THE RUSSIANS made a valiant effort to get back in the w-cond half but the Americans, ith superior rebounding from 7-4 Tom Burleson and 6 9 Barnes, controlled the boards and kept the Soviets from getting any closer than 10 points.

Tingley, the 6-foot-7 American record-holder for the 1,650 meter freestyle, used his height to good advantage In the men's freestyle. Concentrating on Ion smooth strokes, Tingley, a 21-year-old Louisville (Ky.) na tive, was too much for Holland's Anton Van Kloostcr as he won by half a pool.

Gonzalez, who has beaten players half his agi through out the $30,000 tournament, had to struggle for his victory against the 23-year-old Gerken of East Norwalk, Conn. The ageless veteran, who plays out of Las.

Amritraj, 19, advanced Thursday when he defeated third-seeded Dick Stockton of Garden City, N.Y., 6-7, 6-4, 64.

All of last year's top 10 rushers are back, all of last year's quarterbacks plus sophomore Mark LlzmR are back and seven of the top eight pas receivers are back, led by All-America candidate Paul Seal at tight enJ. "The competition is there fur wboivrr survives," grinn'-d Chapman.

"Our game is going to be more wide in than ever before." he added. "It's di finitely jroing to be more inter esting. With a lot of passing and options, wv'n geared for more breakaways." Before anybody got the idea he was going completely razzle-dazzle though, Schembechler put things back into perspective. "We'll do these things if we can do 'em without making mistakes." Bo declared. "But we re not going to do it if it means giving up the ball in bad field position because of mistakes." The Wolverines' big problem on offense will be replacing lost linemen tackle Paul Seymour, guard Tom Coyle and center Bill Hart.

Only tackle Jim Coude and guard Mike Hoban returned as starters, but letterman Curtis Tucker, Dave Mctz and Gary Hainrl-har, along with center Dennis Franks, are expected to adequately plug the holes. THE WOLVERINES' defensive backfield is nearly as rich in talent as the offensive back-field. Regulars Dave Brown (safety), Roy Burks (half- a k) and Barry Dotzauer (Halfback) arc returning and will be Joined by three players who sat out last season with injuries halfbacks Tom Drake and Dave Elliott, along with wolf Geoff Stecer. Also jumping into the battle will be wolf candidate Don Dufek, whose father stared on the 1951 U-M Rose Bowl team. The defensive line has two returning starters tackle Dave Gallagher and end Don Coleman and Craig Mutch is the only linebacker who started all last season.

But there are candidates ga lore at both spots and, some how, the defense always seems to take care of itself at U-M. gained the dubious distinction of meeting defending champion Ja Nicklaus In the first round of match play. In addition lo Nicklaus, the other exempt players are U.S. Open Champion Johnny Miller. British Open titleholder Tom Weiskopf, Masters king Tommy Aaron.

Snead fa-hioned a second consecutive 6 riday, took the second-round lead in the SIO0.0O0 I AM Open and immediately dropped out of the tournament. Under the unique format for this, pro golfs only double-header, Snead and the other seven leaders through 36 holes of the LAM now move Into the richer U.S. Professional Match Play Championship. That tournament begins a two-day run Saturday, with two rounds both Saturday and SNEAD'S 131 total, six-un-d -p a on the MacGregor Downs Country Club course, was by two strokes the best through two rounds. Also moving Into the Match Play-to oppose eight exempt players-were John Schroeder, Buddy Allin, DeWitt Weaver, Allen Miller, Dan Sikes, rookie Artie McNicklc and longshot Joe Porter.

But Aurcho Rodriguei looked at a third str.ke and Bnnkman lined to third for an i.nmr.g-end;ng double play. And It looked like the Tigers had missed their chance whea the White Sox leaned on Lo-lich for four runs In the fifth. Brian Down.ng singled Buddy Dent singled and Herrmann brought them both home with a base hit to right. That was aided considerably by Dick Sharon's wild throw.

JETLR DOUBLED Herr-mann across the plate, then scored himself on a wild pitch with two outs. Taylor knocked In Stanley with a run off Wood In the sixth and three straight singles by Stanley, Taylor and AJ Kaline, made the score S-3 and finished the major league's only 20-game winner In the fight. But with one out to go in the game it looked like Wood was going to be successful for the first time in seven tries. Then Norm Cash stepped to the plutc. CASH WAS surprised at the way Acosta pitched him.

"He threw the others nothing but breaking balls, but gave me three straight fast-balls. I couldn't believe It," said the veteran first baseman. "I was just trying to punch the ball somewhere, but when he came Inside with the last I pulled It with all I had.

But we've been hitting the ball good on this trip. It just that we've naa me piicnmg irom our starters." TAGGING THE TIGERS: The Tigers almost had to operate minus their manager again I riday night Billy Martin, who had to miss two games in California because of bronchitis, didn't arrive a Cominskey Park until less than a hour before the start of Friday's game against the White Sox or about 90 minutes after the players got there. Martin didn't accompany the Tigers on their charter flight from Oakland to attend to some personal business instead. Dick Allen showed up at the Park Friday morning, but was home long before the I'hlsox took the field against the Tigers Allen Is noticeably limping from the leg he busted earlier In the season and probably Is done for the year.

I or the pat couple seasons, there's been little doubt about it.

It hasn't been a good word at U-M. With Dmnis. Franklin having proved he could launch the football with minimum risk, however, the forward pass may be back for its biggest role in the Michigan offense in at least two sessons AND THAT'S not all. Schembechler, beginning his season at l'-M, is talking about things like quarterback options and triple options things that could add up to the spiciest act the ol' stadium has seen in some time. At leavt that's the way the U-M boss was talking Friday, when he paraded his 119 athletes including 37 lettermen out for photos and interviews, one day ahead of the start or full practice, and three weeks away from his season opener The big reason, of course, is Franklin the junior quarter back with a full season's expe- rience under his belt.

"I'm very.very high on him," praised Schembechler. "He has all the attributes a quarterback needs. He had a great sophomore season and I think he'll be even better this year. 1 "We're placing a lot of responsibility on quarterback," he added. "We're going to run more options and we'll pass more than last year." TO PASS MORE than last year or the year before wouldn't take a whole lot.

In 1971, U-M passed on less than 13 percent of its offensive plays (125 passes in 967 plays) and last season, while running up a 10-1 record, it was less than 17 percent (135 throws in 803 offensive plays). "We'll plan on using a balanced attack this year," said Bo. "By that I mean two-thirds running plays and one-third passing.
