Gt; ck "5:::a' k S o TOLEDO WINS, 7-4 Blue bats fall short Specialto the Daily TOLEDO - Mark Schweitzer belted a pair of home runs, and Toledo pit- chers Stan Clarke and Mark Van Horn kept Michigan's bats silent for six in- nings yesterday, as the Rockets defeated the Wolverines, 7-4, in a nine- inning non-conference game at Lucas County Stadium. The Blue batsmen tallied all their runs in the seventh inning and took a 4-3 lead before Toledo, led by Schweitzer's second homer of the game, scored four times to go ahead for good. Schweitzer had earlier blasted a round-tripper in the fifth to give the Rockets a 2-0 lead. GEORGE FOUSSIANES singled in the Wolverine first run, but Michigan was held hitless by Clarke and Van Horn until they exploded in the seventh. In that frame, Jim Paciorek reached first on an error, then scored when designated hitter Gerry Hool stroked a double which sailed just inside the bag at third. Lefthander John Foster took the mound and promptly yielded a two- run single to catcher John Young, and Young advanced to second when Tom Fredal walked. Shortstop Tony Evans then singled Young home to tie the game at 4-4. However; a mixup in signals proved to be costly for the Wolverines on the same play. As Young was headed home, Evans attempted to leg out a second base on the throw. But Coach Bud Middaugh had instructed Fredal to remain on second. The Rockets ended the confusion by flagging down Evans in a rundown between first and second. TIM KARAZIM, who took over from starter Dave Nuss in the sixth, absor- bed the loss, his second against one win. John Foster, the third Rocket hurler of the afternoon, picked up the win and ex- tended his record to 7-4. The Wolverines dropped to 30-14-1 overall with the loss. They play a non- conference doubleheader against the University of Detroit at Fisher Stadium, with game at 1 p.m. FOUL TIPS: The batsmen finally found themselves in the top spot this week in the state baseball poll.

By The AssociatedPress The United States campaign to enlist support for its boycott of the Moscow Olympics was dealt a severe blow yesterday when France, one of the leaders in Western Europe, decided to attend the Summer Games. Claude Collard, president of the French Olympic Committee, said the committee's vote to attend the Games was unanimous and based strictly on sports considerations and not on political motives. "The athletes are in a very difficult psychological state and our decision was very much influenced by the con- cern we have for their morale," Collard said. "We refuse that our athletes be used for political ends." Collard said the decision was made after consultation with all the sports federations in France. He said 17 of the federations had voted in favor of par- ticipation, four wanted to delay the decision and two were opposed to going. Even more important than France to President Carter's boycott strategy is West Germany, which is expected to make its decision Thursday. Last week, the presidium to West Germany's National Olympic Committee recom- mended a boycott. The deadline for accepting in- vitations to Moscow is May 24. Other nations yet to reach a decision on the boycott are Israel, Spain, South Korea, Turkey and Uruguay. However, Israel took a step toward joining the boycott forces when a parliamentary committee, the Knesset Sports Committee, recommended yesterday that its athletes stay home. The Israeli Olympic Committee is to meet May 22 and make a final decision. The committee adopted a resolution calling for Israel to1bycott the games. At the same time, the resolution ap- pealed to the United States to help prevent future boycotts similar to those Israeli athletes have often faced. "This recommendation will be placed before the members," committee member Shmuel Lalkin said. "But I don't know what the impact will be. "You cannot ignore it altogether, but we'll have to wait," he said. The decision to attend or boycott the Games must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the committee's 24 mem- bers, Lalkin said, but he would not predict the outcome of the vote. "It's very narrow. It's a hard case." Prime Minister Menachem Begin has said Israel should support the boycott. One nation which will go to Moscow is the new African country of Zimbabwe, formerly the British colony of Rhodesia. The International Olympic Committee admitted Zimbabwe into the Olympic family yesterday. "It's a great day," said Frank Lin- coln, president of the Zimbabwe Olym- pic Committee. "The International Olympic Commit- tee is instructing the Moscow Organizing Committee to send us an in- vitation and we will certainly accept." The Carter administration was pic- tured as "extremely disappointed" Tuesday by the French Olympics committee's decision to go to the Moscow Games. It remained hopeful, however, that other U.S. allies in Europe would support President Car- ter's position, said Jane Wales, a spokeswoman for the State Depar- tment. Another source, who asked not to be identified, said administration strategists had hoped the French would postpone their vote until after the West German committee meets on Thursday because it was hoped the German vote might influence the French. "Our hope was really for a delay," the source said. "We knew if they voted today they would vote to go." Asked if the French vote was likely to influence the Germany committee members, who now know they would not be the only Western European nation sending a team, the source said: "That is a risk. The German vote is the most significant because many nations have said, they would follow Germany. No other nation said it would follow France."
