Tjie Scoreboard Sot Rum Panthers Have Respect Of UCLA Chisox, 4-3 Cubs' Main Needs: Five Regulars Plus Some Pitching Help 2 Outfielders, 2 Infielders, Catcher To Be Sought For Next Pennant Campaign By LESTER J. B1LDERMAX, IYess Staff Writer LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 Final diary of the sea-Jon of a baseball writer who thanks Bob Schulz for the following observation: "Do not regret growing old; it is a privilege denied to many." MONDAY Duke Snider and Gil Hodges said they spent Saturday night watching the Steelers beat the Browns on TV and were very much impressed with Rooncy U. Best quote of the season came from Eddie Sawyer after the Pitt Rated Better Than Last Year Bruins 'Real High' On Cats Despite Loss To USC By ROY McHLTiH Coach Bill Barnes and his Phils booted two of the games to the Braves in Milwaukee: "That's why we finished last, we fa- UCLA football squad were spectators last week when i Southern California mopped up the floor of the Los Angeles played like that almost all season long" A 10-year-old boy won a car at the Braves' final game yesterday.

Is that all? Coliseum with Pitt and they went away deeply impressed. The team that impressed them, to hear Barnes tell it, wasn't Southern California but the poor abashed visitors from Skyscraper U. By a curious coincidence. UCLA has a game with the Panthers at Pitt Stadium today.

"We're real high on Pitt," lie declared. "We studied the pictures of their game with SO, and 1 think they've got a real good team.

"It was the strangest game! r. Don Drysdale, Dick Donovan Pitch Tomorrow By LESTER J. BIEDEIDIAN Pres Staff Writer LOS ANGELES, Oct 3 Although it was Charley Neai a regular second basman and genuine sluggtr, who manufactured the Dodgers' 4 3 victory' over the White Sox yesterday in Comiskey Park, it was a part-time benchwarmer named Chuck Essegian who lighted the fire for the winning rally in the seventh Inning. True, It wax Neal'a two homer (giod for three runs) that Kent the World Serie into the Coliseum here tomorrow all even. But it ua Essegian' home run that really detonated the explosion.

Today is an off -day for traveling and the teams will resume tomorrow with Don Drysdale opposing Dick Donovan. Essegian, the former Stanford fullback, came off the bench with two out and none on in the seventh inning and the Sox ahead by 21. Bob Shaw ran the count to 31 and Essegian exploded a tremendous home run into the upper dock, in left-center to tie th score. With Shaw rapidly fading, the Dodgers jumped on him for two more runs when Junior Gilliam walked and Is'eal rifled his second homer over the center-field bullpen's 415-loot marker. Essegian took It calmly In the clubhouse and merely said "it was the best ball I've hit all year." He had hit only one homer in a few appearances with both the arilinals and Dodgers, spending most of his tim In a Los Angeles uniform as a pinch hitter.

But the big excitement for the Sox came in their half of the eighth inning when they had the tying run cut down at the plate with none out. Larry Sherry took over after Essegian homered for Johnny Podres and after retiring the Sox in the seventh, ran Into trouble in the eighth when Ted Kluszewski dropped a single into short center. Sherm Lollar rifled a double-play shot lhat skipped off Gilliam's glove for a scratch single and now Earl Torgeson ran for Klu. Al Smith tried to bunt, failed and ran the count to 3 2. when he unloaded a long double into the left-center pocket.

Torgy scored with fas and Lollar, hesitating between first and second fearing a catch, also was waved in but was cut by 20 feet on a superb relay from Wally Moon to Maury Wills to John Roseboro. Smith had gone to third on the play and the 47.368 fans were pleading with Billy Goodman to bring in the tying run I ever saw. If you take away the losses Pitt sustained on passing, I think they gained more ground than SC did." Here Barnes was mistaken by a matter of 87 yards, but he went on to say that except for the absence of All-Ameri-can Guard John Guzik the Panthers are hotter now than they were last year, when they manhandled UCLA. "SC didn't move Pitt around," Barnes said. "It was just one of those days.

Cuccinello Takes Blame For Lollar Third-Base Coach Sent Runner Home, But Dodgers Made Easy Out At Plate LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 Third-Base Coach Tony Cuccinello took full' blame for sending in slow-footed Sherm Lollar to sudden death at home plate with the tying run and none out in the eighth inning yesterday at Comiskey Park. The Sox had runners on' when he plaved for the Cardt-first and second and the Dodg- nals," Lopez'related. We're looking at them the same as we were last year." Barnes is a Tennessee man.

FRIDAY Misting slightly when we went to Comiskey Park today but it soon stopped and the Dodgers were deprived of their batting practice because cover was laid on the field. Note some of the parking lot operators in Oakland: A 1000-car paiking lot across the street from Comiskey Park charges only $1 for the series and Mayor Richard J. Daley is responsible.

He warned paiking lot owners to keep their prices down and not gouge the fans. Art McKennan is still the champion of the press box announcers. The man at Comiskey Park is a few seconds behind on all ball and strike counts. There wete 645 fewer people at today's game than at the opener. Dick Kerr, one of the few honest players for the 1019 White Sox, is back in Chicago watching the Sox in a series again.

He weighed 115 in and weighs 118 now. Kerr was Stan Musial's first manager in the minors and befriended Stan and his wife. Last year the Musials bought the Kerr's a new home in Houston, Tex.

For the first time since the season started, Quarterback Ivan Toncic's knee was giv-ing no trouble last night, and Vic Fusia, the backfield coach, said, "He's operating now at about 73 per cent." In the Southern Cal game, according to Fusia's mathematics, he was operating at less than 50 per cent Fusia offered one further reason for cautious optimism. He said: "We've never played two bad games in a row." "I was watching the ball and didn't even know Lollar hesitated between first and second," Cuccinello explained.
