Page Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, June 18, 1975 Netters advance in NCAA's CORPUS CHRISTI, TEX. - Michigan tennis coach Brian Eisner was quite relieved at the end of the day yesterday. Still reeling from the elimination of ninth- seeded Victor Amaya the day before, the Wolverines advanced through yesterday's action unscathed, win- rling six matches in the process at the Pan American University courts. One of the Wolverines already walked off with a major victory. Fred DeJesus was voted the tourna- ment's Raphael Osuna award given to the collegiate tennis player who best exemplifies merit academically and on the courts. The award named after Southern Cal's Raphael Osu- na, a former national champion who was killed in a plane crash, had special meaning for DeJesus, who knew the late tennis star. AS TO yesterday's results, Eisner was quite pleased. "We had an outstanding day today in not losing a set," he said. "Its been very hot out here and the wind is a big factor. It's completely changed the way a person plays out here." DeJesus proved a worthy recipient of the award as he defeated Tracy Delatte of Tennessee 7-6, 7-5, in the morning, then came back later in the afternoon to trounce Trinity's Mike Grant, 6-4, 6-2. THESE WERE two quality wins according to Eisner. The Wolverines faced Delatte back in earlier May when Jeff Miller beat him badly, but the Volunteer is only a freshman. Grant is an outstanding player and is the first from Trinity's team to be eliminated. Michigan now has ten points, compared to a total of 19 last year. Two points also came from Eric, Fried- ler who did well against stiff competition. First he de- feated Hans Gildemeister of USC 7-6, 6-3, then hand- led Appalachian St. ace Keith Richards 6-4, 7-6. "Friedler had a real good day," extolled Eisner. The junior from Evanston, Ill. teamed with Jerry Karzen at the end of the day to eliminate Morris Parker and Jerry Belinsik of San Diego St. "Victor played well, I'm very pleased with his per- formance," assured Eisner of the 6-7 Amaya, who now must concentrate on his doubles play. Concentrate he did, as he and Fred DeJesus, seeded first disposed of Ted Baily and Mike Vogel of Arkansas 6-4, 7-5. Today the two will face the team of Saviano and Mitchell, Etanfords No. 2 doubles. Friedler and Karzen will face Conden and Simon of Cal State-Long Beach. In singles DeJesus will meet UC-Irvine's Scott Carna- han, while Friedler takes on Jao Soraes of Pepper- dine who eliminated him last year, in a 7-5 third set. The singles field will be narrowed down to 32 at the start of today's action. If Michigan can. avoid any upsets for the next couple rounds they can assure them- selves of a high finish. Southern Cal, last year's sec- ond place finisher is already down to one singles play- er, fifth-seeded Butch Walts, and one doubles team. - - - ------------- - - --- Sports of the Daily By The Associated Press Hockey roundup MONTREAL-The National Hockey League named its Most Valuable Player, added five former stars to the Hall of Fame and decided against permitting a one-eyed defenseman to join the Buffalo Sabres. Philadelphia Flyres' center Bobby Clarke was awarded the Hart Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player; Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins won the James Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman; Eric Vail of the Atlanta Flames was named the NHL's top rookie of 1974-75 and Marcel Dionne of the Detroit Red Wings was voted the Lady Byng Trophy as the player who best exhibited sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct while display- ing outstanding ability on the ice. The Hall of Fame inductees were goalie Glenn Hall and o defenseman Pierre Pilote, who spent the bulk of their careers with the Chicago Blackhawks, and three former members of the Toronto Maple Leafs-George Armstrong, Gordie Drillon and Ace Bailey. Meanwhile the league's Board of Governors voted 13-3 with two absentions not to accept a special protective mask which would permit young defenseman Greg Neeld to play despite the fact he only has one eye. It was also reported yesterday by Allan Malamud, sports editor of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, that the Detroit Red Wings would trade Marcel Dionne to the Kings. The trade will not be finalized however, until or if the Kings sign Dionne. The report also said that L.A. was willing to ex- change Dan Maloney, Sheldon Kannegeiser, Terry Harper and Juha Widing for Dionne, who is now a free agent. Bengals swap Muhlmann CINCINNATI-Kicking specialist Horst Muhlmann, the Cin- cinnati Bengals' all-time scoring leader, has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for an undisclosed draft choice, the National Football League team announced yesterday., Muhlmann, at 35, was the oldest member of the NFL's newest team and owned one of the league's best kicking percentages. On top of the action Tony Taylor of the Philadelphia Phillies found himself in a strange position as he slid between the legs of Chicago Cubs secondbaseman Manny Trillo in the second inning last night. Taylor safely stole secondbase but it was in vain as the Cubs won 9-5. Beniquez' homer leads BOsox past Tigers, 7-6 By CLARKE COGSDILL Special To The Daily DETROIT - Pitching Lerrin LaGrow and expecting to win, is like wearing a grey flannel suit to a Rolling Stones concert. LaGrow, a towering right- hander cast in the classic mold of Weeping Claude Willoughby, Silent Cal Benge and Boom- Boom Beck, gave up four runs in two-thirds of the first inning last night. As one would expect, his Detroit Tigers eventually bit the dust, but at least they Mnade it interesting. Boston's 7-6 victory, which wasn't nailed down until Ron LeFlore flied to right with two men on in the ninth, set the Bengals one more game below .500, and one more game behind te pace-setting BoSox. Rick ise, who had troubles of his own in the first inning, was credited with the victory . . basically because the scoring rules insist that a winning pitcher must exist. After retiring the first batter, LaGrow surrendered line singles to Rick Burleson and Carl Yas- trzemski, and a walk to Rick Lynn that loaded the bases. One popup later, Bernie Carbo's grounder between Aurelio Rod- riguez and Tom Veryzer scored a pair, and Rico Petrocelli fol- lowed with a double to left to send LaGrow away. Mike Brookens, just up from Evansville, lasted through the fourth inning, allowing a pair of runs, four hits, and fanning five. Ron LeFlore, who finished the night with four hits, led off the Tiger first with a liner to right. Gary Sutherland walked and Danny Meyer drove in LeFlore with a single to center. Willie Horton's shot to right- field scored Sutherland, and Meyer came across when Leon Roberts, who eventually got three hits, grounded into a doubleplay. Boston added another run in the third when Bernie Carbo walked, took second on a wild pitch, and came home on Denny Doyle's base knock. But Horton walked in the Tigers' half of the inning, and tallied on the first of John Wockenfuss' four hits. Boston got another marker in the fourth on singles by Juan Beniquez and Lynn. Dave Lemanczyk allowed the eventual winning run on a Bent- quez' homer in the top of the eighth, making the score 7-4. - Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE East East W L Pet.
