The Tigers gambled on fourth-down five timfis in the Kent Wins, Matsko Has Big Game By RICH ZITRIN Beacon Journal stiff Writer KENT Back-handed compliments come in handy when you're trying to be tactful. You don't know anything nice to say about someone, so it's either "he has a nice personality" or "she's a nice cook." Fairly safe statements that'll get you out of ticklish situations. That's how it's been for John Matsko. The Kent State fullback lias been known as "a good blocker." No one's ever raved about his running ability, something most fullbacks take pride in. Maybe the compliments will start coming, because Matsko rushed for 113 yards in 14 carries Saturday afternoon as Kent State defeated Xavier 26-16 before 15,487 at Kent's homecoming game.

Tailback Larry Poole likewise enjoyed his best college game, scoring two touchdowns and gaining 92 yards in 12 carries as Kent became 3-3-1, while Xavier's now 3-4.

It's terrible people can't go to a ball game and enjoy the game without that kind of thing. There is something mentally wrong about anyone who would do a thing like that. "There is nothing the club can do about it, except not play me, and I'm not going to stay out of the lineup because of that." REGGIE JACKSON, the injured A's listened to Tenace being questioned about the threat and commented: "If you got to go, Gene, at least it will be on national television."

"I'm not going to let it affect me tomorrow," said Tenace after the A's had absorbed an 8-1 shellacking Saturday from the Cincinnati Reds which sent the Series into the seventh and deciding game today.
