Successful '71 season ends Terriers lose 15-7 in hard-fought game By VIC MILLER Pasadena will meet Westminster in one of the GIF quarterfinal football playoff games next week instead of Redlands. The Terriers wound up their still highly successful 1971 grid season last night dropping a 15-7 heartbreaker to the visiting Bulldogs before 7,200 fans at the UR stadium. Hurting the Terrier cause most last night were a couple first half scoring opportunities which went for naught. Redlands muffed a first and ten chance on the Bulldogs one and on another occasion got to the 14 but came up empty handed both times in the second period. The Terriers shut out Pasadena with only 48 net yards while blasting for 131 yards in the opening two quarters and out- first-downed the visitors 12-2.

Most fans figured it was just a matter of time when the two teams came back on the field after intermission before Redlands began piling up points But, it was not to be. Pasadena came roaring out and took almost six minutes following the Redlands kickoff to score on a 20 yard field goal by Dan Serrano. Redlands had the ball only on one series in the third period but that was also for about six minutes and again it failed to produce any points. The Bulldogs continued to play ball control football in opening the final quarter. Starting on their 26 yard line following a kick, the visitors marched 80 yards in 12 plays only to give up the ball on downs on the Redlands 19.

Halfback Mitchell Curtis, the Terriers leading ball carrier, picked up two yards to the 21 before Pasadena got a big break. It came when Doug Turner intercepted a Brian BiUick pass on the Redlands 12 yard line. One play later Gary Strong went over his left side for the game's first touchdown. Terrier linebacker Mike Price blocked the extra point try and with 6:44 left, Pasadena led 9-0. While the Bulldogs got their tally on an error, Redlands retaliated a few minutes later when end Mike Moore recovered a George Bennett fumble on the Pasadena seven.

On first and goal Curtis picked up six yards to the one and two plays later Billick scored on a sneak. Hughes kick was good and it was a 9-7 game with 3:51 remaining. An ensuing on-side kick gave the Bulldogs the ball on the Terrier 45. Bennett, who has averaged better than 100 yards a game this season, then broke loose for his longest gainer of the night. He smashed 37 yards putting the ball on the Redlands eight.

The Terriers held to a fourth and two but Bennett then plunged just barely into the end zone. The extra point try failed and with 1:48 yet to play Pasadena led 15-7. Gunning for a touchdown and two point conversion, Redlands started on its 12 following the kickoff. Billick hit three passes for 50 yards but on his last effort, with less than a minute to play, Eric Higgins intercepted on his own 33 and that was it. Despite a prolific offense and a brick wall defense in the first half, it was then that the Terriers actually lost out.

Had they converted their two golden opportunities into tallies, the score might have read 21-15. Mike Moore recovered a Pasadena fumble early in the second quarter and using their vaunted ground attack halfback Bernard Fauntleroy and Curtis moved the Terriers down to the 14 on five combined carries. After Billick hit Moore with a pass in the end zone, ruled out of bounds, the Terriers ended up fourth and 29 on the 33 and had to kick. The other muffed chance came on the Terriers next series of downs. Starting on their own 48 after a punt, Billick guided them to the one yard line in six plays but a penalty, a 10 yard loss by Fauntleroy and an interception on the Bulldog three halted this opportunity.

The Terriers led in most of the statistics. They gained 237 net yards to the Bulldogs 219 and picked up 19 first downs to 10 for the Pacific League champs. Curtis paced the Terrier ground attack picking up 78 yards in 12 carries. Fauntleroy got 43, Robbie Robinson 30, Bruce Gibson 12 and Billick seven. Billick hit on nine of 20 passes for 67 yards, Fauntleroy snagged two aerials for 17 yards, end Dennis Braga, two for 15, Curtis, two for 12, Robinson, two for 11, and Gibson, one for 12.

Bulldog halfback Steve Mitchell led all carriers with 85 yards in eight packs. Bennett wound up with 70 yards in 20 carries. The Terriers hung in and fought to the very end a credit to the squad, then- coaches and, in particular, to the 27 seniors suited up for their final prep game. They included Robinson, John Gonzales, Ken Scribner, Billick, Willie Hayes, Fauntleroy, Walt Rogers, Curtis, Paul Barich, Mike Poe," John Neely, Bruce Hauser, Keith Dennemeyer, Pat Follett, Bob Clark, Price, Joey Villalpando, Bob Gustavson, Paul Miles, Randy Roddy, Hughes, Bernie Brown, Mike Moore, Dan Snow, John Solvason, Steve Lambson and Craig Smith. Despite the post-game gloom in the field house last night, 1971 was a good year for Terrier football.

Redlands finished with a 7-2-1 record, an undefeated CBL season and captured the league championship. Now instead of Westminster in football next Friday it will be Long Beach Jordan in basketball here for the Terriers. In other CIF playoff games in "AAAA" competition, Bishop Am at downed Blair 26-0, Westminster edged Corona del Mar 28-26, Dominguez upset St. Paul 16-8, Western defeated North Torrance 20-7, Rosemead eked by Santa Fe 10-7, El Rancho beat the other Pacific League entry, Arcadia, 21-6and Buena blanked St. Francis 21-0.

Next week it will be Bishop Amat vs. Rosemead, Westminster vs. Pasadena, El Rancho vs. Buena, and Dominguez vs. Western in the quarterfinals.

Redskins, Eagles battle Sports features Sunday in NFL By United Press International The results will be in Sunday in the effect of pro football's first presidential pep talk. The nation's No. 1 fan, President Nixon, personally attempted to revive the sagging spirits of the Washington Redskins this week when he made a visit to their training camp and predicted they'd make the playoffs.

The Redskins, who were the talk of pro football when they started off the season with a 5-0 record, are now l-3-l in their last five games and trail the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Eastern Division. Since Dallas escaped with a victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Day, Washington's playoff hopes are dim. All the Cowboys have to do is to beat the two injury- crippled New York teams Jets and Giants and St. Louis to clinch the playoff berth. But Dallas has been known to slip before and the Redskins like to think they can still get straightened out.

They'll attempt to start rolling Sunday when they travel to Philadelphia to meet the Eagles. The Eagles have gone in the exact opposite direction of the Redskins this year. They lost their first five before new coach Ed Khayat ordered those celebrated haircuts. It may have been pure coincidence but the Eagles have responded with a 3-1-1 record in their last five games. The key question for the Redskins is whether Coach Allen will give veteran Sonny Jurgensen his first start of the year at quarterback.

Allen gave Bill Kilmer the starting job when Jurgensen was injured in the exhibition season and Kilmer performed well at the start of the season but he's been erratic in recent games and couldn't put a point on the board against Dallas before he was relieved laet week. Jurgensen couldn't score either and the team was blanked. The popular explanation for the Redskins' demise is that the long grind of the season is taking its toll on the team's veterans. Allen insists that's nonsense. "It's injuries, not age, that's hurt us," he explained.

Philadelphia has been helped by the addition of kicker Tom Dempsey, who was cut by New Orleans this year despite his record- breaking 63-yard field goal last season. Dempsey was picked up by the Eagles and replaced former Texas star Happy Feller. Dempsey responded with field goals of 41,27 and 45 yards in the Eagles' 37 20 victory over St. Louis. There will only be 10 games on the schedule Sunday.

Four clubs, Detroit, Dallas, Kansas City and Los Angeles, will be resting because they played on Thanksgiving Day. In Sunday's other games, Baltimore is at Oakland, Atlanta goes to Minnesota. New Orleans meets Green Bay at Milwaukee, San Francisco visits the New York Jets, Denver goes to Pittsburgh, Cleveland is at Houston, New England is at Buffalo, St. Louis goes to the New York Giants and San Diego is at Cincinnati. The Baltimore-Oakland clash will have a vital bearing on the playoff hopes of both clubs.

But the only game in which first place is at stake is the San Francisco-Jets contest. A Forty-Niner victory will move the club a half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West. There's a chance Joe Namath will make his first appearance for the Jets against San Francisco if the weather at Shea Stadium isn't as miserable as it usually is in November. But it's more likely the Jets will unveil him next Saturday against Dallas. That game, incidentally, will be nationally televised.

Oakland can move l'i games ahead of Kansas City in the AFC West with a victory over Baltimore while the Colts need a victory to stay close to Miami in the AFC East. DAILY FACTS, Redlands, Calif. Saturday, November 7 Lakers win 13th '1- MIKE MOORE SETS UP RHS TALLY -Terrier Mike Moore (dark uniform, center), fell on this loose ball late in the fourth quarter on the Pasadena seven yard line.

(Facts photo by Rich Beemer) Straight Leads Heritage Golf by stroke Rosewall upsets Rod haver DALLAS (UPI) Ken Rosewall, having reached the ripe old age of 37, intends to slow down. Rod Laver must be very thankful for that. Rosewall upset Laver Friday in the finals of the first World Championship of Tennis WCT Tournament, hauling away $50,000, a bright red sports car and a special gift from WCT founder Lamar Hunt a diamond ring that proclaims Rosewall 'Tennis World Champion." Rosewall ignored a shot in the left eye by a caroming tennis ball to finish off his countryman 6-4, 7-6, 7-6, and then talked about how far professional tennis has come in past years. "Some of the younger players don't know what professional tennis went through in the early years," Rosewall said. "There were times when Rod and I and other players played only for the benefit and improvement of the game.

"That's why I played more than I should have at times and why Rod played more than he should have at times. "Now, I have reached a state at which I must be thankful that I have played as long as I have had a chance to. I still intend to be one of the guys on the tour, but I won't be playing as much as I have." It was fitting that Rosewall, having seen such lean times during the formative years of professional tennis, was involved when pro tennis reached its greatest height Friday. The finals of the first WCT tournament was the richest single tennis match ever played. Laver went home with $20,000.

The eight-man tournament climaxed a 20-event tour around the world. And despite the fact the final match was played at a less than ideal time for spectators the noon CST starting time on the day after Thanksgiving was considered a likely slot by television, a near-capacity crowd of 8,100 persons turned up in Dallas' Memorial Auditorium for what turned out to be a first class display of tennis. Rosewall played steady, almost flawless tennis during the two-hour match, but Laver had obvious difficulty with his serve perhaps being thrown off by four foot fault calls against him by one linesman.

Sharman, the genius behind it all, had just watched his Los Angeles Lakers bury the Detroit Pistons by 19 points for their 13th straight victory'.

The National Basketball Association record of 20 in a row established by Milwaukee last season was brought up. "We don't think about that," said Sharman, whose club is one win away from completing a perfect month. "We're up for every game. We seem to take a lot of pride in playing out best. I expect a letdown but we never seem to have it.

I really don't have anything to worry about except for injuries." A 132-113 winner over the Pistons on a Friday night when Wilt Chamberlain scored a season high 31 points and pulled down 31 rebounds, Los Angeles went 5'i games in front in the NBA's Pacific Division. The Seattle Supersonics, the divisional favorites, and the Golden State Warriors are tied for second place. For the Lakers, it was their 19th triumph in 22 starts. They're 9-2 at home and 1-0 on the road. With Jerry West in the lineup, Sharman's new-look club is 17-0.

Against the Pistons, West scored 25 points and contributed 18 assists. Gail Goodrich, the Lakers' top scorer, finished with 24 although he sat out the entire fourth period. Chamberlain, who went into the game averaging only 11 points a game, took advantage of Piston center Bob Lanier, who drew three fouls in the opening period. Chamberlain scored most of his points on slam dunks and tip-ins. Lanier led the Detroit attack with 29 points while Terry Dischinger and rookie Curtis Rowe had 17 and 16, repec- tively.

The Lakers host the Supersonics Sunday night in a bid to finish November with a perfect record. SAVARD STAYS DISABLED MONTREAL (UPI) -Serge Savard, Montreal Canadiens' defenseman who suffered a broken leg in two successive seasons, will not be able to return to action for some time to the National Hockey League club, it was announced Thursday by team physician Doug Kinnear. McLendon gives it his all for his new born baby HILTON HEAD, S.C. (UPI) Don't blame Mac McLendon if he uses the crap shooters' lament, "Baby Needs A New Pair of Shoes," while trying to protect his shaky lead in the Heritage Golf Classic. Mac has won only $17,000 in 30 previous tournament appearances this year and that five-week-old baby back in Birmingham, is the reason the 26-year-old golf pro was off the PGA Circuit the past two months.

McLendon shot a 4-under-par 67 over the dangerous Harbour Town Course at this seaside resort Friday for a two-day total of 138 that put him one stroke ahead of Bob Lunn and two ahead of the always- threatening Jack Nicklaus, Canadian George Knudson and Bob E. Smith. Gunn, who had trimmed down from 235 pounds to 173 but is now back up to 200, shot a 68-139 Friday while Nicklaus had a 69, Knudson a tournament low 66 and Smith his second straight 70 for their 140s. McLendon, whose only victory in four years on the tour was in the Magnolia Classic as a rookie in 1968, started out Friday like he was going to take Harbour Town apart. He sank a 20-foot birdie putt on the first hole, rolled in a 125-yard approach shot for an eagle-2 at the third and then put his tee shot three and a half feet from the pin for another birdie at the fourth.

But he couldn't hold the pace, playing even par golf the rest of the way in as he matched two more birdies against two bogeys. "I thought about gambling after that fast start," said the 6-foot-2 Louisiana State graduate. "But it's hard not to play conservative on a course like this, even when you are four under. There are too many holes where a missed shot can cost you a couple of strokes." It took only a 10-over-par 152 for 72 golfers in the original field of 102 to survive the halfway cut. The golfers blamed the high scores mainly on the bare greens.

"The only thing tough about this course is the greens," said this year's leading money winner Lee Trevino who recovered from a near-disastrous opening day 78 with a 71-149. "A one-foot putt is tough to make here. The grass didn't germinate and the paint they used to spray the greens makes the grass stiff. The Heritage marks the first time that the current "Big 3" of U.S. golf Trevino, Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, who had a 74143 have been together in a regular PGA tournament in four months.

Trevino, with a record $227,000, holds a $20,000 lead over runnerup Nicklaus in their battle for the money title and Palmer, only $4,000 shy of his first $200,000 season, is third. First-round leader Hale Irwin shot a 73-141 Friday, five strokes higher than his opening score, and slipped back into sixth place. Palmer, Frank Beard 68, Gay Brewer 69 and Rod Curl 73 were tied for seventh with their 143s. Canfield regains Road Race title GAINESVILLE, Ga. (UPI) A national champion and a former champion held new crowns today going into the second day of the fiercely- contested American Road Race of Champions.

Randy Canfield, a rangy, 41- year-old physicist from Chevy Chase, Md. regained the Production Championship he won in 1969, driving an Austin- Healy Sprite to victory in one of Friday's four races. Tom Davey, 28, Tenaly, N.J., retained his current national championship formula Super Vee. The three-day, 16-race ARRC decides national chamionships in 22 classes of sports car Gub of America road racing. More than 400 drivers are competing, by invitation only.

Cloudy skies and biting cold have held down speeds on the 2.5 mile road Atlanta Course. Other champions crowned Friday were Marshall Meyer of Livermore, who won the Production Race in a Triumph Spitfire; Harry Stephenson, Miami, who won Sports Racing in his Honda Maru; Tom Evans, Santa Barbara, who won the Sports Racing Championship in his Alfa-powered racer, and Jim Harrell, Tec urn sen, who won the Formula Ford event in a Titan. Today's five-39-minute races will decide champions in and sedan, Formula and Formula Vee, and and Production. Evans, a bearded, 29-year- old mechanic, won the Sports Racing event Friday in a typical ARRC finish, blasting across the line nine-tenths of a second ahead of the Arachnid 2C of Eric Kerman, Hempstead, N.Y. He took the lead in the back of the course on the next-to-last lap and held it for the victory.

Stephenson, the Sports racing winner, finished seventh overall in that race, one of four Friday. Namath vs. Brodie? Could be NEW YORK (UPI) Joe Namath against John Brodie? Well, at least half of that is correct. Coach Dick Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers quashed talk that Steve Spurrier would open Sunday's game against the New York Jets at Shea Stadium. "John will start against the Jets," said Nolan in his usual terseness just before the 49ers enplaned Friday for the East Coast.

And there's talk in Fun City that Namath may make his first start of the season for the Jets. He has been out of action since Aug. 7 with torn knee ligaments that required surgery. He has been rounding into playing shape slowly over the past few weeks and Jet coach Weeb Ewbank has hinted he may open with the former Alabama passer. With Al Woodall and Bob Davis at quarterback, the Jets have compiled a 4-6 record.

In their last three games, they have allowed 31 points in beating Kansas City 13-10, losing to Baltimore 14-13 and defeating Buffalo 20-7. San Francisco, virtually tied with Los Angeles at 6-4 in the NFC West, has gone season- long with Brodie at quarterback. He has thrown 21 interceptions as opposed to 10 all last season. Nolan said on Thursday he hadn't decided yet whether Brodie or Spurrier would start against the Jets.
