PAGE 6 DAILY NEWS, Huntingdon, Mount Union and Saxron, May 3, 1978 Forsch Blanks Giants; Catfish, BVMIKESHALIN DPI Sports Writer Bob Forsch may be having problems but you'd have trouble telling that to the San Francisco Giants. Forsch, who lost two straight starts since throwing the only no-hitter in the major leagues this season, tossed a five-hit shutout Tuesday afternoon as the St. Louis Cardinals crushed the Giants, 9-0. Alive "I got by," Forsch said, after handing new Cardinal Manager Ken Boyer his third shutout victory in four games. "That's all that counts." The 28-year-old right- hander says he's having trouble with his delivery he says he's rushing his pitches.

"I don't know exactly what it is," he says. "I'm trying to sit back and wait a little more, but I'm still rushing and not getting the pitches where I want them. Whatever problems he's having with his mbtion, Forsch, now 4-2, allowed only doubles in the third, fourth BASEBALL STANDINGS" National League Phila Montreal Chicago Pittsbrgh St. Louis New York Los Angels Cincinnal San Fran Houston San Diego Atlanta East 11 11 12 10 10 10 West 13 13 11 10 8 8 7 8 9 10 12 14 8 9 11 12 13 14 Pet. .611 .579 .571 .500 .455 .417 Pet.

Both flashed encouraging signs of that old brilliance Tuesday night. Hunter, in his worst season last year when a shoulder injury and a urological ailment curtailed him to iust nine wins, was still victimized by his old nemesis, the gopher ball.

He yielded back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning.but yielded only five hits in seven innings. And with the aid of Lou Piniella's two-run homer, he chalked up his first victory of the season in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. "It's been a long time, said Hunter, who hadn't won since August 24 of last year. "As long as I can pop the ball as I did tonight, everything should be all right. I've been pushing it instead of popping it.

Piniella's homer capped a three-run sixth inning that wiped out a 2-1 Royals' lead, while Sparky Lyle finished up with two innings of shutout relief for his fourth save. Meanwhile, the 36-year-old Wood, who spent most of the past two seasons recovering from a shattered left kneecap, scattered eight hits in beating the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-3, with the help of Lamar Johnson's two-run homer in the eighth inning. It was the second win in five decisions for Wood.

(UPI) Joe Bedenk, 80, who was Penn State's baseball coach from 1931 through 1962 and its head football coach in 1949, died Tuesday at the Mountainview Unit of Centre Community Hospital after a long illness. Bedenk, an All-America football guard at Penn State in 1923, became one of the nation's outstanding collegiate baseball coaches, compiling a 32-year record of 410-161-6. He had only one losing season. Nine of his teams played in NCAA tournaments. The Williamsport, native also served as an assistant football coach for 24 years.

He was head football coach for one season (1949); after the death of Bob Higgins, but retired from football coaching in 1950, when Rip Engle took over the helm of the Niltany Lions. "Joe Bedenk was a legend as a coach and as a player," said Penn State Athletic Director Edward M. Czekaj, who played football for Bedenk in 1947 and 1948. "He was a Penn State institution and will be sorely missed by everyone in the community." Following his graduation from Penn State in 1924, Bedenk served as football line coach and head baseball coach at Rice Institute and the University of Florida. He returned to Penn State as football line coach in 1929 and took over baseball duties two years later.

A's2, BlueJaysl: Gary Alexander hit his fifth game-winning home run of the season and the continually surprising A's got more good pitching as Matt Keough and Elias Sosa combined on a five-hitter. Orioles 3, Red Sox 1: Eddie Murray's seven- thinning homer snapped a 1-1 tie and Dennis Martinez hurled a four-hitter in the Orioles' victory. Indians 4, Mariners 1: Willie Horton stroked a t- worun homer in the seventh inning to stake southpaw Rick Waits to his second victory. Waits yielded just five hits before getting relief help from Rick Krueger and Jim Kern in the ninth.

Tigers 10, Angels 2: Jason Thompson drove in three runs with his fifth homer and a pair of singles, while rookie Lance Parrish accounted for three other RBIs during a five-run first inning. Milt Wilcox was the beneficiary of the Tigers' outburst.

"You think you have the injuries behind you and now this happens," lamented Washington Coach Dick Motta.

"I was afraid something was broken, so at least it's not all bad news." Motta's latest concern is muscular center Wes Unseld, who suffered a badly sprained ankle Sunday in Washington's 122-117 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bullets lead the best-of-seven Eastern Conference championship series, 1-0. So if Washington hopes to contain the physical 76ers on the boards in tonight's second game at Philadelphia, it will have to be a workmanlike effort. Affirmed Has Tough Trainer By JENNY KELLNER UPI Sports Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) A photographer was hanging around barn 41 at Churchill Downs late Tuesday morning, waiting for Kentucky Derby contender Affirmed to finish cooling out so he could get a picture of the chestnut colt with owner Mrs.

Lou Wolfson. "Not yet," commanded trainer Laz Barrera when Mrs. Wolfson asked if the colt was ready. "I'm the captain, and what I say goes." Barrera, a Cuban by birth, had just finished explaining the parallels between running a racing stable and managing a baseball team. Like many of his countrymen, the expansive trainer is a rabid baseball fan and his favorite team is, of course, the New York Yankees.

"I got a lotta respect for Billy Martin," said Barrera. "I know what it could be like. If I let my horses do what they wanted to, I wouldn't be here. He's in the same position. You gotta be tough." Barrera has been tough with his colt, Affirmed, who was the 2-year-old champion last year and is one of the favorites to take Saturday's 104th running of the spring classic.

Affirmed has won more money $700,127 coming into the Triple Crown 'races than any other 3-year-old in history. So far this year, Affirmed is undefeated and in fact has only two losses in his entire career both to Alydar. Alydar is expected to the the slight favorite in the 1 1-4 mile Derby, which probably will have 10 starters, including the undefeated Sensitive Prince and Wood Memorial winner Believe It, as well as Esops Foibles, Darby Creek Road, Dr. Valeri, Chief of Dixieland, Hoist the Silver and Raymond Earl. Affirmed, to be ridden by the Kentucky-fried hero himself, Steve Cauthen, trained for the Derby in California, where he won four straight races including the Hollywood and Santa Anita Derbies.

But things weren't as smooth as Barrera would have liked. "The weather was so wet, it rained for 28 days," said Barrera. "He had to jog around the shedrow eight straight days because the main track was closed." The colt looks in excellent shape for the Derby, however, and holds a 4-2 edge over Alydar in their six meetings as 2-year-olds. This year, says Barrera, his colt looks even better. "If Affirmed was a baseball player, he'd be Joe DiMaggio," said Barrera wih a smile.

"He does things so easy." Barrera the colt is one of the easiest colts he has ever had. "He does anything you want him to," said Barrera. "He can come from behind (and) he can run anywhere. And any time he- has more pressure, he runs a little more. Hels a great horse." Billy Martin, eat your heart out.

Opener ByMIKETULLY UPI Sports Writer The Toronto Maple Leafs engaged Montreal Tuesday night and discovered what they could have learned by reading the names on the Stanley Cup the Canadiens are not the New York Islanders. "That's the best first period we've had in the playoffs this year," Montreal Coach Scotty Bowman said, after the Canadiens scored a 5-3 victory the Leafs for a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven semifinal series. Boston topped Philadelphia, 3-2, on Rick Middleton's 6vertime goal in the other sdmi-final. "We were anxious to gel this game under way and see how we would play after a one- week layoff," said Montreal captain Yvan Cournoyer, who scored two goals. "We thought we would be sky-high tonight," said Toronto Coach Roger Neilson.

"We couldn't have been worse." Montreal's Serge Savard opened the scoring at 23 seconds of the first period. Ron Ellis tied it, but Cournoyer and Jacques Lemaire gave Montreal a 3-1 lead. Cournoyer and Guy Lafleur scored in the third period after Ian Turnbull, continuing a marvelous playoffs, scored in the second. Cournoyer moved into fourth place in the all- time NHL playoff goal-scoring race with 63. "Records are nice to but winning a key game like this is a much more important thing," said Cournoyer.

The second game of I no- series will be played in Montreal Thursday before the teams move to Toronto for games 3 and 4. In Boston, Rick Middleton lofted an eight-foot wrist shot past goalie Bernie Parent into overtime as the Bruins grabbed a 1-0 lead in the series. Jean Ratelle, who scored a goal and an assist in the game, won the faceoff from Bobby Clarke and drew it back to Rick Smith on the left point. Smith passed the puck to Ratelle, who relayed it to Middleton. Clarke banged the side of the net with his stick in frustration.

Clarke had lied the game at 5:02 of the third period, scoring on a rebound. The Bruins grabbed a first-period lead on Ratelle's first playoff goal. Reggie Leach tied the game on a power play later in the period and the Bruins went ahead, 2-1, in the second period when Don Marcotte, who had just killed off a two- minute penally, scored on a tip-in. In Ihe World Hockey Associalion, Quebec and New England meet tonight with their semi-final series tied at one game apiece. The winner plays Winnipeg for the championship.

3 Penn State Boys Go High PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Jimmy Cefalo says he didn't know too much about the Miami Dolphins before the NFL draft began, but they're going to be real familiar to him from now on. Cefalo, Penn State's allpurpose flanker, wingback and punt returner from Pittston, was selected by the Dolphins in the third round of Tuesday's draft, a move he called "a happy surprise." Also chosen in the same round with Cefalo was tight end Mickey Shuler, the pick of the New York Jets. The two receivers helped quarterback Chuck Fusina break or tie nine Penn State passing records with one season to go. The Jets also tabbed Penn State's Randy Sidler in the fifth round and.announced the onetime middle guard of the Nittany Lions would be tried at linebacker. The 6-foot, 185-pound Cefalo, who accounted for five touchdowns receiving, two returning punts and one rushing and continued his fine play in postseason All-Star games, said he didn't think the Dolphins would pick him since he hadn't heard from them before the draft.

"I don't know a whole lot about them, just what the normal guy knows from watching them on TV," he said. "It's a funny thing, watching them on TV those years when they were world champions and now getting drafted by them." Before the Dolphins contacted him, Cefalo said he was waiting by the phone, accepting the well-wishes of friends and the prayers of his mother and grandmother. "It's such a waiting game," he said. "I just sat here all day. There have been about 20 people in an out all day.

My rriqUjer. was saying a novena all day arid my grandmother was in the corner with the Rosary." At Miami, Cefalo, who averaged 13.7 yards per punt, is expected to get a full shot at replacing wide receiver and punt returner Freddie Solomon, who was traded. Shuler, a 6-4, 226-pound native of Enola, also expressed little knowledge of his new team but was glad to be playing close to home and with his good friend, Sidler, who will be in Shuler's wedding party on June 3. "I don't know a whole lot about the Jets but someone just called me and told me Randy Sidler is going to be there, and that's great," Shuler said. "I'm really glad Randy is going to the Jets.

By IRA KAUFMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) One of the nation's leading passers and several other glittering nuggets of talent remain untapped as the 1978 National Football League draft moves into its final day today.

After the six rounds completed Tuesday, most of this year's top college seniors were gobbled up among the 166 selected yet a few players sporting impressive credentials have not been drafted by the 28 NFL teams, and it is these players who undoubtedly will be the focus of today's final six rounds. For instance, Boston College's outstanding quarterback Ken Smith is still available: Under the 6-foot-l, 195-pounder's cool hand, the Eagles ranked 13th nationally in passing offense. There were no major "player" surprises throughout Tuesday's first six rounds, but the breakdown among colleges may provide the blueprint for a new trend. The college supplying the most players to the lypj, during the first six, rounds did not come from we Pacjfie-8 conference, the Big Ten conference, or the Big conference. It came from a little independent school in Nashville, Tenn.

Tennessee State led all schools by supplying seven players through the first six rounds. The, Kansas City Chiefs, who selected Kentucky defensive end Art Still on the first round, hope Tennessee State defensive end Sylvester Hicks is made from the same mold as Atlanta's havoc-raising defensive end Claude Humphrey and other current pros producedf by Tennessee State.

represented by si.x players in the first six rounds: Florida, Notre Dame and San Diego State. Running back Dave Turner, selected Cincinnati midway through the second round, was the first Aztec player selected, and perhaps NFL scouts are finally "sold" on the pro ability of small-college athletes. Texas fullback Earl Campbell, the Heisman Trophy Award winner, was the first player selected in the draft, picked by the Houston Oilers in a trade from Tampa Bay. 'Tm going to be Earl and not try to be anything more or less," said Campbell. "The biggest adjustment for me is that the pace of pro football will be a lot faster.

After the Chiefs selected Still, New Orleans took Florida receiver Wes Chandler, the New York Jets took mammoth 275-pound Obip State tackle Chris Ward and Buffalo, seeking to plug the gap left by trade of O.ij.
