WEIRDO But to begin at the beginning of this California-Minnesota business, the outcome of which put the Twins a full game ahead of Chicago in the American League pennant, race. The Beginning was top of the s'eventh inning. Dave Boswell of the Twins and George Brunet of the Angels were locked in a scoreless battle and Minnesota had man nSr short, the inning appeared ended. But hold. Jim Fregosi threw the ball over the first baseman's head and there was Hank on second.

A single by Jackie Hernandez, a double by Ted Uh-laender and the Twins were up by one. But it wasn't over yet. ANXIOUS MOMENT Two singles by the Angels in the bottom of the ninth with one out made things tense for the Twins. Jim Kaat, normally a starter, came in for Boswell and got Bubba Morton to line out. Al Worthington, a battle-hardened reliever, came in for Kaat.

Larry Stubing hit for Bobby Knoop. Larry Stubing? W-hy sure, bought only three days ago from El Paso. This was his first time up in the majors. They call him Moose for physical reasons. A passed ball.

Men on second and third. Your big chance, Moose, i A decent single could win the But a called third strike ended that dream and, mercifully, the Capitals Journal however, the bases were loaded with none out on three singles-one legitimate, one a bad hop and one a bunt. Surely the Twins would score. Surely, not. Zoilo Versalles hit a shallow fly to right.

Cesar To-var hit a shallow fly to left. Tony Oliva hit a line drive, at least, but Roger Repoz caught it. We repair now to the bottom of the seventh. Short anc sweet. Repoz hit one out of the park.

McCormick won 16th game of year and 100th of career, but one pitch ruined his shutout bid. (AP) Pitcher Mike McCormick of San Francisco Giants watches baseball on its way to Clete Boyer of Atlanta Braves (top) in ninth inning, then show disgust (bottom) as it disap Mets ave Nig, But Redbirds Fly J. Neil (Skip) Stahley presumably is still pushing the project to put Portland State in the collegiate major leagues, which is just a little ironic at this point.

1 Over in Moscow, the one in Idahothey are now remembering Skip as the fellow who made a minor leaguer bfxthe University of Idaho. That, at least, was the infeferjce in a wire service reporftois week. Vandal 'athletic management learned to iis dismay that the Football Writers Association, the law in this case, had decided to "drop Idaho into what is called the division" forMootball purposes. Criteria is the schedule. For ma jorv ranking, a school must play at least half its games against other major college, or "university division" teams.

Idaho, alas, does not this year. Fresno Slate, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Weber-State 'Parsons, all minors on the card, have dragged the. Vandals into the bushes for the nonce. Naturally, that didn't digest well with Vandal faithful of long memories and -short tempers. Some can Mill remember when the yandals once whipped UCLA more convincingly than, they did Whitman and wouldn't 'even acknowledge the existence of Idaho State.

And now they're calling them "college division," just like General' Beadle State, Gallaudet and Ursinusr among others. 1 Well, Paul.Ostyn, who now sits in Skip's old athletic directorship, 'isn't going to let them hang that shame on his head. "The football schedules from 1967 through 1970," said Ostyn, "were made by a previous administration." He could probably talk plainer than that, but didn't figure it was necessary. Victims of Circumstance In fairness to Stahley, it must be noted that there was a brief and immediately more previous administration than his own at Idaho. An innocent bystand- er named John Thomas, who had battled the athletic budget and sold tickets for a time, was elevated to acting athletic directorship in 1964 following Stahley 's defection to USC and before Ostyn's appointment 11 months later.

But it is highly doubtful that Thomas dabbled in schedule making, particularly since collegiate slates at that level are sometimes drawn up as much as five or six years in Of course, whoever put together the 1967 slate was a victim of circumstance. The Vandals had aligned themselves with the Big Sky Conference in 1964 and were committed to scheduling inside the league as soon as openings were available. Openings obviously had to follow two year packs with the likes of Washington, Oregon State and San Jose, among others. The rub came when others of the Big Sky did not in the meantime enhance their own schedules sufficiently to qualify for major rankings. Weber State, for instance, is still trafficking with the likes of Northern Arizona and Colorado Western, among others.

Idaho State meets minors like South Dakota State and. Hawaii and both play Stahley's own PSC' Fresno is a fringe area minor leaguer whose schedule right now is probably tougher than many majors, but the Football Writers just won't buy San Fernando, Cal Poly and Santa Clara yet. Actually, the lot of them, Idaho included, are sorely misplaced in the so called college division. They are all awesome in-betweens, capable of knocking the knobs off many of the university divisionites and certainly more potent than the ordinary small college entry. As this tourist has suggested in the past, the two-division system is clearly antiquated by the nature of enrollments and athletic policies across the land today and the Football Writers would do well to consider more meaningful classifications along the.

lines of those designated for organized baseball. Seeking Their Level In any case, it is to be hoped the Vandals and their faithful do not smart unduly over the drop in status. It may be only temporary, and-even if it isn't, Idaho history is, rich in respectable resistance. The Vandals of yore were never much for records, but 'neither were they given to crying "uncle" in the old and tough Pacific Coast Conference, where they campaigned between 1922 and its dissolution i 1958-59. Over that spanthey managed a mild 32-122-5 "conference record, but not many of their confreres ever looked upon their visits to Moscow as a token appearance.

And- remarkably, Vandal records during the PCC years were generally better than those of the period immediately following the break-up. Those years, in fact, may have been the start of something small in the way of eventual classification. In 1959 and 1960, the independent Vandals were able to whip only Montana and Hawaii' while losing "18 times in Stahley's last two years as coach. And if Dee Andros brought them back somewhat in the next three seasons (9-17-1) and actually put the first winning season on the book in 24 years, he did it with the help of some distinct level-seeking. Idaho's, five wins (against four losses) in 1963 were scored against Fresno, Pacific, San Jose, Idaho State and Utah, hardly certified titans of the game.

In current company, the Vandals could make it the second winning year In 23 and if they are neat about it, maybe nobody will notice their status is leaking.

When he came to the lockers of rookies Mel Farr and Nick Eddy it was something a little different.

"I was so tight out there," said Farr, the Lions' No. 1 draft choice. "It was the first time I returned a punt for a touchdown since my high school days," said Eddy, the Lions' No.

McCormick's performance was not as eventful as Fisher's, but it did tie him for the major league lead in games won. The Giants' left-hander, who has lost five times, yielded only seven hits and had the Braves blanked until Clete Boyer hit his 21st homer with a man on in the ninth.

But it wasn't enough to overcome a three-run shot by Willie McCovey in the fourth and his sacrifice fly in a three-run third as San Francisco ended its own three-game losing streak and shattered the Braves' five-game, winning string.

Oregon's final tally was 316: LADIES DAY "He refused to come school By MIKE RECHT Associated Press Sports, Writer The New York Mets finally had their night, but for the St. Louis Cardinals, it looks more and more like their year. The rollicking Redbirds, flying along with a 9Vz game National League lead -on the wing, reached their largest bulge of the season the hard way Monday wnight, scoring thrice in the last of the ninth to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5. It's been going that way all year the Cardinals, who haven't been out of the top spot since June 17.

But the Mets haven't had a night like Monday's since the Fourth of July fireworks they lit under Juan Marichal. This time, the Mets finally set off the long-burning fuse under Larry Jackson as they clipped the wings of the Philadelphia right-hander 8-3 for the first time in their history after 18 losses. In the only other NL games, Mike McCormick won his 16th game, stopping Atlanta on seven hits as San Francisco won 6- 2, and Willie StargelFs run-scoring single in a 'three-run eighth carried Pittsburgh by Cincinnati MARIS STARS Once again, it was Roger Maris, the Yankee castoff, who sent the Cardinals soaring with an assist from Cubs' right fielder Ted Savage, an ex-Cardinal. Maris, who tripled home two earlier runs and scored a third, singled in the tying run with one out in the ninth and the winning marker scored when Savage fumbled the hit. Savage had been a hero until then' after he capped Chicago's three-run fifth inning with a run-scoring safety.

Klamath took the Post 49 team to the woodshed, 19-1, last night in Woedburn. But Coach Bill Croco and his Valley League champions suspect that might be exactly what the doctor ordered. The loss left them no worse than even 1-1 in the best-ef-five state championship series and there no doubt it took a heap of pressure off their backs.

Woodburn had just completed a pair of playoff series with David Douglas and Portland Madison that had gone the distance And the pressure was on.
