Quarterback Roger Bertoia flipped a 10-yard pass to end Steve Junker Inches across the jfoal for the winning; points just as it appeared the invading- Pumas from Indiana were to perpetaate an upset. A Xavier Stadium crowd of 9000 smallest to sit in on a Musketeer football opener in 10 years watched disbeliev-ingly as the Pumas from a school of 600 students ran over and around their Mtavy-favored rivals through the scoreless first half. Twice, in the first period the Pumas drove inside the Xavier 10-yard line, only to meet scoring frustration. ST. JOE LEADS It wasn't until the third quarter kickoff that St.

Joe posted the scoreboards first points. It required a freak play on the part of Xavier fullback Bob Konkoly to hand the Pumas a safety. And from this stroke of sudden fortune, the visitors quickly churned for a touchdown that gave them an 8-0 lead as the fourth period opened. Bertoia scored the Musketeers' first touchdown on a one-yard plunge two plays after the fina' period got underway. Ironically, Bertoia pitched his winning pass to Junker on the game's next-to-last play.

The dying-gasp victory was the Muskies' first in a season's opener since 1931 and perpetuated a winning streak that now is pegged at seven games. It likewise was the opener for St. Joe. BERTOIA CONNECTS The deciding pass by Bertoia, a diminutive quarterback of five feet nine inches, wai only the second aerial comple Spitballs, Towel Waving Questioned By Pilot 'Protest Hinted Special To The Enquirer BROOKLVN, Sept, 16 "I don't think they've got another pitcher who can hold us," Birdie Tebbetts said convincingly today after the 3-2, too-little, too-late loss to the Dodgers. The defeat dropped the Reds three games behind in the pennant chase and put them on the brink of extinction pending the outcome of Monday night's game.

"In fact," the manager added, "I didn't think Maglie could hold us. But I never saw him better. His control, especially." The Dodgers intend to us relief specialist Clem Labine as a starter in Monday's game but since Labine warmed up, Tebbetts believed that it might be Don Drysdale. "If it is, I'll put (Bob) Thur-man in left field and bat him fifth, instead of Wally Post. Thurmtn hit Drysdale real good the last tlrae he faced him." Asked if another loss Monday would kill the Reds pennant hopes, Tebbetts answered: "Of course not, you're never dead until you're out mathematically.

And not until. Don't forget that." WALK KILLER With the tying run on second in the ninth, Tebbetts selected Stan Palays to pinch-hit for Buster Freeman. "I was thinking of Using Art Schult but it wouldn't be fair to the kid. He just got here." With Roy McMillan out of the game, Tebbetts said his ad lib infield. In the event the Reds tied or went ahead, would' ve been Johnny Temple at short, Ray Jablonskl at second and Bruce Edwards at third.

What annoyed Tebbetts was Johnny Klippstein's walk with the bases loaded in the fifth, forcing in what proved to be the Dodgers' winning run. "That kills you. It always does, never fails." Twice, Tebbetts halted the game to question Maglie's habit of wetting his fingers and to stop the semaphore signals in the Dodger bullpen. SIGNALS HERMAN' "It's just like with Bur-dette," the manager said. "They let him break the rules by allowing him to go to his mouth and wet his fingers.

They allow five or guys in this league to do it as long as they rub it off. "They ought to either enforce the rule or allow them to throw spitballs."

MANAGER BOBBY Bragan said after Saturday's game at Pittsburgh that he hoped the Dodgers would be in first place when they play the Pirates again.

Jeffcoat will be seeking his seventh victory. Manager Smoky Alston was a. bit evasive as to his starter. He indicated that his first choice would be Clem Labine, his ace relief pitcher. But he may decide to gamble with rookie Don Drysdale, the 6-5 right-hander: It would be no surprise if Alston elects to go with Carl Erskine, an old pro, who usually pitches his best ball in the clutch.

OL SAL (The Barber) Mag-lie, 'who had the Reds whiilr-vvashed until two were out in the ninth, was credited with the victory. It was his 11th, sixth in a row and ninth in his last 10 outings. It also was his third over the Reds against two defeats. The 39-year-old right-hander has succeeded in going the distance against them only once, however. In his last 1 starts, he has allowed only 19 earned runs in 86 Innings.

The old gaffer certainly has done a great job of keeping the Dodgers in the pennant chase after being picked up from the Cleveland Indians earlier in the season for the waiver price. A STEADY downpour that didn't stop until an hour before game time prevented both clubs from any pre-game batting practice. Despite the rain, which started early last night, the playing field was in good condition. This was especially true of the infield, which was covered. SMOKY BURGESS two-run homer in the ninth kept the Reds from suffering their sixth whitewashing and third on the current trip.

It was his 11th and 205th by a Redleg in 143 games. The 1947 record-making had 208 after the same number of games. DIKE SXIDER'S second inning double that K.O.'d Nus-hall, was one one of the hardest hit balls of the day.

Joeph's, expertly quarter-backed by Ralph Tite, slashed 57 yards for its touchdown. Tite bucked over from the one. In Its defeat, a heartbreaking reversal it never will forget, St. Joe did put a dent In a couple of defensive notations the Muskies carried over from last autumn. The Pumas' third period points were the first allowed by a Xavier team In IS quarters and the Indianians also were the first to score in the second half since Miami I'niverslly did it seven games ago.

Pt'MAS THREATEN After the Pumas took the game's kickoff and drove to the Xavier 19, Connolly waved in his sophomores. They surrendered more yardage and St. Joe had moved to a first down on the five. Here, the Muskies forestalled the advance. But this misadventure did not deter the Hoosiers, for they took a kick and once more pounded on the Xavier goal.

This drive went to the eight before a run bj halfback Bob Hamman missed a first down by Inches. The Pumas couldn't gain substantially, nor could the Muskies, and the two teams left the field at halftime scoreless. ST. JOE'S LEADS It remained for Xavier to turn a 0-0 game into a 2-0 St. Joseph's advantage 14 seconds after the second half started.

St. Joe's kicked off short, but the ball eluded the deep Xavier receivers and bounded into the end zone. Konkoly, In hot pursuit, recovered the ball and elected to run it out, rather than down it for a tourhback. As he neared the goal, the ball popped from his grasp and back Into the end sone. Konkoly wheeled suddenly and dropped on the bail, but St.

Joe was awarded a safety. Tite, cleverly handling his Puma offense, engineered a touchdown late in the third period after another drive died on the Xavfer 16. This touchdown march started on a 33-yard pass from Tite to end George Sherwood and ended with Hie quarterback smashing over from the one. XU COMES BACK Late in the quarter, they rambled from their 37 to the Pumas three, principally on the strong running of Konkoly. Two plays into the fourth period, Bertoia crunched over from the one.

Konkoly added the point from placement and, after a penalty, fumble and a poor kick mired the Pumas deep Into trouble, Xavier was knocking again, this time from 23 yards out. Powerful running carried to the four, before the Muskies surrendered temporarily on the 10 Time now favored the Pumas and their 8-7 lead looked mighty indeed. Late in the quarter, a Puma kick was downed on the Xavier 14. It was a question now whe'her the Muskies could negotiate 86 yards. I 7 "8(12 ST.

It would tighten up my muscles." was suggested that he seemed to be sound, with no aches or pains. "I still have that pain in my thigh I got last spring," he said.

"It's bothered me some all season. And this finger is still a little sore." He held up the forefinger on his left, or throwing, hand. "I dislocated it a couple of weeks ago playing Brooklyn," he explained. "I slid into home plate and when I got up the finger was like this." He indicated a right angle at one of the joints. "I told Doc Anderson to come over and look at it.

He took ahold of It and yanked, and got It bark in place. I continued to play and nobody else, except maybe the Brooklyn catcher, Roy Campanula, knew anything' about It. Luckily I didn't hare to do any throwing the rest of the game. I played a double-header against the, Phillies the next day." Kluszewski used to play end on the Indiana football team, but he thinks you have to be in better condition to play baseball than football. "Put it this way," he said.

"Football is tougher for one game, but over the season you have to be in better shape for baseball. "You can play football with injuries which would prevent you from playing baseball. Broken bones, char-ley horses, pulled muscles, you can tape them up and go out and play football. The movement is mostly forward in football In baseball you move in all directions. "Those casts they use to protect injuries in football, they're really something.

Just like weapons. The toughest game I ever played in my Jife was against a fellow who wore a cast. "It was in high school, and his left arm was paralyzed, and he wore a cast ail the way to his shoulder. He'd swing it like a club. He couldn't feel anything, but you did when he hit you.

He played tackle and I was his target." Big Klu flexed his arms and stretched. The cantaloupes which appeared where his biceps should be looked suspiciously like muscle, but that couldn't be.

16 (UP) Tony De Marco of Boston and Kid Gavilan of Camaguay, Cuba, two former world welterweight champions, will meet in a 10-round fight at Boston Garden, October 13, promoter Sam Silverman announced today. The match will be Gavilan's first fight in the United States in 20 months. The Cuban lost his title to Johnny Saxton in a weird decision in Philadelphia, October 20, 1954. Gavilan never did get a chance to regain it and vows that he is "definitely in the scramble to recapture the crown." Gavilan has been confining his fights to South America and Europe because of managerial troubles following the Philadelphia fight. But he has acquired a new manager, Senor Yamil Shade, a millionaire banker, and reportedly signed quickly when offered De Marco as en opponent There is little doubt, Silverman said, that the winner of the match will meet the survivor of the Johnny Saxton-Carmen Basilio fight.
