F p lor. 4 ----- ,7 I 4 I Ifo -w- -V Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, June 13, 1970 Of castoff By IRA HOFFMAN ELEVEN YEARS AGO, as a seven-year- old athletic native Detroiter, spring and Topp's baseball cards escalated my love of baseball and particularly the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers of 1959 were a fascinating conglomeration of castoffs, nondescripts, incompetents, and a few genuine stars. The infield at Brigg's Stadium had the saddest corps of occupants in any park in the American League. First base was shared by two non-Hall-of-Famers, Steve Bilko and Larry "Bobo" Osborn. Both were as exceptional a fielder as Mary Throneberry, and occassionally could hit as well as the now infamous original Met. The pivot man for those never-material- ized double-plays was Frank Bolling, who actually blossomed later as a Milwaukee Brave. THE THIRD basemen, noted for an Major's first since mate Moose's toss By The Associated Press SAN DIEGO - Dock Ellis, a 25-year-old Pittsburgh right- hander, battled his own wildness but pitched the first no-hitter of the 1970 season last night as the Pirates beat the San Diego Padres 2-0 in the opener of a twi-night double-header. Willie Stargell homered in the second and seventh for the Pi- rate runs and second baseman Bill Mazeroski protected the no- hitter with a great fielding play in the seventh. The Padres got one more run- ner in scoring position when Colbert walked to open the sixth and stole second with two out before a walk to Cannizzaro, but Ellis struck out Tommy Dean. It was Ellis' fifth win in nine decisions. The Padres hit some balls sharply but the closest they Lookin came to a hit was in the seventh Hayes when Mazeroski made a diving durong back-handed stab on pinch hit- can be ter Ramon Webster's low liner.

He walked walked eight, hit a batter and out and the Padres stole three bases. away. B incompetents-'59 Ben ngalis Sfr4itan D4at inexplicable ability to draw bases on balls, was "walking" Eddie Yost. Although a .270 hitter, Yost nevertheless was peren- nially among the leaders at drawing free passes and retired fifth in walks on the all-time major-league list. Shortstop was played by a scrappy little guy who always competed with Nel- lie Fox for the biggest wad of chewing tobacco in the left cheek during a reg- ulation game. Rocky Bridges was his name and it was listed on his baseball card that he hit .300 for Podunk in 1949. They also mentioned the night his wife had twins, he homered, or something like that. Last was, trivia-lovers, Reno Bertoia, utility-man extraordinaire. Reno never did make the starting line-up (demon- strating his ability). Considering the Tigers were last at the end of April (the hated Yankees were miraculously seventh in the pre-expan- -)hitter sion AL) and finished fourth (the Yank- ees third), it would seem that somewhere the battlin' Bengals had the players to compensate for their infield, or lack there of. THE SOLUTION was the outfield. On the Sunday in May when the Tigers Swept a doubleheader to.escape the cellar, left- fielder Charley "Paw Paw" Maxwell hit four consecutive home runs-one on his last at-bat in the first game and the other three on his next three trips to the plate. Called the "Sunday Slugger" for his sabbath slugfest, Charley led the team with 31 round-trippers. Center-fielder Harvey Kuenn placed second to Bridges in tobacco chewing, but led the American League in batting with a .353 average. Second in the Junior Cir- cuit with a .327 mark was 24-year-old right-fielder Al Kaline. Reserve specialist paces, for this trio was, again trivia lovers, Neil Crisley. Behind the plate, or at least noted for blocking it, crouched Lou Berberet. Lou won adoration when, in a game televised from Cleveland, he hit a 3-run blast, threw out Vic Power attempting to steal second, and tagged out Rocky Colavito who was barreling into home. JIM BUNNING, Frank Lary, and Don Mossi won 17 games apiece and lost 38 between them. They were supported by guys like Hank Aguire and Ray Narleski. The man who managed the Tigers into last place did not rank with Hughie Jennings or even Bucky Harris. And h was succeeded by the Casey Stengel of the Second Division-Jimmy Dykes. He never did get Detroit out of last place as Dykes took over on the day the Bengals climbed out of the basement. His name? Bill Nor- man.

By The Associated Press DETROIT - Jim Fregosi belted a pair of home runs and Billy Cowan hit another to pace the California Angels to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers last night. The Angels scored single runs in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth innings off John Hiller, then tagged reliever Dennis Saunders for another in the seventh. Fregosi belted a homer in the first, then connected again in the fifth for his ninth of the year. Cowan's homer led off the fourth.

Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE East By ROB BIER A special Senate Assembly committee will present a proposal to Assembly at its Monday meeting which would allow students time off next fall to engage in political activities during the upcoming political campaigns and elections. The committee's report also calls for the es- tablishment of a political information center, special courses, lectures or seminars dealing with various aspects of electoral politics and for pro- fessors to be encouraged to make allowances for those wishing to take part in campaigns or other political activities, The committee's plan for calendar revision would cancel classes on five days, September 30, October 1 and 2 and November 1 and 2. The first period coincides with the last days of the state voter registration period. The other two are Elec- tion Day and the day before. All five days off would be compensated for by holding classes on Labor Day, Friday and Satur- day after Thanksgiving and December 10 and 11, the first two of four presently scheduled study days. Although not all members of the student- faculty committee were in favor of calendar re- vision itself, there was general agreement that this plan was "optimal." Psychology Prof. Sylvan Kornblum, the main author of the plan, asserted that it did not lengthen the calendar, but only switched days off which already existed. Opposing calendar revisions this fall, educa- tion Prof. 'Claude Eggertsen said, "Maybe we should plan days off in future elections, but I can't back it now." He expressed the fear that passing something now when much of the faculty and most of the students are gone could result in an adverse reaction in the fall. "I can't see that many people getting that terribly upset over -what are really relatively minor changes," Kornblumn said. However, Stu- art Gannes, '70, replied that some students might not see the loss of their Thanksgiving vacation and half their study days as minor, and would reject the idea. Kornblum noted, however, that a full student input could not be obtained until fall, when it would be too late to make any calendar changes. Because of the time problem, the committee decided to go ahead "in view of the wide interest that students and faculty across the nation have expressed in having the opportunity to partici- pate in the November elections." If passed by Assembly Monday, the calendar revision would have to go to the Regents for approval.

Hundreds more were reported injured in the provinces where celebrations for Mexico's 1-0 victory over Belgium stretched into the early hours of the morning. Police reported several dozen cars had been stolen, and that a city bus, commandered by a group of youths, had also disappeared amid the frantic horn-honking, dancing and merry- making. The Red Cross .said the majority of those injured suffered leg fractures after falling from moving cars. Some cars carried to 20 or 25 per- sons sitting inside, on the roof and on the hood. Many of these injured were children. The only death officially recorded was that of Salomon Macedo Lozano 37, who appal fell from the roof of a car into the street. Police reported that 30 persons had jailed after fist-fights erupted at Azteca dium following the match. At a Mexico City night club several thoi irate persons tried to lynch an American in Mexico City, identified as William I Wimfatt, 21. Police said Wimfatt had dra gun at some of the revelers and firede shots. Meanwhile the Soviet Union wasd yesterday to play Uruguay in Azteca Stadii Mexico City tomorrow in a quarter-finals of the World Cup Soccer tournament. The complete draw for the quarter thus was: Mexico City-Uruguay vs. Soviet Union Toluca-Mexico vs. Italy. Guadalajara-Brazil vs. Peru. Leon-West Germany vs. England.

The statement was read by Newton Osborne, president of the graduating class, to the audience of 1500 which gathered in Hill Aud. It was endorsed later by the main speaker, John Knowles, whose candidacy for the nation's top health post sparked a con- troversy within the Nixon ad- ministration last year.- The statement cited "the many millions of our fellow Americans (who) are living at starvation levels - their lives shortened and the brains of their children stunted. "Our environment is exploited and polluted instead of protect- ed," the statement. continued. "Racism continues to be an in- tegral part of American society." "And yet," the statement add- ed, "the major part of our na- tional resources continues to be spent on war, wasting the pre- cious lives of our American brothers in pursuit of our mean- ingles political goals." Knowles, who is currently the general director of the Mas- sachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, said he agreed with the statement, but expressed confi- dence that "the crises of the seventies" will be solved. "We have survived (during other crisis periods) and will do so again," he said. Knowles warned of the "haz- ards of degeneration into a state of fascism," citing the violent demonstrations which have oc- curred on college campuses. "The only thing more fascistic than the far right is the far left, and they are virtually indis- tinguishable as far as I'm con- cerned," he said. 102 of the 189 medical school graduates wore green and red armbands embroidered with the peace symbol. There were no plans to stage a mass walkout from the com- mencement exercises, as has taken place at several major universities during the last two years. "What's important is that its a graduation, of medical stu- dents, who are generaly known for their conservatism," said Ed- win Carlson, '70Med, one of the organizers of the protest. The statement called upon the parents and relatives in the audience to "join us" in the stu- dents efforts to secure social, political, and economic reforms. "By working together, we just might succeed," the statement concluded. In his address, Knowles said that the major problems of the seventies were the redistribution and sharing of power, the easing of racial conflict, and the secur- ing of human dignity for all Americans. He praised "the vast majority of students who are struggling to make change in peaceful evo- lution, not bloody revolution," "They represent a major source of hope for peaceful change in this country today," Knowles said.
