One-Up Birds Come Back With Gib Brushback OK, Purpose Pitch Is Nol-Williams Briles Sharp For 5-2 Win Sox Ready for War When Yaz Hits the Dust St. Louis (iP) Nelson Briles, Mike Shannon and Lou Brock combined to lead St. Louis to a 5-2 victory over Boston yesterday in the third game of the World Series, he inquired of Frank Umont, the American League umpire behind the plate. "What do you mean by that?" Umont snapped. "It's my opinon that he (Briles) deliberately threw at him," Williams went on.

"I'll handle it," said Umont, who then summoned Red Schoendienst, the St. Louis manager from the Cardinals' dugout. "I've been reading in the paper how (Jim) Lonborg brushed back our hitters," declared the St. Louis skipper. "There's a lotta difference between a brushback pitch and a deliberate pitch to hit a man," countered Williams, an interested listener to the conference between Umont and Schoendienst.

"A brushback pilch Is part of baseball," the lied Sox manager said following his team's 5-2 loss at the hands of Briles. "Hitting someone deliberately with a pitch is not." Briles burned when he heard Williams' charge. "It was a fast ball and it just got away," Briles said. (Continued on Page 4 E) By Press Wire Services St. Louis The first bad blood of the World Series popped to the surface yesterday when Boston manager Dick Williams openly accused Nelson Briles of "deliber-, ately throwing" at Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski.

Whether it was deliberate or not, Briles pinked the Boston leftfielder on the back of his left calf his first time up in the first inning and that brought Williams out of the dugout on the double. "Are we going to have a knockdown battle or what?" enlivened by a knockdown rhubard involving lied Sox star Carl Yastrzemski. The triumph enabled the Cards to take a 2-1 lead in games in the best-of-7 classic. Briles, making his Series debut, pitched a 7-hitter. Shannon walloped a 2-run homer and Brock scored two runs after collecting a triple and a single.

FOX Press Sports Editor Hamilton Cornell's half-time lead yesterday was 3-0, same as the St. Louis Cardinals, but unlike Nellie Briles, the Big Red's Bill Robertson had just begun to pitch.

The big quarterback from Oregon, 0-for-6 for most of the first half stalemate, came out throwing in the second half and propelled Cornell to an easy 23-7 victory over disappointing Colgate team for which it already has been "The long season" instead of a happy 89th birthday present for Colgate football-professor emeritus Andy Kerr. Disenchantment in the crowd of 13,859 was so strong that in the late stages a banner was hung from the scoreboard of Kerr Stadium: "For Sale, One Stadium (Slightly Used)." The Colgate turf hadn't been so worn down by a Cornell team since 1951, the year before current coach Hal La-har's arrival. The turnabout in Lahar's fortunes after a 1966 season that missed by only three points being 10-0 is now so complete that he is 0-3 with Holy Cross and Princeton looming ominously the next two weeks.

The Californians, whose of fense had averaged 37 points per game previously, were un Lahar, found beating Colgate no different than beating Bucknell in last weekend's Big Red opener. It was a duplicate 23-7 score. Split end Bill Murphy and halfback Jim Heeps again scored touchdowns, Pete Zogby again kicked a field goal and two conversions and the only statistical change was that the other TD was by halfback Bill Huling instead of by Robertson. And just as Bucknell averted a shutout only by a late score against Cornell rinky-dinks, Colgate's only score was an 88-yard sprint by quarterback Ron Burton with less than four minutes to play.

Until Robertson's second-half aerializing, Colgate had dominated the first half threatening, despite the Big Red leading on Zogby's early field goal from the 16 after linebacker Rick Newton had grabbed captain Don Moora-dian's fumbled handoff at the 15. Cornell thereafter stopped one drive that achieved a first down on the 2, another drive that reached the 19 and a third that ended with an interception at the 4 by aggressive Dan Walker. The first of these, however, was the only real sustained drive Colgate achieved. Big Marvin Hubbard and swift sophomore Alvin Pearman pounded big gains over defensive right end Bob Pegan and tackle Dick Heath until reaching the 2. Princeton scouts, whose team goes to Ithaca next week, didn't feel Cornell linebacker Doug Klieber played up to his usual excellence, but in this crisis he edged into the line and twice stopped Hubbard for no gain and thereby (Continued on Page 6 E) INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Colgate rushing: Burton 14-123, Hubbard 12-59, Pearman 10-37, Coupe 1-2, Mooradian 1-0, Robertson 6-1.
