Sunday,, Apri 1 15, 197 3 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Si.~riday, April 15, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine I Tigers trim Tribe; Blue take tail of two Detroit bats explode; Perry wins gem, 8-2 By JEFF CHOWN Special To The Daily 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. for the day, including three by 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. Thicads pDogwoods Special To The Daily 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 leg and anchor man Bill Bolster ran a 4:09 mile. Rowe anchored the winning mile relay 3:10.3 1 clocking, sprinting 45.6 for the quarter. Greg Syphax won the in- vitational 220-dash with a 21.4, and 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. the discus. Freshman Abraham 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. <> Moby's Men increased their ad- N etters top sans stars ' vantage to 3-0 in the visitors' sixth frame. A couple of walks and a force-out had Kettinger and Bill Meyer on first and second with one dead. John Lonchar's bad-hop single scored Kettinger and chased Meyer to third, Dan Damiani' s ground-out sent Meyer AP Photo 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. SP LITTORFF SPARKLES' Special To The Daily hone.

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. By CHUCK DRUKIS 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.
