Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, June 23, 1971 Bengals, Birds salvage splits A. Track mentor Martin resigns coaching job While Wolverine track hopes were still riding high with a surprisingly strong fifth place finish in the Big Ten outdoor finals but a few weeks old, Michigan's track fortunes experienced a startling blow yesterday as the athletic depart- ment announced the resignation of head Wol- verine track coach, Dave Martin. Martin, 34, had coached the team since 1968, when he took over the reins from Don Canham who was appointed athletic director. Previously Martin had served as Canham's assistant. Martin's track record with the Wolverines, however, was an old one, as the Michigan mentor had a fine career as a member of the Wolverine team, after a year at Miami of Ohio, while ob- taining his bachelor's degree in business admin- istration. A distance man, named an NCAA All-Ameri- can his senior year, Martin still holds the varsity record in the 3000 meter steeple chase. Following his career at Michigan, Martin con- tinued his running under Mihaly Igloi of the Los Angeles Track Club, ran in the first sub-four minute indoor mile and broke the existing record for the 1320 yard run, before returning to Michi- gan. This past year Martin guided the injury- plagued Wolverines to an eighth place finish in- doors while capturing the fifth spot outdoors. As to what he intends to do in the future, Martin admits that he is yet undecided. He hopes to stay with the University, perhaps in an ad- ministrative capacity. In speaking of his decision to leave the Wol- verine coaching corps, he revealed that "I had been thinking about it for eight or nine months. Though I enjoyed my fifteen or sixteen years in track, I decided that I'd like to find something new and different at the age of 34." While the athletic department "~as yet to name a successor for him, Martin spoke of the problems he will be ceding to his replacement, mainly "try- ing to beat Wisconsin and Indiana," teams he admits have lost a number of players but still are a threat. NEW YORK - Stan Bahn- sen, staked to a pair of runs in the first inning, hurled his sixth consecutive complete game vic- tory yesterday, giving the New York Yankees a 2-1 triumph over Detroit and a split of their doubleheader. The Tigers jumped on Mel Stottlemyre and two relievers for five runs in the ninth inning to win the opened 7-4. The Yankees nicked Joe Cole- man, 6-4, for both their runs in the first inning. Jerry Kenney doubled with one out and scored on Bobby Murcer's single. Mur- cer stole second with two out and came home on a single by Jake Gibbs. Bahnsen, 7-6, who has yielded. only 32 hits in his six straight victories, allowed Detroit's run in the third. Mickey Stanley singled, raced around to third on a wild pitch and crossed on Eddie Brink- man's sacrifice liner to center. Bahnsen finished with a sev- en-hitter. Siebert wins 100th B O S T O N - Sonny Siebert tossed a six-hitter for his 10th victory of the season and the 100th of his major league ca- reer, earning the Boston Red Sox a 2-0 victory over the Cleve- land Indians and a split of their last night doubleheader. The Indians won the opener 9-3 with a seven-run sixth in- ning explosion featuring pinch- hitter Frank Baker's bases-load- ed double and a pair of hits by rookie Chris Chambliss. Siebert, who had been trying in vain for the century mark since beating Oakland's Vida Blue on May 28th, was in con- trol all the way as he struck out six, walked two and didn't allow a runner past second base. George Scott's two-run homer in the fourth inning gave the veteran right-hander the only runs he needed as he tossed his third shutout of the season and hiked his record to 10-4. Mets mash Bues PITTSBURGH - Danny Fris- ella shut off a ninth inning Pittsburgh rally and saved rook- ie Charlie Williams' victory as the New Tack Mete trimmed the Pirates 3-2 Tuesday night. Williams had the Pirates shut out on a three-hitter with two out in the ninth when Roberto Clemente beat out an infield- single for his third hit. Willie Stargell doubled him home and then Al Oliver singled for an- other run, knocking out Wil- liams. F'isella came on to nail Ri- chie Hebner for the final out, leaving the tying run stranded. The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the third inning off Priate start- er Jim Nelson, 1-2. Williams walked, took second on a single by Bud Harrelson and scored on a single by Cleon Jones. Kuhn denies Angel probe NEW YORK (P) - Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn ve- hemently denied yesterday a report that he was investigating incidents of guns in major league dressing rooms other than the California Angels. "We ought to nip that report in the'bud," Kuhn said, " it is absolutely untrue." Kuhn said he had beesi in touch with the California club over an alleged gun incident in- volving Alex Johnson and Chico Ruiz. "They are conducting their own investigation and keeping use informed," the commission- er said. "I have made no in- quiries or investigations of any other teams. fir WHATABOUT THE WOLVERINES? Devaney tabs grid contenders LUBBOCK, Tex. (AP)-College football's winningest coach, Bob Devaney, feels the chances are slim that his Nebraska corn- huskers can repeat as national champions this year. But, he quipped, it is not like- ly that Cornhusker fans share this view. "I would say another national championship would be a real Ai aims barbs at Frazier NEW YORK ()-Muhammad Ali built up his fight against Jimmy Ellis and knocked down heavyweight champion Joe Fra- zier-verbally-at a news con- ference yesterday. And, in between Ali's predic- tions and quips, Madison Square Garden Boxing announced that it will hold a 10-round middle- weight bout between former champion Emile Griffith and Nessim "Max" Cohen as part of its televised showing of the Ali- Elis 12-rounder. "I feel no different being the former champion," Ali said. "I still draw crowds. Frazier can't draw flies anywhere." He also said that he plans to have two more fights after Ellis before fighting Frazier again next year. shot in the dark at this time," said Devaney, who is coaching the West team in the Coaches All America game here Satur- day night. In fact, he added, "I think it would be very improbable. I think the squad attitude is good enough that they feel that they can win any game they go into, but I think as coaches we've got some real problems to settle be- fore we can be strong contend- ers even for the Big Eight cham- pionship." Devaney said Nebraska lost some very outstanding players from the undefeated 1970 team that capped his campaign with a 17-12 triumph over Louisiana State in the Orange Bowl. "Nebraska has a good football team and we've got quite a few returning veterans," Devaney continued, but a p ri n g drills failed to produce replacements for a number of key players. "In other words," he said, "we don't have a guy at the present time who looks to be the caliber of Joe Orduna, who we lost as a running back. Touching briefly on national championship contenders, De- vaney said: "I think you've always got to consider the University of Texas. They've developed over the last eight or 10 years a tremendously strong team year in and year out. "Also, Notre Dame, Southern California, and I think Penn State will be coming back. I also believe some Big Eight teams certainly will be under consideration. "And a lot of people think Tennessee has a great football team returning, so these are just a few guesses around the country." * Professional League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W L Pet.
