Despite Pierce'il'. perfect 12-0 record at Candlestick Park, Dark saved him for the Stadium which his club will be seeing for the first time under game conditions. However, a team that had been through a-bitter pennant fight and an agonizing three-game playoff for the National League championship, did not figure to be overawed by such little things as 88,000 fans; a tripje-decked sta dium in the Bronx. Pierce, 35, knew his way around the Stadium after his span of service with Detroit and the Chicago White Sox who traded hira to the Giants last winterPitching against the Yanks for 13 years with the White Sox and two With Detroit, Pierce had a 25-37 record.

Jose Pagan, flashy shortstop, was the leading Giant hitter of the Series after two games with a .600 average. Willie Mays, hit- less in the second game after three hits off Ford in the opener, had a .375 mark and Felipe Alou and Tom Haller each was hitting .333.

Howard at .600, rookie Tom Tresh at .375, and Clete Boyer at .333 led the Yanks. The Yanks had been deadly ink Series play, no matter wbat the park. In 66 games at the Stadium they have a 43-23 record. Over-all they had won 19 and lost seven World Series, Including four of six with the Giants.

98-Yard TD Run, FG, Stops Tech By VERNOV BUTLER ATLANTA (AP) Louisiana State struck nationally ranked Georgia Tech with a thunderbolt named Jerry Stovall Saturday and then turned a field foal by Lynn Amedee into a 16-7 Southeastern Conference football upset. Stovall, looking every inch as great as his fabulous predecessor Billy Cannon, returned the second-half kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. Then after Tech had tied the score on a 73-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter, Stovall positioned LSU for its winning field goal by picking up 18 yards to the Tech 12 in the closing minutes. It was the first loss of the sea-con in three games for Tech, No. 5 in the nation in The Associated Press poll.

For LSU, undefeated since the 19S1 season opener, it represented a tremendous come back after last week's 6-t tie with Rice. The nationally televised collision was a superb defensive show until the 195-pound Stovall fielded the second half kickoff two yards from his goal and outlegged everybody into the Tech end zone 88 yards away. Quarterback Billy Lothridge, magnificent in defeat for -Tech, ateered the embattled Yellow Jackets on a spectacular drive that covered 73 yards in nine 1 plays and hit end Billy Martin with a 10-yard scoring pass. Martin also caught passes for 15 and. IS yards on the drive, and fullback Ray Mendheim ran for 19 yards on a key play, LSU fullback Charles Cranford returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to Tech's 45 and fumbled when tackled by Lothridge.

Ohio State in the first quarter drove 80 yards, only to be stalled on the one-yard line when two straight line plunges by fullback David Katterhenrich produced nothing. UCLA punted out and before the quarter ended Ohio State, starting on its own 39, moved down to the Bruin 11.

AF Vir ginia Tech's maturing (Ophomores rolled with Virginia's early punch bere aturday Sand then stormed from behind Mr a 20-15 victory over a favored Cavalier team that fumbled twice too often. Junior fullback Gerald Bobbitte scored two of the Tech touchdowns and personally slammed the door on Virginia's last-gasp touchdown bid with 1:29 left in the game when he pounced on Cavalier quarterback Gary Cu ozzo's fumble at the Tech 11. Both of Bobbitte's scaring plunges were one-yard affairs, but they spelled the difference in this fierce Harvest Bowl game before 18,000 in Victory Stadium.

I The first Bobbitte tiuchdownj came after Tech had recovered a second-period Virginia fumble on the Cavalier 12, and it narrowed Tech's deficit to 7-6 at half-time. His second score climaxed a 52-yard Tech advance in the third period and gave the hard-hitting Gobblers a 14-6 lead they never surrendered. The triumph was Tech's second against as many losses but was especially encouraging to Coach Jerry Claiborne because the Tech men finally mustered some semblance of a scoring punch. -While doing so, they kept Vir ginia almost completely at bay from midway the opening period until the final, frantic moments when it appeared the Cavaliers would pull-the game out of the Cuozzo's inspired passing In the last four minutes, Vir ginia trailing 20-15 careened 72 yards downfield, with the offense i generated almost entirely oy tu- 1 ozzo's pitching arm.

Cuozzo, trapped by the charging Tech defenders, dropped the ball as he tried to bang his way through them. Bobbitte sprawled on the ball and the Cavaliers thus were doomed to their first defeat after an opening victory two weeks ago. On their second series of plays in the game, the Cavaliers moved 44 yards for a touchdown which Cuozzo scored en a one-yard quarterback sneak. Ted Rzempoluch gained 33 yards in six carries during the drive. After the touchdown.
