The Cubs tied the game 3-3in the bottom of the third when Gary Matthews smashed a McWilliams pitch into the center field seats for his 13th homer and Keith Moreland followed with a solo shot into the left field bleachers.

Al not in any danger NEW YORK (AP)-Former world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali was given test medications by doctors who said he was suffering from "Parkinsonism," or minor symptoms of Parkinson's, disease. And, Ali said he wanted to assure his fans he was not dying. Ali, 42, apparently, did not have Parkinson's disease, a degenerative brain disease, "per se," and experts believed his condition could be con- trolled by medicine, one of his doctors, Martin Ecker, said in a telephone in- terview. - Double trouble ,Associated Press Cincinnati Reds' Pete Rose is cut down at the plate in a 4-2 win over Atlanta last night. The player-manager had already reached base with his 725th double - good for an NL career mark tie with Stan Musial. Rose also extended his own major league record of consecutive 100-hit seasons to 22. "He's not in any danger. It's not a fatal disease," said Ecker, medical director of Ali's boxing management company. "You don't die from what he has and I feel very optimistic that what he has can be controlled by medication." Ali, whose speech was slow and at times slurred,ssaid in a television inter- view that it was possible that boxing had caused his problems, but said he never regretted his ring career because of the good it had allowed him to bring to other people. r s ; rBu Blue By Douglas B. L ei Badgers beware .. . ... conference counts to Bo I T'S unanimous. Last Saturday's 20-11 Wolverine loss to Washington was the absolute worst a Michigan team has looked in a long long long time. Yes, the Wolverines were even worse last weekend than they were three years ago, when as everyone's preseason national champs they were humiliated by the lowly Wisconsin Badgers, 21-14. The Badgers aren't so lowly anymore and they come into Ann Arbor this Saturday all pumped up after taking a 35-34 thriller over Missouri in their last outing. Bo Schembechler knows this is a critical game for his Wolverines. Schembechler has already admitted that this team is not an emotional group as many of his teams were in years past. After last Saturday's dreadfully lackluster ef- fort against an opportunistic Washington Husky team, Bo has guaranteed that his men will be breathing fire. Wisconsin, watch out. "The conference has six really good teams," said Schembechler last spring, "Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan."~ Add the facts that Michigan is coming off such a flat performance and that Wisconsin is the Big Ten opener, and you can bet a semester's tuition that Bo is looking to pound the Badgers into the tartan turf in as ferocious a manner as possible. It's all-important, though, to understand one thing about Michigan's 16-year mastermind. He does not emphasize the non-conference games. Bo's philosophy is that if you schedule non- conference contests you might as well treat fans to the best football feast possible. Everyone will agree that Miami-Fla. and Washington were as delectable appetizers as anything. "I'd rather play the best teams in the country (in pre-season), but our most important game is Wisconsin," said Schembechler, looking to prepare his team for 1984. Bo has one goal, to win the Big Ten champion-. ship and thus qualify for the Rose Bowl. Anything less goes down in the books as a mediocre season. With a 1-1 record and so many unanswered questions about the capabilities of this '84 team, it's sensible to ask if Michigan can win the Big Ten title. A lot on the line Michigan has the ability to take the champion- ship if the weakest unit of the team - the offensive line-can get itself together. "The key for a successful offensive line is lear- ning how to work together," said Schembechler. Thus far, the line, an anonymous group of quality players, has frequently broken down on pass plays. With inadequate protection, quarter- back Jim Harbaugh can not establish an effective passing game. "I don't know what happened out there," said a dejected Doug James, a senior lineman and co- captain after the Washington game. "We've got our work cut out for us, we have to work hard and prove that we can play." This is where Michigan fans can take comfort. Wolverine offensive lines have often started off slowly only to mold into the wrecking machine that Schembechler aims for. Michigan's line is too experienced and too well coached to flounder for much longer. And with the offensive line coming on, the Wolverine defense will surface as one of Michigan's meanest in several seasons. Yes, this Saturday is for all the marbles. Wisconsin is good and it is Big Ten. Schembechler wants his men fired up, he wants a blow out and he wants to answer some nagging questions about his team. The Badgers had better be on their toes.

The Griddes political staff, has learned however, that the whole thing's just a front to get Gerry's Grid- de picks in each week. "She was going to use secret service couriers," said Zaccaro in an exclusive interview, "but this is more efficient. Besides, Mom knows she and Walt would be a weak ticket if one of them didn't do well in Griddes." So if all you Republicans want to strike a crushing blow to the Democratic campaign and /or deprive Gerry of a small Pizza Bob's pizza, bring your picks to the Daily, 420 Maynard, by Friday night.
