Michigan State (7-2-1, 7-2-1) spotted Illinois-Chicago (3-5, 3-5) a 1-0 lead, then scored five straight goals en route to a 5-2 Central Collegiate Hockey Association victory at the Pavilion. Todd Beyer and Kevin Alexander tallied for UIC.
Concerned about the lack of action on the part of major-league baseball to create opportunities for minorities, a group of primarily former black players met in Irving, Tex., to begin a grass-roots movement to force Commissioner Peter Ueberroth to make good his public statements about minority hiring. More than 50 former players, plus current players Don Baylor, Dave Winfield and Bill Madlock, met for nearly 12 hours in the opening day of an organizational session for a group that is calling itself the Baseball Network. Another day of organizing is scheduled for Sunday, with a meeting between Baseball Network`s executive committee and representatives of Ueberroth scheduled for Monday.
