But Most of First Year Men to Play in UTEP Opener One Freshman to Start Mil Spokane Club Relocation in PCL Mean EP? 7 tm By BOB INGRAM Gil Bartosh is likely to start only one freshman against the University of Pacific Saturday night in the Sun Bowl when the Miners of UTEP open their 1974 football season To avoid any confusion over the part first-year players will play in the game let it be said that quite a number of them will participate against the Tigers however Bartosh in fact may get all of them or at least the biggest part of them in the game THE ONE FRESHMAN starter will be at the vital post of tailback The job will go to either RobcrLElliott of El Paso Bel 'Air or Mike Belew of Odessa Bartosh said he may not know until just before the kickoff who'll start They are that equal in talent The player who may appear to have the better poise will get the starting job But they'll both play The new Miner coach knows what impact a first varsity game has on any player He's trying to keep each one from being extra nervous The rest of the jobs will be manned by players who have had varsity experience That includes Bobby McKinley at quarterback McKinley is a transfer from SMU He played halfback there BE A first-time varsity quarterback starter so that might produce a few extra butterflies Don Willis will be at fullback Bill Avery at flanker Mike Walker will start at split end and Brad Longnecker in other skilled offensive spots for the Miners Don Amerson is the No 1 backup to McKinley Bob Garvey another freshman is ready to spell Willis Tanny Johnson coming up fast will be behind Avery And just back of Walker at split end is freshman Collins SPOKANE Wash (UPI) The Spokane Indians champions of the Pacific Coast League will need a rent reduction and more paying fans if the triple A baseball club is to remain here next year owner Bill Cutler said The Indians home attendance dropped 46000 in 1974 and Expo 74 might have taken many of the fans away he said Cutler said he will give the Spokane County Board of Commissioners two weeks to rework the rental agreement for the Fairgrounds ballpark OTHERWISE he said he would act on at least two feelers to relocate the Texas Rangers' affiliate probably toward the south and a warmer climate costs me $30000 for the Cutler complained roughly a dollar a head for the 79000 who attended you can see what kind of a financial crunch this puts me Fresh WtLUlRD HDRRCLL LOP SRXIOR TllLDarK Tee Good For Australians KING OF TENNIS Jimmy Connors holds the trophy after beating Ken Rosewall in the finals of the

before a bewildered Rosewall won a game Casting an occasional grin at Chris where she was seated in a marquee box with her mother-in-law-t-be Jimmy wiped Ken out 6-1 in the first set and at love in the second allowing Rosewall less leeway than he had in his 6-1 6-1 6-4 victory over Ken in the Wimbledon final Not since the US championships began back in 1881 had a finalist been destroyed so badly But it was no discredit to Rosewall who won here in 1954 and again 16 years later in 1970 AS FOR Old she proved once again that is what counts Don't ask me how I won" Billie said after her brilliant battle with Miss Goolagong was in a daze in that final set forehand was excellent her backhand phenomenal She kept me off balance all the But the include Evonne's one fatal lapse The lovely Aussie's trainer-manager Vic Edwards summed it up saw it I saw it TurnitlCI Toward Everyone saw Vic said umi3 wtiMi resting agaLnst a fcnce nd waiting for his beaten protege to join him Evonne had been right with Billie all the way but in the second set in the fourth game Evonne tried to change the break-neck pace on her own service and Ms King broke her at love then went on to square the match When the Old Lady is even with you no way going to let you get away When it came down to the wire Billie had it She had been serving for the ate when Evonne in a glorious game which featured a long rally of baseline lobs net cutoffs pulled even at 5-all The Old Lady wasn't to be denied She broke back giving Evonne only one point although lucky in getting to 15-40 when in self-defense she got her racquet in the way and the ball dropped dead across the net Match of 'Reprieves' WHILE A SUPER stuntman named Knievel might have been proving that the a man does lives after Lee Trevino was engaging in a head-to-head match with Gary Player in the World Series of Golf at Firestone Country Club in Akron Our man Trevino had engaged in some exciting duels with Jack Nicklaus But none of them was as exciting or as cliff-hanging as the battle of the fairways rough and greens he was having with the South African golfer On Sunday! they went the regulation 18 holes and then played five extra holes to a tie before darkness set in Perhaps there has never been such scrambling on each side to save pars holes and the match Just when it looked like one of them was sure to win the other would make a tremendous recovery out of the rough or a bunker or sink a long putt to halve the hole It was the same way yesterday in the first hole of the marathon match continuation On the sixth extra hole Trevino had to ram down a 35-foot putt to tie Player who sank 10 feet away for a birdie It ended on the next hole the seventh extra hole when Trevino parred while putt for a halve slid by the cup Case of 'No Nerves' THE FIRST PRIZE in the World Series was $50000 Second prize was $15000 The two veteran golfers were really playing for $35000 That kind of money can give the shakes to the steadiest of golfers But Trevino and Player battle tested over many years of tournament play went about sinking those long putts and making those astounding recoveries about as calmly as hitting practice shots The first word to reach El Paso of victory came from Neil Harvey caddy While Trevino went to the press tent at Akron to talk to newsmen Harvey high-tailed it to the nearest telephone and called his wife in El Paso He got the message to her before the news wires reported the victory here The -UPI and AP should hire him to report events of great magnitude like fires floods etc Lot More to Come THE SO GRAND that Trevino made in the World Series brought his winnings for the year to over $200000 although the purse at Akron doesn't count in PGA tournament prize money It did bring his total money in World Series competition to $71250 In three previous attempts in the WS he had won smaller amounts There should be quite a lot more coming for Trevino who got off to a late start this year His next big meet is the World Open at Pinehurst NC starting this week This is the tournament that had a $500000 prize label a year ago It had a two-week format then Trevino saying he spend that much time at any place not even at home passed it up along with Jack Nicklaus and Other big stars This year shorter and the prize faioney has been cut to $350000 That's still a pretty sizeable amount Trevino may win a part of that and then he has tournaments in Japan Australia and Mexico City this fall The El Paso earnings may not have reached the six million mark the amount Evel Knievel is supposed to have made in his aborted Snake River jump But while Trevino is no longer a hustler on the golf course Evel continues to put in the on such jobs as the Snake River jump It is a coincidence that he and Trevino both survived Evel drown in the Snake River and Trevino in golf and contrary to Shakespeare the good Lee does on the golf course will not be interred with his bones Evel should reform too

only crowd of 34981 second largest of the year at Fenway Park turned out in anticipation of a classic contest reminiscent of bygone days but it took only one batter before the pressure got to the young Red Sox and led to their downfall ROY WHITE hit a routine grounder to shortstop Mario Guerrero and was safe when he booted the ball White then stole second and continued to thirt when catcher Bob Mont-' throw went into centerfield as no one covered second Moments later White scored the first run of the game on Elliott single That run put the Yankees ahead for good but there was another play in the fourth inning which might have changed the course of the game had the Red Sox been able to pull it off successfully The Yankees were leading 2-1 when Craig Nettles led off the fourth with a double Chris Chambliss who had homered in the second followed with a single but rightfielder Dwight throw to the plate appeared to have Nettles beaten In the collision at home however Montgomery dropped the ball and Nettles was safe No error was given on the play but those are the kind of plays a team must make if it is to win a championship THE YANKEES built their lead to 6-1 after six innings and George Medich took that lead into the eighth before being roughed for a pair of runs and giving way to Sparky Lyle Lyle got the last four outs to preserve 18th win give you said manager

By JOE FROHLINGER Lou Brock may be a terror on the basepaths but the heart of the St Louis lineup was what struck fear in the heart of Jim Lonborg Brock failed in his bid to gain headway on Maury Wills' major league record for stolen bases last night as Lonborg hurled a two-hitter and Mike Anderson and rookie Jerry Martin knocked in runs to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-0 triumph over

second baseman Dave Cash who applied the tag tagged him high but Dick (umpire Dick Stello) knew I had him and Brock knew he was out LONBORG according to worked tried to read everything he's been
