So far this season, the unbeaten Camara has broken ETHAN ALLEN BOWLING CENTER Ithmt Alton Snapping Confer North Burlington Win destiny determine that the abelou New York Mets continue Ik dtab to the moo. when the IKS Wortd Series gets uder waySatorday? Or, will the Baltimore Orioles, considered the best team ii toxWl destroy the magie of the Men and sweep to the INI championship? These are questions which hang heavily on the minds of baseball fani all over the country. We asked coaches, fans and members of the area news media how they picked the series, how many games it would go and why they picked the team they did.

From the answers which follow yon will be able to judge quite easily that the Mets are the sentimental favorites and are given an edge over the Orioles. DOUG HOLMQUIST, UVM baseball coach: "First of all let me say tie team I usually pick loses. Last year I picked the Cards to win in four straight This year, I like the Mets. They have a great defense, the club is strong up the middle where it counts and theyhave an outstanding centerfielder in Tommy Agee. Eight-five per cent of the game ison themound, whre the Mets are strong.

I've got to go with those four strong arms. They also possess bullpen strength. and they have been hitting. My choice is the Mets in 6." DICK TERRHSN, sports director WJOY: "The Mets are a team of destiny. I see the Mets winning in six or seven games, although I am sorried about their first line hurling which got rapped pretty hard against the Braves.

I figure the Mets will win it if they cat gain a split in the first two games at Baltimore. No one will win the series in four or five games." JIM CROSS, UVM hockey coach: "I'm going with the Mets in seven. They have momentum, they finished strong, have enthusiasm like I have never seen before. I can still see members of their bullpen waving at a home run ball off a Met bat headed toward their area. Baltimore had the old veterans, but the Mets haven't been able to do anything wrong and their hitting is the best it's ever been.

I'm an American League fan but want the Mets to win. You just can't help but like them. I see the Mets in seven games." TONY ADAMS, sports director, WCAX "Sentimentally I hope it's the Mets. It's one. of a success story.

I feel the Mets can do it although I am not selling the Orioles short It will go 6 or 7 games. Maybe I'm picking with my heart and not my head. BILL DAME, The Burlington Free Press: "I have been an Oriole fan since the Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954. That year Junior Stevens led the team with 8 home runs and 44 RBI's. I see the Birds in five and they have everything." JULES BRULATOUR, Vermont Sunday News:" I see the Mets in six games because of their momentum.

They are very strong now, they are young and don't know what the word quit means. You would think these young kids would be shaken by Baltimore, but they are not They also proved they can hit with 27 runs in three games against the Braves." TOM CHEEK, sports director, WVMT: "It would be nice to have the Mets win it, but I don't mink so. I go with the Orioles in seven games. I feel the Mets have little bit of everything while the Orioles have a whole lot of everything. The Birds' pitching will match that of the Mets.

Sometimes I really can't give a reason why I pick one team over the other. Maybe it's because I nsuaDy pick with my heart" WALLY JOHNSON, The Burlington Free Press: "IH go with the Mets in five. New York has the pitching, and they bad some outstanding hitting against the Braves. Their fast and furious finish leaves them primed for the series, a little more so than the Orioles. STEVE REITER, WDOT sports director: "The Mets in five, because of Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman.

If you had told me a week ago the Braves were going to get six hits off Seaver and five off Koosman I would have laughed. Now the Mets are loose and have confidence and if they take two at Baltimore, watch out." JOHN MUGSY MOYNIHAN, WVNY-TV sports director: "The Orioles will take it in six games because of their better balance, better bitting and experience." GEORGE GOLDFUNG WJOY sports" Although I would like to see the Mets take it all, I feel the Orioles will wrap it up in six. Baltimore players have felt the pressure of a world series before and this could tell the ED DONNELLY, UVM athletic director: "Baltimore has blown two to New Year teams the past year (super Bowl and NBA playoffs) and it will blow a third in the series. I see the Mets in five games." DICK WBTTTIER, UVM sports information director: "The Birds in six. The hearts of the fans are with the Mets but Baltimore has the best team in the majors, man-for-man.

They have a fine double play combination and defensively are as sound as any club. I feel their pitching is on a par with the Mets and they have more home run and consistent power. However, destiny may be on the side of the Mets." ED MARKEY, St. Michael's AD and basketball coacV'Tm a national league fan so I've got to go with the Mets. Besides any team which beats out the Dodgers has got to be the best in the world.

(Ed is an old Brooklyn Dodger fan). The Mets will win in seven. Maury Wills once said when you've finished a National League season you're ready for anything. I agree." GEORGE THABAULT, sports writer, The Burlington Free Press: "I only wish I could be picking the Atlanta Braves to win this Series, but as it stands now, I have to go with, the New York Mets. I'm a National League fan from way back, but more importantly, I'm a Braves fan.

Any club that gets by the likes of Aaron, Carty, Gonzales, Millan and crew has what it takes. The Mets have it They'll win in six." MAL BORIGHT, faulty forecaster, The Burlington Free Press: "I see the Orioles in six games, which is probably the best news the Mets have had. O's have pitching to equal that of the Mets. Also Baltimore has more depth to its staff plus the backing of one of the top attacks in baseball."

(AP) -The Pittsfield Red Sox of the Eastern Baseball League will move its operation to Pawtucket next season, the Providence Bulletin said Tuesday. Joel Buzas, owner of the farm club of the Boston Red Sox, and Pat McKernan, club vice president and general manager, met at McCoy Stadium Tuesday with Mayor Robert F. Burns and others, the paper reported. Buzas said the facilities at the Pawtucket Stadium are excellent and the field is as good as that in a triple A ball park. "I'm enthused about the conditions," be was quoted as saying.

The club played in Pawtucket on two occasions this season. The first game, a pony night attraction July 17, drew an overflow crowd of some 6,300 fans. A regular season double header in August attracted 4,300. Pawtucket's previous Eastern League club, affiliated with the Cleveland Indians, moved to Waterbury, in 1968 in a dispute over financial 11-9, Beauts 11-9, Wildcats 11-9, C's 10-10, Late Four 9-11, Jetrays 8-12, Banditos 5-15.

So, hearing so much that I could do it, I began to believe it could be done. "I knew after a while I could do it once given a chance." That chance did not present itself even once last season as the Raiders did not use Dickey at quarterback in a game, although he did practice with the team's other quarterbacks Da-ryle Lamonica and Cotton Davidson. And Dickey admittedly is impatient to get on with his pioneering, despite the fact that most teams bring quarterbacks along slowly because history has shown it usually takes about three to five years at minimum to cope with the position. "That four-five year business is gone those days are gone," Dickey says. "Coaching today is three times better than it used to be.

Coaches teach faster. The guy coming out of college now doesn't have to become a quarterbackhe is a quarterback. points out. "CampaneUa when he was playing with the Dodgers played because he loved the game. Robinson also loved the game but he had another design, too to beat down the stereotype." How does Dickey feel about his role? "Pioneer that's the word for it," Dickey says.

"Someone has to do it first so people will believe in it. Several years ago John Kennedy said we should go to the moon. When he said it not everybody believed it was possible. Now everybody believes we can go to the moon. But somebody had to do it first." The idea of cracking the quarterback barrier in pro football came to Dickey only after he began to receive acclaim for his exploits following his freshman at Tennessee State.

"The thought was passed on to me by my coaches in high school," Dickey says, "but it didn't ring a bell. Four-five years later the bell rang.

PIZZA i -mi i added up to: Willie Thrower, who attempted eight passes for the Chicago Bears in 1953. Before and after Thrower, black players who were quarterbacks in college had arrived on the pro football scene.

But they didn't play quarterback. They were running backs. They were flanker backs. They were linemen. But they weren't quarterbacks.

Then last year, because of a series of injuries that deprived them of their regular quarterbacks, the Denver Broncos pressed into service Marlin Briscoe, a rookie from Omaha who became the first black athlete to quarterback a pro club on a regular basis. Briscoe, however, has departed the scene of his triumph following a contract dispute, leaving the field of challenge to Eld-ridge Dickey, a second-year man with the Oakland Raiders, and rookie Jimmie Harris of the Buffalo Bills. Dickey, 23, is 6 feet 2 and weighs 198 pounds. He came out of Tennessee State after a four-year college career in which he passed for 6,641 yards and 74 touchdowns. He was the Raiders' No.

1 draft choice in 1968, but last year was used as a receiver. Harris. 22, is 6 feet 3 and 215 pounds. He played at Gram-bling, a predominantly Negro school in Louisiana which has sent just as many athletes into the pro ranks in recent years as universities such as Michigan State and Notre Dame. Of the two, Dickey is more conscious and more outspoken of his role in relation to today's society.

And Dodson, drawing on his familiarity with baseball, senses a distinction between Dickey and Harris that he saw between Robinson and Roy CampaneUa, the Brooklyn Dodgers' great Negro catcher. "One's got a dose of militan NEW YORK (AP)-The dimensions of a football field are only 160 feet by 360 feet, but the battles being fought there by Negro players, particularly quarterbacks, reflect in miniature much of the scope of black America's aspirations in the United States. "Sports and exhibitionistic professions such as show business have been used in this country for years by minority groups to come into the mainstream of American life," says Prof. Dan D. Dodson, New York University sociologist "What is new today is the feeling on the part of the Negro leadership that they are going to come into the mainstream not in the stereotyped jobs but in the jobs that require intelligence.

"The black players in professional football in the past have held the beef and brawn jobs, like being linemen, and now they want to demonstrate intelligence and nimbleness. And, they are doing it in the name of race." Dodson's interest in sports as a vista through which to view race relations goes back some 25 years to when he was an advisor to Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers who was readying Jackie Robinson for an assault on baseball's color line. Now Dodson is viewing with intense interest the battle being waged on those 160 feet by 360 feet of green grass and white stripes by black athletes seeking another breakthrough by becoming professional football quarterbacks. "To some Negroes," states Dodson, "it has become a symbol for them to have a quarterback of consequence." Until the 1968 season began, 48 years of organized professional footbaD had come and gone and when all the Negro quarterbacks had been totaled it 147, Mary Crowley 144.
