0 rOctober 6, 1977-The Michigan Daily fy. fans crazy' :W YORK (AP) - Whitey Herzog looked ap- naively over his shoulder as masses of base- ans moved into their blue seats at cavenous ee Stadium, [ope they left their flashlight batteries and missiles at home," said the manager of the as City Royals. " These people are dangerous." iE PLAYOFF SERIES for the American ue championship was just getting started and dy Yankee fans were working themselves into izied mood. One could hear a rumble like an river. Taunts were hurled at the men in pale niforms who rode in from the West. in-pricking signs, hand-painted crudely on sheets, began sprouting over the rails of the "The Royals Got Bad Brett," read one, a play on the name of the Royals' star third baseman and 1976 AL batting champion, George Brett. There was nothing very untypical about this. Defaming enemy players and needling them with signs is traditional in ball parks everywhere - as American as Kate Smith and apple pie. Was Whitey too touchy? "I GOT HIT with a battery thrown from the stands last year," Herzog said. "Somebody threw a plum at me. My outfielders had trouble catching fly balls because they were dodging beer cans. "I meant it when I said I hoped we'd play in Baltimore or Boston instead of New York. Had nothing to do with the Yankees. It's the fans. Herzog They're crazy. They're not the Yankee fans I- usea to know." HERZOG AND HIS ROYALS haven't needed any artificial stimulus to motivate their animosity toward their American League rivals. They still smart from their playoff loss to the Yanks last year, decided by a last-minute home run by Chris Chain- bliss. Herzog harbors bitterness over the Yankees' ap- parent premature postponement of a July 25 game at the Stadium, forcing the Royals to replay it on a day off in August. Brett hasn't forgiven Yankees Manager Billy Martin for sloughing off his brother, Ken, a pitcher. "I don't blame the players or Billy Martin; I blame the Yankee management," Herzog said.

Finally, after about an hour, the two teams got together and played their game. Michigan opened the scoring at the eleven minute mark, when Bruce Davidson blasted a shot off the hands of the diving Dearborn goalie. Ten minutes later, Michigan's Dave Sutton, receiving a perfect pass from Steve Schmidt, booted the ball past the sprawling Dearborn goalie, to put Michigan ahead, 2-0.

Box 2345 Rockville, Maryland 20852 with less than two minutes left in the first half. The goal was fired into.the upper right hand part of the goal, p a s t Michigan goalie Richard Matthews. Walt Bianchi padded the Wolver'ine lead only two minutes into the shortened second half [because of the late start, the halves were decreased to 30 minutes from the usual 451 with a hard shot past the helpless Dear- born goalie. Ralph Schwager increased Michi- gan's lead to 4-1, stealing the ball from the goalie and shooting it into the open net. Dearborn closed out the scoring of the game on a penalty kick. The kick came as a result of a questionable tripping call against Michigan in the penalty area. "We're playing a much more aggressive game with our halfbacks at midfield," commented Michigan coach Fred Grunewald. "Tom Cowen did an outstanding job at defensive halfback." Michigan, now 5-1, travels to Mount Pleasant this Saturday to take on Central Michigan in an afternoon contest. -PETE LEININGER Weaver wins Earl Weaver has been named Major League Manager of the Year in a poll conducted by The Sporting News. THE ST. LOUIS-BASED publica- tion said that other managers picked Weaver for doing the best job under the most trying circumstances. Be- cause of the new free-agency rule in baseball, Weaver lost four starting players during the offseason, includ- ing outfielders Reggie Jackson and Don Baylor, pitcher Wayne Garland and second baseman Bobby Grich. Despite those losses, the Orioles were in the American League's Eastern Division championship race until the last three days of the season. -AP Cufra is a region of oases near the southwest corner of Libya, in the midst of one of the world's most impenetrable deserts. t ur By Scott Lewis.. Huckelby for Heisman.. . not likely here THE HEISMAN TROPHY, a miniature-sized statue of an old-time foot- ball player, allegedly symbolizes individual college football excellence in any given year. As individual proficiency usually connotes membership on a successful team - at least to those that vote for the Heisman - the trophy's recipient usually represents one of college football's~superpowers. But in spite of one University of Michigan's membership among the gridiron elite for many years, there has been relatively little talk about a Wolverine Heisman Trophy winner. Rob Lytle's very distant third place last year was the highest a Michigan player has finished in many years. But Detroit sportscaster Al Ackerman in a somewhat sarcastic attempt to promote Harlan Huckleby for the prize this year, often has gone as far as showing films of the Wolverine running back (including one clip-in which Huckleby fumbles). He's also designed T-shirts with "Huckleby for Heis- man" etched on them. Unfortunately for Ackerman's campaign, however, Michigan is not the proper locale for this type of promotion. It takes more than one local sportscaster to bring a Heisman Trophy to a player. At Michigan, due mostly to the football program's team-comes-first philosophy, chances are slim that a Heisman winner will ever emerge. "We have no aversions to promoting any individual but we wouldn't want to get into those slick advertising campaigns like soie other schools," said Will Perry, Michigan's Sports Information Director. "We won't get in- volved with that huckster-type of promotion at Michigan. That's like selling a commodity." Contrast this with the Pittsburgh Sports Information Department, where publicizing 1976-winner Tony Dorsett's exploits took precedence to promoting the team as a whole. "We sent lots of personal stuff all over the country," said Kim Smith, an assistant SID for the Panthers. "We sent slides and film clips of Tony to major metropolitan area stations, and we also sent out a major booklet with his press clippings. In addition, there were key people we tried to contact in the wire services." Most schools consider pre-season publicity very important, so that "Heisman Trophy candidate" will precede the player's name in all wire stories., Oklahoma State, with a legitimate candidate in halfback Terry Miller, has actually contacted Pittsburgh's SID for tips on how to conduct its own campaign. As important as a thorough campaign from within the school's own ranks is toward promoting a candidate, local media participation is also vital. "At places like Columbus (where Archie Griffin copped the award two years in a row) you have writers there who are very involved with the local football team, but it's not-that way here," said Perry. "The Detroit writers have MSU, the Lions and other sports teams also to worry about." Also, the smaller-city writers tend to act as cheerleaders for the football program, while the Detroit-area writers are more cynical than loyal in their treatment of the Wolverines.x i Peiry also emphasized that the department would bekrmiss to promote any single individual for the trophy when the team as a unit is of utmost im- portance. "We're more concerned about publicizing all our All-Americans and we wouldn't take on an individual and put out a slick advertising campaign for him. That's not the way we do things at Michigan," emphasized Perry. The major difference between the outlooks at Pittsburgh and Michigan is the relative importance of the trophy toward the overall football picture at each school. "We hear a lot of stories where the Heisman means so much to a school," said Perry. "But at Michigan, the Heisman doesn't mean very much."> While at Pittsburgh: "Tony brought so much publicity to our football program, that we thought it fair to reciprocate him as far as publicity is concerned," said Smith. "He just turned our football program around, and we're still reaping the benefits of his winning the Heisman Trophy." Ackerman will keep trying to promote Huckleby, and he will even sell some shirts, but unless the tailback transfers to a more Heisman-prone school, chances are Al's efforts will be in vain.
