. The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, March 22, 1978--Page 9 Rec department, city plan active summer By BILL THOMPSON Contrary to popular belief, the University and the city of Ann Arbor are not in suspended animation from May through August. A substantial proportion of the citizenry, even students, remain in the city, and those who do will be able to choose from among a variety of recreational opportunities. THE UNIVERSITY recreational sports staff has promised that athletic facilities will be readily available through spring and summer terms. That alone may be sufficient to lure competitors who are weary of waiting endlessly in line in order to participate. The CCRB, NCRB, and IMSB will remain open along with the athletic fields and tennis courts. The courts and fields will be open to the world except when pre-empted by an intramural sports club event. An additional restriction has been placed on indoor facility use, however, and it will wind up costing users money. Students not enrolled in spring or summer term classes will have to pay ten dollars for a season pass to recreation buildings. The pass is available to all continuing students not enrolled for spring/summer term. "THE CHANGE was made so the 10 per cent who use the facilities without paying for it from that term's tuition will share the cost with the 90 per cent who do," explained Dean Brynildsen, Recreational Sports Publicity director. No extra charges have been placed on intramural or club sports, however, and a lengthy schedule of sports will be available again this year. They are open to any student and have no spring/summer term enrollment requirement. Twelve intramural sports and ten sports clubs will be offered. For those who lack the courage and ability for the often high level of com- petition in university sports, the Ann Arbor Recreation Department will of- fer a number of summer activities featuring instruction in tennis, swim- ming, karate, fencing and scuba. The city rec department has also in- cluded soccer, baseball, and softball leagues, as well as a tennis tournament. Details on these events will not be made available until the middle of May with registration following shortly thereaf- ter, as Ann Arbor makes its way into a sporting summer. Torrid Tigers Is it too early for pennant fever? Unfortunately for the Tigers, yes. But the way they have been playing down in Florida these days, the World Series seems a lot closer than it did last year. Yesterday the Detroiters won their fifth straight game, and the ninth of the last ten, stopping the Philadelphia Phillies, 6- 5, in Clearwater. Newcomer Jim Slaton baffled the Philly bats for six innings, allowing only one hit - a leadoff single by Bake McBride. Ron LeFlore's two-run homer in the fourth off starter Steve Carlton staked the Tigers to an early 4-( lead. But the Phils staged a three- run ninth-inning rally off reliever Roric Harrison to nearly tie the game. Rightfielder Tim Corcoran paced the Tigers, now 10-3, with four hits, while second baseman Steve Dillard collected three. Royal revenge By The Associated Press The Kansas City Royals finally turned the ninth-inning tables on the New York Yankes... in a game that didn't count After losing out to the Yankees in the last two American League playof- fs, both times in the final inning of the final game, the Royals got a small-very small-portion of revenge yesterday when Darrell Porter's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth gave them an 11-10 exhibition vic- tory over the world champions. Porter connencted of rookie Steve Taylor after the Yankees clipped Al Hrabosky for three runs in the top of the inning. Ron Guidry, the Yankees' top pitcher a year ago, made his spring outing and was tagged for five runs and the same number of hits in two innings, in- cluding a three-run homer by Hal McRae. Cliff Johnson homored twice for New York. * * * * Collegiate All-Stars selected WICHITA-Marquette guard Butch Lee, college basketball's Player of the Year, has topped the balloting for a college basketball all-star game, to be held at Las Vegas, Nev., April 1, it was announced yesterday.

Bullets bully Celtics LANDOVER, Md.-Elvin Hayes and Charles Johnson, who combined for 56 points, blunted a Boston rally in' the third quarter and led the Washington Bullets to a 119-107 victory over the Celtics last night. The triumph ended a three-game losing streak for the Bullets and snap- ped Boston's three-game winning streak. Boston rallied from a 63-46 second-quarter deficit and pulled to within 81- 79 as veteran John Havlicek paced the comeback with 10 third-quarter poin- ts. But Johnson scored 8 points and Hayes 5 in the final 3% minutes of the period, enabling the Bullets to take a 85-84 lead into the final period. Johnson scored 13 of his 22 points in the third quarter and Hayes 10 of his 34. Havlicek, in his final career appearance at the Capital Centre, hit only 4 of 10 shots in the first half, but finished with 23 points. Teammate Dave Cowens scored 19. * * * * Sayers under consideration COLUMBIA, Mo.-Former University of Kansas football great Gale Sayers has applied for the athletic director's post at the University of Missouri, he said yesterday. "I sent my application in, but I'm probably one of more than 100 people being considered for the job," Sayers told the Fulton, Mo., Daily Sun- Gazette. "Hopefully I'll get interviewed soon." The Sun-Gazette and the Maneater, a student paper at the university, published stories yesterday saying Sayers applied for the job. Sayers could not be reached for comment. Frederick Spiegel, a political science professor who heads the search committee considering applicants, said four candidates had been selected from the 30 to 35 applicants for interviews. He said Sayers was not among the four selected for interviews so far, but others would be given interviews before the selection was made in late or mid-April. SCORES DETROIT'S STAR CENTER FACES SURGERY Lanier-less Pistons bow to Kings By UPI and AP DETROIT - Two baskets and two free throws by guard Otis Birdsong in the final 80 seconds last night enabled the Kansas City Kings to hold off the in- jury-riddled Detroit Pistons 116-111 in a National Basketball Association game. The Pistons, playing without their star center Bob Lanier who learned earlier in the day he must undergo knee surgery Friday, had rallied from deficits of 20 points midway in the third period and 13 points with 7:22 to go in the fourth to pull within one point, 102- 101, with :44 left in the game. But then in the remaining time, Bir- dsong hit two baskets and four' free throws and Allen connected on a pair of baskets to ward off the Pistons, who five times during the fading moments managed to pull within one point of a tie. Birdsong's final basket came with six seconds left, just beating the 24-second clock, to put the Kings in front 114-111 and make two free throws by teammate Bill Robinzine as time ran out meaningless. Leon Douglas scored nine of his 24 points during the Piston's third period comeback while John Shumate had 12 in the fourth period when the Pistons made their futile comeback. Shumate had 24 for the Pistons. So long, Bob DETROIT-Mainstay center Bob Lanier of the Pistons is scheduled for knee surgery Friday, the NBA club an- nounced yesterday, effectively ending his season and diminishing Detroit's already puny playoff chances. Lanier, 29,is slated for an operation by Dr. Gerald O'Connor at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, fdr removal of a loose bone fragment floating in the left knee joint. The fragment has been causing the 6-foot- 11, 250-pound center pain for the past week or so. Detroit trails Milwaukee by 31,2 games for the final playoff spot and will be without Lanier's 24.5 points and 11.3 rebounds-both figures topping the Pistons-as it tries to overhaul the Bucks. Detroit had 11 games left after hosting Kansas City last night. The club is hopeful of making the playoffs for the fifth straight season. "It is hopeful that this minor surgical procedure will be followed by a short period of rehabilitation and a suc- cessful return to normal basketball ac- tivity," said Detroit's team physician, Benjamin Paolucci. He added Lanier is uncertain when and how the injury happened. "We're all very sorry for Bob," in- terim coach and General Manager Bob Kauffman of the Pistons said, "because: of the tremendous adversity he has had to bear with regards to this injury and to the previous injuries he has sustained in his career. "We can't overcome his loss on the court," Kauffman said, "but we can rededicate our efforts for a playoff spot by pulling together as a team." Lanier 's scoring average was the third best of his career, for which he is 37th on the all-time point list, and tied him for eighth in scoring in the league this season. He was also fifth in field 1 goal percentage. Lanier missed six games earlies this season because of a swollen right knee and one game because of a pinched, nerve in his neck. Leon Douglas is ex- pected to replace him in the starting lineup. SOCCER TRYOUTS FOR THE ANN ARBOR HEIDELBERG LIONS FIRST and RESERVE TEAMS 1975 Western Mich. Soccer League Chomps 1976 Western Mich.

Texas tops NEW YORK (AP) - The high- powered trio of Jim Krivacs, Ron Bax- ter and John Moore led Texas into a gigantic early lead and the fast- breaking Longhorns went on to rout North Carolina State 101-93 last night to win the National Invitation Tour- nament. THE 17TH-RANKED Longhorns from the Southwest Conference made sure of their first NIT championship with a first-half blitz. Behind their three high scorers, the Longhorns mounted to a 17-point lead shortly before the end of the first half.; Krivaes, taking advantage of numerous North Carolina State tur- novers, broke away for several easy baskets and scored 17 of his 33 points as Texas raced into a 54-39 lead at inter- mission. 4 Baxter had 14 of his 26 points and olf pack Moore scored 15 of his 22 to key the fir- st-half surge. THE WOLFPACK, from the Atlantic Coast Conference, continued to make mistakes at the start of the second half and the Longhorns' Big Three con- tinued to capitalize.
