The Michigan Daily-Thursday, October 8, 1981--Page 9 Pitching sharp as A's, Astros go up 2-0 Yanks, Expos also win AP Photo Houston Astros' Phil Garner is greeted by Luis Pujols after scoring the winning run on a two-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 11th inning by pinch-hitter Denny Walling as the Astros beat the Dodgers 1-0 yesterday. The win gave the Astros a 2-0 lead as the best of five series moves to Los Angeles. Joe Sambito, who came on in the top of the 11th in- ning, picked up the win for Houston. Joe Neikro, who started for the Astros, pitched a strong eight innings before * leaving, as did Los Angeles starter Jerry Reuss who shut out the Astros for nine innings. AND IN THIS CORNER.. Mark Mihanovic . ..ntensity overdue M ICHIGAN BY 40 points. That's the kind of spread, give or take a touchdown, I am looking for when the Wolverines face rival Michigan State this weekend. The game is in East Lansing, you say? Oh. Michigan by 39. I could point to dozens of reasons'why the Maize and Blue will run up a big score versus the Spartans, but first and foremost is that, when charged up, this team is awesome. And the Wolverines are overdue to be charged up, on offense and defense, when they take the field on Saturday. - Only when they whipped the Irish, 25-7, were both Michigan units intense for the game's duration. At Wisconsin, it appeared to be a chore for Michigan linemen, on both sides of the ball, to get down into a three-point stance; the squad was certainly lackluster in its win over Navy; and last Saturday in Bloomington, while the offense exploded, Wolverine defenders had their share of problems, especially early. Two plays on Indiana's first possession were absolutely stunning for anyone who had watched the Michigan secondary in action throughout 1980. On first down, it took Indiana's Duane Gunn four steps to beat Marion Body by two for a 13-yard pass gain. In other words, Body was caught flat-footed. On the first defensive play of the game. The two downs later, Hoosier tight end Bob Stephenson, a fine football player but by no means a 'burner,' chugged downfield, looked up, and found that nobody was close enough for him to shout at. He remained that way, too, until quarterback Babe Laufenberg, perhaps responding to the frantic "He's open" cries from the crowd, finally picked him out for a touchdown. Defense better with age I recall these events because they are the kind that victimize flat teams, teams that are not mentally prepared. It certainly is not an indication of a dropoff in talent; it isn't likely that Body or Tony Jackson or Brian Carpen- ter or Keith Bostic has lost a step at the tender age of 21. And that is the same group that yielded only three scoringtosses all of last year-against some imposing opposition quarterbacks, as well. The rest of the defense should get better with age. A healthy Winfred Carraway (who missed most of the first three games with a pair of sprained ankles) at defensive tackle is a big plus, and 6-2, 242-pound Doug James is beginning to assert himself at middle guard. Another sophomore, inside linebacker Mike Boren (53 tackles), seems to be near the pileup on every defensive play and may some day make folks forget Andy Cannavino. And if Wolverine followers were beginning to doubt Michigan's offensive capabilities, the show that Steve Smith, Butch Woolfolk and Co. put on in Bloomington was just what was needed. Woolfolk's 176 yards in two-and-a-half quarters was the kind that is coming to be expected of one of the top four backs in the country; lack of offensive line consistency has not prevented Woolfolk from piling up big yardage thus far, and the prospects are devastating should Kurt Becker, Bubba Paris, and the others start opening up 1980-style holes consistently. The quarterbacking of Smith, though, is perhaps the area in which Wolverine fans can expect the greatest improvement-he is already begin- ning to display the throwing ability which everyone has looked for. While one can look for Bo Schembechler to have this talented bunch sky- high, the situation on the other side of the field is much more uncertain. Sure, the MSU players will jump up and down and pat each other on the helet before the opening kickoff. But genuine emotion among the Spartan gridders may well be lacking. Enrollment at the university is down, and the glory days of 1978-79 Michigan State athletics, when the Spartans won Big Ten titles in football, basketball, and baseball, seem so far in the past. As a result, morale is low, so low that many fans hope the Wolverines win big so that MSU's noted delegator of duties, Muddy Waters, will be fired as coach. An atmosphere like that cannot help but adversely affect a football team. So takenote on Saturday-yqu are observing two football teams, and maybe two schools, headed in opposite directions.

HOUSTON (AP) - It was the kind of cliff-hanger that has become almost a trademark of the Houston Astros. There they were again yesterday . . .extra inning$,- two-outs, score tied. This time pinch-hitter Denny Walling drilled a bases-loaded liner into the right center field alley to give Houston a 1-0 victory in 11 innings over the Los f Angeles Dodgers. Now the Astros have a 2-0 lead in the National League Western Division best- of-5 series. The two teams travel to Los Angeles for Game 3 tomorrow and any subsequent games Saturday and Sun- day. The loser again was Dave Stewart, who was tagged for a two-out, two-run' homer by Alan Ashby in the bottom of the ninth last night for a 3-1 Houston vic- tory. Phil Garner, who scored the winning run, said the Astros wanted a sweep of the series because "we would hate to let 'em get their heads above water in their own park." A's 2, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY (AP) - Tony Armas hit two singles and two doubles, driv- ing in both Oakland runs, and Steve McCatty outdueled rookie Mike Jones to give the A's a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals and a 2-0 lead in the American League Western Division playoffs. Armas lashed a double through the legs of third baseman George Brett in the eighth, knocking in Dwayne Mur- phy with the winning run. BUT THE OAKLAND right fielder, who led the A's this season with 76 runs batted in, had to leave the game after the eighth-inning hit -because of soreness on the left side of the groin area. McCatty, 14-7 during the season, struck out three, walked four and gave up only six hits to the slumping Royals, who were 50-52 for the year, the only sub-.500 team in the playoffs. After beating the Royals 4-0 in the opener of the best of 5 series Tuesday, the A's are one victory away from meeting the Eastern Division champion for the American League pennant. The next three .games of the series are scheduled in Oakland, starting Friday. Epos 3, Phillies 1 MONTREAL (AP) - Tim Wallach and Chris Speier combined for the go-ahead r4n in the second inning off Steve Carlton as the Montreal Expos beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 yesterday in the first game of their best-of-5 series for the National League East cham- pionship. The Expos took the lead 2-1 in the second when Wallach, a .236 hitter in the regular seasor), led off with a double to center and raced home on a single by .lk UNION BILLIARDS MICHIGAN UNION Classes in: BILLIARDS POOL Classes begin: October 14 $20 for 20 hrs. of lessons QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS REGISTER: Billiards Room 763-5786 Speier, who hit .225 during the season.

Yankees 5, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE (AP)- Rick Cerone lined a two-run double to cap a four-run New York fourth inning, and the Yankees rode brilliant relief pitching by Ron Davis and Rich Gossage to a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. last night in the first game of the American League East Division cham- pionship series.

University Qpen 7 days 11:0,A.M..Midnight Hoopsters retrieve Van de Wehe to coach By MARK FISCHER With only one returning starter (senior forward Thad Garner), the Michigan basketball team will sport many newcomers this coming season: Not all the new faces will belong to players, however, for the Wolverines have a new assistant coach: Bud Van de Wehe, Jr. Van de Wehe, who graduated from Michigan in 1980 with a degree in physical education, will take over Tom Kempf's old spot in joining head coach Bill Frieder and fellow assistants Mike Boyd- and Don Sicko on the Wolverine bench. THE POST opened up when Kempf, who will still help the team as a "volun- teer assistant", decided to concentrate on taking classes to attain a Masters degree. "I'm really thrilled about it," said Van de Wehe of his new job. " It's a great opportunity to learn about coaching. The opportunity is the most exciting thing about it, along with working un- der coaches like Frieder, Sicko, and Boyd." Van de Wehe said he sees his post as a "stepping stone position," a "foot in the door in coaching". Michigan basketball is certainly. nothing new to Van de Wehe. In his freshman and sophomore years he played on the Wolverine junior varsity squad, and when that team was discon- tinued, Van de Wehe became the var- sity's manager for his junior and senior years. - Last season he served as the team's graduate assistant. VAN DE WEHE'S primary roles with the Wolverines this season will consist of handling travel arrangements, scouting Michigan opponents, and ad- vising the players in academic affairs. He is currently helping to supervise the team's pre-season conditioning and weightlighting program. The Ann Arbor native found out about his appointment in July, when he was away from town applying for coaching jobs at various high schools, and he said the call came as a'surprise' . "I left my job last year and didn't expect to return," said Van de Wehe. "I'm just really excited to be back here."
