The Kansas City Royals, feeding off the momentum of their victory just 14 hours before, scored four runs in the first inning off Larry Christenson, then held on for a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies Saturday to even the World Series at two games -The Royals' hero was Willie Mays Aikens, who became the first man in history to hit a pair of home runs in a game twice in the same World Series. Aikens, who hit two two-run homers in Related Stories, Photo, Page I the opener, crashed a 450-foot, two-run blast into the water fountains in right field in the first inning, then blasted a slightly shorter monster into the Royals' bullpen in the second inning a solo clout that ended the K.C. scoring.

The K.C. outburst was ignited by George Brett's RBI triple which began the downfall of loser Christenson, who only lasted through six hitters and gave up a single, two doubles, a triple and Aikens' homer. Royal starter Dennis Leonard lasted seven innings, allowing nine hits for his first Series victory. The Phils kayoed Leonard with a Pete Rose double in the eighth, but submariner Dan Quisenberry got the final six outs, allowing'only a sacrifice fly by Mike Schmidt that scored Rose. THE ROYALS TAGGED the Phils for 22 total bases and ran wild on the visitors' outfielders, taking extra bases almost at will on Garry Maddox and Bake McBride.

Only good, long relief work by Dick Noles and Warren Brusstar kept the Phils close in this affair. Of the 30 teams in Series history that fell behind in games, 2-0, only seven have come back to win. The Royals are halfway to that goal. On Sunday at 3:30 p.m. (Channel 13), K.C.'s Larry Gura is Ira -v.

i scheduled to meet Phillie rookie Marty Bystrom, a mere five-game winner. The Royals had waited impatiently for three game to show the Phils and the watching nation who they really are. Despite their victory Friday night, that 4-3 win in 10 innings was not K.C. baseball since it was not based on base-running terror and fierce all-fields extra-base hitting. When the Royals lay a real beating on an opponent, one of those 25-total-base onslaughts that they uncork a score of times a season, it's hard to forget.

FINALLY, IN THE first inning against Christenson, Kansas City exploded in true style. With the first five hitters, K.C. had batted for the cycle: single, double, triple, homer. Christenson faced only six hitters, got one out and allowed five hits good for a dozen total bases. At that point, the Royals led, 44; Christenson's ERA was 108.00 and the Royals' slugging percentage for the game was 12.000 The sequence was electrifying for this packed house in immaculate, waterfall-decorated Royals Stadium.

Willie Wilson, 1 for 13 with seven strikeouts, sliced a single to left to lead off. Christenson then fired a wild pickoff throw past first base where Rose, in his customary deep squat, couldn't get untangled for a routine catch. Wilson sped to third. That brought to mind Christenson's start at Montreal the day the Phils clinched the division. He was terrible, making a wild throw to three of the four available bases in one game.

WILSON'S FELLOW slumpers entering this game were Frank White and U.L. Washington (5 for 38 among them). White left Wilson at third with a short fly out. Then Brett opened the scoring, awakened the crowd and gave this game See SERIES, Page 6 (UPI Photo) WILLIE AIKENS DOFFS HIS CAP TO VOCAL KANSAS CITY CROWD Hit Two Home Runs In Saturday's World Series Game Purdue Routs Illini In Pass-Happy Show 'Fall9 Cleaning Kansas City's star of stars, George Brett, boils out at homer plate after being "flipped" on a duster pitch from the Phillies' Dickie Noles Saturday in the fourth game of the World Series.

Aided by an ever-improving rushing attack that netted 245 yards, Herrmann guided the Boilers to a 17-0 lead on their first three possessions and they were up by 24 before Illinois rebounded with Wilson unloading a pair of third-period strikes.

Purdue's Mark Herrmann set a Big Ten passing record Saturday then watched from the sidelines as Dave Wilson of Illinois erased it moments later to no avail as the Boilermakers scored their third straight league victory in a flaming 45-20 aerial duel before 62,121 Memorial Stadium fans. Completing 24 of 35 attempts for four touchdowns, the Carmel (Ind.) senior accounted for 371 yards, two more than the record 369 by Eddie Smith of Michigan State against Indiana two years ago. But having achieved the No. 1 spot on a 20-yard TD strike to split end Bart BurreD, which made it 38-14 with 8 24 on the clock, Herrmann sat out the rest of the fray and Wilson, you might say, passed him. Firing down to the last bitter tick, the 215-pound junior college transfer reached the grand total of 425 yards with 35 bulls-eyes in 58 tries, those two figures also representing conference marks.

By JOHN BANSCH Assistant Sports Editor Columbus, Ohio Cal Murray celebrated his 22nd birthday in a grand manner Saturday, rushing for 224 yards to power ninth-ranked Ohio State to a crucial 27-17 Big Ten football triumph over Indiana.

The Buckeyes needed every one of the fleet-footed tailback's yards to outlast the Hoosiers in what was their finest effort here in the historic, ancient stadium on the banks of the Olentangy River in many a season. Even though the Crimson fell to 1-2 in the conference race and 4-2 for the season it was in the battle until the finish 'and had OSU in dire straits for much of the 61-degree, overcast afternoon. The Buckeyes, now 3-0 against Big Ten competition and 5-1 overall, found in a 10-10 draw early in the second period and they were fighting to maintain possession of the football in the final quarter to achieve victory before a sellout throng of 87.957. i THE LEGS OF Murray and a change in defensive philosophy in the last half was the difference as Indiana saw its record against the Bucks dip to 0-24-1 since winning here in 1951. Murray's 224 yards, earned with light- tv following a controversial pass interference call against I.U.

defensive back Dart Ramsey in the first quarter and a 37-yard sprint down the sidelines in the fourth period to give OSU its final touchdown. The-defensive change saw the Bucks go to a five-man front in the last two quarters and place man-to-man coverage on potential Indiana receivers. The maneuver put heavy pressure on Hoosier quarterback Tim Clifford, who did not have one of his best days. Clifford missed on 13 straight passes and completed just 1 of 11 for 12 yards in the final half. STILL, THE BUCKEYES were in trouble thanks to the running of Indiana tailback Mike Harkrader plus the defensive performance of linebackers Marlin Evans and Craig Walls.

Harkrader, the diminutive fifth-year player, rushed for 117 yards in 18 carries and carried the brunt of the Crimson attack on his shoulders in the third and fourth quarters. Those 117 yards give him' 3,034 for his career, seventh on the all-time Big Ten list. The only men who have gained more yards on the ground are Griffin Wisconsin's Billy Marek Michigan's Rob Lytle Purdue's Otis Armstrong Wisconsin's Alan Ameche (3,212) and Michigan's Billy Taylor Harkrader's finest thrust was a weaving 36-yard jaunt to the OSU 15 in the I TPfsSS. as -Jtrf I 4 In ning-Iike strikes up the middle and bolts of speed around the wings, produced the fourth highest yardage ever gained by an Ohio State back in one game.

It led to Indiana tinai touchdown, a 2-yard sweep by Lonnie Johnson which reduced the score to the final count with 6:56 remaining.

From that point on the Bucks controlled the ball to preserve the victory. THE DAY WAS NOT without sorrow, however, for Harkrader. His father Jerry, a starting back on Ohio State's 1953 national championship team, suffered a seizure in the Indiana dressing room after watching the game from the press box. The 'elder Harkrader, who coached Mike in high school and has another son, Rob, on the I.U. team, is suffering from brain cancer.

Evans and Walls became much more aggressive after the intermission to slow down the OSU attack. Evans led all tacklers with 24 stops and Walls had 22 more. Their production, however, was not enough to offset the Ohio defense, which held Indiana to zero yards passing and just 9 rushing in the third quarter. Despite the defeat, Indiana Coach Lee Corso was not moaning. I'm disappointed but not discouraged," he said.

"In fact, I'm excited about the rest of the season." The first half was filled with offense before the two defenses began to exert their authority.

SPORTS INDEX By BOB COLLINS, Star Sports Editor South Bend, Ind. Army underwent an intensive session1 in the Notre Dame War College Saturday and absorbed a 30-3 lesson. It is doubtful, however, if the Cadets learned much since Notre Dame seemed to have its mind on something else most of the time. The Irish were penalized more yards than Army gained on the ground or in the air. The Irish were caught nine times for 117 yards.

Six of the infractions were for holding. But this may have been more politeness than unlawful intent. There were moments when the Irish were slicing through Army defenders so easily they may have been reaching out and touching to see if they were real. Jim Stone filled in again for injured Phil Carter and gained 121 yards in 25 carries. And he was only in slightly more danger than Carter, who watched the start of the football game from the press box.

Stone carried 224 yards against Miami last week. FRESHMAN BLAIR KIEL, from Columbus. Ind started his second straight game at quarterback for Notre Dame. His stats were not impressive 7 completions in 19 attempts for 74 yards but it's probably no big deal when the final score is 30-3.
