The Tigers were breezing along with a 6-2 lead in the nightcap when Fregosi touched off the eighth inning burst with a single off Fred Lasher, who had replaced 22-game winner Earl Wilson in the sixth. Lasher walked Jimmie Hall and was clipped for run-scoring singles by Don Mincher and Rick Reich-ardt before giving way to Hank Aguirre.

The Veteran southpaw got pinch hitter Bubba Morton to tap back to the mound, but threw to first base for the first out as Mincher scored the third run in the inning. AGUIRRE THEN walked Bob Rodgers and was lifted for Fred Gladding. After Bobby Knoop singled off Gladding's glove to fill the bases, John Hiller became the Tigers fourth pitcher in the inning and Tom Satriano greeted him with a run-scoring single, tying it 6-6. Hiller fanned pinch hitter Bob Taylor for the second out, but Fregosi then lined a single to right center for the winning runs. The Tigers scored three runs in the first inning.

Dick McAuliffe singled and Angels starter Jack Hamilton walked Jerry Lumpe, Willie Ho ton and Ed Mathews, forcing in one run. Curt Simmons came in and hit Jim Northrup with a pitch to let in a second run and Bill Freeh an brought home the third with a sacrifice fly.

Jim Fregosi's two-run single 'in the eighth inning climaxed a six-run explosion, that carried the California Angels past Detroit 8-6 in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday and backed the Tigers into a dark corner in the frantic American League pennant race. Detroit won the first game 5-0 on Mickey Lo-lich's three-hitter, but California's stunning comeback victory in the nightcap dropped the Tigers one-half game behind both Minnesota and Boston going into the final day of the regular season.

But the sophomore whose magic produced the victory over Utah could not overcome the Huskers. Nebraska showed its poise and heralded speed only occasionally.

The Huskers are a good team, but not a great one and coach Bob Devaney admits that. The Big Eight team showed its might often yesterday 11 of its 15 series began or ended in Minnesota territory and the Huskers' speed, mainly in the form of running backs headaches were in a season-opening vctory over Utah. The Gophers had only one sustained drive that day. The quality of competition was better yesterday, but the offense's effort was almost totally futile. Minnesota entered Nebraska's side of the field only three times.

Its only serious thrust through the Husker resistance ended when Bob Stein's field goal attempt in the second quarter veered to the left. Minnesota's net yardage rushing was an anemic three Gopher coach Murray Warmath stayed with jun LAFAYETTE, Ind. Two great football teams played catch-up football before 62,179 fans in Ross-Ade Stadium Saturday. The result was a well-earned victory for Purdue's Boilermakers, 28-21. was a war between two tremendous lines.

Neither could be penetrated. Both sides soon learned that ground attacks were futile and went to the air. Such air warfare has seldom been seen in a game between teams proud of their power; but the bombardment from both sides was met by versatile defenses from both sides. It got down, in the end, to a match of skill and wits between two quarterbacks, Notre Dame's famed Terry Hanratty, who threw 63 passes, and Purdue's calm, No. 4 UCLA Gallops to 51 -23 Win SPOKANE, Wash.

iP) Fourth-ranked UCLA battered Washington State 51-23 in a Pacific-8 football game Saturday. WSU jolted the UCLA by scoring after the first 11 plays of. the game but failed to come to life again until the fourth quarter when the Cougars scored 16 points against Bruin reserves. A crowd of 24,200 watched as quarterback Gary Beban directed the Bruins to two first-quarter scores, one on a 49-yard pass play to end Dave Nut tall. Greg Jones scored in the first and third quarters on plunges of three and nine yards and Beban scored in the third on a one-yard sneak.

Nobody claims the elimination of these two occurences and other similar misfortunes would have reversed the 39-3 score. But it might have given the Vikings the feeling they were not playing under some sort of a bad sign. This week, however, the Vikings have had a spirited and jovial week of practice. Their morale has been excellent, and Grant is hoping that the end of their ill luck is near.

He chose to go down with the ball or throw it safely out of anyone's reach when receivers were not open. He did not pass into a single interception, whereas Purdue's alert defense intercepted four of Han-ratty's passes and that created the margin of victory.

Boilermaker coach Jack Mollenkopf lauded his defensive line and team determination after the battle, when he labeled the victory "awfully sweet." Purdue scored from the Purdue Continued on Page Two the helmet of a man on the ground for one interception. "That's why football is so exasperating and so entertaining." Right now football must be somewhat exasperating for Grant. His Vikings rank 0-2 in the National Football League going into today's 1:30 p.m. game against Chicago at Metropolitan Stadium.

The Green Bay quarterback had only three passes intercepted in 1966; this year, in two games, he has had nine picked off. The Vikings are operating in about the same kind bad fortune.
