Pae wev THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, May 5. 1977 .,. ,,, I Isy Tti AssiatrdlPcrsi A dud stud? LXINGT ON. t Stretari l, the lat of tlhe Triple Crown winners, may be one of the greatest race horses of all time. But he could be a flop as a papa As a 56.4-million syndicated stud, he is not, "putting his stamp on his get," as they say around the tracks. Few horses hae been retired to stud with greater hullabaloo and expectations than that accotupattying Secretariat. His price was $80,000 to $100,0001 per maiting. At first there was concern he might be an infertile sire. But these fears soon disappeared as the great champion was bred to 36 mares in 1975 with 30 dropping foals. One, later named Canadian Bound, brought a record $1.5 million at the Keepe- land yearling sales. The first to race, a filly named Sexatariat, owned by Andrew Adams, finished fourth in a race at Keeneland a couple of weeks ago. Others will be taking thir starts later this month. Wanna Reggie bar? NEW YORK - New York Yankees outfielder Reggie Jackson will begin to reap the commercial benefits of playing in the na- tion's largest city today when Standard Brands announces a new candy product called the Reggie Bar. Jackson once boasted that if he played in New York, "they'd name a candy bar after me." That's about to come true. Standard Brands also manufactures Baby Ruth candy bar. League MVPs announced NEW YORK - Ron Cey of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tom Seaver of the New York Mets were selected player and pitcher of the month for April, the National League announced yesterday. Cey drove in a record 29 runs in 20 games last month, slugging nine home runs and batting .425 as the Dodgers soared in front of the West Division. Seaver won four decisions for the Mets and allowed only sev- en earned runs in 41 innings for an earned run average of 1.54. Outfielder Otto Velez of the Toronto Blue Jays was named the American League's Player of the Month for April. The 26-year-old Velez, acquired in the expansion draft from the New York Yankees, led the American League in batting with a .419 average going into yesterday's games. He also topped the league with a .865 slugging percentage. Dur- ing April, as the expansion Blue Jays won 10 of their first 21 games, Velez cracked seven doubles and five home runs and drove in 18 runs. Dolphins take the bait MIAMI-Defensive tackles Don Reese and Randy Crowder of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins were arrested yes- terady on charges of selling a pound of cocaine to an undercover agent, police said. Reese, 25, and Crowder, 23, were charged with selling and conspiracy to sell cocaine, a Miami Police Department spokes- man said. He said the arrests were made at a South Miami motel. That amount of cocaine would have a street value of $233,000. Reese, who played for Jackson State, was the Dolphins' first-round draft choice in 1974. Crowder, who played for Penn State, was taken in the sixth round that year. Dolphins spokesman Bob Kearney quoted Dolphin Coach Don Shula as saying: "I'm disappointed and I'm waiting for addi- tional information."

Boston won, 5-2. FINISH RECRUITING YEAR Blue lands 'other' Johnson By SCOTT LEWIS Basketball Coach Johnny Orr and his staff com- pleted a %sensational recruiting year yesterday, signing Johnny Johnson, a 6-4 200-pound guard from Nichols High School in Buffalo. JOHNSON'S announcement brings to six the number of recruits the Wolverine staff has lured to Ann Arbor, which fully utilizes the maximum amount of scholarships it was allowed to hand out this spring. "Signing these six players gives us a great re- cruiting year," said assistant coach Bill Frider. "We feel that this makes up a year that's com- parable to two years ago, when we recruited Rickey Green, Phil Hubbard, Tom Staton, Alan Hardy, and Bobby Jones." IN THREE YEARS, Johnson's high school team sported a 48-4 record, one of the best in the state. of New York, which has no statewide tournament. Johnson averaged 31.6 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists per game this past season. He shot 60.3 percent from the field and connected on 76 per- cent of his free throws. His three-year scoring average was 27 points per game. "We have followed John for a couple of years, and we feel that he definitely is one of the top players in the country," said Frieder. "He's a good shooter, he penetrates well, and is a great passer. Jehn's very strong and moves exception- ally well for his size. "We feel he can help us immediately," he added. OTHER SCHOOLS in the running for Johnson were USC, North Carolina State, Texas Tech, and Florida. Johnson's signing, along with that of Mike Mc- Ghee Tuesday, shortly followed Earvin Johnson's decision to attend Michigan State. But the signing of these two, along with Mark and Marty Bodnar, Mike Robinson, and Paul Heurman earlier, min- imizes the loss of the Lansing star as much as possible. Both Johnson and McGhee were named first team All-Americans according to B & C scouting services, a reputable appraiser of high school talent. The squad consists of 33 players around the country. Robinson was chosen on the first-team All- American Junior College team, and the Bodnars were given honorable mention under the high school category.
