The Dodgers were rained out at Philadelphia but now must win only one of their two games today to gain their second straight pennant. A San Francisco loss would also turn the trick. Los Angeles will have Don Drysdale (13-16) starting in the first game, and ace left hander Sandy Koufax (26-9) will be prepared to go in the nightcap. Drysdale has pitched two shutouts in a row and has held the opposition scoreless over the past 25 innings.

He'll be opposed by Rick Wise (5-6), who beat the Dodgers 3-2 on six hits Sept. 21 at Los Angeles. Jim Bunning, seeking his 20th victory, will pitch the nightcap. The best the Giants can do is gain a tie, for first. To do that, they must After Pete Mikkelsen walked Tom Haller intentionally, Jim Davenport drove in Brown with a looping single to right.

Bolin then came on in the nightcap and completely stymied the Pirates. He set down the first five batters before Bill Mazeroski singled to right field. The Giants right-hander then retired the next 11 Pirates before walking pitcher Tommie Sisk in the sixth. Sisk, however, was erased on a double play, and the Pirates didn't have another baserunner the rest of the game. win at Pittsburgh today and at Cincinnati Monday in a makeup game while the Dodgers lose twice at Philadelphia.

The Dodgers now are two games ahead of San Francisco. The Pirates fell to third, 2'2 games back. Gaylord Perry (21-8) will pitch or San Francisco today. He'll be opposed by the Pirates' Bob Veale (16-12). The Giants' first-game victory gave the Dodgers the tie, and the second one eliminated the Pirates.

This is the eighth time in the last 21 years the Sisk blanked the Giants on four hits until the eighth. However, Hal Lanier led off with a single and went to second as Sisk threw the ball away on a pickoff attempt. Bolin followed with a double for the first run of the game, went to third on Tito Fuentes' bunt single and scored on Haller's sacrifice fly. After the Giants went ahead in the opener, the Pirates made one last, effort to pull it out. Donn Clendenon led off Continued on Page 12, Col.

Juan Marichal gave up 13 hits in the opener but a two-run rally in the eighth inning brought him his 25th victory against six defeats. The Giants trailed 4-3 going into the eighth but Jim Hart led off with a walk and was sacrificed to second. Brown, whose two-run homer capped a three-run rally in the fourth inning, then doubled home Hart with the tying run.

Louisville tried for two points twice after touchdowns last night and missed them both in losing to North Texas State 20-19 at Fairgrounds Stadium. Had UL successfully kicked for the conversion after each touchdown, it would have won the important Missouri Valley Conference game21-20. The most controversial play came with 11 minutes, 43 seconds left in the final quarter after UL had scored to pull with- xin 14-13 of North Texas. Camp faced this decision: Try to kick the point and tie the i game, hoping for another chance to win -later on a field goal or touchdown.

Try to go ahead by converting on a pass or running play, which is worth two points. He called for a pass which failed. i With only 4:53 left, Camp faced the same situation again. Again he tried for two points and failed. "We wanted to win," said Camp in de- fending his strategy.

Camp's decision was influenced, he in- dicated, by the failure of the UL offense to move the ball consistently throughout the first half. Intercepted Pass Breaks Ice UL's first touchdown came on a 79-yard run by corner linebacker Dan Bedna'rski i with an intercepted pass in the first period. Other than that, the Cardinals I didn't get out of their own territory. "We didn't have the ball enough in the first half because of our own mistakes," Camp said. UL lost the ball twice on fumbles, once on an interception and was penalized six times for 72 yards.

Doug Van Meter would probably measure up as a fairly sizeable gent in your living room, and chances are he could outrun your grandmother. As defensive ends go, however, the University of Kentucky junior is tiny at 200 pounds, and he runs well for limited distances only.

Last night in Kentucky's 17-7 Southeastern Conference victory over Auburn, Van Meter and Dicky Lyons combined on a game-turning play that was at once spectacular and comic. Auburn owned a 7-3 lead late in the second quarter when the Tigers elected to try a field goal from the 32-yard line. Lyons, a sophomore from Louisville St. Xavier High School, dashed past Auburn's left end and blocked the kick. Van Meter, a junior from Owensboro, recovered the ball, and headed for the end zone 68 yards away.

The only trouble was Van Meter's running limit seemed to be 40 yards. By the time he reached the Auburn 30-yard line, he wasn't running fast enough to win a race with a glacier, let alone your grandmother.

This put the ball on the eight. The two-point play came and failed There was a whistle.

Texas had too many men on the field The Cards got another chance this time from the 3-yard line. The crowd stood and rooted uproariously as Russell faded back for one more try at going for broke. Before he could find a receiver in the clear, white-clad foes were swarming all over him. The crowd sank back, almost as exhausted as Russell. And much colder.

High in the press box overhanging spectators who were gathering their blankets for their journey homeward, Larry Boeck, newly appointed director of athletic community relations, was reassuring his former newspaper colleagues: "Just wait till next week!"

They went flat broke. The 20-19 loss to the Eagles might just as easily have been a 15-14 or 21-20 victory for the Cardinals if things had gone a little bit differently on two tries for two points after touchdowns.

The game resolved itself into a passing duel between Louisville's Benny Russell and North Texas' Vidal Carlin. Carlin got all the best of it except that at one time during the height of the milling, the Cardinals had succeeded in catching five of Carlin's flings and only four of Russell's You can imagine what this did to the planned strategies of the coaches. Behind 14-7 Rest Was No Fun The Cardinals blew two chances to score near the end of the first half, when they were dragging by 14-7, and this considerably dampened the spirits of their followers and took the zest out of between-halves hijinks. Then, as the second half progressed, the timing and tenaciousness of the home boys improved. Louisville put a bit of new bounce into the battle by rushing Carlin passes so hard he bounced Coach Camp also mended the holes in Russell's pitching pocket, which were so costly in the first half.

These changes managed to keep things even until Wally Oyler punted dead on the North Texas eight and a penalty pushed the ball to the four. Then Bill McMahon recovered a fumble, and it seemed Louisville was certain to score. On the first play, it all went for naught when Russell passed into the end zone. Johnny Matta jumped up and intercepted the ball to give North Texas a touchback and possession on the 20.

first down and goal to go After two smeared passes, Russell spiraled accurately to Mike Dennis in the end zone. Would they go for two points or settle for a kick and a tie? "They're going for two!" the crowd cried The team spread, hut took too long to get in position.
