Yanks Sew Up American Loop Flag, National Undecided NEW YORK (AP)-The New York Yankees clinched their 29th American League pennant Saturday with a dramatic victory over Cleveland, but the National League race goes into a fantastic final-day scramble among three teams after another triumph by New York's lowly Mets over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Yanks erupted for five runs in the eighth inning for an 8-S rout of the Indians, giving Yogi Berra his first pennant as manager. It's the fifth straight for the Yankees under three different managers Casey Stengel, Ralph Houk and Berra. Meanwhile, at St.

Louis, Stengel's 1 a 1 a Mets knocked oft the front-running Cards for the second game in a row this time by an amazing 15-5 score. That dumped the Cards into a first-place tie with the Cincinnati Reds, who were idle along with the other remaining contender, the Philadelphia Phillies. Philadelphia is one game behind the co-leaders. San Francisco's Giants failed in their try to make it a four-way battle going into the final day when they were eliminated by the Chicago Cubs. 10-7.

Thus in Sunday's close-out it will be the Cards vs. the Mets at St. Louis and the Phils vs. the Reds at Cincinnati. Should the Mets and Phils win, it will force the first three-way pennant playoff in baseball history.

It would be a round-robin affair going a minimum of four games and a maximum of five, with two losses needed to eliminate a team. The other possibilities are: 1. If the Cards and Reds win, they'll have a best-of-three playoff starting Monday in Cincinnati: 2. If the Cards win and the Reds lose, St Louis will have its first pennant since 1946. If the Reds win and the Cards lose, Cincinnati wins its first pennant since 1961.

Cleveland drew even with the Yankees at 3-3 with two runs in the sixth inning and it stayed that way until the bottom of the eighth. Then Clete Boyer singled with one out, Phil Linz singled with two out. and Bobby Richardson sent acorss the go-ahead run with another single. A bases-loaded walk to Mickey Howard and Joe Pepitone delivered four more runs. That rally killed the last hope of the Chicago Wh i Sox, who were eliminated despite a 7-0 shutout over Kansas City.

The pennant clinching was especially satisfying to Berra and the Yankees this year. They were all but counted out a few short weeks ago when they trailed both Baltimore and Chicago and appeared unable to find their stride. Minnesota rookie Tony Oli-va virtually clinched the American League batting title Saturday as the Twins edged the Los Angeles Angels 5-3. Oliva doubled home a run in the seventh, giving him l-for-3 on the day and an average of .323 with one game left. His closest competitor, Baltimore's Brooks Robinson, closed out the season Saturday at .317.

The Baltimore Orioles, already eliminated from the American League pennant race, nipped Detroit 7-6 Saturday on a bases-loaded walk to Sam Bowens in the 10th inning. The game was the last of the season for the teams. Luis Aparicio singled with one out in the 10th, went to second on a wild pitch by Fred Gladding and advanced to third on an infield out. Gladding walked Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson intentionally loading the bases, before he walked Bowens on a 3-2 pitch, forcing in Aparicio with the winning run. Boston's Dick Stuart collected five hits in five times at bat as Bill Monbouquette pitched his fourth straight shutout over Washington in the Red Sox' 7-0 victory.

Ed Bailey drove home three runs with a first-inning triple and a third-inning single to lead the Milwaukee Braves and rookie righthander Arnie Umbach to an 11-5 victory over Pittsburgh Saturday. Sunday, Oct. 4, 1964 SECTjON State's Defense Stops Explosive USC9 17 to 7 ning game which had knocked over Colorado and Oklahoma earlier this season. Coach Johnny McKay's west coasters penetrated the defense for one tally in the third period but only after State had effectively used the "toe" and a drive of its own to put ten points on the By BOB HOERNER Journal Sports Editor One of Duffy Daugherty's pet comments about football is that you win games with a solid defense, including a good kicking game. His Michigan Stale team proved the point Saturday.

Keeping a dangerous South ern Cal team offstride just enough to allow only one sustained touchdown drive and effectively using the punt and placekick as offensive weapons. State upset the second-ranked Trojans, 17 to 7, before 70.104 fans at Spartan Stadium. State's fired up Spartans were outdistanced in almost every department in the sta tistic chart, but not in hustle as trite as the expression may sound, and marked up their first victory of the season against one defeat. State came up with a defensive pattern that had- five backs and only one tackle designed to stop the Trojans' strong passing attack and at least contain its powerful run- 7i mum' FIRST TOUCHDOWN Despite a wall of determined Trojans, Spartan halfback Clinton Jones (26) dove through for State's first touchdown Saturday. The Spartans worked 10 plays to carry the ball 46 yards for the score.

Captain Charlie Migyanka, who had the difficult assignment of stopping Southern Cal's outstanding Mike Garrett, Don Japinga and Jim Summers, the smallest players on the field, Lou Bobich and Herman Johnson formed the defensive "backfield. All were outstanding. Next, go right down the line sophomore George Bubba Smith another soph, Don Bierowicz, Ed Macuga, Steve Mellinger, Buddy Owens, Hal Lucas, Bob Viney, and Ron Goovert, who played on a gimpy leg they did the defensive job.

Putting it mildly. State was never out of serious trouble even after it scored its second touchdown midway in the fourth quarter and regained its 10-point advantage. Southern Cal, one of the most explosive teams to hit Spartan Stadium in several years, kept threatening and the partisan crowd couldn't relax until State took over on the ten with only two minutes to play. Dick Kenney, the barefoot kicker from Hawaii, started the upset ball sailing when he booted a 49-yard field goal midway in the first period. It was a record kick for a Spartan in his first attempt.

The previous longest field goal was 47 yards by Earl Lattimer against Northwestern last year. The three points held up through the first half and then the "toe" helped the Spartans again. Lou Bobich. the soccer-style kicker, opened the second half with a kickoff deep into the end zone. The Trojans, possibly over anxious to get their offense clicking, attempted to run the ball out and were nailed by sophomore George Webster on the four-yard line.

State's defense held firmly and forced a punt, which did not quite make the midfield strip. Thus, the long kickoff resulted in good field position for the Spartans. Starting on the Trojans' 45, State's offense ran up three first downs and a touchdown from the two by Clinton Jones. Bobich added the point and State was ahead, 10-0. Southern Cal didn't quit.

It took the Trojans only 11 plays to go 80 yards to match State's seven points and the Spartans lead was cut to Ken-ney's three points, 10-7. This is the only time State's defense could not completely contain the Trojans. There was still one more important role for State's kicking game and defense. Midway in the fourth period.

Duffy Daughterly was bubbling over after the 17-7 upset of Southern Cal Saturday. "Southern Cal is a dangerous team on the ground or in the air. They made 370 yards passing last week and have a great trio of runners in Mike Garrett (Ron) Heller and (Rod) Sherman. "Besides this, they have great receivers and everyone on the team is fast real fast.

To cope with this situation, we devised a defense with five backs and only one tackle, and then asked an awful lot of our captain, Charlie Migyanka. "Charlie is our rover but was assigned to stop Garrett. If Garrett went in motion, Charlie went with him. If Garrett was not in motion, Migyanka played his regular role as a rover and broke through where he thought the play was going. "We thought, because Southern Cal knew what a fine defensive player Migyanka is, that they probably would send Garrett in motion just to get Charlie out of the play.

So, we made (Lou) Bobich a rover on defense, too. When we did that, we lost one of our pass defenders so we brought in Jimmy Summers at a halfback to fill in for Bobich. "Sometimes we had two rovers Migyanka and Bobich and then Migyanka would have to fill in for the tackle we had taken out." The Spartan team presented the game ball to the captain after the victory. Southern Cal coach John McKay concurred when he commented, "I suppose the line play was about even unless you count Migyanka. If he was a lineman it was hard to tell because he was all over the place they beat us on the line."

Cecchini gave Michigan an .000 .000 helped hold Navy backs to only 87 yards on the ground. The first downs were fairly even. 20 to 18 for Navy, but Michigan ran up 272 a rushing to Navy's 87.

In the air Navy completed 17 of 35 for 181 yards against Michigan's 8 of 14 for 121. Both teams intercepted three passes, at critical times, and Michigan recovered three Navy fumbles, one leading to a touchdown and the other two stopping scoring threats.

He returned three times, once for 25 yards from the 11 to the 36. He also had State's only interception, returning it 25 yards to midfield. State didn't use its spread formation as much as last week at Chapel Hill. After taking an early 3-0 lead, the Spartans were happy to stay on the ground most of the time and try to control the ball. Most of State's runs were inside of the tackle.

"We felt we couldn't run wide against them," Duffy said, "so we decided to go inside and try to control the ball. This, I believe, we did. Both (Dick) Gordon and (Clinton) Jones gave us good, hard running." Gordon was the workhorse with 18 carries for 60 yards. The first time State had the ball, Gordon was called on six straight times. He gained yardage everytime, making 2, 8, 9, 2, 1 and 3.

On the next play, barefoot Dick Kenney booted a 49-yard field goal.

Saturday he was back at the Middie helm, with a near-veteran club around him. But this time the Wolverines were ready for him. A charging forward wall held him to a minus three yards rushing while an alert secondary kept him from throwing a scoring pass, although he did complete 16 of 30. mostly for short yardage. Michigan scored early in the game when sophomore halfback Carl Ward managed two yards to climax a 66-yard drive.

Then, with the crowd of 70.608 sitting in bright sunshine but shivering as Staubach filled the air with passes. Ward made it safe with a four-yard drive in the third period. Another sophomore, Dave Fisher, reserve fullback, put the frosting on the cake with a fourth-period touchdown. The victory was Michigan's second straight of the youthful season and set the stage for an all-out tussle at East Lansing next Saturday against Michigan State when the Spartans and Wolverines open their Big Ten campaign. It also evened the all-time series with the Middies, which now stands at 4-4 and one tie.

Michigan's elation over subduing Staubach, the Heisman trophy winner of 1963, and his mates was tempered somewhat by the fact that the Navy star was hampered by an injured ankle. But the bruising charges of John Yanz and Bill Yearby, along with Arnie Simkus, and the alert secondary work of Tom Cecchini, bothered him more than the injured ankle. Yearby and Yanz repeatedly hurried his throwing while hard tackling forced three Navy fumbles with Cecchini falling on two of them and intercepting one pan. Yearby also intercepted a pass while Rich Hahn and Jim Conley Eaatarn Hiinoit 17, Cantral Michigan 1' couldn't help but think about last year's game with the Trojans. In that game.

State lead 3-0 on a first-period fieldgoal (just as it did Saturday) and scored a touchdown in the third quarter to take a 10-0 lead (again, just as it did Saturday). Then Garrett scored for Southern Cal (just as he did Saturday). Here's where the pattern changes. Last year the Trojans added another touchdown and earned a 13-10 victory. This year State scored the next touchdown and won, 17-7.

Duffy must have been thinking about last week, too. When Southern Cal blocked State's third-down quick-kick attempt, Duffy thought for a moment the officials were going to award the ball to the Trojans even though Steve Juday recovered for State on the four. "I headed for the lineman, but I wasn't going to run out onto the field," he said after the game. He returned to the bench when State was given its fourth down to punt the ball out of danger.
