Match-ups at each position are as
follows:
FIRST BASE: The Dodgers' Steve
Garvey, tough offensively and defen-
sively, hit .298 with 33 homers and 115
RBI's. The Phillies' Richie Hebner,
hitting .285 with 18 homers and 62
RBI's is new to the position.
SECOND BASE: Dave Lopes of the
Dodgers, a .283 hitter with 46 stolen
bases makes things happen on the
base paths. Ted Sizemore batted .281
with 47 RBI's for the Phillies.
SHORTSTOP: Both teams possess
excellent fielding shortstops. Bill
Russell of the Dodgers hit .278 with 51
RBI's. Philadelphia's Larry Bowa hit
.280 with 41 RBI's, but committed
only 13 errors.
THIRD BASE: Mike Schmidt of
the Phillies hit .275 with 38 homers
and 101 RBJ's, and is also an
excellent fielder. Ron Cey of Los
Angeles, also supports impressive
figures with 30 homers and 110 RBI's.
LEFT FIELD: The Phillies' Greg
Luzinski, an adequate fielder with a
powerful bat, hit .309 with 39 homers
and 139 RBI's. The Dodgers' Dusty
Baker, who hit .291 with 30 homers
and 86 RBI's, has the advantage over
Luzinski in fielding.
CENTER FIELD: Gary Maddox of
the Phi'llies, patrols the outfield with'
great speed and range. He hit .293
with 14 homers and 74 RBI's. The
Dodgers' Rick Monday has played
hurt most of the season, -but when
healthy can provide offensive punch.
RIGHT FIELD: A good match up.
Los Angeles' Reggie Smith, good
defensively with a strong arm, hit
.306 with 32 homers and 87 RBI's. In
84 games, with the Phillies, Bake
McBride hit .346 with 15 homers and
61 RBI's, also stealing 27 bases.
CATCHER: Both teams have good
defensive catchers. Steve Yeager of
the Dodgers, possesses the kind of
arm that runners must respect. The
Phils' Bob Boone batted .286 with 11
homers and 66 RBI's this year.
One thing to look for in the first
game will be the controversial
pick-off move of Phillies' ace, Steve
Carlton. Carlton has developed an
impressive pick-off, changing the
speed of his pitching motion, causing
many to consider it a balk.
What may well make the differ-
ence in the series is the superior
bench strength of the Phillies. Tim

Michigan's sailing sports club won
the memorial Carry-Price Regatta
here, while Miami (0.) was second and
Tufts third. Michigan's victory in this
major event should rank them in the top
ten when the polls come out in a few
weeks. a
Led by junior All-American Peter
Smit, and Tom Kinney, Michigan was
second in the A division, first in B
division and first in overall points.
John Wilson of Michigan State won the
race in the A division while Smith and
crew member Pam Polhemus were
second. Doug McKeig of Tufts was
third. Tom Kinney and Linda Lavistta
were tops in B division.
Other schools in the meet were Navy,
Wisconsin-Madison, Ohio Wesleyan,
Notre Dame, Purdue, Illinois, Indiana
and Western Michigan.
Smith, a Naval architecture major
from Greenwich, Conn., joins Bill
Deuchler as co-captain of the team.
Kickers split
The undergraduate soccer club split a
pair of games last weekend, losing at
Notre Dame, 4-2, then edging host In-
diana-Purdue, 3-2, boosting the team's
record to 4-1.
Notre Dame attained varsity status
from the NCAA only the day before
their game with Michigan. The Irish
were riding high with enthusiasm in the
4-2 win. Dave Ritchie and Ihor
Federowycz scored in the losing
struggle,
Michigan came right back the next
day and knocked off the Indiana team.
Federowycz had a pair of goals and
Ritchie added the third. Center half-
back Steve Schmidt, a freshman, was
another standout in the close victory.
