Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, June 4, 19751 FLYERS DRAFT MORRISON IN 5th Can adians tab S " Hughes Rightwingers Pat Hughes and Gary Morrison were the first two Michigan Wolverines chosen a in the National Hockey League's annual amateur draft yesterday in Montreal. Hughes, the sixth college play- er drafted, went to the Mon- treal Canadiens in the third round. Philadelphia chose Mor- rison on the last pick of the fifth round. "Right now I'm just thinking about what's going on," Hughes said. The speedy rightwinger heard about his selection while at work. "My parents knew about it before I did," he said. "They called to tell me the news." REPORTS received last night indicated that Wolverines Doug Lindskog and John McCahill were also drafted but by whom and in what rounds was not known. Wisconsin defenseman Brian Engblom was the first college player selected when Montreal grabbed him in the second round with a draft choice ob- tained f r o m the Minnesota North Stars. Later in the second round the Pittsburgh Penguins snatched defenseman R u s s Anderson from the University of Minne- sota. THIRD ROUND picks in- cluded John Tweedle from Lake Superior State by California, Notre Dame players Alex Pirus by the North Stars and Clarke Hamilton by the Detroit Red Wings and Hughes. California and Minnesota dip- ped into the college pool again in the fourth round for Colorado College's Greg Smith and Mich- igan Tech's Steve Jensen, re- spectively. Pittsburgh also took its second collegian, Michigan Tech's Stu Younger. The Washington Capitals own- ed the first pick in the draft but traded it to the Stanley Cup champion Philadelphia Flyers for center Bill Clement. Philadelphia used the pick to grab center Mel Bridgman from the Victoria Cougars of the Western Hockey League. Choos- in fifth, the Detroit Red Wings tabbed defenseman Rick La- nointe, also from Victoria. STANLEY C U P runnerup Buffalo may have opened the way for possible litigation against the league by drafting defenseman Greg Neeld. Neeld lost the vision in his left eye when playing for the Toronto Marlboros in the O n t a r i o Hockey Association last season. NHL President Clarence Campbell said last week that Neeld was eligible for the draft, but "it wouldn't do any good because he can't pass the league's physical examinations --the vision test." Neeld has threatened to sue the league, and the NHL's rules committee has agreed to listen to a presentation on his behalf June 16. Doily Photo by KEN FINK Back to Canada!

(A)- Bobby Bonds blasted a record- breaking home run and Alex Johnson contributed a key two- run double, leading the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins last night. Bonds' homer in the final in- ning, his 12th of the season, gave him 29 for his career as a leadoff man, a major league record. He previously shared the mark with Eddie Yost. Johnson's pinch-hit double in the eighth inning wiped out a 4-3 Minnesota lead built on Steve Brye's three-run homer in the third inning, Expos expire MONTREAL (1)-Dave Lopes' two-run double in the eighth inning provided the winning runs as Los Angeles' Don Sutton be- came the National League's first 10-game winner with a 6-5 victory over the Montreal Ex- pos last night. Jim Brewer pitched the ninth inning for the Dodgers and gave up a run on Barry Foote's base hit before nail- ing down the decision for Sut- ton, 10-3. Lopes' two-run double pro- vided the Dodgers with a 6-3 lead before the Expos came back with a run in the eighth on Pat Scanlon's home run. Earlier, Steve Garvey belted a solo homer in the seventh in- ning off Steve Renko, 0-4, to snap a 3-3 tie. Boston blasts BOSTON (1)-Rookie slugger Jim Rice drilled a three-run homer in the first inning and Dick Pole made it stand up with a three-hitter last night as the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 4-0. Pole, making only his sec- ond start of the season and his 11th since joining the Red Sox in 1973, pitched the first complete game of his pro ca- reer. He struck out eight bat- ters and walked three. The only Chicago hits were a bunt single by Pat Kelly in the third inning, a lime single to left by Bill Melton in the fifth and a triple by Jorge Orta in the ninth. Royals ravage CLEVELAND (P)-Al Cowen's two-run, two-out single in the sixth inning led the redhot Kan- sas City Royals to a 5-2 vic- tory over the Cleveland Indians last night. The Royals' victory was their 10th in the last 11 games and their 16th of 21 starts since May 11. Jim Wohlford opened the Royals' sixth with a double to left and scored on John May- berrq's single, tying the game- at 2-2. Fran Healy singled and loser Fritz Peterson, 4-5, walked George Brett to load the bases before Cowen de- livered two runs with his hit. Mayberry's seventh home run of the season, in the eighth in- ning, gave the Royals their fi- nal run. The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Wohlford singled and reached third on error. He scored an unearned run on Hal McRae's sacrifice fly. Cincinnati cinchs PITTSBURGH (A') --- "We were out of first so long I al- most forgot the feeling," Man- ager Sparky Anderson said after his Cincinnati Reds re- mained atop the National League eWst by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-4 last night. It was the 10th victory in 11 games for the Reds, who over- took Los Angeles by a few per- centage points Monday night to climb atop the NL West for the first time since April 14. "We still have a battle on our hands, but it's always good to be in first," said Anderson. "We started off bad every season, and people say we're not as good as we're supposed to be," noted Morgan. "But with the kind of players we have, we don't panic." Catcher Johnny Bench went 0-4 and didn't contribute to Cin- cinnati's 11-hit attack, but he too liked the feeling of first. "When you work to get back on top and then make it, you get a little pride, a little mo- mentum going because you want to stay there," said Bench.
