Perhaps the Blue nine would have been better off playing football or hockey, as they dropped the first game of the doubleheader 11-2, before salvaging a 5-5 tie in the second game,, which was called on account of darkness after six innings of play. Michigan drew first blood in the opener. Centerfielder Greg Schulte led off the bottom of the first with a sharp single to center. He stole second on lef- tfielder Fred Erdmann's strike out and scored when designated hitter George Foussianes' ground ball skipped past the CMU first baseman's glove into right field. CMU tied the score in the second on doubles by outfielders Forrest Hawkins, and Mark Ward. Hawkins was a tough out all day, going 4-for-4 in the contest. Cary Kipke then laid a perfect bunt down the third base line and beat it out for an infield single. It looked as though the Chippewas would make a big inning out of it, but , Michigan starting pitcher Scott Dawson buckled down and retired the remaining batters. Gooseeggs were continuously tallied until the top half of the sixth when CMU second baseman Doug Wabeke began the inning with a walk. He advanced to second on shortstop Dave Pagel's sacrifice. Dawson walked the next bat- ter which brought up Hawkins, who promptly singled to left, loading the bases. Wolverine coach Bud Middaugh replaced Dawson with righthander Joe Wissing. All was for naught, however, when CMU third baseman Mark Vanderlin- den slashed a single, scoring three runs when Schulte misplayed the ball in cen- ter, allowing the 'hustling Hawkins to score from first base. The Wolverines got one run back in the bottom of the sixth when Foussianes smacked his fourth home run of the season and the 17th of his career, a Michigan record., CMU put the game on ice in the seventh inning when leadoff hitter Randy Meier walked with one out and advanced to third when new pitcher Tim Karazim threw away a pick off at- tempt. Wabeke walked to put men on first and third. Pagel came to bat and hit a sure double play ball to shortstop Tony Evans who booted the ball, allowing the fifth CMU run to cross the plate. Kurt Weise then followed with a two-run double, making the score 7-1 and that spelled the end for Karazim. He was replaced by Ypsilanti product Mickey Kazmierski, who owned a 0.00 ERA coming into the game. Kazmierski was rudely greeted by Hawkins' fourth hit of the game, a run scoring double to right. Vanderlinden walked once again and set the stage for Ward, who put the icing on the cake by rocketing a three-run home run over the left field fence. Starter Dawson picked up the loss for the Wolverines dropping his record to 3- ,1. Mark Fellows went all the way for CMU, capturing the victory. In the second game, Central wasted no time getting their show in gear, scoring two runs in the first inning off Michigan hurler Scott Elam. Pagel got Central on the board as he cracked a double to left scoring Wabeke, who had walked. Hawkins followed with a single, scoring Page. The Wolverines didn't delay in an- swering their opponents, as they tallied three runs in their half of the first. Cen- terfielder Tom Fredal started the in- ning off with a single, Randy Wroten followed with a walk, and burly right-; fielder Jim Paciorek brought everyone home as he drilled a Brent Erickson curveball over the left field fence, put-, ting the Wolverines on top. Michigan tallied another run in the' second, as Garry Gawrych smacked a double to left and then scored on a single by Fredal, who was thrown out trying to take second after Gawrych had scored. Central came back in the third, scoring two runs on two Michigan errors. Pagel singled and then scored on shortstop Sherm Stenson's throwing error. Paciorek then dropped a flyball SIR JOHN VANIRUGH'S c Ticke 6-8 p 04504 off Hawkins' bat, allowing Wiese, who had singled, to score. Michigan regained the lead in the bot- tom of the third, as Foussianes took fir- st on a fielder's choice, and stole second. He scored on a single by first: baseman Tim Miller, Central wasted no time evening: Michigan's run production, as they, scored in the fourth. But the bats of both teams were silent after that, as the game was called at 7:00 p.m. on ac- count of darkness. The loss and tie puts the Wolverines at 14-10-1 on the year, while the Chip- pewas now boast a 18-7-1 mark. Michigan will travel west this weekend to face Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Newton resigns TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP)-C. M. Newton resigned yesterday after 12 years as the University 'of Alabama basketball coach to take an administrative job with the Southeastern Conference. He was succeeded by his top assistant, Wimp Sanderson. Newton, 50, leaves behind a 211-123 record at Alabama and a 169-137 mark in 12 earlier years at Transylvania in Kentucky. School officials said Newton "has given us a solid basketball program, but he has meant much more than that to the school, the state and the country." Sanderson said he planned to keep Newton's emphasis on defense, and on offense to have "a fast-break with good shot selection." Sanderson also said he appreciated the fact that Newton recommended him, but added that he would have "to coach my way. I can't copy anybody's style." Gallagher the Doc PONTIAC (AP)-Detroit Lions' defensive tackle Dave Gallagher is retiring to return to medical school full time at the University of Michigan, the National Football League team said yesterday. Gallagher, sidelined with injuries, much of the past two seasons, was a first-round choice of Chicago in the 1974 NFL draft, when he attended Michigan as an undergraduate. He went to the New York Giants just before the 1975 season. In 1977, Gallagher, 28, entered U-M medical school, but began playing for the Lions in 1978 in a draft-choice trade with the Giants. He played one game for Detroit in 1978 before hurting his knee in a game at Tampa. Gallagher missed five games last season after injuring his toe when the Lions played Washington.

Atlanta rallied to lead by one twice after that, but Philadelphia held a five- point advantage, 78-73, after three quarters. Atlanta never caught up. ATLANTA TOOK the lead early in the first period and, triggered by John- son's 10 points, built a 30-24 opening quarter lead. Atlanta led by as many as 11 during the period. Atlanta, however, as they had done most of the series, got into foul trouble, with centers Wayne "Tree" Rollins and Steve Hawes each saddled with five late in the third quarter. WIth its two big men handicapped, Atlanta was no match for the 76ers' towering front line of seven-foot Cald- well Jones, six-foot-11112 Dawkins and six-foot-nine Bobby Jones. The Sixers took control of the boards and the game.
