Sindei
BOSTON AP) - Harry Sinden,
young coach of the Boston Bruins,
pulled a surprise yesterday by
quiting the National H o c k e y
League club only four days after
leading it to a first Stanley Cup
in 29 years.
The 37-year-old Sinden, who
helped lift the Bruins from last
place to the Stanley Cup in just
four seasons as coach, stepped out
Michigan netters won all their
matches in the opening rounds
of the Big Ten championships
in Minnesota. In doubles, Jon
Hainline and Mark Conti1
downed Illini Chip Clemente
and Tom Dulap, 6-3, 6-3. Joel
Ross and Tim Ott beat Jim
Ebbits and Dave Sterns of
Minnesota, 6-1, 6-1. Bruce De-
Boer and Dan McLaughlin
teamed to trounce Doug Con-
nant and Ken Cohen of North-
western, 6-3, 6-1.
In singles, Ramon Almonte
took StevesEhlers of Iowa by
6-1, 6-1 scores. Other single
matches were rained out.

disappointed when they learned
Coach Harry Sinden had quit to
enter private business.
"We are losing a damn good
man," said defenseman Bobby Orr,
a National Hockey League Super-
star who won four of the league's
six major awards this season. "We
did the playing, but he was there{
with us working every night.
"He must have got a good deal
to leave. You know, it's a tough
job. I don't think I'd want to be
a coach. If anything goes wrong,
you are the one they go after."
Center Dereck Sanderson said
he hopes Sinden reconsiders, which
is unlikely.
"To lose him as a coach is se-
rious," Sanderson said. "It's a
blow to all of us. A new coach
won't be able to handle the club
like Harry. I hate to see him, go.
He's the best coach I have ever!
played for."
High-scoring Phil Esposito call-
ed Sinden "a super coach." He
added: "He certainly did a great
job with this club. I am very dis-
appointed."

Gerry Cheevers, who developed
into a top goalie under Sinden in
the minor leagues, expressed dis-
belief.
"How can a guy quit when's he's
on top?" Cheevers asked. "I just
don't understand it."
Schmidt, who said he did not
learn of Sinden's resignation plans
until Wednesday afternoon, plans
to launch a search for a new
coach immediately.
He said he had "no ideas" about
a new coach, but would go looking
among NHL clubs and their af-
filiates for a top man. He added
he hopes to sign a new coach be-
fore the NHL draft in June.

Sinden's contract ran out after
the Bruins completed a four-game
sweep of St. Louis for the Stanley
Cup Sunday afternoon. However,
there was no indication then he
would give up his post with the
team.
He insisted there was "nothin
but amiable relations" between
him and the Bruins' management.
General Manager Milt Schmidt
said that "money had absolutely
nothing to do" with the resigna-
tion.
However, reports persisted that
Sinden and the Bruins were un-
able to reach terms on a new con-
tract. One possibility was that
Sinden wanted a multi-year agree-
ment. This has not been the
Bruins' policy.
Sinden said he regretted leaving
hockey after 17 years in the sport.
However, he said he had an "ex-
ceptional opportunity" and is
"going on to exciting new chal-
lenges and opportunities in mass
residential construction."
Sinden began his hockey career
as an amateur player in Canada.
He played on the 1958 Canadian
national team which defeated
Russia for the World Amateur
Championship.

championship, were surprised and

Michigan seeks team firsts

proval in March to an 11th foot-
ball game, sanctioned by the
NCAA beginning this season. But
the action requires review by each
conference school.
Conference officials apparently
hit a snag yesterday on several
points, including the fact that four
schools already have booked an ex-
tra conference game for 1971 and
the question of whether the 11th
game should be added at the start
or the end of the season.
The four schools - Wisconsin,
Northwestern, Purdue and Iowa
already have been told by Reed
their 11th game in 1971 could be
a nonconference contest if so de-
sired.
Seattle gets future franchise;
Rhodesia leaves Davis Cup
By The Associated Press
0 NEW YORK - American League owners voted last night to
give Seattle another baseball franchise 'if and when" the league
expands in the future, The Associated Press learned.
The unanimous vote was taken at a closed-door meeting on the
eve of a joint session of the major league owners here.
The action by the AL owners appeared to be an attempt to stop a
threatened $82-million suit by the city of Seattle against baseball
and the American League because of the recent franchise switch
to Milwaukee.

Three of the Big Ten's four
spring sports determine conference
championships t h i s weekend.
Michigan teams travel to golf at
Illinois, tennis at Minnesota, and
track at Indiana.
The tennis squad yesterday be-
gan its drive for a third straight
conference championship. (See
box this page.)
During the season, the netters
swept through nine straight con-
ference dual meets and registered
66 of a possible 81 points. How-
ever, since the Ohio State tennis
meet points are being erased from
opponent's records, Michigan will
,. ,as all-sports
hangs in balance
Michigan appears assured of
another all-sports trophy for its
showing in the 1969-70 season.
With only spring sports yet to be
decided, Michigan holds a com-
manding lead over challengers
Michigan State and Ohio State.
Michigan has a 7.7 average,
based on a 10-for-first, 9-for-sec-
ond descending criterion, for seven
sports completed so far. Michigan
State has a 6.8 and Ohio State a
6.7 average.
The completed sports are foot-
ball, basketball, swimming, wres-
tling, gymnastics, hockey, and In-
door track. Michigan and MSU
competed in all seven, and OSUI
took part in all but hockey.
Michigan's 7.7 average repre-
sents close to a third-place aver-
age for each sport. However, this
is somewhat lower than preceding
years when Michigan won the all-
sports trophy with averages of 8.5
and up.
Michigan has claimed the
trophy eight of the last 10 year.
Overall the conference teams are
more balanced this year. Michigan
State is second with 6.8 and Il-
linois ninth with 4.4, Northwest-
ern is last with 3.5.
No team has won more than one
conference title outright so far
this season. But Michigan's cham-
pionship in gymnastics and co-
championship in football is better
than any other team.
Michigan will likely add one
more outright title-in tennis-to
its repertoire. Only disasters in
golf, track and baseball could pre-
vent Michigan from taking the
trophy.
Ex-editor convicted
Jim Forrester, Daily Associ-
ate Sports Editor 1969-70, was
convicted yesterday of creating
a contention, a charge stem-
ming out of the protests against
the General Electric Corporation
on Feb. 18.
Forrester felt he was very
ably represented by David Gold-
stein but noted, "It's extremely
difficult to obtain a fair trial
when no one that even looks
like a peer sits on the jury
panel."
Forrester's sentencing is June
19 at 9:30 in the morning at the
City Hall. All friends of the de-
fendant and other interested
parties are invited to attend.
drop the nine points it acquired
against the Buckeyes in the fig-
uring of conference champion.
Track run-offs begin today, with
defending outdoor champion Wis-
consin and Indiana considered the
favorites. The Badgers have won
the last four indoor track titles,
also.
The Hoosiers, out to dethrone
the Badgers, this season defeated
Wisconsin in a triangular meet at
Michigan State and will be com-
peting on a home track.
Michigan's smashing of Purdue
last weekend 108-45 with strong
performances puts the Wolverines
into consideration as a darkhorse.
Ira Russell, Michigan's senior
long jumper, reached a career
high against Purdue last week
when he leaped 25-6%2 which was
tops in the conference. He could
also take the top spot in the triple
jump.
Wolverine 660 runner Norm
Cornwell also has a Big Ten best
in his specialty. Cornwell turned
in a 1:18.9 against the Boiler-
makers and has run it in 18:8 flat
this season. Godfrey Murray has
the top mark in the league for the
120-yard high hurdles, turning in
a 13:7 this year.
This year the conference will be
switching over to the NCAA sys-
tem of scoring track. The league
will score six places in all 18
events with a 19-8-6-4-2-1 sys-
tem, including relay events. In
previous years the Big Ten used
a five-place scoring of 54-3-2-1.
The championships tomorrow
will be televised live by a 26-sta-
tion network, including CKLW-
TV in Windsor.

Battle Creek and Keith Mohan

0 SALISBURY, Rhodesia - Rhodesia, faced with the refusal of
GB other countries to play against it, withdrew yesterday from this year's
- Davis Cup competition.
6 Guy Hodder, secretary of the Rhodesian Lawn Tennis Asso-
7 ciation, said last night a cable had been sent to the Davis Cup Euro-
io pean Zone committee withdrawing the Rhodesian entry.
He said the decision to withdraw was taken because it was thought
to be in Rhodesia's best long-term interests.

* PITTSBURGH - The new Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh
won't be open as scheduled May 29 because of a strike by Teamster
Union members who drive ready mix concrete trucks, officials said
yesterday.
They say that the walkout and a host of other labor problems made
it impossible to say when the $35 million bowl across the Allegheny
River from downtown Pittsburgh would be ready for use.
The Pittsburgh Pirates had been scheduled to christen the 50,000-
seat arena with a game against the San Francisco Giants on May 29.

* CORFE, England - Golfers at the exclusive Taunton and

improved dramatically.
Somebody during the night had sawed down a 200-year-old oak
tree, the principal hazard on the 17th fairway.
"If we ever discover the cad who did this, he will be drummed
out of the club," said John Bevan, chairman of the greens committee.
That sort of thing just isn't done, you know."

Join the Fight
for Good Rail Passenger Service!
In these days of congested highways and air-
ways, rail passenger service is an urgent necessity
-and the need for it grows with each passing day.
Rail service remains the only all-weather
means of transportation. Railroads make no new
demands on our diminishing land resources. Com-
pared to other modes, trains create a negligible
amount of pollution.
Yet, because of government's unfair and un-
equal treatment of the railroads in relation to other
modes of transport, and the indifferent and often
shoddy treatment accorded passengers by many
rail managements, passenger service today is in
danger of extinction. The most serious threat is
Penn Central's bid to abandon all East-West service.
NARP is a non-profit citizen's group fighting to
retain and modernize our rail passenger network as
an essential element of America's national trans-
portation system. If you want to help, mail the
coupon TODAY!
