DIAL WIBA SPORTS SERVICE 213-2501 'Ivan Yarygin holds the peace of home Siberia as close to his heart as his Olympic gold. The magnificent Rus ian wrestler affirmed his love for the natural life Tuesday afternoon while speaking through an interpreter, Will Simons, a UW law student.

MADISON, Wednesday, May 23, 1973 the night will be 445-pound Chris Taylor who will tangle with 280-pound Soslan Andiyev. Itll be experience (Taylor) against youth, said Amancha Akpayev, head coach of the Soviets. As wrestlers say, the mat will show. By far the youngest performer Jimmy Carr of Erie, had a rough go of it yesterday. The 17-year-old high school junior was delayed 90-minutes in Chicago and didnt arrive in Madison until late in the evening.

He then trained for an hour or so to get down to his weight of 114-pounds. He finally made it to bed early this morning. By that time, Ivan Yarygin already had four hours of sleep. exercise with someone. Yarygin, a 24-year-old student, has been duly impressed with the progress of the Americans in international freestyle competition.

If (USA) is a very strong team one of the worlds strongest, he praised. You can tell because they always win two or three medals. I was very impressed by Gable (Dan, since retired) and the Petersons boys. They are very good. The Petersons, John and Ben, will also be featured in the dual meet.

John draws Viktor Novozhi-kow, an 180-pounder he defeated recently, 2-1. Ben will try to even the count with Levan Tedisashvili in the tle sore, but Im going to give it a try said Hellickson, a competitor in the 220-pound class. Yarygin is a very physical person and I find it very easy to see why he won the Olympics I certainly have a lot of respect for him. Yarygin had a perfect Olympic record seven matches and seven pins. Since then, he has cut down somewhat in training, prefering to save his peak condition for the prized Siberian tournament in late June.

However, he still works out up to six and seven hours a day. I like to run, said Yarygin, a perfect mass of muscle and coordination. I dont like the weights I much prefer to romp 16-4 in the Cup games at Toledo, Ohio. a Hellickson will wrestle on tape and pride tonight against Yarygin who pinned and subsequently injured him last Satur day. His left shoulder will be heavily bandaged to protect a slight ligament pull and his upward arm movement will be severely restricted.

Im fair to middling and a lit 198-pound category. Tedisashvili edged1 Peterson earlier, 5-4. The Americans have improved their technique very greatly in a short time, corn-men Tedisashvili, a gold medal winner at Munich. They pose a very strong threat and they have come up in class since we met in Rus sia." Two Wisconsin standouts and Big Ten champs Rich Lawin-ger and Ed Vatch will help spice the talented affair. Lawinger will probably face gold medalist Zagalav Abdulbe-koy, while Vatch will meet a Russian championship prize winner, Ruslan Asuraliyev.

But the biggest attraction of This (America) is a many sided country and there are many aspects to it. One aspect of which will be supremely tested this evening at the Field House: competition. The United States will play host to the Soviet Union in an unparalleled 10-match card beginning at 7:30 p.m. Russia has a very, very tough squad, noted assistant Wisconsin coach Russ Hellick-son. You have to realize that America has never beaten them.

I feel our team is a little stronger now than it was in To- Fred MILVERSTEDT V- Brewers Rally for Four In Ninth to Win, 4 to The Wrestler 4-' -'v mmm Lahoud Has Timely Hit Olympic skier Suzie Chaffee, left, and Olympic swimming champion Donna DeVarona, appear before the Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday in Washington.

(AP Wirephoto) BOSTON The race in the American League East is close as expected with just one major surprise: the Milwaukee Brewers are counting themselves in for a share of the fun.

Weve been playing well, Milwaukee Manager Del Cran-all said Tuesday night after the Brewers broke a scoreless tie in the ninth and then held on for a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Weve been getting good pitching, but its been a combination of things, Crandall said. A hit there, a walk there, a lot of things. And everybody has been chipping in, doing his job. The Brewers were checked on two hits for eight innings by southpaw John Curtis, who was sharp in Fenway Parks so-called graveyard of left-handers.

Then Ellie Rodriquez, retired easily in his first three trips to the plate, led off the ninth with a ground single just past third-baseman Rico Petrocelli, slowed almost to a walk by a bad knee. Gorman Thomas ran for Rodriquez as Dave May, one of the leagues top sluggers with 10 homers stepped to the plate, May put down a near perfect bunt, sacrificing Thomas to second. East Surprises in Win in Class A began when Brewers Joe Lahond hit a single to right with the bases loaded. The Brewers won, 4-2, as they rallied for four runs in the ninth.

It all By ERIC HILLSTROM (Of The Capital Times Staff) Steve Lacy of McFarland and Kjell Kaashagen of Cambridge, two old cross country rivals, chatted amiably as they warmed up with a leisurely jog around the Monona Grove Then the junior duo let their feet do the talking as they turned in outstanding individ- White Sox Boost Lead Over Angels Twitchell Is Fine Hurler, Not Hitter The last time I saw Russ Hellickson was on Tuesday afternoon, watching a workout in the wrestling quarters at Camp Randall Stadium. He was sitting on a bench in his street clothes, near the edge of the mat, looking uncomfortable and out of place among a roomful of muscular, sweating young men tustling about him in trunks and gleaming bare chests. He Was wearing western-style levis; a green, short-sleeved pullover shirt; and a slightly contrasting green sling, which looped and fastened behind his thickset neck in support of his left arm, which hung firmly in place across his abdomen at a 90 degree angle. He was looking at the reason why. The reason why is Ivan Yarygin, a blue-eyed, red-haired, 24-year-old wrestler from the Soviet Union who spreads 220 pounds over an awesome, statuesque frame that might have been hammered and chiseled out of a granite block cornerstone from the Tomb of Lenin.

They laugh when they tell the story, but when you take a look at him, you cant help but wonder when they say Yarygin was discovered in Siberia, battling a bear over an antelope carcass and getting the best of the fight when the coaches dragged him away. Last weekend, in their first meeting, wrestling for the World Cup in Toledo, Hellickson replaced the bear. Their match was less than a minute old when the Russian caught him in a firemans carry, slammed him to the mat, threw in a half-nelson, pried upwards, and nearly tore his arm off at the clavicle. When Yarygin bent it up high alongside his head, just before he pinned him, most of the rotator muscles in Hellicksons left shoulder stretched and snapped like so many rubber bands. Earlier Tuesday afternoon, mulling over his injury in the deserted wrestling room, an hour or two before the Russian team arrived for its workout, Hellickson could lift the arm no higher than the height of his shoulder; painfully, and with great effort.

Somberly his disappointment laid bare, he talked of the decision that was weighing heavily upon his mind. On the one hand, the emotional illogical, Hellickson had to wrestle Yarygin again tonight, at the Fieldhouse, in the dual meet between the Russians and the U.S. that he had been so instrumental in creating and promoting. He had to wrestle him for what his appearance meant to others for the Wisconsin wrestling faithful who would have only this one opportunity in a lifetime to watch a team with a distinct local flavor compete against an opponent of the highest international caliber. By not appearing, he said by forfeiting he would be letting all of those people down.

Even more importantly, he had to wrestle him for himself. He had to prove, as soon as possible, that what happened last weekend in Toledo was all just a terrible mistake. He had to prove, immediately, that no other wrestler on earth was that much better than he; that much stronger, that much tougher. His intense pride beat fiercely in his heart, pounding against reason. For on the other hand, the rational one, he should not WTestle at all.

A lot people told him so: his wife, Nancy; the trainer, Gordy Stoddard; the doctor, Alan Ryan; his coach, Duke Eleven; the giant heavyweight, Chris Taylor; and even Yarygin himself. Smiling, speaking through an interpreter, the powerful Russian told Hellickson that he should wait for the arm to heal; for if not, he would be obliged to tear out the other one. Bar none, the only person who thought he should wrestle was Hellickson himself. It was a matter of honor; the curious determination and drive and sense of self that makes a wrestler feel that to face himself and stand tall among his brethren, he has to wrestle hurt, oblivious to the pain and handicap. Yet he knew the advice of the others was sound, and it pulled and strained at his grit.

By resting the shoulder, he could take the chance that it might heal in time for the match in two weeks at Madison Square Garden; but by wrestling now, he could risk permanent damage, something irrepairable that might end his career with the flick of a wrist or carry him disabled to an operating table, to the surgeons knife and a long convalescence. He also knew that he would be facing Yarygin with only one good arm; a cripple matched against a man of tremendous agility and strength. He knew that the disadvantage would be all but insurmountable. He knew these things, but still he pondered his decision. He was still thinking about what he should do when I left the wrestling room.

He was perched there forlornly on the red bench, his arm all but helpless in the sling, sitting directly beneath his picture on the wall above the one with the caption that labeled him the Pan-American Games winner and the bronze medalist at the World Games in Sofia; the best wrestler the University of Wisconsin has ever produced. He was still trying to make up his mind, just scant yards removed from the place where Yarygin worked out, tossing around his 280-pound heavyweight teammate like a sack of imported wheat. No one will blame him tonight if he doesnt WTestle, but no one who knows him will be surprised if he does. Russ Hellickson is like that. He is an athlete.

By KEN RAPPOPORT (Associated Press Sports Writer) The baseball was enshrined in a plastic case, sitting on a little gold stand in front of Chuck Brinkmans locker. The printing on the ball read: First major league home run vs. the California Angels Rudy May. Beautiful, exclaimed the Chicago White Sox catcher about the homemade gift from his teammates. These guys are really great.

It was just a present in return for one he gave them, for Brinkmans two-run shot helped the White Sox defeat the Angels 6-2 Tuesday night. By HERSCHEL NISSENSON (Associated Press Sports Writer) I thought I was a pretty good hitter, Wayne Twitchell of the Philadelphia Phillies said Tuesday night after doing what such renowned sluggers as Willie Stargell, Reggie Jackson, Frank Howard and Pat Seerey didnt. Of course, they didnt really want to. Neither did Twitchell, a towering right-handed pitcher, who stepped to the plate four times and struck out four times, repeating his performance of May 16. That equaled the major league mark for most strikeouts by a batter in two consecutive games held by several players, including Dick Allen and Rick Monday.

Stargell, Jackson Howard and Seerey all stopped at seven whiffs. ual performances in the Class portion of the WIAA regional -track and field meet on the M-G oval Tuesday night. Lacy churned out a lonesome 4:20.4 in the mile and Kaashagen a 1:58.0 in the half mile. And they were just two of the Class stars that swiped the spotlight from a less-than-brilliant Class A field. Madison East, who finished dead last in the Big Eight conference meet last Saturday, won Class A with 68 points.

Waterloo took Class with 49 points. The top three placewinners in each event earned a return to Monona Grove Friday night for sectional action. The top two in each event there will journey to Mansfield Stadium June 1-2 for the WIAA state meet. CLASS A Monona Grove principal Don Helstad had just awarded East their trophy and one of the Pur-golder runners grabbed the hardware and said, Hold it a minute. I want to take a good look at one of these.

Coach Lee A 1 team might not have seen too many trophies this spring but, if Tuesday night was any indication, theyre going to be seeing some in the next few years. They got just four firsts Paul Loopers 20-10 in the long jump, Steve Polleys 52-2 in the shot put, Dennis Winters :15.9 in the 120 highs, and a winning 1:32.8 from their 880 relay quartet but their bundle of underclassmen brought in a bundle of points with places. In all they qualified 11 individuals and the one relay for Fridays sectional. Two meet records were set. Durable Dave Mackesey of Monona Grove set a new M-G regional mark of 9:31.4 in the -m i 1 and Madison La-Follettes Mike Wagner sailed the discus 165-9.

Jim House was the only double winner with :10.5 in the 100 and a :23.4 in the 220. He also qualified for sectional in the long jump. Gary Schell of Monona Grove (Contd. on 3rd Sports Page staged it in front of his locker. Nor did he care.

Ill remember my first home run in the majors a long, long time, he said. In the other American League games, the Cleveland Indians defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-3; the Milwaukee Brewers topped the Boston Red Sox 4-2; the New York Yankees turned back the Detroit Tigers 7-2; the Minnesota Twins outslygged the Kansas City Royals 8-7 and the Oakland As whipped the Texas Rangers 4-1. Brinkmans home run in the second inning actually gave the White Sox their winning run. It followed a solo homer by Ken Henderson, giving Chicago a 3-1 lead. Dick Allen also homered for Chicago and the White Sox scored two other runs on errors.

Stan Bahnsen pitched a three-hitter for Chicago. The righthander yielded two unearned runs before the Angels got their first hit a one-out single by Billy Grabarkewitz in the fifth inning. I think this is the best game Ive pitched this year and that with only two days rest, said Bahnsen, who won his sixth game in nine decisions. Bahnsen, off to one of the best starts in his career, attributes the fast getaway to quickness. I think Im quicker this year than Ive been before, said Bahnsen, Pitching coach Johnny Sain has helped.

Im (Contd. on 3rd Sports Page Kjell Kaashagen The is a great feeling, said Brinkman, talking about only the third home run of his professional career. He hit one in spring training in 1972 and one in the minor leagues several years ago. Brinkman didnt know how his White Sox mates managed to get the baseball he hit into the 1 a s. or how they Now Twitchell can go after the over-all record of 12 strikeouts on consecutive trips to the (Contd.

That scored Thomas and Money took second on the throw to the plate. After John Briggs walked on a 3-2 count. Bob Bolin replaced Curtis and Joe Lahoud, with one hit in his last 24 times times at bat, was sent up for Ollie Brown. Lahoud lined a two-run single to right.

Tim Johnson then squeezed home another run with a sacrifice bunt. Weve been in an awful lot of -r and two-run games, something like 25 of the 37 weve played, Crandall said. The ninth inning has been our most productive. Our fellows seem to feel theyre never out of a game. Right-handed Jim Colborn checked the Red Sox on four harmless singles and appeared en route to his second major league shutout.

However, he was tagged for singles by Luis Aparicio, Carl Yastrzemski and Orlando Cepeda to start the Boston ninth, and gave way to Frank Linzy. The Red Sox pushed acrossed a second run on an infield force, and Carlton Fisk singled to put runners on first and second with one out. However, Doug Griffin grounded into a force at second and Rick Miller was an easy out as Linzy earned his third save while preserving Colborn fourth victory in five dicisions.

All matter and disputes between Wali Jones and the Milwaukee Bucks have been fully and completely resolved by agreement of the parties, and the matter is now closed, Na-tional Basketball Association president Walter Kennedy Said in New York.

The Bucks declined further comment, thus leaving unan-swered many questions surrounding the nine-year veterans suspension and susequent release in the middle of last season. Jones was placed on medical suspension without pay Dec. 13 after the Bucks claimed he had lost weight and stamina. Later it was disclosed he also had Elreath.

The team was ordered to post bond by 4 p.m. Friday and given three days to appeal.
