Anderson's starting choice reportedly is Between Zachry, a rookie who won 1-1 and left-bander Don Gulk-tt. whose laie-season surge has buoyed the staff. On paper, some say the Phillies have the stronger starting siaff.

Wilh Morgan in the lineup, the Reds swept the- las; three, setting off some verbal fireworks in the Phillies' clubhouse.

Philadelphia Manager Danny Ozark growled: "We proved they aren't as good as they ihink they are. They think they are superhumans." Anderson has been leaning toward Zachry, 14-7, who defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers five times this year. Bui Gullett, 11-3, has the experience of four playoffs and the momentum of a torrid season finish. ike Tangle Feature MacArthur's domination of the Great Plains Conference football race will be challenged Thursday when the Scots battle Eisenhower in the city junior high feature.

at the Eisenhower High practice field. Central and Tomlinson also will be. busy, The Cougars host Duncan in a loop game at 7 p.m. at Ron Stephens Stadium, and Tomlinson visits Ardmore for a 7 o'clock battle.

The Vikings edged Tomlinson. 18-16, last week'to remain in contention for the championship. Ike lost its league debut to Duncan, then came back to stop Altus Northeast and Tomlinson.

Central is 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the Great Plains. The Cougars fell to Mac, 34-6, last week. Tomlinson is 3-2 and 2-2. The Wolves have defeated Altus Southeast and Duncan, but fell to Mac and Ike in loop action. Ozark Opposes Playoff System PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadelphia Phillies' manager a Ozark says he never did like baseball's playoff system, but he has some definite ideas on how a manager should approach the five game series that decides the American and National League World Series opponents.

Ozark's Phillies meet the Cincinnati Reds starting Saturday in Philadelphia in the playoff for the National League pennant. The first two games are here, Saturday and Sunday, and as many of the -final three as necessary in Cincinnati Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. "The trouble with the playoffs," said Ozark before sending his Eastern Division champions through a two hour workout, "is that the weaker team might beat the best team. It might come down to the second best team in Lhe National League meeting the best in the American. Or the two second best meeting for the (World Series) championship." OZARK ADDS, however, that in the National League this year, that isn't a problem.

"The two best teams in baseball' (the Phillies and Reds) are playing. One (the Reds) won 102 and the other (Phillies) 101. But this playoff will distract something from the World Series. We have the best players in baseball on the field," the Phillies' manager declared. "I'm not trying to take anything away from the American League," Ozark continued, "but a.

lot of people (in baseball) would like to take half of our club and half of the Reds. They'd haw a hell of a club." Since there are playoffs, and he and his team are in it, Ozark has been giving the series against the Reds some deep thought from a managerial standpoint. He has never been in a playoff as coach or manager. He has seen a number, and he doesn't like a lot of what he has seen. Ozark said there wen? a kt of things he has seen in previous playoffs thai he would not have done, He hastened to rote that he wasn't second guessing managers, just pointing up things he felt he had learned.

"YOU HAVE TO lake the same outlook that you had all year," O.ark explained. "You haw to for pel a it's short series. The main thing is to execute fundamentals the way you have all year, throw to the right base, keep the doubleplay in order, take the extra Ozark said. "I've seen piichers change their delivery entirely Lhe a guys v.to 18, 19. 20 games.

The catcher plays a big part. He has 10 resist not calling for the curve ball, because he wants to throw out a The i ler will be i i with the catcher, looking for the same Ihing. We can't change our pattern on a hitter." Ozark. said furrow, a runner can'i say lo himself that he's not coing to steal because Johnny Bench is catching and has a great arm, and he can't iea! against him. Thf Phillies' manager says chat has to lake the same chances he i the j-etrular season.

"YOU CANT immobohze a whole squad by changing the way you aid i for 162 games." Ozark a i "You have Lo play a normal game. It's like going from spring training lo the regular season. You do things in spring training that you will do in the regular season. Your players have to know how you're thinking." Ozark dismissed the klea that the Phillies would be nervous because it's their first playoff, white ihe Reds nrp ok! hands at post seamen competition and better equipjx-d to handle the in- herreni pressures. "If a player isn't nvrvous he doesn't belong on this ball club," Ozark declared.

"It's no more than like opening day. Cincinnati will be just as nervous as we are, I care how a times you do it. I think players thrive on pressure. They get stronger, run faster, throw harder." Ozark admitted that one of the big problems in a five game playoff is the a i of pitchers. Do you i a starter any quicker than you would in the regular season? Cincinnati's Sparky Anderson, for example is known as "Captain Hook." because of his quick use of the bullpen relievers.

The Phillies' manager said he would try to use the same judgment he had during a season in which his club won 101 games. He admitted that because of the importance he might call upon a starter like Jim Kaat to come in and get one or two batters out. Ozark said he had announced his second game i Jim Lonborg, early, because he i want the pitchers distracted in preparing for the playoff by concern over when they would pitch. He said he would do the same thing for Tuesday's third game in Cincinnati as soon as he sees how the first game of the set comes out.

BY THE TORce OF YOUR BODY VJIND-UP- Namath Student Wins Honor PITTSBURGH (AP) When Joe Namath was in town during the pro football exhibition season for a New- York Jets game against the Steelers, he asked Pitt Coach John Majors about Matt Cavanaugh. a college quarterback Namath tutored during the summer at his camp. If Namath would have asked this week. Majors would have said: "Matt was just fabulous. He played wilh a tremendous amount of poise." a a a shares more i his teacher and childhood hero than just the No.

12 on his jersey. The 6-foot-2. 209-pound junior put on a startling aeria! show Saturday and led the Panthers, usually a rushing team, lo a 43-31 triumph over Duke by completing i-4 of 17 passes for 339 yards and a school-record five touchdowns. He gairred an additional 39 yards on the ground and led Pitt to a total 554 yards on offense to earn honors today as The Associated Press. National Back of the Week, an honor Namath won as an Alabama player several times more than a decade ago.

"I'm elated," beamed Cavanaugh. who celebrated i a call home to Youngstown, Onio. "It's the kind of thing you dream of." Pitt, winning three straight and a No. 2 ranking primarily on the'running of Heisman Trophy hopeful Tony Dorsett, won its fourth in a row on the strength of Cavanaugh's passing attack, dreamed up in a few days of practice to meet Duke's stop-Dorsett defense. "It was a play action series a worked out preity good," explained the soft-spoken, articulate liberal arts major.

"I don't think we practiced it more than two or three days. "Most of the defenses we fact? are centered around trying to stop Tony or Elliott fWaJker). Our coaches saw that and made the adjustment in our offense." Cavanaugh inherited the a i spot from Robert Haygood, who is out for the season with torn knee ligaments suffered againsc Georgia Tech in season's second game. "I think a krt of lime before I was preoccupied with whether or not I'd be playing. Thinking about that may have caused me to slack up in practice.

Plus I'd be concerned about goofing up." Cavanaugh has connected on 29 of 45 passes this season for 573 yards and seven touchdowns. Only starting twice this season, he already ha thrown for more yardage and has equalled the scoring of his four starts last year. In winning Back of the Week honors, Cava-naugh beat out flanker Wesley Walker of California and running backs Scott Dierking of Purdue, Ric Enis of Indiana. Johnny "Lam" Jones of Texas and John Pagliaro of Yale. Others considered included quarterbacks Rob Kertel of Southern Cal, Lloyd Patterson of Memphis State, Vines Ferragamo of Nebraska, Leamon Hall of Army, Derrick Ramsey of Kentucky, Matt Robinson of Georgia.
