Men's tennis vs. Notre Dame Today, 2:30 p.m. Track and Tennis Building SPORTS Softball vs. Detroit Today, 3:30 p.m. 'M' Varsity Diamond -The Michigan Daily Wednesday, April 10, 1985 Page 7 turns 1 By DAVE ARETHA Michigan has won its share of lopsided games this year. It has routed a few teams and embarassed others. But it was not until yesterday that the Wolverines pulled the ultimate in one-sided victories. They scored and scored and scored so much yesterday against Wayne State that the Ray Fisher Stadium scoreboard ran out of numbers. MICHIGAN whipped, beat, and creamed the Tar- tars so badly, it exceded the nineteen run scoreboard limit, winning 21-1. The game got so out of hand that coach Bud Mid- daugh actually used team manager and sixth-string catcher Buddy Dodge to pinch-hit and freshman pit- cher Jim Agemy at first base. Apropriately, both players responded with basehits. THE CHANCE to use the bench was in fact one of the best things about yesterday's snoozer. "It's nice to play all your players," Middaugh said, "because we had an awful tough weekend and played a lot of ball. You play in this kind of weather and it takes a lot out of your people. And when you get in a situation where you can utilize your bench, it's good for team morale." Team morale was certainly high against Wayne State. The Wolverines batted around four times, weaving their rallies into a symmetric pattern. Michigan knocked in six runs each in the second and eighth innings. The Wolverines scored four times in both the third and seventh innings, and to balance out the scoring pattern, they scored one in the fifth. Michigan pounded out 22 hits, including 13 extra- base blows. The extra-base breakdown read nine doubles, one triple and three home runs. TWO PLAYERS, Mike Watters and Ken Hayward, were just one hit away from hitting for the cycle. Watters needed a home run while Hayward was 'artars to mush, 21 -1 lacking a triple. Hayward, however, could be forgiven since he only played the first four innings. Hitting was not the only overpowering force the Tartars had to deal with. Michigan pitchers Casey Close and John Grettenberger limited Wayne State to just one hit. Close was particularly impressive, pitching six scoreless innings and allowing one single. Close had a no-hitter until the sixth when Tartar catcher Christos Geogvassilis grounded a ball off reserve shortstop Jeff Kiel's glove. The hit could have been easily scored an error. But with the game so far out of hand, Close said he was not upset about the scoring decision. A no-hitter is not so amazing when your own teammates are scoring 21 runs. "IT KIND of got taken out ofthe spirit because we were ahead so much," Close said. "It made it a little different." Close's six innings yesterday were his first real workout on the mound this year. The junior right- hander was a regular on the staff last season but has pitched only three innings this year because of a leg injury. Middaugh said yesterday's fine outing will get Close untracked. "I think he showed signs of being the pitcher we think he's capable of being," Middaugh said. "He just needs a lot of innings to reinstate some confidence in himself. Michigan's defeat of Wayne State still left the Tar- tars with a respectable 6-4 record. If they lost by 20 runs to the Wolverines, God help the 1-11 Detroit Titans, who host the Wolverines today in a doubleheader.

Close kept the Tartars scoreless for six innings and allowed only one hit in the victory. Survey shows Canham is best A.D. By PHIL NUSSEL The awards and honors keep piling up for Michigan Athletic Director Don Canham. Canham was voted the nation's top athletic director in a poll published Monday by The Arizona Republic. He received 81 points to place well ahead of the University of Washington's Mike Lude, who had only 28 points. The poll was conducted at the NCAA *basketball tournament in Lexington, Ky. last weekend. It surveyed 48 members of the sports community including NCAA officials, conference commissioners, athletic direc- tors, coaches and sportswriters. "IT'S A GREAT satisfaction because I look down that list and I see some people on the list that are better' athletic directors The Michigan baseball team likes to think of itself as a cohesive group - a family almost. But while the Wolverines hesitate to admit it, there exists a four-tier hierarchy on the team. At the top you have the regulars, like Barry Larkin and Kurt Zimmerman. Following them are the key reserves, like Eddie Woolwine and Hal Morris, and then the pine warmers, such as Paul Wenson. But even below the bench-sitters there exists another group - the student managers. THE STUDENT MANAGERS are a young, small, semi-talented group that submits itself to handling the team's equipment chores in hope of someday making the team. Managers get the bats and balls and bases in place, dreaming of playing part-time in a couple of years. But yesterday, one managers dream came true a lot earlier than expected. In the seventh inning of Michigan's 21-1 blowout of Wayne State, coach Bud Middaugh decided to reward sophomore Buddy Dodge 'for his two years of dedicated service. He called Dodge over and told him to bat for outfielder Chris Gust. Fellow manager John Fleisig jumped to his feet when he saw his pal step into the batter's box with runners on first and second. He watched tensely as Dodge, listed as a sixth-string catcher, fell behind on two quick strikes. But when Dodge singled to right - an opposite field line drive that was hit so hard the man on second couldn't score - Fleisig jumped, hooted and hollered. "WHO NEEDS Chrysler when we got Dodge?" Flesig shouted. Fleisig was thrilled, but understandably Dodge was even happier. "I was just tremendously happy," Dodge said, smiling euphorically. "It was one of the things that I really wanted bad. I'm just really happy, and I'm just really thankful, and ... boy, I don't know how to tell ya." I'm just really happy, and I'm just really thankful, and ... boy, I don't know how to tell ya.' -Student Manager Buddy Dodge Dodge said he feels like part of the team for the first time. "I just sit and watch everybody else contribute to the team, but then something like this happens to me. Now I feel I've contributed a little bit to some of the success that we've had this year." -DAVE ARETHA than I am, so it's flattering," Canham said. The only other Big Ten athletic director who received votes on more than two ballots was Ohio State's Rick Bay, a former Michiganwrestling coach. Canham said receiving honors like this is what keeps him going. "I've had a few problems in the last year and sometimes you get discouraged," he said. "Everyone wants to get appreciated. If I said that I didn't get a kick out of it, I'd be lying to you. It's satisfying if nothing else." Canham has been the top man in the athletic department since 1968. He became a part of the administration in 1948 when he was chosen head track coach. He is only the fifth athletic director in Michigan history.

MILLER Gymnast Mitch Rose will represent Michigan at the NCAA mens gym- nastics championships Friday and Saturday at Lincoln, Nebraska. Rose will. compete on the still rings. ° He qualified for an at-large bid with a - season average of 9.58. Rose will also be an alternateon the high bar. MICHIGAN COACH Bob Darden was pleased that Rose was rewarded for his hard work this season. "Mitch making the NCAA indicates the amount of ef- fort he has put into the sport," said Darden. "It is a big honor for him." If Rose performs to his potential, Darden feels Rose could place highly. "Mitch could be among the- upper echelon of competitors in the rings if he has good routines," said Darden. "The * highest averages on the rings were n about 9.7, and this score is well within :*Mitch's bounds." Although it would be nice, Rose doesn't expect to win an NCAA title. He is just looking forward to competing against the most talented gymnasts in the country. - "It is a great chance for me to gain experience at a high level of com- petition. I have nothing to prove, and I .am just going to have a good time and show what I can do," said Rose. "I wish I had some of my teammates going with me, and hopefully some will next season.- Rowers top one event plMichigan's rowing club managed to place first in one of five events last weekend at Eagle Creek Resevoir in Indianapolis, Ind. The novice men's lightweight eight 'A' team finished ahead of Witchita State and the light- weight eight 'B' team. a Both the novice and the varsity men's heavyweight eight rowed to second hplace finishes, both behind Purdue and -?ahead of Kansas University. It could have been the rough and choppy waters that left the novice and Kthe varsity women's eight in third place behind University of Kansas and Pur- -:due. The weather conditions were bad enough to cancel all the fours com- petiton. Michael Cook announced yesterday that he was maintaining "the court's denail to supress evidence." SKILES, a starting guard for the Spartans, is charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a con- trolled substance. His trial is scheduled to begin April 16. Defense attorney Charles Scruggs of Kokomo had made the motion to supress evidence, claiming it was ob- tained illegally. The charges were filed last Septem- ber. Plymouth city policeman Jose Duenex testified at an earlier hearing that on the night of Aug.29 he found and questioned Skiles in a car parked on the lawn of the officer's mother. He said that after Skiles identified himself, he voluntarily gave the officer a plastic bag containing marijuana and later gave him a bag containing one in- ch plastic vials that appeared to hold cocaine. Skiles, who led Plymouth High School to the 1982 Indiana high school basket- ball championship, has claimed the drugs did not belong to him. Skiles is also scheduled for an April 16 trial in /East Lansing on a charge of drunken driving. Is passive smoking more than a minor nuisance or real annoyance?. That's a broad and vague statement being made in a nation-wide, multi- million dollar campaign by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. For. those who are fortunate not to have a chronic lung or heart disease, who don't suffer from allergies, or who may not have an acute respiratory illness that may be true. However, medical evidence is conclusive: passive smoking is injurious to a large number of individuals - young and old, rich and poor, and from any ethnic group.

But who has the right i a" public place to give some innocent bystander what the to- bacco industry down plays as a "minor nui- sance" or "real annoyance"? According to the tobacco industry, smok- ing is a personal decision made by adults. Unfortunately the sidestream smoke from a cigarette, pipe or cigar becomes public, af- fecting everyone around, and therefore should be subject to certain rules, controls and laws to protect people in public places. If we can have laws to protect us from outdoor air pollution, why -,t for indoor pollution from toxic tobacco smoke? The tobacco industry complains about nonsmokers: "Total strang ers feel free to abuse us verbally in public without warning." That's usually the re- sult when someone assaults another, and being forced to breathe another's tobacco smoke is considered assault. The majority of Americans are nonsmokers. There's something wrong with the system when those in the minority can have such a drastic effect on the majority ... and that's what so often happens when smokers' sides- tream smoke invades the public air space of nonsmokers.
