Wednesday, May 12, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Eleven I Wolverine batsmen crush WMU, 5-i The rainclouds that dimmed the skies over Fischer Stadium yesterday afternoon failed to dim the brilliance of Wolverine pitcher Mickey Elwood and his slugging teammates as they de- feated a tough Western Mich- igan team 5-1 in a non-confer- ence clash. Elwood, who went the whole way, allowed only five hits, while the Michigan team pounded out 11 against three Western pit- chers en route to their 17th vic- A tory of the season. The Wolverine pitcher gave up Western's solo run in the sev- enth inning when Western cen- terfielder Dick Cox made it safe- ly to first base on a grounder to shortstop Mike Rafferty, Following Ken Ottie's fly ball to right field, shortstop Greg Geyer walked. Then Dave Rice, who had come into the game to relieve starting pitcher Brian Sullivan, lifted a single to centerfield scoring Cox. Scott Kemple then struck out to end the inning. Elwood was in trouble at only one other point in the game, during the first inning when the first two batters to face him got on base. Kemple led off the inning with a single through second and shortstop Felix Skal- ski bunted successfully.. After getting the next two batters, allowing Kemple to reach third on a force play, El- wood unloaded a wild pitch moving Skalski to second, and then got catcher Roger Cook Pro hoopmen schedule NBA-ABA all-star tilt to pop up to end the inning and the Western threat. After that shaky beginning, until the seventh, Elwood was in in complete command, allowing only one other hit in the fifth to Ottie. The Michigan team had its big inning in the sixth, scor- ing two runs on three hits and a bases-loaded walk. Sullivan started the rally with a sharp single into the hole in right field. Following a popup to the Western third baseman. by Mike DeCou, Wolverine cat- cher Dan Mulvihill also dropped a single into right. Rafferty unloaded a solid single into left center scoring Sullivan, going to second on the throw and bouncing Western pitcher Sullivan from the game. Reliever Rice promptly hit se- cond baseman Mike Kocolowski with his first pitch to load the bases and then walked Elwood to score the second run of the inning. Mike Carrow then grounded to short to end the inning. Earlier in the game Sullivan got off to a bad start, leading AIRPORT LIMOUSINES for information call 971-3700 Tickets are available at Travel Bureaus or the Michigan Union 32 Trips Day off the first inning with a walk to Carrow who made it to third base on a steal attempt in which the catcher overthrew the second baseman, followed by a long fly to right field by Leon Roberts. The Wolverine third baseman subsequently scored on a single by Sullivan through second. In the third the Michigan team picked up another run as right- fielder Mike Bowen pounded a triple down the first base line just inside the foul line and scored on a Leon Roberts chop- per to the shortstop. The Wolverines added one final tally in the eighth inning, as Mike DeCou dumped a single into right center, moving to third NEW YORK (P) - The Na- tional Basketball Association players openly defied the league's club owners again yesterday by announcing plans to play an all- star game with the rival Ameri- can Basketball Association in the Houston Astrodome, May 28. The game, which will match Il-man all-star teams from the two leagues, was scheduled by agreement of the players in the ABA and NBA despite the fact club owners had barred such an event until formal merger of the warring leagues. Only last week the owners of the two leagues agreed to seek Congressional legislation sanc- tioning such a merger. The NBA Players Association has been fighting the merger and current- ly has a court injunction in force barring any amalgamation. Oscar Robertson of the NBA champion Milwaukee B u c k s, president of the players associa- tion, said the game was being put on because there was a demand from the fans and to show tat it could be put on without a merger. "The super game," said Rob- ertson, "will show that tis two pro leagues can play agyai'st each other at the highest com- petitive level without an ilegal merger. The owners refused to present any game between the * two leagues without such x merger. But with such refusal. the owners' sole motivation be- comes clear-money. NBA Commissioner Walter XIn- nedy and ABA Commis ioner Jack Dolph declined comment on the situation. ABA Commissioner Jack Dolph said the league would "take steps to stop our players from partici- pting if it is decided the game on a wild throw that got by the second baseman. With Greg Buss running for De- Cou, Rafferty lined a double into left center to score Buss. Mike Kocolowski then flew out to the centerfielder Cox who made a fine grab, and Elwood ended the inning with a grounder to second. The Wolverines now head into their final homestand of the sea- son as they host Northwestern Friday in a double header, and Wisconsin Saturday In another twinbill in important conference action. The Wolverines are now 17-10 in regular season play with a 4-4 mark in the conference. would be detrimental to the league, which we have not." Dolph also revealed he had told the ABA's It member clubs to "not grant permission to the play- ers to participate prior to league consideration and approval." The net gate receipts from the game will go to the newly estab- lished Whitney Young Founda- tion, which directs funds to pro- grams that prepare ghetto youths for college. The television re- ceipts will go to supplement the pension plans of the players in the two leagues. A share of the television re- ceipts also will go to the partici- pating players. Robertson said the players had not yet decided on a figure, but the winner's would get more than the losers. and hs ; MADDOGS ENGUSHNENj NOW' 3 NOW! 7:30-9:30 375 N MAPLE R0. --- --------COUPON----------- a a , a f f I * f a , SUBMARINES " IN TRODUCES HIS "BALL PARK FRANKS" YANK-with cheese GLADIATOR-with chili 5jmustard-ketchup-onions * added as you wish 342 s.

In the first grade, when you were taught to read "Run Spot Run," you had to read it out loud. Word-by-word. Later, in the second grade, you were asked to read silently. But you couldn't do it. You stopped reading out loud, but you continued to say every word to yourself. Chances are, you're doing it right now, This means that you read only as fast as you talk. About 250 to 300 words per minute. (Guiness' Book of World Records lists John F. Kennedy as delivering the fast- est speech on record: 327 words per minute.) The Evelyn Wood Course teaches you to read without mentally saying each word to yourself. Instead of"reading one word at a time, you'll learn to read groups of words. To see how natural this is, look at the dot over the line in bold type. grass is green You immediately see all three words. Now look at the dot between the next two lines of type. and it grows when it rains With training, you'll learn to use your innate ability to see groups of words. As an Evelyn Wood graduate, you'll be able to read between 1,000 and 3.000 words per minute . . . depending on the difficulty of the material. At 1,000 words per minute, you'll be able to read a text book like Hofstadtler's American Political Tradition and finish each chapter in 11 minutes. At 2,000 words per minute, you'll be .able to read a magazine like Time or News- MINI-LESSONS: WEDNESDAY, May 12 Mixed Bowling League SUMMER RATES win a SIGN UP NOW!
