The Michigan Daily-Wdnesday, October 26, 1977-F SPOR TS OFFICIA L RA CIA LL Y SLURRED Two fr By PAUL CAMPBELL Two fraternities involved in an in- cident of severe racial abuse of an In- tramural sports official have been suspended from competition in the major team sports within their division. Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, both perennial powers in the all-year point competition in the Fraternity Division, will not be allowed to participate in football, water polo, basketball, or volleyball in the 1977-78 school year. THE INCIDENT which led to the double suspension by the IM Disciplinary Board occurred at Fuller r It 'S ats put Field on Thursday, October 13. The two frats were scheduled to play a cham- pionship softball game. But, due to a clerical mistake on the part of the IM Department, the game did not appear on the field supervisor's daily schedule. Thus, it could not be considered an of- ficial game and would.-have to be rescheduled. BECAUSE TWO of the teams on the supervisor's sheet did not show up, however, there were extra officials anyway. But the supervisor was under the impression it was not an official game, while the players still thought ) n IM probation they were playing for the title. witnesses, the supervisor was sub The manager of one of the teams ted to a variety of racial epith4 scheduled to play in the next time slot Among other things, she was call asked the supervisor, a black woman, if "bitch" and "a nigger bitch."

Both frats are appealing the decision, which effectively eliminates them from the all-year competition this year, and will present their cases later this week. According to Bo Schembechler foot- ball practice is going pretty much as usual this week, despite last weekend's 16-0 shellacking at the hands of Minne- sota. "We're still trying to shake it, but we had a good day today," he said. "We're nol doing anything special. We're just trying to do the things we do better - we must improve our execution and start making plays offensively." When informed that his team is rank- ed sixth both in AP and UPI Schem- bechler replied, "After what happened, I'm surprised we're even sixth." Defensive tackle Chris Godfrey has pneumonia and probably will not play against Iowa. He did not start, but did play at Minneapolis. Dale Keitz and Curtis Greer will start at the defensive tackles. Tight end Mark Schmerge returned to practice yesterday after sitting out four games with a neck injury.

Relief -ace By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Sparky Lyle of the New York Yankees, who has never started a game in 11 major league seasons, became the first American League relief pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. In balloting released yesterday by the Baseball Writers Association of America, Lyle picked up 56% points to tie Jim Palmer of the Baltimore Orioles, a previous three-time win- ner, who had 48 points. Strikeout king Nolan Ryan of the California Angels finished third with 46 points, followed by Dennis Leonard of the Kansas City Royals, who had 45. The left-handed Lyle, whose 201 career saves are a major league record, received nine first place votes, three for second and 2% votes for third place. That gave him his total of 56% points under the system which awards five points for first, three for second and one for third. Lyle, 33, led the Yankees to the AL East title for the second straight year with a 13.5 record, 26 saves and a league-leading 2.17 earned run aver- age. His victories in games four and five of the AL playoffs against Kansas City sent the World Cham- pion Yankees into the World Series, where he picked up the opening game victory against Los Angeles. Lyle cops Cy Young, UPI Top Twenty Weaver wins BALTIMORE - Earl weaver, who led the Baltimore Orioles to 97 vic- tories and a surprising second-place Eastern Division tie behind the world champion New York Yankees, was named American League Manager of the Year yesterday in a landslide vote. "It's certainly an honor, and I'm proud," Weaver said, "but it's a tribute to the Baltimore organization and the ballplayers. Nothing counts unless the guys a manager calls on to do the job can do it." Weaver received 248 votes in a na- tionwide poll of writers and broad-, casters conducted by the Associated Press. Whitey Herzog of the Western Division champion Kansas City Roy- als was a distant runner-up with 54 votes. Chicago's Bob Lemon, who had the White Sox in contention in the West most of the season, was third with 52, followed by Billy Martin of the Yanks with 38. Martin won the award last year with the Yanks and in 1974 with the Texas Rangers. * * * Kickers coming NEW YORK - Memphis and Detroit have been added to the North American Soccer League, the league announced yesterday. The move boosted the number of NASL fran- chises to 21. The Detroit group, described as "American-controlled with British interests," includes Roger Faulkner, Gordon Preston, Ted Ewald, John Maxwell and Elliott Trumbull. Included also is World Sports Academy, Ltd., a British-owned soc- cer development organization. The Detroit franchise will play in the Silverdome, which seats 80,500, at Pontiac, Michigan. * * * Spikers spiked Michigan's women's volleyball team traveled to Western Michigan last night and came up on the short end of a five-game match, losing three games to two. The Wolverines took the opening match 15-10, but the Broncos came back to take the second game 15-11. Michigan rebounded to win game three 15-3, but couldn't put the match away, as Western Michigan took the next two games by identical 15-11 scores. Poor calls by the referee and linesmen were cited as causes for the Wolverines' defeat. "The referee was inconsistent on all her calls," said a volleyball spokesman. "Her calls just came at the wrong time for us, which affected our playing." Jackie Madison's smart hitting and passing and Jeanne Sellman's front row blocking and hitting were the keys to the Wolverines' two wins. The loss drops the spikers record to 10-9 heading into the Big Ten Cham- pionships in Madison, Wisconsin, October 27-29. Upon hearing the column's cdi Bo said, "Joe's sick, and you can me on that. He needs treatment an not sure he'sgetting it." 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

Hubbard paced the Wolverine attack last season by leading the team in scoring and rebounding and is slated to co-captain the 1977-78 Michigan team with guard Dave Baxter. The junior from Canton, Ohio first hurt his knee while playing for the U.S. in the World Games in Bulgaria last summer. The injury wass repor- tedly healed when the team began workouts October 17, however, Hub- bard came down with a rebound in that practice, reinjuring the knee. In response to Hubbard's need for surgery, Michigan coach Johnny Orr said, "We certainly hope to have Phil back playing with us in the near future. He's a great, great player and a fine young man and We want the best for him." r x''o.
