"Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, May 16, 1974 Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, May 16, 1974 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.

But Willie Horton smacked a two-run homer off Dick Tidrow in the fifth then tied the game in the seventh with a run-scor- ing single after Northrup walked and Kaline singled. BoSox blast 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. The Indians took a 2-0 lead off Boston's Juan Marichal on Oscar Gamble's bases - loaded single before the Red Sox struck Petrocelli tied the game with a two-run homer in the second inning. Carbo's homer supplied three runs in the third inning Yanks, 6-5 and knocked out Cleveland starter Steve Kline. For a look at some of the reasons why the Phlidaelphia Flyers lead the Boston Burins three games to one in the Stan- ley Cup playoffs check Page 11. Brewers burned 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 bottom of the first when Davis singled, took second on a wild pitch acid scored on Williams' single. 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.
