Bell, Jilek, and Duf
Wolverines tabed

By The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Ray
Floyd, using a newly-built
five-wood to dominate the par
five holes, shot a brilliant,
seven-under-par 65 and swept
into the first round lead yes-
terday in the 40th Masters
golf championship.
"I'm getting that Augusta
feeling," the h a p p y Floyd
said after he reeled off a
string of four consecutive
birdies on the back nine and
came within one shot of the
all-time record for this, the
first of the year's four major
tests of golfing greatness.
FLOYD, 33 and in his 14th
season on the pro tour, reach-
ed three par five holes with
the new wood club he had
built especially for this tour-
nament and called that the
key to the effort that gave
him a one-stroke lead over
upstart Andy North.
North, a 6-foot-4, 26-year-
old Masters rookie who has
yet to win as a pro, played his
first competitive round over
the 7,030 yards of hills and
valleys, ponds and pines that
make up the Augusta Na-
tional Golf Club course, in
only 66 strokes and called it
a dream come true.
Both Floyd and North call-

NEW YORK - The National

backs dominating the opening
round.
After the expansionist Tampa
Bay and Seattle franchises se-

Selmon and Steve Niehaus to
get the drafttstarted, a half-
dozen runners w e r e chosen
through the remainder of the
first round.
NOT UNTIL the fourth round
were any Michigan players
chosen. Running back Gordon
Bell was selected by the New
York Giants as the twelfth pick!
in that round.
In the seventeenth pick of the
fourth round, the Buffalo Bills,

Wolverines (Paul Seymour and
Reggie McKenzie), tabbed de-

ANDY NORTH reacts to sinking a long putt to save his par
on the sixth hole, during yesterday's Masters. Shots like this
helped North to a first-round 66, one shot behind leader Ray
Floyd.

Selmon said his main con-
cern about the transition from
college to professional football
would involve technique.
SELMON WAS the fourth de-
fensive lineman in the last five
years to be the draft's No. 1
choice. The others were Walt
Patulski by Buffalo in 1972,
John Matuszak by Houston in
1973, and Ed "Too Tall" Jones
by Dallas in 1974. Atlanta broke
that string by choosing quarter-
back Steve Bartkowski last
year.
While Tampa was celebrating
the Selmon selection, Seattle
used almost all of its 15-minute
a 1 1 o t m e n t before making
Niehaus the draft's No. 2 pick.

towering trees-and the magnificent condi-
tion of the course major factors in their ex-
tremely low rounds.
And they needed all the help they could get.
JUST TWO SHOTS out of the lead with a
67 loomed the awesome figure of Jack Nick-
laus, the defending champion and the over-
whelming favorite to acquire a sixth title
in the tournament he had dominated for
more than a decade.
He was tied at five under par with happy-
go lucky Larry Ziegler, an avid hockey fan
and a member of the board of directors of
the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey
League.
Lou Graham, the reigning U.S. Open cham-
pion, was at 68, with veteran Dave Hill and
little Buddy Allin registering 69s.
Ben Crenshaw, who scored two consecutive
victories early in the season, managed a 70,
but some of the other great names of the

game had their difficulties with the swales
and mounds that characterize the fairways,
with the 'woods and water and the usually
difficult putting surfaces.
"A TYPICAL HUBERT Green Masters
putting round," snorted Green, the winner of
his last three starts. He had a 71 despite
three-putting the 12th, 13th and 14th greens.
,Tom Weiskopf, who chased Nicklaus to the
title last year in what has been called the
greatest golf tournament ever played, didn't
say anything. He declined an interview after
a struggling 73. Crenshaw, who played with
him, said Weiskopf was bothered by a hand
injury.
Lee Trevino, who once refused to play in
this tournament but now ranks a Masters
victory among his top career ambitions, put
himself a distant 10 shots back in the pack.
He simply couldn't make a putt on his way
to a 75.

VIE FOR 'TRIPLE CROWN'

Tn ckm en

By ERNIE DUNBAR
After an indoor season which
was capped by a Big Ten cham-
pionship, the Michigan track
team now focuses its attention
on the upcoming outdoor meets.
The Wolverines, winners of the
1975 Big Ten cross country title,
will begin their quest for a
track "triple crown" this after-
noon as they participate in the
Dogwood Relays in Knoxville,
Tennessee.
The switch to a greater va-
riety of events could be an ad-
vantage to the team.
"I don't hink we're going
to be hurt by the addition of
events in the outdoor season,"
said Michigan coach Jack
Harvey. "We'll get hurt in

By The Associated Press
Hank Aaron drove in three
runs with a pair of singles, back-
ing the four-hit pitching of Jim
Slaton and leading the Milwau-
kee Brewers to a 5-0 victory
over the New York Yankees yes-
terday in the American League
opener at Milwaukee.
Tony Perez, who has driven
in 90 or more runs in each of the
past nine seasons, knocked in
four with a two-run double, a
bases-loaded walk and an infield
out, helping the Cincinnati Reds
rout the Houston Astros 11-5 in
the National League opener.

some events like the discus,1
but we'll pick up some events
that we're strong in, such as
the steeple chase."
Michigan's strong contingent
of distance runners could bene-
fit the most by the addition of
longer events.
"Our distance runners like
Billy Donakowski and Mike Mc-
Guire are more geared to the
six mile," said assistant coach
Ron Warhurst," and Greg Mey-
er will be able to run his steep-
lechase sp~ecialty.
For the sprinters, the larger
track will provide a chance to
demonstrate their true poten-
tial.
"The outdoor season is an
advantage to the big man,"
said Harvey. "Guys like James
Grace and Jeff McLeod can
really get moving since they
aren't restricted by the tight
indoor turns."
Two fine indoor runners
who are question marks out-
doors are Doug Hennigar and
Dave Williams. Hennigar im-
proved tremendously in the
60 and 300-yard dashes in-
doors, and Harvey hopes he
continues that improvement.
Williams also has something:
to prove after a dismal outdoor
- season last year.
"We're going to run him in
some halves early in the year"
Harvey said "and then settle
him down and run him in the
quarter later in the year.
We're hoping this will enable
him to run some really good
quarters for late in the year,"
I he added.
At the Dogwood's, Michigan
will concentrate on the relay
events. The sprint medley,

mile relay, shuttle hurdle,
and four mile relay will be
stacked withrsome of the
team's best runners.t
In the sprint medley, Grace,
Henniger, McLeod, and Andy
Johnson will be teamed togeth-
er again. This is the same
group that set the indoor world
record in the event earlier in
the year.
The mile relay will be with-
out the services of Harlan
Huckleby (due to spring foot-
ball practice), but will get a
very capable substitute in Dave
Furst. Furst will join the reg-
ular team of Grace, Williams
and McLeod.
Kevin Briggs, Arnett Chis-
holm, Don Wheeler, and Charles
Crouther will attempt to con-
tinue their indoor success in
the shuttle hurdle relay. The
team was rated one of the tops
in the country indoors.
Michigan will run it's first
four mile relay of the year,
and will enter four of the
teams best milers. McGuire,
Donakowski, M e y e r, and
Steve Elliot will combine for
one of the Wolverine's strong-
est events.
