Hayes suffers heart attack
From Wire Service Reports
COLUMBUS-Ohio State Uni-
versity football Coach Woody
Hayes was in stable condition
in University Hospital yester-
day after complaining of chest
pains.
Neither hospital spokesmen
nor Hayes' personal physician
would specaulate whether the
61-year-old Hayes, who ranks
second among active college
coaches in the number of vic-
tories, had suffered a heart at-
tack.
"It will be three days before
any definite diagnosis can be
made," Dr. Robert J. Murphy
said yesterday morning. Mur-
phy doubles as the Ohio State
football team doctor and Hayes'
personal physician.
IT DID NOT take quite that
long to make the diagnosis.
Late yesterday afternoon a hos-
pital spokesman was quoted as
saying that Hayes had, indeed,
suffered a heart attack.
"His situation is stable," the
hospital source said. "He should
be able to resume coaching af-
ter he leaves the hospital."
"I saw him (Hayes) as late
as last week," Murphy said.
"In general, he's in robust
health."
HAYES, IN the midst of pre-
paring for his 24th season at
Ohio State, was bothered by
chest pains early Thursday.
Murphy said he was summon-
ed to Hayes' home and 'de-
cided to atmit him." Hayes vas
admitted to University flos-
pital's Coronary Care Unit at
8 a.m. EDT.
A well informed source states
that Hayes balked at entrang

IT IS ALWAYS sad to watch the decay of a once competent base-
ball team. The sixty thousand very odd people who paid their
way into Tiger Stadium earlier this week witnessed one of the
biggest bummers in Motor City history. The Tigers are dead.
The Detroit Tigers have been written off many times before,
only to confound the world by getting hot and surging back into
contention. But this time the long delayed Bengal collapse is
finally upon us, and not even George Kell can hide the sad fact.
In their recently completed series with the Oakland Ath-
letics, the Tigers proved that there are four things of a key nature
that they cannot do very well - hit, pitch, field and run. The A's
found they didn't have to work hard to take two of three.
Bengal batters could only manage 11 safeties in three games
against assorted A's pitchers. This state becomes even more de-
pressive when it is considered that three batters - Al Kaline, Wil-
lie Horton and Mickey Stanley - were responsible for seven of
these hits. The rest of Detroit's hitless wonders wasted their time
wearing a deadline in the grass between home plate and the Tiger
dugout.
Oakland's batters were not exactly lacing the ball, either. But
then they didn't have to, since the Tiger pitchers were providing
them with free trips to first base.
Mickey Lolich and Joe Coleman, deuces who pose as aces on
this staff, continually got themselves in trouble by putting people
on via bases on ball, and then surrendering a key hit to drive these
runners home. Lolich wasted a fine twelve strikeout effort by his
inability to stop giving up free passes.
All in all, the A's did not face
major league opposition during
their stay in Detroit. But Ralph
Hook is not concerned. After
Coleman made a quick exit
Wednesday night, the major
was heard to say, "Coleman
had good stiff. When you have
good stuff, you're going to give
up a lot of walks."
With the stuff Coleman was
throwing that night, it was for-
tunate that Coleman was walk-
ing a lot of batters, since the
free passes limited them to one
base at a time. Bt that didn't
matter to the "Miracle Major."
Ever since failure ran him .
out of New York, Houk has been
exuding confidence and opti- "ira *,' Ajr"
mism to all who would listen, "
especially those with reorter's
notebooks in their hands. To
him, it really didn't matter that M a~r ..eagi
the Tigers have not brought in L
any new blood since the Denny American League
McLain trade. "We have the
material here to be a winner." East

into the ambulance that pulled
up to his home to take him to
the hospital. "No way are you
going to get me in that damned
thing," Hayes shosted at doc-
tors who were trying to con-
vince him that the trip was for
his own good.
HAYES' ILLNESS took his
coaching staff by surprise.
"I telephoned him at home
around eight last night," re-
called tackle coach Ralph Stab.
"He was in good spirits."
George Hill, Hayes' No. 1
assistant, said he also talked to
Hayes Wednesday night. "He
was talking about what we were
going to do Friday. As far as I
know, he's never missed a day
of work."
Hayes and his staff were
winding up their spring football
reports this week before going
on vacation.
WIDELY despised in Ann Ar-
bor, the colorful Buckeye men-
tor has a good claim to being
the top coach in the land. His
famous "three yards and a
cloud of dust" philosophy may
not make for the most enter-
taining game to watch, but it
has generated its imitators
throughout the Big Ten, most
notably Bo Schembechler.
tHyes also possesses one of
the more distinctive thought
patterns in the nation, believ-
ing himself at times to be Gen-
eral Patton. He also has a repu-
tation of being a tyrant with
his olayers and with reporters,
but his most recent trip to the
Rose Bowl seemed to indicate
that he might be mellowing.
A tireless worker and met cu-
lous planner, Hayes has 192 ca-
reer college victories, ;ecoid
only to Alabama's Paul "Bear"
Bryant.
IN 31 SEASONS of high schiol
and college coaching, he has
211 triumphs, 70 defeats and
nine ties.
Hayes has coached longer
than any of his predecessors at
Ohio State, infamous as an in-
tellectual graveyard. His OSU
record is 159-49-8, including
three national championships.
WOODY HAYES collects his thoughts before the Michigan-Ohio
State game played last November. The Olentangy Maestro was
stricken with a heart attack yesterday morning.

as Toby Harrah led off with a
single and advanced to third on
an error. Jim Fregosi's RBI
single made it 2-0. Tovar was

ry over the California Angels.
George Scott, who had dou-
bled home three runs in the
first inning, began the uprising
in the seventh with another
double. After a walk, Charlie
Moore doubled home Scott for a
7-7 tie. An intentional walk
filled the bases, setting up the
single by Hegan,
Cards blown
SAN FRANCISCO - Pinch-
batter Chris Arnold's two-run
triple and Gary Matthews'
wind - blown, three - run double
sparked a seven-run, fourth-
inning rally that lifted the San
Francisco Giants to a 9-5 vic-
tory over the St. Louis Cardi-
nats.
One - out singles by Gary
Thomasson and Bruce Miller
triggered the seven-run fourth
off Lynn McGlothen, 7-3. Arnold
belted his triple with two out
and Bobby Bonds' run-scoring
single made it 3-3.
Bonds stole second, took third
on a wild pitch and scored the
go-ahead run on Mike Phillips'
single. Steve Ontiveros belted a
ground-rule double on a ball
misjudged by left fielder Brock,
chasing McGlothen.
Reliever Rich Folkers walked
Ed Goodson, loading the bases,
and Matthews hit a fly to short
center. The wind kept blowing
the ball toward the infield and
it dropped for a bases-clearing
double.
Reds ripped
NEW YORK - John Milner
crashed a lead-off homer against
reliever Pedro Borbon in the
eighth inning lifting the New
York Mets to a 4-3 victory over
the Cincinnati Reds.
Milner's shot, his ninth of
the season, cracked a 3-3 tie
after the Mets had come from
behind with two runs in the
seventh on Cleon Jones' single
to tie the game.
With two out in the seventh,
Ed Kranepool batted for Met
starter Tom Seaver and singled
to left. Bud Harrelson also
singled, then New York loaded
the bases when Felix Millan
beat out a hit behind second
base.
Jones followed with his line
single to center that chased Cin-
cinnati starter Roger Nelson.
Borbon came on and got Rusty
Staub to bounce to first
