Anderson Has Smile Back Again, But Warns, 'It's Going To Wire' ATLANTA (AP) Anderson is smiling again, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds isn't ready to claim another National League West pennant yet. "It's going to be tough," Anedrson said Sunday as the redhot Reds swept a doubleheader from the Atlanta Braves and stretched their division lead to three games over the Los Ange: les Dodgers. "It's going to the wire," he added, "but if we' happened to win without going to the wire I'd be very pleased." The Big Red Machine a nine-game road with seven victories that saw them soar from I four games be-! hind the Dodgers into the I lead. Cincinnati was idle Monday night, returning home for a crucial two-game series with the Dodgers Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Riverfront Stadium.

Asked if a Redleg sweep might end it for Los Angeles, Anderson said, "No. We could hurt 'em, but still that won't do it. We've gotta win 13 more. I feel like if we win 100, we'll win it." The Reds, now 87-57, have games remaining, incluidng (five against the Dodgers--three on the road--and five against third place San Francisco, currently five and one-half games behind. Both the Dodgers and Giants missed opportunities to gain on Cincinnati when the Reds dropped decisions to the Braves Friady and Saturday nights.

"That was a big bonus when they lost, too," Anderson said. "We weren't hitting well when we came in here, but these guys don't sit around and about losses," Anderson 'U' Going With Unknowns In Opener With Maryland MORGANTOWN, W.Va.

Chairman Torbert H. Macdonald, took less than 15 minutes to gain the approval of the measure that would ban blackouts on any national televised game that is sold out 72 hours prior to the contest. Last Thursday, the Senate passed similar legislation by a vote of 76-6. Pro football commissioner Pete Rozelle testified last that if Congress passed definitive legislation banning the local blackouts, the National Football League would not wait for President Nixon to sign it into law but would begin televising the games locally. Macdonald expressed the hope again Monday that the House would pass his bill by the end of the week, thus Bowden said.

"We've got many unknowns now with all people hurt." Mountaineers finished last season with an 8-3 record before being thrashed 49-13 by North Carolina State the Peach Bowl. That loss, before 52,000 and a television audience, still haunts the fourthyear head coach. "If we get beat against Maryland, it's going to be because we aren't in shape, or because we didn't get after The harder hitting has taken its toll. Junior running back Ron Lee was felled with a knee injury, reserve quarterback Chuck Fiorante will miss at least four more weeks with a shoulder separation, and fleet sophomore backs Artie Owens and Dwayne Woods are doubtful starters Saturday because of recurring aches and pains. In addition, junior safety Marcus Mauney, switched from running back in the spring, is hobbled by a leg injury.

Lengyel Says Season Began Last November HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) Marshall University opens its 1373 football season against Morehead State this weekend," but head coach Jack Lengyel said Monday the campaign actually began last November. "We feel we really began the season against Ohio Lengyel said, referring to his team's upset victory over the Bobcats, a victory that put a glittering finish on an otherwise disappointing season that saw Marshall win two games and lose eight in 1972.

Lengyel added, "we're expecting a tough game this weekend." Lengyel and Morehead coach Roy Terry were guests at a Huntington civic club luncheon. Neither would flatly predict a victory, but both said they felt Saturday night's game here would decide how the season would turn out.

(AP) Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association said Monday they had hired James Harrison "Babe" McCarthy as their new basketball coach. McCarthy, 49, succeeds Joe Mullaney, who quit several weeks ago to become head coach of the ABA's Utah Stars. McCarthy's signing was announced by Mrs. Ellie Brown, board chairwoman of the Colonels. McCarthy, who compiled a 169-85 record in 10 years as head coach at Mississippi State, joined the ABA in its first season of 1967 when he coached New Orleans.

He was the league's coach of the year in (1969 and coached in two ABA All-Star games. A native of Mississippi, McCarthy said that "coming to coach the Kentucky Colonels was the best idea I heard in a long, long time." He announced his resignation as head cage coach at the University of Georgia two days ago. "I these regret leaving Georgia under circumstances," he said, but "I new job a on e-in-a-lifetime chance." McCarthy also said he was looking forward to working with former University of Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, now vice chairman of the Colonels, who "has contributed more to the game of basketball than any person I know of." McCarthy said that Colonels assistant coach Bud Olsen "will be riding the ship with me. I depend a lot on my assistants." The length of his and its terms were not disclosed.

"All I knew was we had to -have it," Echols said. After a bootleg had put Mullens on the Bluehawk 13, quarterback Sam Muscari gave the ball to Echols. "They hit me after I got through my hole. The line helped me out on the linebackers, and I had to get around the safetyman. The safety charged and knocked me off balance, but I spun away from him." Echols drove it to the one, then blasted across for the winning touchdown.

"If you get beat, you just get beat. We're a good ball club." Cincinnati had its seven-game winning string halted by Ron Schueler, who hurled a shutout Friday 2 night. The Reds then lost a 3-2 heartbreaker Saturday night on Dave Johnson's ninth inning home run. Cincinnati unleashed an 18-hit attack Sunday to win the opener 14-6 a and captured the nightcap on Don Gullett's four shutout 7-0.

Anderson had held Johnny Bench out of the opener, say. ing, "You know me, I'm crazy. I'm nuts. I was really looking beyond today to Tuesday because I was afraid the heat might make Bench lose a little." The Reds, who trail the Dodgers by 11 games on July 1, now have the chance to give Anderson his third pennant in four years. Maynard Traded To Cardinal Club NEW YORK (AP) The New York Jets traded wide receiver Don Maynard, the alltime leading football receiver in professional history, to the St.

Louis Cardinals Monday for an undisclosed draft choice. The 6-foot-1, 179-pounder, 15-year veteran of the National a and American Football (Leagues, has 632 career recep-' tions for 11,816 yards and 88 touchdowns. Asked for comment about the trade, Jets Coach Weeb Ewbank said: "I consider myself fortunate to have been associated with Don for all these years. He has truly been one of the finest receivers in the history of the game. We hated to let him go, but we have some fine young receivers and could not afford to lose any of them at this stage of their devlopment." The 36-year-old Maynard last year passed the receiving record of 631, held by Ray Berry, formerly of the Baltimore Colts.

Maynard caught 72 passes for 1,265 yards in 1960 for the old New York Titans of the AFL and had 71 receptions for 1,434 yards for the Jets in 1967 for his best pro seasons.

Maynard, a product of Texas Western, played one season with the New York Giants of the NFL and one season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League before joining the Jets, then the Titans, as a free agent i in 1960. Carter Injured, Lost For Season CINCINNATI (AP) quarterback Virgil Carter, injured in Saturday night's final exhibition game, was declared lost for the season Monday former St. Louis Cardinal quarterback Tim Van Galder was picked up on waivers, the Cincinnati Bengals announced.

Van Galder, 29, was waived by St. Louis last week. "We needed experience," (said Coach Paul Brown. "Our situation is not very encouraging." Carter suffered a broken collar bone and was placed on the injured reserve list. "It's a major blow," said Brown.

"'We don't even have a (weck to work with Van Galder before heading into our season opener." Waived as a result of the move was rookie Randy who was picked up on waivers Friday, but had yet to report to Cincinnati. Flanker Charlic Joiner was placed on the inactive list duc to an injury.

The junior fullback for Mullens seems well fitted for his role of grinding out yardage in the Rebels' strong' ground attack. "I like to make contact with other people. I like to hit hard," he says. Echols hit hard enough last Friday night in Mullens' 19-14 win over Sophia to pick up 111 yards and score two touchdowns, one a crucial fourthperiod TD. On the strength of his performance, he has been named the Post-Herald Player lof The Week.

Echols found it hard to crack the mostly senior Mullens backfield last season. Although he appeared in eight games, his playing time amounted to only about 12 minutes.

He had worked especially hard over the summer and had lost 18 pounds, down to 162.

"It makes me faster, I believe," he remarked. However, the way he set up his one-yard touchdowns against Sophia required grit and determination, coupled with some good blocking. "He carried the load for 11S, 9 noted his coach, Jim McNeish. His first score came near the end of the first period. He helped spearhead a drive as Mullens drove to the five.

From there, Echols blasted through to the one and then took lover. "It was rough going," Echols said of the first touchdown. was hit pretty hard.

"For the first time we'll be coaching a varsity squad with all the components. We feel the key to our season is in lishing ourselves in the first game." Lengyel said the Thundering Herd, which will have 29 returning lettermen, would have at least two freshman starters and several other freshmen who would see a lot of action.

"Our defense is short on experience," he said. "I scouted Morehead last week and we'll have a tough time keeping up with their wide receivers, Doug McCray and Vic Wharton. They also have a field goal kicker, Don Russell, who can connect from 40 to 45 yards out. He's the best we'll see this season and is worth at least three to six points a game." Lengyel said his offensive starting lineup would include senior Reggie Oliver at terback and newcomer Bill James at tight end. Oliver is a year starter but James, a standout basketball player for Marshall, will be making his first appearace on the football field.
