Trackrnen bow to Purdue Angels' Johnson, Phillips feud
By DALE ARBOUR
Suffering from injuries, the
Michigan track squad dropped
its fifth dual meet of the year
this past Saturday. This loss
came at Purdue with a score of
90-64, and was quite a reversal
of last year when Michigan
swamped essentially the same
Purdue team by a 108-45 score.
The brightest events for Michi-
gan came with a 1-2 sweep in
the mile run and a 1-2 sweep in
the 120-yard high hurdles.
In the mile, Phil Pyatt led
teammate Rick Storrey most of
the way and cruised home with
a fine 4:08.4. Storrey, who later
finished third in the half mile,
finished second in 4:14.8.
In the high hurdles, Godfrey
Murray won the race, running
for the first time since injur-
ing his leg three weeks ago at
Penn Relays.
His time was a comparatively
slow :14.6, but was run against
a strong headwind. Second place
went to Mel Reeves of Michi-
gan in a time of :14.9.
Michigan's fine high jumper,
John Mann, captured another
first in his event, three-stepping
over the bar at 6-8 to easily de-
feat his opponents.
Mann, who cleared the seven
foot mark for the first time a
week ago against Illinois, also
competed Sunday at the Martin
Luther King Games in Philadel-
phia, taking fifth with a 6-8 leap.
Other Wolverine winners at
Purdue included Dave Eddy in
the three mile, Bob Mitchell in
the pole vault, and team captain
Lorenzo Montgomery in the 440-
yard dash.
Long jumpers George Gilchre.,t
and Mark Rosenbaum took sec-
and and third, respectively, in
the long jump, while Steve Rosen
copped the third spot in the triple
jump.
Although both teams captusad
nine first places, Purdue took
most of the second and third
places which provided them with
their margin of victory.
Due primarily to iniuries to a
few of their key performers, the
Wolverines were deficient in
either talent or depth in many of
the events.
The loss of Gene Brown in Ine
100- and 220-yard dashes was ap-
parent Saturday as Purdue swept
the 100 and placed 1-2 in the 220.
Michigan is particularly vulner-
able in the sprints without Brown
since he is their only sprinter.

ANAHEIM (P) - Alex John-
son, the taciturn outfielder who
won the American League bat-
ting title in 1970, has b e e n
benched by California Angels
Manager Lefty Phillips, w h o
terms the player's attitude "de-
fiant.'
"He's sitting down," declared
Phillips, "because us all-around
play and practice have not satis-
fied me. If he does not satisfy
me in his actions, I will not play
the man."
A year ago, in his first sea-
son with the Angels, Johnson
edged Carl Yastrzemski of Bos-
ton for the batting title with an
average of .3289 to .3281 for the

BEWARE!,
RIO DE JANEIRO (P) - A
washer woman, who said s h e
knew nothing about soccer, bet
38 cents and won $658,740 in
this week's Brazilian soccer
pools.
Sebastina Paulo Dias, who
lives in the central Brazilian
state of Goias near the federal
capital of Brasilia, made a per-
fect score in picking results
of 13 weekend.games.
Red Sox star. Two hits in three
trips to the plate in the final
game of the season provided the
slim edge.
Johnson currently bats .240,
but that's not the reason Phil-
lips benched him.
"Everyone else -works out,
tries to improve himself," t h e
manager says. "He ,doesn't. He
defies me."
Tabbed by many to win the
American League West, the
Angels currently rank only
third, six games behind the
Oakland Athletics.
During his first season with
the Angels, Johnson feuded with
some sports writers covering
the club and at one point chal-
lenged a teammate.
"Last year, I took m ore
heat from umpires over him
than from any other player I've
ever had," Phillips continued.
"I took it for a whole year and
I had to take it because I knew
they were right.
"I thought that this year, the
pride of being the league leader
would straighten him out. It
hasn't."
Johnson wasn't available af-
ter Phillips made his comments
Sunday, but during the spring
had said the title meant little
to him.
Since Johnson's bat was sup-
posed to play a major role in
the Angel's title bid this year,
Phillips was asked what t h e

club's chances might be with-
out it.
"We can play and win in as
many games without him as we
can with 30 or 40 per cent of his
talents," the skipper replied.
Two fielding plays on the
Angels' recent road trip par-
ticularly bothered Phillips.
On May 6 in Baltimore, Frank
Robinson went from first to
third on a ground single to left
and subsequently scored on a
sacrifice fly. The Angels man-
ager felt Robinson should have
been held to second base and
then could not have scored on
the sacrifice.
Three days later at Cleve-
land, a runner went from se-
cond to third after a short fly
ball and again the manager felt
alert play by Johnson could
have avoided the advance.
Asked when Johnson mi g h t
play again, Phillips answered:
"When I see fit."
49ers' Nolan
signs new pact
SAN FRANCISCO (A) - Dick
Nolan, who last season coached
the San Francisco 49ers to their
first National Football League
divisional title, was given a new
five-year contract yesterday.
No salary terms were disclosed
but it was indicated Nolan was
given a generous increase over
his old contract, which sdIl had
two years to run.
"What Dick Nolan has done
for the 49ers has made everyone
aware he is one of the finest
young coaches in professional
football," said Lou Spadia, club
president.
"This new contract is a real-
firmation of our conidence in
his leadership as well as airpre-
ciation for a job well done."
Nolan, 39, came to the 49ers
from the Dallas Cowboys.
"I'm certainly very happy with
the terms," said Nolan, who took
over the team in 1968 and
reached his goal of building
a title team within three sea-
sons.
