Blue host Big Ten
By JEFF LIEBSTER
Several conference records
appear to be in jeopardy as the
Big Ten Outdoor Track and
Field Championship Meet comes
to town this weekend.
Tighlighting this exciting ac-
tivity which begins Friday at
3 p.m., is the apnenrance of
many former ch-mpions and
some former Olvmmnniss, inclid-
ing 1936 winner of four gold
medals, Jesse Owens.
Up until the los' minute it
appeared as if there would be
quite a duel for the 100 yard
dash. Marshall Dill of Michi-
gan State and Lprry Burton of
Purdue, both of whom have
run it in 9.2, would h,'e almost
surely broken the conference
mark of 9.4 Both are also world
class 220 men.
Tuesday it was announced
that Burton, who had run the
200 meters for the United
States Olympic team in 1972,
suffered a pulled hamstring.
That opens the door for Dill, the
NCAA 220 champion, to domi-

CLEVELAND - Home runs
by Rico Petrocelli, Bernie Carbo
and Carlton Fisk powered the
Boston Red Sox to a 7-4 victory
over the Cleveland Indians last
night.

BALTIMORE - Earl Wil-
liams and Tommy Davis drove
in two runs apiece last night
and the Baltimore Orioles, strik-
ing for three runs in the third
inning, held on to beat Mil-
waukee 6-5, snapping the Brew-
ers' five-game winning streak.
Dave May put the Brewers in
front with a first-pitch homer
in the opening inning, his sixth
home of the baseball season,
but the Orioles tied it in the

Ann Arbor hoop fest
opens at Concordia
By JOHN KAHLER
Campy Russell may be go-
ing, but basketball lives on in
Ann Arbor, as the first annual
Ann Arbor basketball classic
kicks off play today at Concor-
dia Lutheran College at 4090
Geddes Road. Action starts at
six p.m. both today and tomor-
row.
For a nominal fee of one dol-
lar for students, two dollars for
others, you can see five basket-
ball games of two twenty min-
ute periods. The games will be
played under modified NBA
rules with some of the area's
top refs showing their stuff.
Today's play will feature the
opening games of the Open Di-
vision. Teems in this division
will be composed of NBA and
ABA players, former college
stars, and start street ballplay-
ers.
As an example, the Mt. Pleas-
ant entry features former Cen-
tral Michigan college hoop*
sters, including CMU's most
famous alumnus, Ben Kelso of
the Pistons. Benton Harbor will
also be fielding a team, and
there is a strong possibility na-
tive son Chet Walker will be on
it. Several teams are reported
to be sticking up on pro "ring-
ers", so there should be some
interesting names there.
The Open Division continues
on Friday, with the champion-
ship round scheduled on Sat-
urday starting at 10 a.m. Also
on Saturday will be the high
school one-on-one champion-
ship, as the top prep cagers of
the state battle against each
other.
The action comes to a cli-
max on S u n d a y, starting
at seven p.m., when the High
School All Star game ' begins.
Four teams will be fielded --
from Downstate and Upstate
Michigan, and Fort Wayne and
South Bend, Indiana.
The downstate team will be
built around All Staters Terry
Tyler, Turono Anderson, and
Tony Jamison from Detroit, and
Tony Smith of Saginaw. Upstate
Michigan responds with Jeff
Tropf of Holt, John Long of
Romulus, Robert James of
Grand Rapids, Joel Thompson
of Flint, and Dave Baxter of
Detroit. Thompson and Baxter
have already signed with Michi-
gan, so this game will give
Wolverine fans an opportuni'yto
see what sort of talent judge
Johnny Orr really is.
RICO PETROCELLI, Boston Red Sox' thirdbase man, offers to hell Cleveland's John Lowenstein
to his feet after the latter slide safely into thirdbase. Petrocelli was not so cordial toward Indian
pitching, however, as his home run helped the Red Sox upend the Indians, 74, last night.
