sixth inning when Trammell led off
with his second double of the night. Kirk
Gibson then walked and Parrish
followed with a line single to left driving

Afterwards, leading off the seventh,
third baseman Tom Brookens made the
crowd go wild hitting a 3-2 pitch from
reliever Mike Caldwell for his fifth home

In the meantime, rookie pitcher,
Randy O'Neal, in his major league star-

O'NEAL STRUCK out six, walked
one, and gave up only four hits. His only
previous big league experience was
three innings of one-hit relief last Wed-

Colorado tight end remains in critical condition

ANEW
CONTRACEPTIVE
IS HERE.
TODAY"

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - University of
Colorado tight end, Ed Reinhardt
remained unconscious in critical con-
dition yesterday and a hospital
spokesman said his condition could
remain virtually the same for days or
months.
Surgeons removed a blood clot from
the left side of Reinhardt's brain Satur-
day. Doctors said he suffered the injury
when he was tackled during his team's
27-20 loss to Oregon earlier Saturday.
THE 6-FOOT-5%, 230-pound
sophomore, ranked No. 2 in the nation
in pass receiving before Saturday's
game, left the field unassisted, but
collapsed at the sideline with less than
two minutes left in the game.

"He is pretty much the same as
yesterday," said Alan Yorty,
spokesman for Sacred Heart General
Hospital. "He is still listed as critical,
still in intensive care and still uncon-
scious.
"We're very much in a wait and see
mode," Yorty added. "This could go on
for a day or two days, or it could go on
for weeks or months. It's very very
hard to say."
Dr. Arthur Hockey, the neurosurgeon
who operated Saturday to remove a
blood clot from the 19-year-old
sophomore's brain, said Reinhardt's
condition improved slightly Monday.
Hockey said results of a CT scan
showed there was a small reduction in
the swelling of Reinhardt's brain. A CT
scan is a high-resolution X-ray picture

that shows very small details inside the
body.
Hockey said Reinhardt's medical

outlook remains uncertain and the next
few days will be crucial to his survival
and recovery.

GRIDDE PICKS

First Lady Nancy Reagan was in
Michigan the other day, undoubtedly with
a two-fold mission. She wanted to make
some speeches, shake the hands of some of
the "common folk," but more importantly
Nancy wanted to play Griddes.
Unfortunately Nancy went to Lansing.
Sure there's a Big Ten school near Lansing
but it hardly possesses the intellect to play
Griddes. While it may not be possible to
remedy our First Lady's plight, you can
prevent the same thing from happening to
you by grabbing a map and finding the
Daily at 420 Maynard. Once you've found.

it, bring us your picks by Friday evening.
And remember: playing Griddes is a
moral and decent thing to do. Also if you
win, you will receive a free, one-item,
small pizza from Pizza Bob's - and their
pizza will stick to the heart and fiber of
your American soul.
