You have your athletes who
never make it big in the
collegiate ranks, you have your
collegiate stars who mysteriously
disappear from notoriety after
graduation ... and then you
have Mark Churella.
Churella, (left), a three-time
NCAA wrestling champion at
Michigan, won two matches in his
163-pound weight division at the
Soviet Union's Spartacade
Games before being eliminated.
He'll serve as an assistant coach
on this year's Wolverine squad
and prepare for next year's
Olympics, which will also take
place in Moscow.

It's doubtful whether Purdue
football coach Jim Young,
(right), peruses the annual pre-
season pigskin bible known as
"The Really Big Ten," but he
might find the 1979 annual issue
quite refreshing. The panel of
conference football experts
picked his Boilermakers to win
the title and a trip to the Rose
Bowl. Michigan was picked
second, followed by Ohio State
and Michigan State. On their last
journey to Pasadena (1967), the
Boilermakers edged Southern

Indians 6, Red Sox 5
CLEVELAND - Gary Alexander
slammed a pinch home run and Victor
Cruz pitched three and one-third in-
nings of strong relief to pace Cleveland
to a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox
last night, extending the Indians' win-
ning streak to eight games.
Alexander led off the eighth inning
with his 13th home run, hit deep into the
left field stands off Boston reliever Tom
Burgmeier, (2-1). Bobby Bonds gave
Cleveland its eventual winning run
later inthe inning with a sacrifice fly.
Bonds had given the Indians a 4-2 lead
in the fourth inning when he drove a
two-run home run, his 17th, off Boston

derson before Craig Swan singled to
score Norman from third.
The victory went to Pirates reliever
Grant Jackson, (6-2), with Kent
Tekulve collecting his 18th save.
Dwight Bernard, (0-2), was the loser.

KERN GOT into trouble in the top of

his game-winning fly ball. The Tigers

Kern on Jerry Morales' RBI single.
