THE SUMMER' DAl LY

Strong Michigan effort gains
sixth place; key games today

special To The aily
PRINCETON - When the
sun finally came out yester-
day, it shone most brightly
on the Michigan t e n n i s
squad. At the end of yes-
terday's competition t h e
Wolverines were in sixth
place with 13 points, seven
behind leader UCLA, with a
good shot at fourth place.
Leading the Wolverine charge
was sixth seeded Victor Amaya
who advanced into the final 16
singles players with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-0
victory over Octavio Martinez of
Miami (Fla.). In Toesday's late
play, Amaya dumped Ollie Aqua-
ba of Clemson 6-0, 6-1.
Adding to the mounting Michi-
gan total was Jerry Karzen who
played some superb tennis before
bowing out of the tournament.
Karzen whipped DeArmand
Briggs of Arizona 6-7, 7-6, 6-2
with some fine volleying. Briggs
had defeated Karzen earlier this
year in the Winter Tournament
at Madison, Wisconsin, so Kar-
zen's fine showing has to be
considered a mild upset.
NCAA Tennis
Karzen's next victim was John
Schievar of Penn State 6-2, 7-6.
Yesterday, however, Karzen ran
into a bulldozer and was plough-
ed under. John Andrews the fifth
seed from Southern Cal, axed
the Wolverine 6-4, 6-2.
Michigan's doubles squads fol-
lowed the path blazed by the
Maize and Blue singles players
an won.
Amaya and Freddie De Jesus
won twice advancing into the
final sixteen. Yesterday they
clipped Pelide and Joshpelin of
Rice, 6-1, 6-1, and turned the
trick a g a i n s t Albertine and
Simms of LSU, 6-4, 6-1.
Michigan's s e c o n d doubles
team of Friedler and Dick Raver-
by won a two point match from
Dawson and Wetterman of Okla-
homa City 6-3, 4-6, 7-6. The Wol-
verine duo won the tie breaker
5-1. They met their match when
they faced the Cunningham's of
Arizona 6-7, 7-5, 6-3.
Today's matches are crucial
ones for the Wolverines and cen-
ter around the 6-6 Amaya. He
faces off against Dale Ogden of
Houston, whose Cougars lead the
Wolverines by just one point.
Amaya and De Jesus have a
gritty fight up-coming in today's
doubles match as well.
The Maize and Blue netters will
take on Alex Meyer, the number
one seeded singles star and his
partner Delancy of second place
Stanford in the doubles match.
Michigan coach Brian Eisner
was elated with the results.
Thoughethe team was expected
to do well, the quality of play
that both Karzen, the number
four singles player, and Friedler
have shown is quite encourag-
ing.
The team standings are fairly
b u n c h e d up. After Stanford
comes yet another California
school, Southern Cal with 18
points. Trailing behind were
H o u s t o n, Southern Methodist,
Michigan and Miami (Fla.).

NO, JIM NORTHRUP, you're not going to score today. Dave Duncan has the ball and all your turning and twisting will get you no-
where. The Tigers' turning and twisting got them nowhere as they lost to the Indians 7-6 on a ninth inning single by their new
nemesis, George Hendrick.
OH, THOSE A.L. RACES
Hendrick haunts Tigers, 7-6

From wire service Reports
CLEVELAND-If George Hen-
drick doesn't make the Tiger All-
Opponent team this year, some-
thing is awry.
The silent outfielder, who stung
the Tigers for three home runs
Tuesday, was up to his old tricks
yesterday as he knocked in the
winning run with nobody out in
the ninth inning, giving the Cleve-
land Indians a 7-6 victory.
Hendrick's blow came with
mates Buddy Bell and Rusty
Torres aboard, with no one out
in the home side's final frame.
After fouling off a couple of Tiger
relief hurler Bill Slayback's of-
ferings, Hendrick lashed the ball
down the left field line to score
Bell.
THE TIGERS had forced the
game into the bottom half by
scoring twice in the top half of
the frame. Eddie Brinkman sin-
gled and Mickey Stanley deliver-
ed a triple. Reliever Jerry John-
son, who had balked in the win-
ning run against the Tigers ear-
lier this year, sent the game a
little longer when he allowed
Stanley to score on a wild
pitch.
But all was for naught as
Cleveland marched back in the
final stanza.
The Indians, whose sticks have
been sickly of late, started off
the scoring in the second and
John Ellis hammered his fourth
home run in the third.
The Bengals came quickly back
on a home run by Willie Horton
with one aboard.
Back came the Indians in this
see-saw game, knicking Tiger
hurler Joe Coleman for three
runs. The rally started with sin-
gles by Leo Cardenas and Bell.
With one out, the ubiquitious
Hendrick walked and Ellis, Char-
lie Spikes and Dave Duncan fol-
lowed with singles. Hendrick hit
a home run in the seventh to lift
the Indian advantage to 6-2.

rin LaGrow gne. the Ti ers bull-

pen has been aching and the non-
stopping performances of Mike
Strahler and Bill Slayback prove
the point adequately. Neither
could throw strikes and neither
could get the ground ball.
So what the Indians needed,
after all, was a look at the Ben-
gal pitching staff and what the
Tigers didn't need was a look at
George Hendrick.
Yanks in first
NEW YORK - Designated
hitter Jim Ray Hart boomed a
two-run double and Sparky Lyle
rescued Mel Stottlemyre from
an eighth - inning jam last night
to carry the New York Yankees
to a 2-1 victory over the Balti-
more Orioles.
Stottlemyre, 9-6. had a bril-
liant one - hitter going - Bobby
Grich's scratch single in the fifth
inning being the only hit before
the Orioles mounted their first
serious threat in the eighth.
In came Lyle to record his
18th save of the season. Lyle has
saved the Yanks' last 11 victor-
ies.
New York got. its runs in the
seventh inning off Mike Cuel-
lar, 3-7. Roy White walked but
was forced at second by Matty
Alou. Bobby Murcer then sin-
gled Alou to third and Hart fol-
lowed with a long double to left-
center field, driving in both runs.
Twins not,
BLOOMINGTON - Sonny Sie-
bert hurled a six-itter and Vic
Harris tripled to drive in two
runs last night as the Texas

Rangers knocked Minnesota out
of first place in the American
League West with a 3-0 victory
over the Twins.
SIEBERT, 4-6, struck out seven
batters and walked one in his
first complete game of the sea-
son, which dropped Minnesota
one-half game behind the Chicago
White Sox. He also snapped Rod
Carew's 18-game hitting streak.
Harris delivered the key hit off

Dick Woodson, 5-4, with one out
in the second inning after Jim
Spencer walked and Jeff Bur-
roughs singled. He tripled again
in the ninth and scored on Ken
Suarez' single.
Cubs are
PITTSBURGH-Rick Reuschel
withstood a pair of homers by
Pittsburgh's Willie Stargell to win
his ninth game of the season and
Jose Cardenal singled home two
first-inning runs, leading the Chi-
cago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over
the staggering Pirates last night.
Brewers aren't
MILWAUKEE-Rick Miller and
Reggie Smith belted home runs
and Bill Lee scattered nine hits,
leading the Boston Red Sox to a
3-2 triumph over the Milwaukee
Brewers last night.
