Two out- of three games with the Seattle Mariners earlier this week saw pitches headed perilously close to the rookie Detroit Tiger center fielder's head, in Gibson's opinion. 'I CAN'T STAND that," the 6-foot-3, 210-pound former All- America wide receiver for Michigan State said. "That's part of baseball (getting thrown at), I understand that. "But I don't like anybody throwing at my head," said Gib- son, who is a genuine threat to hurt the first pitcher to hit him above his shoulders because he admittedly loses control of his temper. That much was in evidence against Seattle. THE FIRST INCIDENT found Gibson issuing a verbal warning to Shane Rawley. The second time, when Floyd Bannister hit him above the right wrist with a pitch, Gibson took two threatening steps toward the mound. "He didn't mean it. He just lost control of the pitch," Gib- son said. "I was just counting to 10. I was losing my cool about it."

But if you hit me there, I'm going to come out and beat the wheat out of you." "I don't want to get a broken jaw over a game like this," Gibson said after getting hit in Wednesday night's 8-2 Detroit victory. "If I thought he was trying to hit me on purpose, I would have gone out there. "I ASSUME IF they're throwing at my head, they're tying to hurt me. It's ridiculous," said Gibson, whose eight home runs, 14 RBI and .250 batting average constitute a decent start for a rookie with his lack of experience. "I just about got his in the face the other night. That kind of frightens me," said Gibson, whose next door locker room neighbor, Al Cowens, suffered a broken jaw when hit by a pitch two spring ago. "I don't dream of goingout and getting in a fight," he said. "I'm not a violent person. "If I'm going to get hit, I hope it's in the ribs."

The Trojans, seeking their fourth consecutive 400-meter crown and fifth in the past six years, hold the NCAA Mark in that event - 38.6 - set in 1967. SEVEN MICHIGAN athletes were among more than 250 men vying for national honors here. The Big Ten champion Wolverines were represented by sprinter Butch Woolfolk, long jum- pers James Ross and James Henry, high jumper Mike Lattany, hurdler Gary Hicks and distance runners Dave Lewis and Dan Heikkinen. The'Blue Itracksters were scheduled to compete late in the evening. In other events, Texas sophomore Denes Pajtas led 12 qualifiers into Saturday's javelin final with a toss of 255-7. Oregon's highly-regarded Reider Lorentzen could muster only a throw of 222-8 and failed to qualify for today's semifinals. Meanwhile, 15 pole vaulters advan- ced to Saturday's final, all clearing 17 feet. Among those gaining the final were defending champion Paul Pilla of Arkansas State and 1980 Indoor Cham- pion Randy Hall of Texas A&M.
