Brooks Robinson started the Orioles on the way to the victory with a two-run first inning double off Tony Cloninger, doubled again in the sixth and sparkled in the field. Frank Robinson broke an 0-for-9 slump with two singles and a homer. Buford also collected a homer in the 10-hit Baltimore outburst and Blair chipped in with three singles.

McNally, meanwhile, limited the Reds to four hits until his slam put the game out of reach. McNally, a 24-game winner during the regular season, joined a select circle when he came up in the sixth with the bases loaded and tagged a 2-2 pitch from reliever Wayne "My ears were ringing from the crowd as I was going around the bases." That made him happy, although he pointed out his pitching was something less exciting than his hitting. "I won without my best stuff," McNally explained. "I had to junk my curve ball, after the fifth 'inning. Then I just went with the fast ball and slider, moving it in and out." McNally, a cunning lefthander who will be 28 at the end of this month, hit his grand slam in the sixth inning as the Orioles lengthened their lead to 8-1, but he had to share honors in the one-sided triumph.

For Baltimore had a host of heroes, including the Robinson boys Brooks and Frank and two other lights Bowlers Need Haircuts Jogging down the sports trail while hoping that some of those bowlers whom we have run pictures of for winning spots in the second annual Lincoln PBA Open make enough money in the tourney coming up Nov. 6-9 to be a 1 to afford haircuts: Missouri football coach Dan Devine in his taped phone interview this week points out, "We may be playing die best team in the nation this week in Notre Dame," then pauses and adds, "But we might have played the best team Baltimore W) Baltimore left-hander Dave McNally wrung the necks of the. Cincinnati Reds with a grand slam home run that left his eardrums ringing and led the Orioles to a 9-3 victory over Cincinnati Tuesday in the third game of the 1970 World Series. The Robinson Boys joined McNally in a steady tatoo of Cincinnati pitchers as the Orioles took a 34 lead In the series. That brought them to within one victory of sweeping the best-of-seven set, a feat they, accomplished in 1968 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"I knew it was going out as soon as I hit it," said McNally, who achieved a unique niche in World Series history by becoming the first pitcher ever to hit a bases-loaded homer. pect of coming back from an 0-3 deficit, which never has been done in World Series history. The Orioles, who came from behind 3-0 and 4-0 deficits for one run victories in the i and second game at Cincinnati, changed their strategy in the Memorial Stadium opener by quickly scoring two runs in the first inning. Cloninger, a 30-year-old righthander who failed to complete a start in 19 previous regular season and playoff games, got himself in trouble in the first inning when he walked Buford leading off. Two outs later, 35-year-old Frank Robinson stepped to the plate hitless in nine trips, and still somewhat upset by a comment from Cincinnati Manager Sparky Anderson suggesting he was in the Granger into the left field bleachers as a crowd of 51,773 gave him a standing, shouting ovation.

It was only the 12th time that a grand slam homer had been hit in the World Series and marked the first time a pitcher had managed to do it. But it was only the trim-in i for the Orioles, who streaked to an amazing 17th straight victory in a season-ending streak that now has covered the last 11 regular season games, three playoff triumphs over Minnesota and startling three victories over the Reds. That left the Orioles in position to clinch the series Wednesday and become only the third team in history to sweep the Series more than once. At the same time, the Reds are faced with the pros In the nation last week. Nebraska Devine was lavish in his praise of Nebraska's Joe Orduna twilight of his career.

He immediately ripped a single to right and, when Blair walked on a full count, Brooks Robinson, the 33-year-old third baseman who was the hero of the first game triumph with a homer, drove a double to left center field for two runs. McNally was touched for a run in the Reds' second when Hal McRae singled and rookie shortstop Dave Concepcion singled around a force out. Contributing to the run, however, was the fact that Frank Robinson's throw home on the play seemed to hit a rock, skipping by catcher Andy Etchebarren. McNally dfel not allow another hit until after he had the score with his grand slam, retiring 10 men in order until the Reds broke through again in the eleventh inning. Hs also shackled the heart of the Cincinnati batting order Tony Perez, Johnny Bench and' Lee May on a meaningless single by May.

The Orioles, meanwhile, lengthened their home ran lead over Cincinnati's hammerers by bringing their three-game total to sevenvThe Reds have hit three. While McNally settled down the Orioles got going again in the lliird when Frank-Robinson drove a 14 pitch over the center field fence just to the right of the 410-foot sign for a home run. In the fifth inning, Buford added to the homer total with a shot over the right field fence. It stayed that way until the big explosion in the bottom of the sixth. But before that Brooks Robinson again stuck his glove in things by pulling off the best defense play of the seriesA a Una chnt -NU TRYING TO PREPARE- Devaney Says KU Offense Most Balanced Since (JSC last week, him "the best all-around back in the league." But in this week's taped interview, he points out, "Friday 'night before the Nebraska game, I told our squad that despite what I had said about Orduna, I wouldn't trade our Joe Moore for Orduna and Jeff Kinney." Army coach Tom Cahill, whose Cadets have just completed a three-game set against Nebraska, Tennessee and Dame, says, "The three most exciting players I saw in those games were Tom Gatewood and Joe Theisman of Notre Dame and Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska." Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers is one of only two Big Eight coaches holding an edge over Nebraska's Bob Devaney, the nation's winningest mentor with a 107-28-6 mark for a percentage of .792.

Rodgers has Won two of three meetings with Devaney and the only other Big Eight coach holding an edge over the Husker leader is Oklahoma's Chuck Fairbanks, who also has won two of three. Against the other Big Eight coaches, Devaney is 7-1 versus Colorado's Eddie Crowder, 1-0 vs. Oklahoma State's Floyd Gass, 5-4 against Missouri'6 Dan Devine, 2-0 against Iowa State's Johnny Majors and 2-1 vs. Kansas State's Vince Gibson. Prefers Third Down Punting Rodgers Is one of the few coaches left in the you'll find telling his team to punt on third down deep in their own territory.

He offers this explanation: perience, but they've improved tremendously on defense. "They're a much better defensive team now than they were their early games." The Huskers had three players on the ailing list Tuesday, monster man Dave Morock with a twisted knee, cornerback Joe Blahak with the flu and linebacker Brace Hauge with a back injury suffered in a soccer class. Devaney said all three would be kept overnight in the NU Student Health Center. Pepper On NU Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers told the weekly Big Eight press briefing in Kansas City, "Ne braska, as usual, has a great football They have the best two quarterbacks in the league, the best set of running backs and the best blocking on the line of scrimmage.

The 87,538 fans who turned out for Saturday's Nebraska-Missouri game was the 14th consecutive sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium and pushed the attendance for the year to 200,569 for three games. As well as the string of 14 straight sellouts, the Huskers also have a couple of strings going on the field, having gone 12 games now without a loss and 15 straight without a shutout. Buffs Different On Road Colorado has been a different football team at home than on the rtfad in the past three seasons, winning only five of 15 games away from Folsom Field.

But playing at home has been of no help to Kansas State in recent years in its cross-state rivalry with Kansas In football. y. The last time Kansas State won from KU in Manhattan was 1954 by a 28-6 score. When the Wildcats defeated Colorado, 21-20, in Manhattan this season, it broke a hex the Buffs held over K-State at Manhattan since 1952. 'fyO; Fans' Memories Fade 1 An example of -how sports fans' memories fade over the years is? cropping up this week with callers arguing that sports writers and sportscasters are wrong in saying that no team has ever come back to win the World Series after losing the first, two games at home.

The example the fans cite Is Milwaukee and New York, claiming New York two at home before shifting to and eventually winninglhe Series. "i Milwaukee defeated, the Yankees in the 1957 Series by four games to three' in a Series' that opened in New York. The following year, New York won the Series, four1 games to three, in a Series thai opened in Milwaukee. The Yankees did lose the first two games of that Series, but they were road losses. has a great football team." game when The Irish also had a key offensive player injured last Saturday, Guard Larry DiNardo, whom Parseghian said probably will rest his strained knee for several weeks.

i "I'm sure Moore, who rushed some 1,300 yards last season and 600 already this year, means a great deal -to Missouri," said Parseghian. "But our fiirns show Missouri to have great skills in all departments. As for getting his Irish charged up to continue their ratings battle with topnranked Ohio State and No. 2 Texas, Parseghian said: t'l don't think that will be necessary with us facing a team that is the pride of the Big Eightand the game being on national TV.

Alliance St. Agnes dropped from third to sixth after being tied by Hemingford, but other than that there is no change, with the same ten teams on the list. The same ten teams also occupy all the positions in the eight-man grouping, but there is a major shift at- the top of the ladder. Mead, which had a crucial game with No.

By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Nebraska's unbeaten football team is trying to prepare this week for what head coach Bob Devaney terms the most balanced offensive opponent they've met since Southern Cal. "Kansas against Kansas State last week must have had a game plan that called for them to con trol the ball and keep it away from Lynn Dickey (K-State quarterback) as much as possible," Devaney pointed out Tuesday. "And they were able to carry it out.

"Kansas scored three times without throwing the ball while eating up tune on the ground. They proved in that game that they can generate a ground at tack." KU threw the ball only six times, completing two for four yards against Kansas State while gaining 228 yards on the ground. "But they proved earlier that they can throw the ball," uevaney added. "So they are the most balanced team we've faced other than possible southern tal. "ttignt now, tney're a more dangerous offensive team than Missouri was." The Husker coach admitted that some of the KU foes this season haven't been great football teams.

"Granted that New Mexico, Washington State and Syracuse aren't great football teams," he admitted, "But Kansas State Is a good football team and they oeattnem.

Robinson left his feet at first sight of the liner, dove headlong to his left and speared the ball in the webbing of his glove while sprawl ing in the dirt infield. It was now time for the Orioles to put it out of reach. With one out Blair singled, and 'Granger took over for Cloninger. Brooks Robinson then doubled and Dave Johnson was walked intentionally filling the bases.

Etchebarren struck out, and Granger seemed to be out of difficulty when McNally strode to the plate. But he wasn't. The rest of it was excess, including the two Cincinnati runs in the seventh built on a single by McRae, Concep-cion's second run batted in on a sacrifice fly, and singles by pinch hitter Woody Woodward and Pete Rose. The Orioles scored their final-run in the seventh when Boog Powell walked, Prank Robinson bounced a bad-hop single over Concepcion's head into left and Blair doubled.
