Schmidt clubbed a two-run blast with one out in the 11th Saturday to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 6-4 victory over the Montreal Expos and their fourth division title in the last five years. 1 "I don't have to think about it.

This is number one," said Schmidt, whose major league leading 48th homer of the year strengthened his bid to win the National League's Most Valuable Player award. 4 "This was such a great ballgame. I think the worst thing that could have happened to us would have been to lose," Schmidt said amid flying champagne corks in the Phillies' dressing Wr.

"Reggie did it; he turned the game 'around.

That's all you can say," said Manager Dick Howser after the first game of the doubleheader.

Houston came to Lbs Angeles, needing one victory in three games to clinch the division but now must win Sunday to prevent a one-game play-' off on Monday. "I think Nolan Ryan got his fastball out a little bit. He started me with a curve and then came the fastball. I was sure it was gone when I hit it," Garvey added. The score was tied 1-1 at the time and left-hander Jerry Reuss shut out the Astros the rest of the way, scattering seven hits.

"No way did we feel out of the game," said offensive tackle Pat Bren-; nan.

"We felt the whole game we could 'move the ball on them." 1 the Huskies drove D3 yards behind quarterback Ken Sweitzer who scored the winning touchdown on a 13-yard run with 2:51 remaining to stun Colgate, 24-21 Saturday. Before 11,439 on Parents' Day, the Huskies rallied from 14-0 and 21-7 first half deficits to boost their record to 4-1 for the first time since 1958. Colgate is 1-2-1.

But not to celebrate an Ivy League championship or a victo-. ry over Harvard. The bubbly was for coach Carm Cozza, the winningest coach in Yale football history, who secured victory number 100 Saturday against the Air Force Academy. Cozza has had easier wins than the 17-16 seat-squirmer before 23,000 fans. But he'll take it.

"I wish I could have a game football for every one of my players," said Cozza as his team surrounded him and poured champagne over his head. Now In his 16th year as Yale mentor, Cozza has a 100-35-3 record. For the third week in a row junior tailback Rich Diana, doing a little bit of everything, powered undefeated Yale to its third triumph. The junior had 200. yards in all-purpose yardage rushing for 136 yards, catching three passes for 38 and running back a punt and a kick-off for 26.

After Diana scored a touchdown on a twisting, 25-yard reception late in the third quarter, Air Force quickly answered when Denny Moore flew down the middle of the field and caught a 47-yard touchdown aerial. The Falcons wasted no time and lined up if you can call it that for a two-point conversion run with 46 seconds remaining in the quarter.
