,Page Twelve rHE MICHIGAN DAILY I hu rsdciy, J U I y 22, 1976 WOLVERINES' DOWNIE SPLASHES TO BRONZE Nadia wins first gold medal MONTREAL (A', -N a d i a Comaneci, the 11-year-old Ro- manian who has captured the hearts of the world like few Olympic champions, gained her gold medal yesterday in the women's all-around gymnastics competition, and also received two more perfect scores of 10 in one of the Games' all-time great performances. Meanwhile, American m e n continued to swamp the rest of the warld in swimming as Matt Vagl of Fort Wayne, Ind., won the gld medal and led a 1-2-3 United States sweep in the 100- meter butterfly. Vogel, 19, was timed in 54.3S seconds. Joe Bottom of Santa Clara, Calif., was sec- and in 54.50 and Gary Hall, 24, of Cincinnati, was third in 54.65. Ulrike Richter of East Ger- m-tny won the women's 100-me- ter backstroke gold medal in 1:01.83, three-tenths of a second off the world record, but a new Olympic record. Brigit Treiber of East Germany was second and Nancy Garapick of Canada was third. And the U.S. men's relay team chopped more than seven seconds off its own world record in winning the 800 freestyle re- lay in 7 minutes 23.22 seconds. The Soviet Union was second and Great Britain third. Great Britain's third place finish means that Wolverine swimmer Gordon Downie col- lected a bronze medal as a member of the relay unit. The victorious Americans, all previous medal winners in these 1976 Games, were Mike Bruner of Stockton, Calif.; Bruce Fur- niss of Santa Ana, Calif.; John Naber of Menlo Park, Calif., and Jim Montgomery of Madi- son, Wis. The American men, who now have won all seven swimming events contested thus far, shattered their own world word of 7:30.33, set in Wednes- day morning's qualifying. Marina Koshevaia led a So- viet medals sweep, in the 200- meter breaststroke, winning the gold in the world record time of 2 minutes 33.35 seconds. Marina turchenia was second and Liu- bov Rusanova third. The old mark was 2:34.99, set in 1974 by Karla Linke of East Germany, who finished fifth. The U.S. men's basketball team had another tough game but All-Americans A d r i a n Dantley and Scott May led a second - half comeback that carried them to a 112-93 vic- tory over Yugoslavia. At halftime, the Americans trailed 55-51. But May and Dan- tley, the American corner men, took turns at filling in the mid- dle in place of foul-plagued cen- ters Mitch Kupchak and Tom LaGarde and pulled the United States through the crisis. Dan- tley led all scorers with 27 points and May had 26. Michigan's Phil H u b b a r d scored two points. No gymnast ever had been awarded a perfect 10 points in the Olympics until Miss Com- aneci got it in the compulsory uneven parallel bars Sunday night. She hit 10 in the balance beam and in her own creative bars routine Monday. Then Sunday she got 10 on both the bars and the beam. It was incredible, and the whole world was talking about the lovely little girl who has trained half her life to become the world's outstanding woman gymnast. But Nadia was as cool as her rigorous training routine demanded during all of the years of preparation. "I felt very good about the gold medal. It was nice. I felt happy but I will try to perfect my present routines," she said. Asked if she was certain of victory going into the com- petition, she replied without blinking an eye, "Da." The silver medal went to Rus- sia's Nellie Kim, who scored a 10 of her own on the vault. Rus- sian Ludmila Tourischeva, the reigning Olympic and world champion, won the bronze. The scores were Comaneci 79.275, Kim 78.675 and Tourischeva 78.625. A perfect score would be 80. Those three compete again to- night for individual gold medals on all four women's gymnastics apoaratus - bars, beam, vault and floor exercise. Miss Com- aneci was favored to win on the bars and beam, Miss Kim on the vasnlt and Miss Tourischeva on the exercises.

All of the Chicago runs in the nightcap came in the fourth inning when Jorge Orta opened with a single, stole second and scored on Bill Stein's single. Kevin Bell singled to move Stein to third and both runners scored on Bucky Dent's triple. IT WAS Johnson's ninth win against eight loss- es and rookie Dave Lemanczyk took his second loss against one win, even though he allowed only six hits and struck out eight. In the opener, Lamar Johnson batted in two runs with a sacrifice fly and a single and Brian Downing and Ralph Garr each drove in one run. Munson marches NEW YORK - Thurman Munson drove in five runs with a three-run homer and two singles and Catfish Hunter scattered nine hits as the New York Yankees routed the Oakland A's 10-1 Wednesday night. The only Oakland run off Hunter, 12-8, came in the first, on Joe Rudi's RBI single. Munson hit his home run in the fifth inning and run-scoring singles in the first and eighth. Reds roll CINCINNATI - Cincinnati's Fred Norman re- tired 21 of the first 22 New York batters and ex- tended lis career record at Riverfront Stadium to 30-7 with a four-hitter as the Reds blanked the Mets 4-0 Wednesday night. Norman, 8-2, allowed only a fourth-inning triple by John Milner until the eighth when Mike Vail and Roy Staiger singled.
