The Buskers were trailing Kansas by 17-14 with about Baltimore UP) The sign outside, Memorial Stadium, before Thursday's fifth game of the World Series implored the Baltimore Orioles to "Make the Reds Blue" and that's exactly what they did in their fashion. Beating a steady tattoo of 15 hits against a disintegrating Cincinnati pitching staff, the Orioles won their second World Series in five years Thursday as left-hander Mike Cuellar pitched them to a 9-3 victory. The triumph, built on.

Cuellar's shutout pitching after a shaky first inning and underscored by a final fielding flourish by Series hero Brooks Robinson, gave the Orioles four victories to one for the Reds in the best-of -seven set. "I'm the happiest I've1 ever said Robinson in champagnersplashed dressing. room: will ever replace the: first' one. But it does make up for everything last year." Last year was totally different for the Orioles. They lost to the New York Mets and Brooks went l-for-19.

But a look at Cincinnati pitching changed that. "You can't win with only two regular pitchers," acknowledged Pete Rose, the plucky Cincinnati right fielder. "Not enough." Agreed, said Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson, adding: "Sure we used 18 pitchers. But I've got to do what the scoreboard shows. They just kept hitting us." The Orioles started doing that in Cincinnati Saturday and finished tin Baltimore Thursday, atoning for their loss to the Mets last year and earning a minimum Series triumph No.

40 in the 67-year history of the baseball classic. The biggest share of the glory had to be assigned to Cuellar, the 24-game winner who should have been unsettled by a three-run first-inning explosion by the Reds, but then pulled himself together and fashioned a six-hitter. The 5-foot-ll, 175-pound vtteran, who started his career with Cincinnati in 1959, allowed only two harmless singles after that and joined the other two members of the Orioles' big three Jim Palmer and Dave McNally as in the series. Tom Phoebus got the other victory. While Cuellar steadied himself, the rest of the Orioles did the same, richocheting hits all over the damp stadium for two runs in.

each-of the first three innings to put it away. Center fielder Paul Blair, who stroked three singles and matched Brooks Robinson's nine-hit total for the Series, got the Orioles started in their half of the first inning when he stroked 'a hit with one out against Cincinnati starter Jim Merritt. That brought up Frank Robinson to bat against the left-handed ace of the Reds' staff, selected by manager Sparky Anderson from among three possible candidates for the critical starting role. Merritt worked the count to 3-2 and then Frank swung, lofting the pitch halfway up the left field bleachers for his second homer of. the.

series. In the second inning, the Orioles chased Merritt and pulled ahead to stay. Dave Johnson walked with one out, Andy Etchebarren singled and, when Cuellar hit a sharp liner to right that Pete Rose caught, Anderson yanked Merritt. Wayne Granger, slugged for a grand slam homer by pitcher Dave McNally in the third game, came on and found the going just as rough this time. Mark Belanger and Blair followed with consecutive singles, each driving in a run and putting Baltimore in front 4-3.

Granger would be gone in the third. And Anderson would call on Milt Wilcox, Tony Cloninger, Ray Washburn and Clay Carroll in an attempt to stop the big, bad Birds, but nothing could do it. The Reds, who had battled back from elimination with a 6-5 victory built on Lee May's three-run homer Wednesday, just were unable to find the guy who could stop the booming Baltimore bats. Boog Powell, the hulking first baseman, led off the Baltimore third with a double on one hop to the bullpen fence in right-center and Merv Rettenmund immediately drove him in with a single. Rettenmund eventually scored on a single by Johnson.

Rettenmund lengthened the lead to 7-3 in the fifth inning when he tagged a 3-2 pitch from Cloninger into the right field bleachers for his homer. Then, in the eighth, the Orioles added further embarrassment by collecting their final two runs on three hits. Singles by Blair and Frank Robinson opened the inning. Powell's hot smash brought Blair home and Johnson singled Frank Robinson home. That took it into the ninth and, as Cuellar strode to the mound, the appreciative crowd cheered loudly.

But the loudest cheer arose when Brooks Robinson put the finishing flourish on his brilliant one-man performance with another exceptional fielding play spearing a hot liner from Johnny Bench in foul territory for the first out. The crowd roared again as May fanned for the second out and reached a final ear-splitting crescendo as pinch-hitter Pat Corrales bounced a grounder to Brooks Robinson for the final out. The Baltimore' bench emptied onto the field to embrace each other. Robinson wound up the five-game set with nine hits In 21 at-bats, two homers and six runs batted in, winning the car awarded by Sport Magazine to the hero of the Series. He also set a five-game Series record with 17 total bases and tied two others with his nine hits and four long hits.

But Babe Ruth collected more hits, 10, in a four-game series for the New York Yankees in 1928. Robinson, however, joined only five others who had managed to collect as many as nine hits in a five-game classic. The 10 home runs by the Orioles also set a five-game Series record. Besides Brooks, Powell and Frank Robinson also had two. McNally, Rettenmund, Don Buford and Eilie Hendricks added one each.

The outstanding hitter for the Reds was May, who collected seven hits in 18 at-bats, hit two homers and drove in eight runs. Meanwhile, Tony Perez, the homer-hitting third baseman, had a disastrous series with only one hit in 18 trips to the plate and failed to drive in even one run. May added to his hit total in the final game with a first-inning double as the Reds built a 3-0 lead and seemed to have maintained. the momentum gained by Wednesday's shocking come-from-behind triumph. With one out, Rose sliced a pop fly double to right.

Perez filed out, but Bench singled up the middle, Rose racing around to score. May then drove his double off the left field fence and Hal McRae followed with a two-run double up the right-center field alley. But Cuellar got Tommy Helms to ground out and, although the Reds didn't know it, their run-scoring for the day was over. The Orioles, who swept the Los Angeles Dodgers four straight for their last World Series triumph in 1966, thus partly redeemed themselves for losing to the Mets in 1969 and Brooks Robinson more than made up for a l-for-19 performance in that series. In game No.

1, he hit a homer in the seventh inning that sent Baltimore to a 4-3 victory. In game No. 2, he drove in the tying run with a single in a five-run fifth inning that led to a 6-5 victory. In game No. 3 he lashed a two-run double that put the Orioles ahead to stay in the first inning and later doubled in the sixth inning before McNally bit his grand slam in the 9-3 triumph.

And he fielded so exceptionally even for him that he was given a new nickname by the Reds. Hoover, they called him, as he acted like a vacuum cleaner in the infield. man prize with an offensive outburst that included home runs by rank Robinson and Merv Kenenmunn in a display that put the Baltimore sluggers in the record book. The day dawned dreary and drizzly as rain pelted Memorial Stadium, but it stopped before game time, the skies lightened for 45,341 fans and the day brightened for 25 Orioles as they brought manager Earl Weaver his first world title. iwo nunuies wit wnen jerry lagge, scramoung near me sidelines, tossed the ball in the general direction of Jim 'jMcFarland, Husker tight end.

But it was a turning point in the season for both teams with Kansas going on to lose the remainder of its games a 1-9 mark and Nebraska winning the rest of its for a 9-2 record and a Sun Bowl trip. Had the game gone the other way. Nebraska might have had trouble bouncing back just as Kansas did.

Every batter in the lineup, except Cuellar, stroked at least one hit in the assault against six Cincinnati pitchers. And Brooks Robinson, unquestionably the outstanding player in the series, added to his total with his ninth hit. But Brooks was only a minor part of the fifth game's story as the Orioles brought the American League World will hardly get his uniform dirty in this one.

The Missouri Tigers have lost their lofty ranking among the nation's elite football teams but Coach Dan Devine has to be rated as the No. 1 optimist in the college coaching fraternity. Missouri, ranked among the best 10 teams earlier and now clear down to 18th, faces the third-ranked Irish of Notre Dame in a nationally televised game before more than 64,000 here Saturday.

Devine has spent his week overhauling Missouri's offense after losing his great tailback, All-American candidate Joe Moore, for the season. The entire right side of the Tigers' offensive line has been ripped away by injuries to Dan Kelley, Eric Lowder and Chuck Colclasure. Defensive tackle Rocky Wallace is out of Saturday's game. So are linebackers Nip Weisenfels and Roger Yanko. The other linebacker, Sam Britts, will see only limited action if any.

Missouri has been bothered by quarterbacking problems all season despite its 3-2 record. Still, Devine, among the nation's top five coaches as a producer of winning teams, smiles and says with pure unadultered optimism: "We'll play a good gime against Notre Dame." tings. pletion from Copple to end woriman or mine Beran.

The latest nominees, bringing to 15 the number tapped for consideration from the Big Eight area, are offensive halfback Johnny Rodgers and defensive tackles Dave Walline and Larry Jacobson, all of Nebraska, and offensive guard Dennis Havig of Colorado. Mahlon Aldridge, general manager of radio station KFRU, Columbia, said in nominating Rodgers after Nebraska's 21-7 victory over Missouri that the Cornhusker star is "durable, quick and fast." Aldridge said Walline and another Nebraska player already nominated, Jerry Murtaugh, "hurt Missouri all afternoon." Leighton Housh, sports editor of the Register and Tribune, Des Moines, Iowa, another member of the selection board, said Havig "protected the quarterback superbly against Iowa State" in Colorado's 61-10 verdict over the Cyclones. Housh noted that Jacobson tackled the Missouri quarterback three times for losses and recovered a fumble.
