game of the World Series tomorrow night at Oakland His opponent is 25-game winner Jim Hunter "Maybe I'm not as fast" he said Sunday after the Dodgers evened the series at 1-1 ith a 3-2 victory here I know I'm a better piLchcr than I was then I've learned a lot in the last 10 Downing 33 was 5-6 with a 367 ERA during the regular season He did not make a start in the Dodgers' 3-1 National League playoffs' victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates He appeared in just 21 games this season and made only 16 starts "WHAT I'VE DONE up to now won't mean a thing" said Downing when asked about his mediocre year never questioned my ability to start" Walter Alston is calling on experience over youth Alston also has lefthanders Doug Rau (25) and Geoff Zahn (27) available Rau a 13-game winner was the victim in a 7-0 shellacking last Tuesday experience (14 years in the Big leagues) will help but it has been 10 years since I pitched in the World Downing stated "I expect I'll be a bit nervous Tuesday night IS A terrific pitcher If on my game it figures to be low scoring Oakland is the type of team which capitalizes on their opponents' mistakes Downing is a former A himself the Yankees traded him to Oakland after the 1969 season and he later was shipped to Milwaukee in a trade in 1970 The Dodgers then acquired him for Andy Kosco and he promptly won 20 games for them in '71 It was a wet sloppy field for both teams but the Miner coarh said he believed the Aggies with their heavier backs had the advantage in such conditions The Miner speed backs had more trouble keeping their feet Bill Bowerman 203-pound Aggie quarterback was the leading rusher of the night with 72 net yards Don Willis led the Miner earners with 65 yards He did more ball carrying than in any game this season First For Dean DEAN freshman tight end from Houston scored the first college football touchdown of his earcer when he caught a 10-yard pass from McKinley in the third period The Miners on the scoring play

season in the Wyoming game was reinjured and will be out of action for the rest of the year Another Aggie-Miner game has gone by The name calling at Las Cruces Saturday night and the dig at the WAC by at least one Aggie player could add some fuel to a hot meeting in 1975 By PETE CICCARELLI Herald-Post Sport writer LOS ANGELES Don Sutton went to high school Mike Marshall went to college and out" for Herb Washington That's about the size of it after Game Two of the 1974 World Series here yesterday a situation for the Los Angeles Dodgers that sends the annual Fall Classic into prime time exposure tomorrow (6 pm MDT) from Oakland with the series deadlocked at one game apiece just got himself set up and picked off" Professor Emeritus Maury Wills BS (Base Stealing) advised after the Dodgers' 3-2 win over Oakland yesterday The score was identical to the A's trimming of the Bums on Saturday Wills hired by Oakland owner Charles Finley to teach the crackling-fast Washington how to put his talent to baseball usage earlier this spring sat quietly in the stands during yesterday's ninth inning activity that saw-phlegmatic Dodger relief ace Mike Marshall take Washington and the out of a last-ditch effort to nullify eight innings of superb Don Sutton hurling HERB HAD eventually scored the tying run I don't know whether Mr (Walter) O'Malley would ever have spoken to me a relieved Wills intoned I would have liked to seen Herb do well but not at the expense of the Dodgers What's the old saying? Once a Dodger Wills gave his capsule view of the situation that occurred in the final inning: the moment Herb entered the game Mike went to work on him He kept Herb close to the bag without ever showing him his move When a pitcher steps off the rubber it breaks a runner's rhythm When Mike threw the strike to (Angel) Mangual he wasted no time in going to the plate So now Herb decides going on the next pitch Marshall who I've said before has the best move to first of any the shower room where he spent nearly 20 minutes using a hairdrier Centerfielder Bill North talking about the pickoff said WAS THE perfect set-up He (Marshall) lulled him and then just popped it over Elaborating North said never really showed Herb his move He stepped off the rubber without throwing over to first base then threw' the ball home for a strike on (Angel) Mangual Then when he got the ball back he stepped off the rubber again like North with only a towel draped around his middle demonstrated "Then finally he threw over there and that was it" North went on was something to behold something to really see" Eventually Washington came out of the shower room and walked over to his locker still using the drier move you ever somebody asked him a he answered was as good a move as I've ever seen I had the green light I had made up my mind I was going on that pitch but you saw what Oakland (2) Los Angeles 13) By JIM COUR I Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (UPI) In his first World Series start in 1963 A1 Downing fared the Los Angeles Dodgers and Johnny Podres In the '64 series Downing Dodger Hero 1 Just Want To Swing Bat Says Ferguson LOS ANGELES (UPI) Joe Ferguson claims he doesn't care if he catches or plays the outfield All he wants to do is swing his big brow bat Thanks to that bat the Los Angeles Dodgers are even up with the Oakland A's in the World at 1-1-loday with the Series sw itching to Oakland Tuesday night "This was an important win for said Ferguson it means we're not in a must win situation on tomorrow Ferguson who lost his Dodger catching job to Steve Yeager this season knocked a Vida Blue fastball over the centerfield fence with one out in the sixth inning to give Don Sutton a 3-0 lead LONG as I get to swing the bat four said the moustachioed Dodger right-fielder happy Ferguson wasn't the only Dodger star in Los Angelos' 3-2 victory though: Sutton wen his 12th game in a row with five-hit pitching through eight plus innings He now has won 16 of his last 17 decisions since July 25 and is 3-0 ir postseason starts against the Pittsburgh Pirates and A's Garvey backhanded a Bill Russell bouncer in the dirt to complete an inningending bases-loaded double play in the eighth Mike Marshall the screwball specialist noted for his durability picked former indoor sprint king Herb Washington off first base when he represented the tying run with one out in the ninth NEEDED this one" said a perspiring Sutton is the greatest ball club I ever played on but it's tough to go into anybody's park down two-zip and expect to win especially the Oakland In the first two games of the Series Dodger pitching has checked the A's on a dozen hits Perhaps unnoticed was the first run Ron Cey who aboard on a went to third on Bill Russell's fly ball that dropped in front of Jackson in rightfield THE BALL appeared likely to be caught Cey scored on Steve Yeager's single that Bert Campaneris barely missed getting to had looked at Tommy LaSorda (the Dodger third base coach) and he told me to keep said Cey was a steal play If the ball had been caught I would have been a dead

fly ball throw didn't win the Sunday's hero told reporters home run turned out to win the game I didn't feel very good yesterday even though I made that FERGUSON said he hit a Blue high fastball was a little bit basically a fastball pitcher" he offered "Today he had a good fastball but he have a good curveball knew the ball was going out as soon as I hit it I've hit three or four others to center like the one today but I'm basically not a straightaway or rightfield Dodger manager Walter Alston removed Sutton with A's at second and third and none out in the ninth after Jackson's check-swing double to left Enter Marshall counting the National League playoffs and World maile his 110th appearance of 1974 Marshall gave up a single to Joe Rudi to make the score 3-2 After Gene Tenace struck out manager Alvin Dark put in Washington to run for Rudi HE THEN picked off Washington and struck out Angel Manguel to end the game 1 is not a bona fide base runner" remarked Dave Lopes the Dodgers' base- Bradley Comments on Miner Game- NMSU Expects Germany To Play at North Texas By MILTON RICHM AN LOS ANGELES (UPI) The two cast-iron doors leading to the Oakland clubhouse were kept closed for five minutes or so following 3-2 loss and a husky security officer stood in front of them seeing that nobody entered Suddenly here was Charlie Finley moving briskly and the doors opened as if by magic The Oakland owner stalked through the doors and headed directly for the A's clubhouse oh" laughed one wag goes Herb!" THE REFERENCE was to Herb Washington the A's designated runner who had been put into the game to run for Joe Rudi with one out in the ninth inning and had been promptly picked off first base by Mike Marshall the Los Angeles Dodgers' reliever Ironically it was after the second game of the World Series a year ago that Finley also made a hurried visit to the A's quarters Mike Andrews his backup second baseman had committed a pair of costly errors and before everybody knew it Andrews suddenly was on the because of a bad arm When Charlie Finley entered the A's clubhouse this time though he had nothing to say HE MERELY WALKED up and down and said nothing Herb Washington who had been brought in especially by Finley this season to run and do nothing else sat with his head bowed in front of his locker much the same way Ralph Branca did when he served up that famous pennant-clinching home run ball to Bobby Thomson in the Polo Grounds 23 years ago Dick Green the second baseman came by and said in there" to the disconsolate Washington Rudi also walked by and told Oakland's sprinting specialist to "stay with Eventually before newsmen were permitted to enter Washington got up and went to EL

ready to play against North Texas State Saturday in Denton Germany suffered a sprained ankle against the UT El Paso Miners Saturday night and was forced to leave the game in the third quarter some swelling in the ankle but I believe he'll be able to play at North Texas" said Bradley THE AGGIES tied for the lead in the Missouri Valley Conference will play their third straight loop game on the road we win the conlerence this year have to do it the hard way" Bradley said North Texas' record of no wins is according to Bradley who said "They may be down some but their loss by oniy 7-6 to SMU shows what they can do North Texas put a lot of emphasis on that game" AFTER LOOKING at the movies of the game with the Miners Bradley had particular praise for Roger La Roche 240-pound senior nose guard played the entire game with an injury and had eight unassisted tackles said Bradley Bradley commented that the plan to use the bomb and start without the huddle may have been good strategy and when the club had a 14-point lead his aim was to play ball control the rest of the game With the Miners closing down on Germany Bill Bowerman did a major share of the Aggie running not very fast but he has a good head and kept his said Bradley Miners gave us the outside veer and we had two big plays from it One was on eight yard touchdown run in the first quarter and the other was Germany's two-point conversion play after our second touchdown" 2B Campa-eris Jackson HR Ferguson SB Ferguson WP-Sutton 50 55 PITCHING SUMMARY IP ER BB SO Blue 7 43325 Odom 1 0 0 0 1 2 Sutton 8 5 2 2 2 Marshall
