Martinez completed the walk to Summers and struck out Parrish before issuing an RBI double to John Wocken- fuss.

FerryField track closes door to public, By DAN NEWMAN The athletic department has closed the newly-resurfaces Ferry Field varsity track to the public, restricting its use to members of Michigan's men's and women's track teams. "The joggers have ruined the track," said a spokesman for the athletic department. "If we reopened it to the public, it would cost $60,000 every two years just to keep it up." The track was resurfaced over the summer at a cost of $50,000 to the department, according to associate athletic director Don Lund. A source inside the department said the track was closed to the public in response to two home track meets which were cancelled last spring due to poor track conditions. Several non-varsity runners expressed bitterness over the department's decision to deny them use of the track. One graduate student, who asked not to be identified, said he was told by department plant supervisor Bob Flora that the track would be reopened to the public June 17, the date by which resurfacing was to have been completed. The student went on to explain that Flora told him shortly after resur- facing had been completed that the track would be available only to team members "because of the costs of keeping it up." Many runners, the student said, are now running at the University's other outdoor track, which is located on Palner Field. He added that the Palmer track "is not nearly as good" in quality as the Ferry track. "It's not an exact 440 (yards) and there are only three lanes," he said. "Ferry Field was a track for runners, and I especially liked it because there was a nice mix of people. There were the athletes, but there were also the slightly over-weight men as well as the elderly ladies." "With today's running craze, people feel it's their recreation track to use," said Lund. "Every person thinks it's their track. It's not that the athletic department is trying to be hard-nosed or anything. It's just always supposed to have been used for intercollegiate meets." The department may place turnstiles at the entrance to the track and charge users a small admission fee, the department spokesman added. e: ;.i. il Don't hit me!
