smooth attackman with
deceptive speed, put on a one man
show with his inspired scoring and
passing exhibition. Justifiably,
Dean finished as the game's
leading scorer with a total of four
goals.
Unlike the team's recent per-
foriances against Notre Dame
and Denison, the stickmen were
sharp yesterday in almost every
phase of the contest. The passing
was accurate, the, checking was
tough, and in general the whole
team played with a more deter-
mined, which is to say, more of a
winning attitude.
Coming into the third period
with a 11-2 lead is certainly a
rather comfortable situation to be
in. It should, however, be said
that the Wolverines didn't rest on
this margin, but played with the
same kind of fury a team does
when it is in an extremely close
contest.
Jim Kilkowski exemplified this
in his hard-nose, close checking
play, which paid off for him per-
sonally in the form of three goals.
The third quarter, like the two
previous ones, remained an all-
Michigan affair.

EAST LANSING-In undoubtedly what. was the
worst Michigan rugby performance since the 1966
tournament, the Blue were eliminated from 1973
Big Ten Championship hopes 21-0 by Ohio State
in the preliminary round yesterday morning.
The Blue partly redeemed themselves by
crunching Northwestern 26-0 and slipping by
Wisconsin 10-7 in afternoon action to move into
the fifth place consolation round today.
Despite the one-sidedness of the OSU score, it
should have been worse. The Bucks moved at will
into Michigan territory with excellent backfield
passing and stunning ball control penetration by
the forwards. Ohio State had come to play.
Michigan hadn't.
The Michigan forwards, once the backbone of
the team, were as effective against Ohio State as
trying to put out a grease fire with water. Their
noticeable absence in the rucks after tackles and
a lack of hunger to get possession of the ball was.
blatant. Literally, the only time the Blue back-
field saw the ball was when they tried to tackle
the Ohio ball carrier.
Ohio State scored shortly after the kickoff.
offensive effort as they pocketed five trys and one
conversion. Cleland Child broke through the Wild-
cats' backline on a long line-out throw-in for an
easy try. Rob lHuizenga came right back with the
first of his two trys as he bolted around the near
sideline. After a blocked kick Tom Raboine passed
to Chuck Driukis for another Michigan score. Brad
Whitmore and lluizenga with one conversion by
Jacque Passino closed out the Michigan revenge.
The Wisconsin match was a typical gruelling
contest between the two Big Ten rivals. While
both sides were uickly stopping offensive threats
on foot, Wisconsin converted a lenalty kick, to
take a 3-0 lead half way through the first period.
Near the close of the half, Michigan captured the
advantage on surprisingly well-executed slipping
by the Blue forwards inside the Badger five
yard-line resulting in Quentin Lawson diving across
the goal for a try. O'Conner's conversion split the
posts just before the intermission whistle for a 6-3
Blue lead.
Both offenses stagnAted in the second half until
Mike Markman found open running on the far
sideline -,in Wisconsin territory. Tackled on the
20 yard line, he passed inside to Lawson who
