SPOR TS OF THE VAIL Y
'M' runners head to NCAA meet

4

By JEFF FAYE
The catchword for this weekend's
NCAA Track championships in
Houston, Texas is no different than it
has been all year for both Michigan
teams - "Distance".
For.Jack Harvey's men's squad, the
participants are few, but not without
potential for national crowns. The only
two qualifiers are Gerard Donakowski
in the 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs and
Brian Deimer in the five- and 10-
kilometers and the 3,000-meter
steeplechase.
HARVEY HOLDS legitimate hopes of
succeas - if only by the virtue of the
pair finishing third and fourth in the in-
door two-mile finals. In addition, this is
the last meet for the "Dynamic Duo" as
collegians. The sum of all this is the
possibility of several interesting races.
The best of these may be the 3,000
steeplechase. In the conference finals,
Deimer ran an 8:36.80, more than six
seconds ahead of the second-place
finisher and exactly nine seconds
quicker than the qualifying time.
It is not certain yet whether Deimer
will run all three races he has
qualifyied for and whether Donakowski
will run both of his, but in all
probability the pair will enter all their
races.
THE WOMEN thinclads stand much
better for placing at the meet. Just like
the men; their strength lies in the
distance events. Leading the way, as
she has all year, is Sue Frederick-
Foster. She is entered in three events,
the 800-, 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs.
Joining her are Melanie Weaver in the
3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meters, Lisa Lar-
sen in the 5,000 and 10,000 and Sue
Schroeder in the 3,000. Unfortunately,
though, Schroeder was injured at the
Big Ten championships and did not
make the trip to Houston.
Again, it is not clear as to who will
run in which events, but if Frederick-

Foster does not run all three of her
races she will probably skip the 800
meters because it is her weakest event.
Melanie Weaver most likely will not
participate in all three of her events,
bowing out of the 5,000 meters. She
placed second in the 10,000 and third in
the 3,000 at conference. Larsen is
almost a sure bet to enter the 5,000 (she
placed second at Big Tens) and may
double in the 10,000, where she placed
fifth two weeks ago.
THE BLUE also is sending freshman
sensation Joyce Wilson to the meet. She
has qualified for the 400- and 800-
meters, but may only run in the former.
Although the field events are not
really a strength of the team, once
again Joanna Bullard has qualified for
the high jump. She hopes she will do
much better than her third place per-
formance at the Big Tens two weeks
ago.
Lastly, despite a fourth place finish in
the conference meet, the 4x400-meter
relay team of Martha Gray, Darlene
Fortman, Joyce Wilson and Brenda
Kazinec is heading down South to try to
improve on its last performance.
As far as both teams are concerned,
nothing has changed. All this year the
distance people have led the way for
these two squads. Perhaps women's
coach Francie Goodridge said it best:
"All we can hope for is that the distance
people can carry us all the way."
Yankees 3, Angels 0
NEW YORK (AP) - Ron Guidry
fired a five-hitter and designated hitter
Bobby Murcer, appearing in only his
fifth game of the season, broke up a
scoreless duel in the sixth inning with
his first home run since last July 28 as
the New York Yankees went on to
defeatr the California Angels, 3-0, last
night for their sixth consecutive vic-
tory.

Oscar Gamble added a two-run
homer later in the sixth inning while
Guidry, 7-3, pitched his third shutout
and fourth complete game.
California's Dave Goltz, 0-3, making
his first start in exactly one month, was
working on a two-hitter until Murcer hit
the first pitch of the sixth for the 252nd
home run of his 15-year major league
career. Murcer, who turned 37 last
month, was in the starting lineup for
just the third time and the homer
marked his first run batted in of the
season.
One out later, Goltz walked Dave
Winfield and Gamble followed with his

ded a three-run shot last night as the
Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red
Sox, 8-3.
Kittle, who entered the game tied
with Kansas City's George Brett and
California's Doug DeCinces for the
American League home run lead, hit a
towering smash into the left-field
screen after Tom Paciorek singled off
Boston starter John Tudor, 3-3. The
homer was Kittle's fourth in six games.
The White Sox, winning for the fifth
time in six games, jumped to a 2-0 lead
with a run in the first on a double by
Carlton Fisk and Harold Baines' single.
McEnroe humiliated
PARIS (AP) - Mats Wilander toyed
with John McEnroe on the slow clay of
Roland Garros stadium yesterday,
ousting America's last hope of cap-
turing the French Open men's singles
title it hasn't won in 28 years.
McEnroe suffered one of the most
humiliating defeats of his career as he
fell 1-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 in the quarterfinals
of the $1.3 million tournament, the
year's first Grand Slam event.
JUST A GAME and a point away
from grabbing a 2-1 lead in sets,
McEnroe lost 23 points in a row and 40
out of the last 47 to the defending cham-
pion.
"It was terrible, the way I played,"
McEnroe said.
The last quarterfinal was halted by
rain and bad light after 4 hours, 13
minutes, not including a 1%-hour rain
delay. Jose Higueras of Spain led
Guillermo Vilas of Argentina 6-2, 6-7, 6-
1, 4-6, 2-1.
The winner will play Wilander. The
other semifinal is between two Fren-
chmen, Yannick Noah and Christophe
Roger-Vasselin.
o s Jays;
nph, 3-1
then stepped to the plate and singled
through the box to score Parish.
Toronto threatened in the eighth
when Barry Bonnell and Alfredo Grif-
fin got on with singles but both were
caught stealing.
Detroit took the lead in the bottom of
the eighth when Lou Whitaker started a
rally with a two-out double up the mid-
dle. Designated hitter Kirk Gibson
singled him home with a liner over
.second base. That made the score 2-1.
Left fielder Larry Herndon walked to
push Gibson to second and Parrish
doubled down the left-field line to bring
him home and give the Tigers a 3-1 vic-
tory.
Rozema pitched eight full innings for
Detroit with Aurelin Lopez putting
Toronto down 1-2-3 in the ninth.

By JOE CHAPELLE
Special to theDaily
DETROIT - An eighth inning rally-
was the key for the Tigers as they drop-
ped the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-1 before
9,586 fans at Tiger Stadium last night.
The Tigers fell behind early as
Detroit starter Dave Rozema gave up a
home run on the third pitch of the game
to Toronto second baseman Damaso
Garcia. Facing a 2-0 count, Garcia
parked the ball in the left-field second
deck.
THE SCORE remained 1-0 in favor of
Toronto for the next six innings. Detroit
then tied the game in the seventh when
Tiger catcher Lance Parrish led off
with a hard-hit double down the left
field line. Right fielder Glenn Wilson
