After Concepcion sacrificed, Anderson called on Julian Javier, who has had great success against lefthanders. Javier, batting for reliever Clay Carroll, grounded to second base, pinch-runner George Foster advanced to third. Pete was the last Rose of summer so far as the Reds' last hope went. And the best be could do was ground out to second baseman Ted Kubiak.

point? A's manager Dick Williams called it the pitchout on Concepcion, called by catcher Tenace. There, was some doubt on the call on that play. Instant replay indicated that shortstop Campy Campaneris, who covered on the play, might have missed the tag. Anderson pointed to several other turning points. "There was the bases-loaded situation where we got only one run," Sparky said.

"There was Bench's 1 a double, and there was the ninth when we had the man on second and one on how to pitch to Tenace, who had only five home runs during the regular season and had only one hit in 17 at-bats in the playoff? Anderson said the "book" by super scouts 1 't have helped bacause the pitches for each homer were bad. "The first homer was on a fast ball upstairs with not much on it and the second was on a slow curve that hung high," Anderson said. No matter how bad the pitches were, the fact remains that Tenace carried the A's to the lead in the bsst-of-seven Series which continues Sunday after-noon here. Lefthander Ross Grimsley is to start for the Reds against righthander Catfish Hunter. Nolan had allowed 13 homers during the regular season but one to a customer and two in a game only twice.

Only eight men had homered in their first official time at bat in a Series game before Tenace connected Saturday. Tenace hit only .225 during Tenace's second homer came In the fifth inning. This one was a shot to the lower deck In left, fairly close to the foul screen. The Reds had several other big chances as they outhit the A's, 7 to 4. In the sixth, Bench, who led off all four innings in which he batted, doubled off the right field wall.

That finished Holtzman. Fingers struck out both Perez and Menke and then Geronimo lined to left field. In the seventh, Concepcion led off with a single. With pinch-hitter Ted Uhlaender at bat, the A's called for a pitchout and Concepcion was nailed trying to steal. Uhlaender, only 3 for 41 as a pinch-hitter in the regular season, struck out.

After Rose walked, Blue replaced Fingers. With Morgan at bat, Blue made a wild pitch. Then be walked Morgan but Tolan fouled to the The Reds, playing before their largest crowd ever in Cincinnati, 52,918, gave it one last shot in the ninth. Hal McRae, who batted .453 on 5 for 11 in the 1970 World Se-. ries, swung for Geronimo and Finers and Vida Blue.

1 1 a got the victory, Blue the save. And the victim was Cincy starter Gary Nolan, who coughed up both homers to Tenace on bad pitches. Tenace put the A's in front, 2-0, in the second inning with a line-drive homer over the left field wall after George Hen-drick walked on a three-ball, two-strike pitch with two out. The A's pitchers stopped the Reds' first three batters on one hit, a two-out single by Bobby Tolan in the third inning, and two walks. Pete Rose and Joe Morgan each drew a pass.

Cincy manager Sparky Anderson put it simply and conclusively. "When you stop our front three, we lose," Sparky said. So it remained for Johnny Bench and a few others to get the Reds back in the game. Cincy got a run back in the second after filling the bases with nobody out. Bench and Tony Perez singled to left and Denis Menke walked.

Then Cesar Geronimo popped to shortstop and Dave Concepcion hit By Neal Russo Of tha Post-Dispatch Staff CINCINNATI, Oct. 14 It's misspelled "Tenance" on 1 bats. It was Tenacci before his grandparents, who came to the United States from Italy, Americanized the family name. It's pronounced "Tennis" instead of "Ta-NATCH-ee." But no matter how Gene Tenace's name is spelled or pronounced, it won't be forgotten easily by the Cincinnati Reds. Tenace and the full handle is Fury Gene Tenace drove in all of his Oakland team's runs Saturday as the A's upset the Reds, 3-2, in the first game of the world Series at Riverfront Stadium.

Louis Blues, winless in three National Hockey League starts this season, suffered their eighth straight loss to the defending West Division champion Chicago Black Hawks at The Arena Saturday night when they bowed, 4-2, before a sellout crowd of 18,630. The teams will meet again Sunday night in Chicago in a televised encounter that will be carried by KPLR-TV (Channel 11) starting at 7:30 o'clock. The Blues, whose record against Chicago since 1967 is 5-18-6, haven't beaten the Hawks since the 1970-71 season. They were 0-6 against them last year. In addition, the Blues have never won a game in Chicago, which puts added pressure on them Sunday night.

Chicago, at in four starts, now leads the West Division with eight points. But the Hawks have played only one game on the road thus far. The loss by the Blues established a club record. Prior to Saturday night's game they had never gone more than three games without a victory at the start of a season in their six-year history. In this one, the Black Hawks jumped to a 3-1 first-period lead, held a 4-1 edge after two sessions and allowed only one goal in the final 20 minutes.

The Blues came out skating like madmen in the first period and had the Black Hawks on the run for the first 11 minutes. But a lucky goal and a couple of defensive mistakes quickly knocked the confidence out of them. Left winger Floyd Thomson, who spent most of last season bouncing between the NHL and the minors, opened the scoring for St. Louis at 6 minutes 36 seconds with a shot from an extreme angle that Chicago goalie Gary Smith i and tried to backhand across his body on the short side. Instead of gloving the puck, however, Smith managed only to get a piece of it and It dropped into the net.

Up until that point, the Black Hawks hadn't had a dangerous shot on the St. Louis cage. But and at the right, getting hand shakes from first baseman Mike Hegan and third baseman Sal Bando, is Gene Tenace whose two home runs were all the offensive power the A's needed.

By a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch LINCOLN, Oct. 14 -University of Missouri fans will long remember Bob Devaney, head football coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Retiring after the current season, Devaney led his highly-ranked Huskers against '01 Mizzou for the last time Saturday. It was the eleventh time a a Devaney-led Nebraska team had clashed with the Devaney bade farewell to his Big Eight adversaries by dealing them their worst conference loss in history and their worst defeat in 40 years. Nebraska, which rolled up a 77-7 victory earlier this season over Army, wrecked Missouri, 62-0. The Tigers of 1932 took a 654 thrashing from the Texas Long-horns for their worst shutout defeat. Nebraska, since losing its opener, 20-17, to UCLA, has gone all out in an effort to re- quarter play on a piece of Texas trickery, the high-velocity Sooners held a shaky 3-0 lead on a 37-yard field goal by Rick Fulcher.

Texas quarterback Alan Low-ry dropped back to punt on third down from his own 15-yard line and Moore roared in untouched. Guard Lucious Sel-mon flopped on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Oklahoma's Gary Baccus batted a Texas pitchout into the end zone and Moore fell on the ball for another six points. It was Moore's blocked kick that sapped the life from the spirited Longhorns, who had Major College Scores Buckeyes Win, 26-7 inois Is Overrun II gain its No. 1 status.

Seeking a third-straight National 1 1 e-giate Athletic Association championship, the Cornhuskers have outscored their last four opponents, 225-14. But Devaney and Co. could not be faulted for running up the score on the Tigers. Missouri did everything it could to help the Cornhuskers' cause by turning the ball over to them in easy-scoring distance. And, if you divide the final score into first and second teams, it reads: Nebraska First Team 41, Missouri Nebraska Second Team 21, Missouri 0.

Devaney ended his career at Nebraska against Missouri with a 7-4 slate. And in the last two years, Devaney's Cornhuskers have outscored MU, 98-0. The 62 points is the most ever recorded by the Huskers in the MU series which began in 1892. Oddly, Nebraska won that first game, 1-0, on a forfeit. For Al Onofrio's Tigers, who fell to 2-3 for the season and 0-2 in the Big Eight, it was the most embarrassing conference shellacking since Bud Wilkinson's Oklahoma Sooners mauled Don Faurot's Tigers, 67-14, In 1956.

Nebraska held a 21-0 lead at half Saturday and, all things considered, it wasn't too bad of a showing for Mizzou. Though they could manage just 39 yards (all on the ground) in the first half, the Tigers could have trailed by just 14 points at the half. After Nebraska scored on a 12-play, 43-yard drive in the first quarter (Gary Dixon crossed the goalline from the 1) and then on a 77-yard drive (Dave Humm's 28-yard scoring i to All-America Johnny Rodgers in the second quarter), the Tigers gave the Huskers the final TD of the half.

Oklahoma's defense was sur-perb in being the first team to shutout the Longhorns since 1963, a period of 100 games. The Sooners intercepted four Longhom passes and recovered four fumbles. Oklahoma has yet to allow a touchdown this season. The deepest Longhom drive was to the Oklahoma 25-yard line where a fourth-and-two sit-u a i was stopped cold by Sooner corner a ck Larry Roach. The usually conservative Dar-r 1 1 Royal-coached Longhorns passed 32 times in an effort to confuse the Sooner defenders.

It was the most passes ever thrown by a Royal team at Texas. Oklahoma, which led the nation in total offense with 621 yards per game, was held to only 273 yards by the Texas defense, which seemed to milt after Moore's big, third quarter play. The flashy Pruitt was held to 81 yards in 11 carries by the swarming Longhorns defense. Oklahoma allowed Texas only 73 yards on the ground as it shut down the Longhorn Wishbone. Texas gained 186 yards through the air.
