A-10 Alton Evening Telegraph Wednesday, May 19,1971 Canonero II is not in Citation class OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) "Citation would beat him by 20 lengths." H.A, "Jimmy" spoko with pardonable pride today In discussing an imaginary race between the last winner of racing's Triple Crown in 1948 and Canonero II who seems destined to become the first 3-year-old to win the Triple Crown after nearly a quarter of a century. Canonero II, a Kentucky- bred, but Venezuelan-owned colt, startled the expeerts by coming from far back to win the Kentucky Derby, then taking the Preakness after a front running duel with Eastern Fleet, a recognized speed horse. The Belmont Stakes, at a testing half and one-mile, will Minnesota gets Clyde Turner MINNEAPOLIS, inn. (AP) A junior college transfer from Illinois has signed a letter of intent to enroll at the University of Minnesota.

Bill Musselman, head basketball coach at Minnesota, announced Tuesday the signing of Clyde Turner, who averaged more than 20 points and nine rebounds per game last season for Robert Morris Junior College, Carthage, 111. The 200-pounder, who was named to the official National Junior College Ail-American first team, will have two with the Gophers. "There is no question but that he can help right away," Musselman said. be raced at Belmont Park in New York on June 5. "What do you think would happen if it were possible for Citation, in his prime, and Canonero II to race each other?" Jones was asked.

"I would have to think that Cy would beat him by 20 lengths." replied Jones who trained Citation for Calumet Farm before he became Director of Racing at Monmouth Park here. "Maybe I'm prejudiced, but (hat's my opinion." "Citation could to everything." Jones said. "He was capable of two or three moves in a race and could kill you in an eighth of a mile." Jones emphasized he was not downgrading Canonero II. "He's a pretty fair horse who has shown he can come from behind or run on the lead. It's just that up to now I wouldn't think he belongs in the same class as Citation." Jones saw both the Ken- I Derby and the Preakness and will be on hand for the Belmonl.

Told that Johnny Campo, trainer of Jim French and Good Behaving plans to run both in the Belmont, Jones commented that it would be "hard to set a trap for Cano- nero." Jones noted that the Belmont has been "a killer potentail champions. There's been many an upset. As of now I think Canonero II would win, but you never know what will happen." Perhaps he had in mind how Citation, the 1-5 favorite, stumbled at the start of the 1948 Belmont. but fortunately recovered and went on to win by eight lengths in Stars shining out Schaake shakes Ken Schaake of Edwardsville makes it ment game.

10-14 for the right to move into next week's Springfield Sectional. Blackman has pleasing look CHAMPAIGN "All things cosidered, I'd say that we were pleased with the progress we made this spring." That is new University of Illinois football coach Bob Blackman's assessment of liis first spring practice in 17 years and, of course, his first at the helm of the Illini. Blackman watched from the sidelines last Saturday as the Blues outpointed the Orange, 37-28, in a wide-open offensive show that left no doubt in the minds of the 8,927 paid fans that Illini Football, 1971, will be exciting to watch. Razzle-dazzle plays included a cross field lateral on a kickoff return that found sophomore halfback George Uremovich scampering 92 yards for a touchdown. Orange punter Terry Masar passing for a first down out of punt formation and a pair of halfback option passes by sophomore Ed Jenkins.

Mike Wells, junior quarterback from Normal, guided the Blues' offense impressively and solidified his first-string position by completing 18 of 29 passes for 300 yards his finest performance ever for the Illini. Sophomore split-end Garvin Roberson (8 receptions, 127 yards), senior halfback Darrell Robinson (G receptions, 137 yards) and junior fullback Mike Navarro (8 carries. 49 yards) also gave the Blues solid performances. For the Orange, Coach Blackman had praise for senior quarterback Bobby Quinn, who survived a strong Blue rush and completed seven of 13 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. The Orange performed much of the afternoon without the services of two promising rookie backs Jenkins and fullback John Wilson, who left the hard-hitting game early in the first half with minor injuries.

Both are expected to be healthy for the fall drills, which open Aug. 23. Tab Bennett, 6-foot-2, 240- pound junior tackle, was Ihe outstanding defensive performer of the day with 12 solo tackles and two assists. Bennett, a sophomore standout in spite of injuries in the last half of last season, emerged from spring drills as an All-American candidate in the opinion of the coaching staff. He has amazing quickness and is one of the fastest men on the team.

The stopwatch earlier this spring caught him in 4.6 seconds for the 40-yard dash. "While we had only 15 days of actual practice sessions and five full-scale scrimmages, I would say that we accomplished our main goals this spring," Blackman. said Tuesday. "We improved our attitude and learned to hustle on the practice field. I'm really impressed with the way we out last Saturday and played with spirit.

We could have appeared lethargic due to the 85 degree temperature." Looking ahead to next fall, Blackman designated the offensive line as "our biggest trouble Only co-captain and junior Larry McCarren will return as a starter from last season. Five players are still i he battle for the guard spots. "The defense has the capability to be a good one. We're counting on Willie Lee, a transfer from Wright Junior College, to step in and help the defensive line," Blackman says. The linebacking corps finds three sophomores bidding for starting duties.

Octavus Morgan from Maywood (Proviso East), John Gener from Chicago (Mendel) and Chuck Kogut from Marmion Academy in Chicago, were impressive and appear ready to challenge upperclassmen when practice begins next August. important rover position is expected to produce a spirited battle between senior Dan Darlington of Morris and sophomore Greg Colby from Danville, who has been moved from outside linebacker because junior Ken Braid has apparently recovered from knee surgery. Blaukman and staff made several position changes prior to spring drills. In most Instances, they appeared satisfied with the switches, but Monday they made two other changes for fall: Junior Mike Walker will return to offense as a running back after a tryout at rover; Ted Singleton will move to defensive end after working at defensive tackle. Blackman noted that Wells showed vast improvement at quarterback this spring.

"However," added Blackman, "Wells still must back lo pass faster, learn better balance and release the ball quicker. There is no question thai Mike impressed us last Saturday with his ability to run the option plays. He ran many varieties of the option and showed some impressive running ability." Blackman indicated that Navarro will return in August as the No. 1 fullback with the talented Wilson in the second slot. "Navarro just graded out higher the last two weeks, but I expect a real battle for that poison all through the fall workouts," he said.

The Illini will report for fall drils on Aug. 23 and open the 1971 season with Big Ten opponent Michigan State at East Lansing on Sept. 11. the earliest opening in history for Illinois football. Lebanon.

16-12, and Roxana, 12-7, the only winning clubs of this four-team meet, will watching from the sidelines eliminated. Leflhanded pitcher Rick Hofedifz of Edwardsville's Tigers flirted with perfection before doling out two dinky infield hits in beating Roxana, 2-0, here Tuesday. He retired the first 12 Shells he faced backed by some centerfield circus catches by Dave Schoenleber before Roxana's Mark Scroggins legged out a lead-off hit in the fifth. With one away in the same inning, Mike Toner also reached first on a high, windblown blooper that fell a few feet behind Tiger shortstop Dave Schaake. Hofedifz got out of the mess easily, fanning first Mark Kratschmer and forcing Steve Hammond to ground out.

A seventh inning error by shortstop Schaake gave a life to Steve Tinsley, the only other Shell to reach first. Lefthanded Reggie Fox of Roxana was the victim of Edwardsville's two unearned runs, set up by an en-ant tag at second base in the first inning. 1 Clll' 779 Ll-o The Alton Lakers upped their record 4-0 in the Women's Twilight Fast Pitch Softball League with an 17-3 romp over Fail-view Tuesday night at Northside Playground. Ten hits by the Lakers and eight errors by Fairview made it easy for the local team. Lee Sievers was the whining pitcher and Nancy Thies the loser.

Triples were hit by Fairview's Jean Henry and Miss Thies and doubles were smacked by Lea Plarski and Becky Saylor of the Lakers. Irene Mezzano had two hits for he Lakers and scored three runs.

Twins Hornets 12, Rams 2 hand VANCOUVER, B.C. (AP) The second game of the world chess championship quarterfinal match between grand- masters Bobby Fischer of the Unite'd States and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union was adjourned Tuesday night on the 45th move. Fischer, playing white, was a pawn ahead and in a position where he normally would force a win. The game was to be continued Wednesday. Tim Klobnak, a left-handed hitter, nicked an opposite field single just inside the third base line with one out to start Fox' woes.

Schoenleber, the third Tiger batsman of the inning, hit a perfect double play ball to Roxana second baseman Mark Scroggins. Scroggins first hobbled the ball and then tried to tag the oncoming Klobnak while holding it in his bare hand, only to see it knocked lose from his grasp. Both runners were safe. Hofedifz then helped his own cause by singling Klobnak home, after which, John Schnack, the sixth Tiger hitter, slammed Fox' first offering into center, sending Schoenleber across the plate. Fox saw base traffic in each one of the four innings he pitched thereafter except the fifth.

And a force out double play got him out of a sticky situation in the third. But when he gave up back- to-back walks to Schnack and Paul King at the outset of the 'sixth, Roxana coach Charley Raich decided a change was necessary. Righthanded Ron Miller finished out the inning unscathed, although Edwardsville had runners at second and third with only one out. Hofedifz struck out four and walked none, upping his record to 4-5. "His record isn't indicative of his true ability," asserted winning coach Bob Gregor.

Nobody argued the point. "Rick's earned run average is two runs per game," added Gregor, guessing. The loss was Fox', first one of a 4-1 season. He yielded six hits, walked six, struck out one and was charged with a wild pitch. Schnack of the Tigers had a two-for-two day, the only player to get more than one safety.

The Stars, transplanted to Utah from Los Angeles this season, had just whipped the Kentucky Colonels, 131-121, Tuesday night to win the seventh and final game of the American Basketball Association championship playoffs.

"It was a fantastic year," Sharman said, "especially when you consider we started with 10 almost unknown It was a great team effort, like it was all year. "But Kentucky, with Artis Gilmore, will be the team to beat next year." "We just didn't hit the hoop when we should have," said Kentucky coach Frank Ramsey, walking alone through the Salt Palace Parking lot. "Our boys don't have to hang their heads all summer thinking about what they didn't do," Ramsey said. "We played a good game, but Utah played great." Utah, on the shooting of Zelmo Beaty, who finished with 36 points, led all the way after going on top 41-40 in the first half on Glen Combs' basket. The Stars, shrugging off Dan Issel's 41-point scoring pace, pulled away to an 11- point with two minutes left after Darel Carrier's three-pointer pulled the Colonels to within four at 116-112 with five minutes to go.

Utah's Mike Butler came off the bench and made every shot he took in the last minute, hitting a three- pointer, a two-pointer, and two free throws, Cincy Powell backed up Issel for Kentucky with 19 points and 20 rebounds. Carrier, who hit four straight shots late in the third quarter, including three for three for three points each, scored 31. Willie Wise scored 22 and grabbed 20 including 17 off die defensive boards. Combs added 20, all In the first half when Utah took a 61-54 lead. Kentucky forward Jim Ligon fell In the first half and Injured his back.

From there on, Utah commanded the boards, out-rebounding the Colonels, 71-59. Kentucky, which faltered after taking a 32-28 first quarter lead, retained its record of never having won in the Salt Palace. The Colonels squeeked by In three playoff games In Louisville, Utah took the other four by comfortable margins. The Colonels, a division runner-up like Utah, lost to the Stars three times in Utah during the regular season. Kentucky got by Miami and Virginia in Eastern division breezed by Texas in four games before meeting Indiana.

The Stars set a pro basketball attendance record for a first-year franchise, averaging 7,122 a game, including the sellout of 13,260 Tuesday night despite the game being televised locally. A funny thing: 12 errors and 12-0 and CM is in final The Pittsburgh Pirates started the National League season with pitchers who showed a 94-81 won-lost record for their 1970 major league activity. STAUNTON Twelve errors by Worden enabled Civic Memorial to romp to a 12-0 five-inning Regional victory here Tuesday. The game was called because of the 10-run rule. Today the F.agles oppose Raymond Lincolnwood for the championship at 4 o'clock.

Steve Fatten was the Eagles' winning pitcher against Worden. He hurled four innings, allowed three hits, fanned six and walked one. Dennis Vazzi was tagged for the loss.
