That, Denny said later, was almost as historic a kick as it was timely. "That's the first field goal Central's kicked in the last dec-ade," he contended "We've been working on them a lot this year, and Mittan just got a super kick, It was right down the middle." The Bulldogs' final touchdown came with 28 seconds remaining when Fewell, who'd carried an earlier option pitch 32 yards to the Hillcrest 22, scored from the 1. That gave him 110 yards for the game, all but 17 of them in the second half. "Our offensive line played weU," Denny said, accounting for FeweU's total and the 213 yards rushing the Bulldogs accumulated as a team. "They just blocked folks.

Anytime you control the line of scrimmage, you're going to have some scoring." It was the ability of the Central defense to control the other line of scrimmage that caught Banasik's eye, however. That played havoc with Hillcrest's option offense. "It hurt a lot," Banasik said. "The option is our bread and butter, and they just took it away from us. We couldn't go outside, and they started making us go inside." The Hornets' two lone scoring threats of note both ended when fourth-down runs came up short.

Late in the first half, Hillcrest used a 17-yard run by Tim Bade and an accompanying 15-yard faeemask penalty to make it to the Central 29, but Taylor was chased from the pocket on fourth down and run out of bounds 4 yards shy of a first down. On their first possession of the second half, the Hornets marched to the Central 35, this time stalling when Bade was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 dives into the line. "That was the turning point of the game, as far as we were concerned," Banasik said of the third-quarter failure. "Our kids had come out juiced up. We thought if we'd gone in and scored there, it would have picked us up a little bit, but we couldn't convert." "It was big," Denny agreed.

"But we felt out defense has been playing well all year. That was typical."

However, McMullen denied it in an interview with Associated lYess. "I don't know how many times I have to say it, as far as I'm concerned Bill Virdon has two more years on his contract and he will be the manager next season," McMullen "The media keeps bringing this up and there's nothing to it. "You compare people's performance with their peers and Bill Virdon stacks up so well with his peers." McMullen.

contending that Yankee slugger Reggie Jackson would not become an Astro, seconded Virdon's opinion on the Astros' offense. "We've got to get the players that we've got hitting the ball," said McMullen. "We've got some good hitters on the club and we're going to work ith them."

George Steinbrenner, principal owner of the New York Yankees, said Thursday that Bob Lemon can have the managerial job again next season if he wants it.

Steinbrenner made the comment during a news conference announcing that the Nashville Sounds, a Class A A baseball entry in the Southern League, had extended its working agreement with the Yankees' organization for five years. Lemon, hired to replace Gene Michael who was fired Sept. 6, has been doing an excellent job of guiding the team through the playoffs and into the World Series, Steinbrenner said. The American League champions hold a 2-0 edge over the Los Angeles Dodgers going into tonight's World Series game at Dodger Stadium. "I'm perfectly happy and content right now," Steinbrenner said in response to a question about Lemon's status with the club.

"Lem is fine. "When I called him and told him I needed him. he said 'when and where do you need me, None of that 'how much are you going to give 'what are you going to give stuff. "He's real family, a loyal, loyal guy," Steinbrenner said. "It's (the job) his choice.

What he wants to do Is all right with me." Lemon, when told of his boss' comment during a workout at Dodger Stadium said, "That's very nice. I appreciate it We haven't talked about that yet, but we will after the season. We've got to get through this (Series) first "I think I might like to come back." Despite having seen his Yankees march halfway down the road to the Series championship, Steinbrenner said he's not counting the National League team out "I'm not ready to say this series is anywhere near over," he said. "I think the Dodgers are really going to be tough when they play at home. I think they will give us a lot of trouble." liiiiiiMiiiLriirTriirriiiiwriiiiniiiirMiTtii' '-miti.
