PACK U-UNIONTOWN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1171 MORNING HCTAU) THB EVENING STANDARD Birds Take Commanding Lead With 6-5 Win SPORTS STANDARD By TOD TOENT HenlMtendard Editor MORGANTOWN, W. Your attention ii called to th following two rtttetneati. "We got tnamdout effort from both our offense an defense. I felt we executed our game plan perfectly." "It wtf a fame befcef nd ttrd dmm. llwy made theirs and we didn't.

We just didn't execute." The opening comment was by Duke University's footba coach Tom Harp, the latter by West Virginia's Bobby Bow den following the Blue Devils' 21-18 victory over the Moun taineers before a wet Homecoming crowd in excess of 39,00 here Saturday afternoon. It was just as simple as that. Duke outplayed the Wes Virginia football club most of the way and earned its tr umph. This isn't to lay that West Virginia couldn't have won the game. The Mountaineers hid their chances but couldn't come up with big play when it needed it.

Duke's defense made its most important stand in the thir quarter when it held West Virginia twice at the four yard line The score was 14-7 Duke at the time and West Virgin! bad started from its 37 and was moving. In nine plays WVU reached the Duke four with a third and one. The Mountaineers had two tries to make the yard and the sticks that would have given them another four chances to punch it acms the goal. It didn't look like they could miss. But the Devils held on a Mike Sherwood sneak and a dive by Ed Williams and regained possession.

"That was the ball game right there," Bowden admitted The West Virginia coach also said he was surprised by' Duke's strategy of running with the football. Going'into the game Duke quarterback Leo Hart, one of the national leaders in pasting had tossed 115 aerials in four preview fames, an average ef about a contest. He toned only 10 at West Virginia, but completed seven for 82 yards. He was contest to hit on the quick, short one because of the tough Mountaineer rush. Most of the time Hart would send his two sophomore running backs, Steve Jones and Bill Thompson, running OB quick bitten to the Inside.

Jones carried 22 times 98 yards, Thompson 23 for 93. Hart kept and ran 10 times and picked up some key yardage. "Theft 1 game plan wai excellent for the weather," Bowdea said. "We just didn't expect them.to try and ram' the ball down our throats. Especially not after the way we handled the Indiana running game last week." Harp said, "We felt we had to establish a running game to control the football.

We had a lot of respect for the quickness and pursuit of the West Virginia defense outside. "So we felt we had to run more Inside and use the. short It was effective. "On defense we didn't want fat give West Virginia the big play. We wanted to make them Meed for every yard they got.

I thought we got just a great defensive effort." Harp.didn't want to single out any individual stars, "it was a team victory and team effort. (senior captain and linebacker Dick Biddle from Parkersburg, W. Va.) came back home and played a great game." One of the most questionable decisions by West Virginia occurred on its next possession after being stopped on the four. The Mountaineers had moved into Duke territory again to the 30, where it was fourth and four and the count still 14-7. 'It would have been a 47 or 48 yard effort but that's not out of Jim Braxton's reach.

Instead Bob Sims punted straightaway over the end zone aid Duke got the ball at the 20 anyway. Bowden said he thought even the 10-yard difference was important in defending the move, although he said he had wanted to pin them a bit deeper in their own territory. Williams led the West Virginia running game with 99 yards. He came in to replace Pete Wood who carried 10 times for 37 yards on the first WVU series when he was injured and didn't play anymore. Braxton again went the distance at tight end.

He did carry ball twice on end arounds and racked up 14 yards rushing. The big boy from Connellsville caught two passes for 27 yards. He was the target of Sherwood aerials several other times but the Mountaineer quarterback couldn't get the ball to him. West Virginia's hopes for a high national ranking took a solid blow with this defeat. They'll have' to forget about it.

Pitt is next and the Panthers have been waiting. They have a three game winning streak going into the game. Pitt-West Virginia always stirs considerable interest. This one will be no different.

At the end of the contest Belle Vernon was in possession 64 plays for 15 Jirst downs to Laurel Highlands' 34 plays and five first downs. Coach Fred Botti didn't think his team had performed as well as they could overall. "It was DeShields, what more can you say.

He popped four big ones and that was the ball game." Belle Vernon set the tone of its game after the opening kickoff by driving 60 yards in 16 plays and eating up seven and a half minutes of the period. The biggest gamer on the drive was Dongilli's 17 yard run around left end to the Mustang 26. It was Dongilli, again going to his left, who knifed in behind his left tackle and in for the touchdown from the five yard line. He followed by running the right side for the two point conversion. Paul Smarslok brought the kickoff back from his 12 to the 30.

DeShields hit inside for six to the 36 then circled right end on his second carry, sprinted past the defense and Was home, free on his 64 yard run to the end zone. Rick Hauger's keeper around right end got the game even at Only a minute and 12 seconds elapsed between the two scores. Belle Vernon then held the ball the rest of the period. However, it bogged down on the final play of the first period and punted to open the second stanza, Mike Tighman's kick b.eing downed on the LH 21. A penalty advanced the ball to the 26.

DeShields got the handoff on first down and went through left tackle, charged out of the crowd and was off and running 74 yards. Three carries and two touchdowns. Hauger'a pass try for the extra point was incomplete. An exchange of punts-followed before LH got the ball again when BV stalled at the Mustang 27. On first down DeShields took a pitchout wide around left end turned the corner and header for the goal line as he ran 73 yards on this carry.

MACRINA One Of Sunoco'i Moil' MsxUrn Stations In Western Penno. Watch The Papers For Opening Date! By MIKE RATHKT AaMcteM fearta CINCINNATI (AP)-Catcher Elite Hendrlcki, at the center of a controversial play at home plate Saturday, doubled' to left field for what he said was the first time in his 12-year career and sent Baltimore to a 6-5 victory over Cincinnati Sunday it the second game of the Work Series. Tlie triumph, built on a five- run fifth Inning outburst capped by tie-breaking hit, gave the Orioles a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series as the teams moved on to Baltimore to continue their battle on Tuesday. "As far as I can remember," Hendricks said in the happy Orioles' dressing room, "it's the first time I've ever hit one in that place. I hit a change-up.

But I was looking for a fast ball. I can only hit the fast ball." Despite that fact, Hendricks moved the Orioles a major step closer to redemption for their ipset loss in the World Series last year to the New York Mets --and big Boog Powell said Jiat's exactly what every Baltimore player is battling for. "Deep inside of each of us we 'eel we have a score to settle," Powell said. "I think we're doing all right now. I think we're in the driver's seat.

It's a ig advantage now to go te our own park." a spindly 175- joundef, got the key hit for the Moles in a patented explosion that sent Baltimore ahead to stay in a game replete with nine itchers, 17 hits, including three lomers, and a police guard sta ioned in right field to protect umpire Ken Burkhart. The homers, were by Bobby Man and Johnny Bench of the teds and Boog Powell of the Or- oles, but none of them did as much damage as wo-run double as Baltimore sent nine men to the plate dur- ng the winning rally. Just as they did in an opening triumph the Or- oles spotted the Reds a big ead, and trailed 4-0 after three nnings. Powell's second homer of the ieries got one the fourth nning against Reds' starter Jim 'McGlothlin and then the Orioles tarted to spray hits all around Riverfront Stadium's artificial urf. With one out, Chico Salmon itarted things with a single.

Sin- lies by Don Biiford and Paul 31air brought in one run and hased McGlothlin, Cincinnati Manager Sparky Anderson.tap- tag young Milt Wilcox for re- ief duty. Wilcox, a 20-year-old right- lander with only 22 innings of work during regular season, walked to the mound to face the towerlni, 290-pound Powell. The Baltimore flrit baseman immediately singled In an. other run. Wilcox got Frank Robinson on a fly that backed right fielder Pete Rose against the wall, but didn't have as much' success with Brooki Robinson, who bounced a single into right field that sent Blair racing home with the tying run.

Hendricks strode to the plate, worked the count, to 3-2 and then drilled a pitch inside the third base line for a double, Powell lumbering home Brooks Robinson following for 'the 6-4 lead, But this game that extended the Orioles season-ending winning streak to lft-11 in the regular season, three in the playoffs and now two in the series- was far from over as Baltimore Manager Earl Weaver juggled his bullpen to stifle the Reds. When starter Mike Cuellar was pounded, Weaver went to Tom Phoebus. After Phoebus left, he called on Moe Drabowsky. Drabowsky surrendered Bench's homer in the sixth as the Reds pulled to within one run, then left in the seventh when the Reds threatened. Ty Cline, the pinch-hitting hero of two Reds' victories in the National League playoffs, opened the seventh with a single to left.

Pinch hitter Angel Bravo then sacrificed and, when Dra- bowiky walked Rose, Weaver waved to the bullpen for left- handed Mareelino Lopez to pitch to left-swinging Bobby Tolan. Tolan ran the count to 3-2 and then fouled out to third. Weaver scurried out of the dugout again, applauding Lopez' performance while calling for Dick Hall, a right-hander, to face --ing right-handed hitter Tony Perez, Hall threw one pitch to Perez and got him to tap to third for a force out on Rose at second. Hall set the Reds down in order the rest of the way, getting the jinal out when Blair raced to deepest center field to haul in a long drive by pinch hitter Jimmy The Reds, who refused to riame Saturday's loss on a disputed home plate decision by Burkhart, now face long odds in their bid to bring Cincinnati its iirst world championship hi three No team in baseball history las ever come back to win the World Series in its 67 years after losing the first two games at lome. Prior to the players from both teams still were discussing Burkhart's call in the sixth inning of the opener when he was bowled over as Bernto Carbo, kept Hendricks from retching Carbo.

The Baltimore catcher, also filling and con. fused, tagged Carbo with the glove huml while holding jfa ball In his bare hand. Burkhart, however, ruled Carbo out and the Orioles went CM to a 4-3 victory. It looked different Sunday as the Reds, who had a 3-8 record against left- handers during the regular tea- son, began tagging the southpaw Cuellar from the first inning. Rose, leading off, reached first when shortstop Mark Be- lariger bobbled his grounder for an error.

One out later, Perei grounded a single up the middle. Bench flied out but Lee May, the big first baseman who Is the No. 3 man in the Reds' power trust, lashed a first-pitch double to left center for two runs. May careened around to third when Blair was unable to pick up the ball cleanly and scored when Hal McRae surprised the Orioles by laying a bunt down to the left of the mound for a Tolan made it 4-0 in the third inning when he slammed a 2-0 pitch into the lower stands in right field for a home run. Brooks Robinson, who made sensational fielding play Saturday, added another later in the inning to end the Reds' threat After Tolan's homer, Bench walked with two out and May followed with a hot shot down third.

Robinson was spun around by the force of the hit, but held OB, straightened up and began third-tc-second-to-first double play, and maybe that gave the Orioles the lift they needed, for Powell then started the Balfi- more comeback with a leadoff homer in the fourth 1 BALTIMOHF CINCCQMn a a 31 4 1 2 0 ROM If 3 0 Blair cf 5 1 2 1 Tolaa rf 4 2 1 1 JPowell Ib 3 2 2 2 3b FBobinsn rf- 5 0 0 0 Bench BRoblnsn 3b 4 1 1 1 LMay Ib Hendrcki 3 0 1 2 McRae If DJohnson 2b 3 0 1 0 Reims 2b Winger si a 0 Woodwrd Cuellar 1 0 0 0 CILie ph 0 0 0 0 Chancy 1110 Carbo pb, 1 0 0 0 HGlotUa 0 0 0 0 WUcW 1 0 0 0 Carroll Bravo.ph Gullet Stewart ph Phoebus Stimuli pb Drbwiky MLopez BJIiU 4 1 1 1 3111 4 1 1 1 4021 4 0 2001 10H 0001 1 0 3 0 OH 0001 a a 1 0 0 1 356108 Total Baltimore i I I I daehuatl 3 0 1 Blair.
