Lynn
named
lop AL
rookie
Fred Lynn, Boston Red Sox centerfielder, was chosen by
the Baseball Writers Association of America as the American
League's Rookie of the Year. Lynn, shown here making a
diving catch of Johnny Bench's fly ball in the sixth inning
of the second World Series game, came within one half a
vote of being an unanimous selection.
Teammate Jim Rice was the only other player to
receive any recognition in the 24 ballots cast, as one writer
split his ballot between the two Boston outfielders.
Lynn batted .331, second to Minnesota's Rod Carew. The
Bosox star slammed 21 home runs, drove in 105 runs, and led
the league in slugging, runs scored and doubles. Also con-
sidered in the voting was Lynn's outstanding defensive
abilities.
Lynn, 23, graduated from the University of Southern
California where he played in three college World Series.
He credited consistency for his outsanding season this year.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think I ever went three games in
a row without a hit this season," he said.
There is a chance that this may not be Lynn's only
award for his fine season. He is considered a prime candidate
for the American League's Most Valuable Player Award
which will be announced on November 26.

Johnny Orr to say on the open-
ing day of practice two weeks
ago: "We have more good play-
iers now than we've had at any
one time since I've been here."
Apparently, others think so,
too. "Basketball Week" puts
Michigan 12th in the country.

magazine calls the Wolverines

And Sports Illustrated was
here the other week to take pic-
tures of the team° for its college
basketball issue. It places Mich-

ton, Ohio. Hubbard, 6-7, was
called by some one of the
top ten high school players
last year.
Hubbard has pleased Orr with
his ability to rebound and make
the outlet pass -indispensable
assets for Michigan's fast-break
offense.
"Around the post," added
Orr, "he's really quick. When
you gettherballyto him, some-
thing happens. He gets the ball
up there or he gets fouled."
Unfortunately, high school and
junior college coaching does not
emphasize defense as much as
the Big Ten.
"All of them have to improve
tremendously on defense," said
Orr. "I think if we go with any
of thenew players, defense will
be the biggest problem."
Hubbard himself says the
problem is not a major one.
"At the end you tend to get
tired-it makes you look bad,"
he said. "We can play de-!
fense. We've just got to get
in shape."
Guard Tom Staton, another
recruit, reminds Frieder of sen-
ior forward Wayman Britt, who
was once a guard himself.
"Staton's a strong guard, a
g o o d. rebounder," explained
Orr. "He's a very intelligent
player. He's a real team leader

Many sports have finished up since the last time this column
appeared and many champions have been determined. In the
Residence Hall Division the Class "A" softball champs are Tay-
lor House. Taking the "A" tennis crown was Van Tyne House.
The Residence Hall track meet was won by Couzens Hall. Allen

by defeating the Botany Wombats. Dennis Kirby and Bob
Taylor were victorious in the All-Campus doubles racquet-
ball competition and Craig Finger outlasted his opposition to

Stanley provided the game's
only tally when she took a cen-
tering pass from Stephanie But-
trey and slammed the ball past
Forsythe, with about seven min-
utes left to play in the first half.
Stanley replaced Cindy Law-
son who broke a bone in her left
hand last Thursday in a game
against Michigan State. "We
had an injury and we had to
make some adjustments," Oc-
ker said, "and it worked out
well."

last week and carted off the Pizza Bob's pizza. The impotent
Huberites had previously suffered another humiliating defeat
when a small contingent of Kelsey House unceremoniously
yanked them into the Huron River in a brief tug-of-war.
