The Wolverine cagers leave Crisler Arena today at noon, and at 5:44 p.m. tomorrow will arrive in Cairo, Egypt, for a 12 day goodwill tour. "We'll have a great time," said coach Johnny Orr. "It should be real educational. "WE'LL PLAY the same team eight times, the Egyptian National Team, they have an American assistant coach, and they're sup- posed to be like a good division II college team," Orr said. "The games will be outside, with crowds up- wards of 15,000 and 20,000. "We'll be travelling four days, and play eight games and give three clinics in about 12 days," Orr said. THE TEAM has spent the past three days practicing in Ann Arbor and getting accustomed to international rules. A crowd of approximately 25 friends, rela- tives and well-wishers watched the team go through its final practice session yesterday morning. The squad scrimmaged full court with international rules in effect. The key is seven feet wider where the foul lane meets the baseline. The international game moves faster, because of a 30-second clock and the referee does not handle the ball after a violation. International rules also permit dunk- ing. "We'll run into some difficulties, but after three days we should be used to it," Orr said. THE INTERNATIONAL r u I e s also worry some of the players. "The offense, as far as rebounding on free throws, has an advantage," said 6-7 forward Joel Thompson. "I LIKE BEING able to dunk," said John Robinson, "but I don't like the wider lanes. "It should be a pretty good trip. I heard it's pretty wild, I hope they don't bother us," Robin- son said, referring tv the tenuous political situa- tion. The everpresent possibility of tension between Israel and Egypt also leaves Orr apprehensive. "I hope they keep it quiet while we're there," he confided. The entourage faces a 22-hour trip in addi- tion to a seven hour time change. "We're going to be tired for a while," assist- ant coach Jim Dutcher assured. MICHIGAN forward John Robinson (45) snatches a rebound in a game last winter against Northwestern. Looking on is C.J. Kupec (41). Robinson and teammates leave for Egypt at noon today for a 12-day tour of the Land of the Pharaoh. TIGERS FALL TO YANKEES Brewers shut out Red Sox sports Of the ia By The Associated Press d mr A1~nth1c n"h trn rarmc eat rrf BOSTON-Don Money hit two home runs and Darrell Porter added a solo shot last night as the Milwaukee Brewers snapped Boston's 10-game home winning streak with a 4-0 victory over the Red Sox behind Jim Cot- born's seven hitter. Diego Segui, a . veteran re- liever making his first start since May 16, 1972, struck out 11 Brewers but was the victim of the gopher ball. Given a starting shot when Luis 'Tiant reported stiffness in his right shoulder, S e g u i fell behind quickly and the Brewers went on to hand the Red Sox just their fourth loss in the last 22 games. Money led off the game with his 10th homer, a tremendous shot which cleared the 23-foot high screen atop the 37-foot left field wall. Porter followed immediately with his 11th homer, a 42a-1oot blast to right center. Money then was credited with another homer on a high fly contested by the Red Sox in the third inning. The ball appeared to hit off the roof outside the left field line and bounced into the stands, but umpire Larry Barnett ruled it had hit the foul pole. The Brewers added a fourth run on Kurt Bevacqua's double, an infield out and a wild pitch in the fifth. Colborn, 7-8, pitched his first shutout in 16 starts this year, Tigers Caged NEW YORK -Lou Piniella's run-scoring single capped a three-run 'fifth inning, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers last night. The Yankees, shut out in their tnree previous starts, score their first run in 28 innings when Bobby Bonds walked in the first, moved to third on, an error and came around on Thur- man Munson's grounder. The Yankees put the game away in the fifth as Munson singled home a run, Nettles dou- bled -home Munson and Piniella singled home the third run of the frame. Winner Doc Medich, 8-12, had enough of a cushion to withstand Detroit's two-run rally in the sixth. Ben Oglivi doubled and scored on Willie Horton's 18th homer of the baseball season. Medich got last-out relief help from Tippy Martinez as the Yankees beataJoe Coleman, 9-13. In last night's game Bill Bald- win, just brought up from Evans- ville, replaced veteran outfield- er Mickey Stanley. Stanley was placed on the 60-day disabled list yesterday and is not expected to return this season. Stanley underwent surgery to repair an injured right thumb. By The Associated Press Chicago A'S, Seattle Sox? CHICAGO - Chicago White Sox owner John Allyn disputed reports yesterday that plans are being made for a major shift of baseball franchises involving his team and the world champion Oakland A's. The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that discussions are underway to move Charles O. Finley's Oakland team to Chicago and Allyn's franchise to Seattle. "I don't think there's a chance that the White Sox will leave Chicago," Allyn said in an interview. "He (Finley) has com- mitments in Oakland that I don't think he can get out of."
