MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1973 PAGE 16 Dukes win, 3-0 Miscues undo Toros By REGIS McAULEY Citizen sportswriter Next time one of the Tucson Toros' ball players yells, "I've got it," he'd better add, "positively." In the most frustrating finish the Toros have had in a ball game this year, the Albuquerque Dukes beat them 3-0 last night at Hi Corbett Field with the help of two balls that should have been caught and another that fell in among three fielders who couldn't quite reach it. Manager Sherm Lollar was furious after the game. "This was strictly Triple A baseball he said. "When a fielder yells that he's got it, that should be it. But on that ball that was popped up in the infield to Ramon Webster, Phil Garner should not have been near the play.

It's the catcher's job to call out the name of the man who is going ike the pop-up and I heard Tim Hosley yelling 'Webster' all the; way over in the dugout Everybody in the park could hear him. "And on the ball that Rich Chiles should have caught in center field, he didn't chase off Galen Pitts, who was running out from the infield. Chiles should have kept yelling and kept coming," Lollar fumed. Chiles did keep coming, but Pitts took him out of the play with a rolling block as he, too, tried to reach the ball. It fell between them for a base hit.

Here was the situation: Randy had pitched a shutout going into the ninth inning. Twice he got out of trouble-after Albuquerque had filled the bases and another time he retired three men in a row after the first two batters had reached second and third with no outs. But in that horrendous ninth Ray Powell lifted a pop fly down the first base line that Webster started come in for. It should have been a routine out. But Garner, streaking across the diamond from third, collided with Webster and the ball dropped between them for a hit.

As if it weren't hard enough for centers, guards and tackles in the pit, the rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association has made their task more difficult.

Starting this season, officials around the Western Athletic Conference and other conferences will begin more a stringent interpretation of the rules governing illegal use of hands. In the past, linemen could get away with using hands as weapons against rushing defenders. Now, they must play it close to the vest. To the Wildcats, it means adjustment upon adjustment. "We're pretty inexperienced in our front line," said UA interior, line coach Bill Belknap.

"In fact, of our five interior men, only the tackles (Jim O'Connor and Bill Irwin) are experienced. Bob Windisch moved from guard to center, Jay Bledsoe from center to guard, and Allyn Haynes from tackle to guard. We've got Tom Sather at center, but all the other back-up, men are young." Bledsoe (6-foot-3, 218-pound junior) was set at guard during spring practice, but the moves of Windisch and Haynes were late developments. After Bob Toon decided he would not return to the team, head coach Jim Young and his staff put Windisch at center and gave Haynes a shot at a first-team spot. "Allyn's got a great attitude right now and he's working hard to make the change," Belknap said.

"Moving Allyn to guard when we switched Windisch was the logical move to make. He's a junior now, and a good offensive lineman. He's had playing experience, too. He played almost a half against New Mexico last year when O'Connor got hurt. He weighs about 235, and he's 6-4, so he's a big kid.

You might say that if you were looking Vosberg puts Cactus into World Series Special to ibe Citizen SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. Eddie Vosberg turned the' dream of the Cactus Little League All-Stars into reality Saturday night. Vosberg, a lefthanded pitcher, fired a two-hitter and drove in the game's only run as the Tucson team squeaked past Concord, 1-0, Saturday night for the Western Regional championship and a berth in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. "This was our most exciting game of the tournament and obviously our most crucial," said Cactus coach Ralph Lanik. didn't hit quite as well as we had earlier in the tournament, but Concord had a pretty fair pitcher, too." Vosberg struck out 12 batters and yielded just one walk.

It was his second two-hitter of the regional tourney. He also tossed a no-hitter in the state tournament. "Eddie looked real good. He had a good breaking pitch and his fast ball was lively," Lanik said. "He got into trouble a couple of times when we made an error and then they'd come up with a hit.

In fact, they had two runners on base once with no outs, but Ed got us out of it." Cactus pushed its run across in the first inn ing. Tony Bravo and Mike Fimbres drew bases on balls and Mike Martinez singled to load the bases before Vosberg cracked a single, scoring Bravo. Vosberg wound up the evening with three singles in three trips to the plate. Cactus, which has racked up 10 victories without a loss beginning with the district playoffs, takes on Albany, N.Y., Wednesday at II a.m. Tucson time.

Eight teams, four from the U.S. and one each from Taiwan, Europe, Canada and Mexico, are competing in the tournament. The first game is Tuesday with Taiwan meeting Germany. Canada takes on Tampa, in the second game tomorrow. After the Tucson-Albany game Wednesday, Monterrey, Mexico, plays Birmingham, Mich.

Haynes, a graduate of Sal- pointe High, played tight end and was onhthe defensive line in high school.

He'll be looking forward to playing Air Force in the Homecoming game Nov. 17. Jerry Davitch, his high school coach, is now an offensive line coach at Air Force, and former teammate Ray Wild is a defensive back. Moving to guard, Haynes found new things to learn and concentrate on. "I'd say that the mental part may be harder than the physical part because you have to think of what you're doing and then make your body do it," said Belknap.

"Our first day of practice Allyn acted like he wasn't sure of everything, but he's coming along better now. Of course, we just put on the pads yesterday and we're only half way through our two-a-days. "The line is going to come around, though," Belknap said. "I think linemen are always behind the other people. If you're a receiver, you know that you can use your hands to catch the ball.

The quarterback can use his hands to throw the ball. Every defensive man can use his hands against the offensive man. But the offensive linemen can't do that They're handicapped from the beginning." CAMP NOTES Christ Eddy, who was trying a comeback after nearly losing a hand in an automobile accident, quit the squad and left camp yesterday. Eddy had moved to second string at flanker. Soph Keith Hartwig of Fresno, and Johnny Williams, a soph who played at Palo Verde High, move to second and third teams, respectively Halfback Dave Randolph suffered a head injury and was sent to Tucson for Xrays.

Dick Young of New York has an amendment before the rules committee that it has not acted upon that would make this play a "team error" instead of the unde- sewed hit that it is. "That's a bad rule," Lollar said. "Not so much for not charging an error to somebody as it is for giving a hit to On the very next play Steve Huntz, batting for Bob Cummings, popped one high into short center field. Chiles came dashing in yelling "I've got it," but Pitts collided with him and again the ball fell between them for a hit. The next hit was also a popup to right field by Rick Auerbach and it was-chased by Webster, Pitts and Jay Johnstone, but it dropped among them for a single.

That filled the bases. That was all for the luckless Scarberry, who had pitched his way out of jams three times during the game. Gary WaslewsJd replaced him and Wayne Burney greeted him with a legitimate single that brought home two TOROS ATTENDANCE Last night (K dates) 1973 ((2 dates) 215,894 runs. Jim Fairey tagged him for another run on his single and that was the ball game. Greg Shanahan handcuffed the Toros on eight scattered hits and was helped by a pair of doubleplays.

It was an odd game in the doubleplay department when both John Summers and Chiles threw out men at first after making catches in the outfield and the Dukes' Cummings did the same thing to make a total of three double- plays via the outfield. Tonight Glenn Abbott will pitch for the Toros against Jeff Zahn. The Toros slipped back another notch in the Eastern Division of the Pacific Coast League race and now lead Salt Lake City by only games with seven big ones against Salt Lake coming up, starting Wednesday at Salt Lake City. The Toros beat Albuquerque Saturday night, 6-2. But Salt Lake won a doubleheader Saturday and another game last night against Phoenix.

Excuses more numerous than medals at Moscow MOSCOW (AP) Americans had as many excuses as me Russians had medals today for the abysmal showing of the U.S. team at the World University Games. Yankee chins as well as pride were drooping all the way down to their soggy sweatsocks. "We had to peak too early this is burn out time for most of us," complained Roger George, decathlon ace from Burrel, and Fresno State College. "I don't think some of the guys and girls, too have taken the games seriously enough," said pole vaulter Terry Porter of Fort Worth, a Kansas University student who managed to win one of Uncle Sam's scarce (bronze) medals.

"It's been a long season for us and we're tired," added muscular Dana Laduc of Tacoma, shot putter from the Uni- Hnbbard thankful for his protection SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) Run for daylight, that pro football axiom for running backs, is secondary in the mind of Marv Hubbard. "Run behind the protection. You'll last longer," says the sturdy Oakland Raiders fullback who gained a club record 1,100 yards last season. "In my first year, a lot of people were saying I'd get hurt a lot, that I run recklessly.

But it just looks that way," he added in a training interview. When tacklers reach! Hubbard, he gives them the top of his body, plus an armful equipment to bring down. The 225-pound runner fipres, that in uniform, he may be the National Football League's heaviest running back. "Most of your backs wear between seven and 10 pounds of equipment thin little shoulder pads, maybe a thin pair of hi pads, some light pads and the lightest pair of low-cut shoes they can find. "I wear 24 pounds of equipment.

I use heavy shoulder pads, like the linemen wear. I wear heavy elbow pads, rib pads, hip pads, thigh pads and knee pads. And my shoes are a pair of high-topped clodhoppers. "Last season, I broke four helmets and two sets of shoulder pads," says the well- protected Hubbard. The 27-year-old fullback, who put in a season of minor league football between his college days at Colgate and his first year with Oakland, has never had a knee injury.

"None of us is at his best, but the Russians and Europeans are just peaking for their seasons." Coaches and athletes alike lounged around the living quarters at the medieval Moscow State University dormitory and sought answers for the collapse of Uncle Sam's track and field forces in another of their confrontations with the Soviet Union on an international stage. Through the first four days of competition in track and field, the Russians won 11 gold medals, six silver and three bronze while the United States' collection was limited to one silver, by Kathy Schmidt of Long Beach College, Calif, in the women's javelin, and Porter's bronze in the pole vault. Over-all, the Russians had 36 golds, 15 silvers and 17 bronze.

The United States had a single silver and four bronze, including three yesterday in Greco-Roman wrestling. "We felt we were bringing a strong, representative team," said Berle Nichols, a representative of the President's Council on Physical Fitness. "Naturally, we are quite disappointed. "I believe it is a case of the European and other countries being more committed to these college games than we are" "I agree," said Ross Merrick of Washington, D.C., a consultant for the government's physical education and athletics department. "We brought some 325 athletes here and we proably won't win as many medals as we did in 1965 when we had a token team of less than 50." "The lak of harmony in our sports administration back home is not doing us anygood either," added Jesse Hawthorne, another U.S.

official, raising the ghost of the old AAU-NCAA war. The conflict with other evnts didn't do this team any good." The reference was to exhaustive track tours undertaken by US. athletes prior to these games, including sweeps through Europe, Russia and even Canada; "When you're on the road that long, you don't want to go home and come back again" said Hawthorne. Such U.S. Olympic stars as gold medalists Frank Shorter and Dave Wottle and miler Marty Liquori passed up the trip.

Team administrators were reluctant to delve into personalities, but admitted they were aare that a few of the athletes were "dogging it." "I know a couple I would like to have an explanation from," said Merrick. "They didn't show us much effort and two of the women runners just loafed at the finish line. I'd rather not name names. Head track coach Joe Vigil of Adams State College said he had experienced no racial problems with his mixed team or encountered any dissension.
