I still like the Yankees to win the World Series but the two game split at Candlestick Park let baseball in on the secret that the Bombers are not going to chase the Giants out of the ball park. The gambling gentry made the Yankees 13 to 5 favorites but the price dropped after Jack Sanford had shut them out on three hits in the second game in San Francisco. Now, if the truth be told, the 9 to 5 price on the Yankees is an overlay. It may.be that the Westerners have better pitching.

Billy Pierce I. did a hangup job beating the Dodgers in the playoff and Sanford pitched the best game of his life Friday even though the big guy didn't know what day it was. In the clubhouse a baseball writer asked him how come he Tackle by Luciani Key To Victory By BILL NEWELL Courant Sports Writer STORRS A key tackle by an unsung reserve halfback transformed a bumbling, stumbling University of Connecticut football team into a unit with a purpose this rainy, raw October afternoon as the Huskies drove from behind to upset Rutgers 15-9 before 1 0 had needed relief so many times the regular season yet was strong as a bull in the route going against the Yankees Friday afternoon. "Oh, I don't know, I guess I'm just a dumb Irishman," Sanford laughed. Another writer who had a date in New York with Sanford was brought up sharply.

"I'll see you in New York Sunday," big Jack said, a half hour after Friday game. "Sunday?" The writer said, "Our dinner date is for "Oh, for Pete's sake, what day is this?" Sanford asked. "Friday," the man retorted. "Friday, oh my gosh, I ate bacon for breakfast this morning," Sanford said. ForBulldogs By PAT BOLDUC Courant Sports Writer PROVIDENCE, R.I.

Underdog Brown, taking advantage of several costly Yale fumbles, battled the favored Eli to a 6-6 standoff Saturday in an Ivy League football game on rain drenched Brown field. A steady rain fell as the ancient rivals fashioned the first deadlock in the series since 1939. It was the 67th meeting with Yale holding a decisive edge in victories, 49 14. Saturday's outcome was only the fourth tie dating back to 1880. The Bruins turned one of six Yale fumbles into the afternoon's only touchdown and just barely managed to score before time expired in the opening half on a seven yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jim Dunda to end John Parry.

Brown never did get off the try for the all important extra points as the pass from center was high and fumbled.

The big play came in the early minutes of the second quarter after the UConns, off to a bad start and getting worse by the minute, fell behind by 9-0 as offensive mistakes began to pile up. Connecticut had finally begun a ground attack that moved from past midfield tr. the Rutgers 16 when, on third down, quarterback Doug Gaffney attempted a screen pass which was deflect-ed by Scarlet end Bill Craft into the waiting arms of fullback Ritchie Toad. Poad grabbed the ball near his own 30 and took off for the distant goal line with not a UConn in close pursuit.

It was then that halfback Ken Luciani came out of nowhere to chase and catch Poad on the I UConn 15 yard line. Suddenly fired up, Connecticut threw the visitors I back, forced them to miss a field goal attempt and turned the complexion of th struggle completely around.

Dark said that he didn't particularly consider Sunday's third' contest a key game. "I don't believe in key he said with a smile. "You have to win four Games to win the! series. We have been up and down so much this year that we don't care about key games." Stafford Problem The Giants' greatest problem in Sunday's tilt, he aded, was that "I don't know what kind of a pitcher Stafford is simply because I've never seen him.

We'll all go over scouting reports on him and then decide on our lineup." Most affected are first base and the outfield. The meeting will decide whether Willie McCovey Orlando Cepeda or Matty Alou will fill two spots. Felipe Alou will shift to left the sunfield berth in the stadium if it is a clear day. Cepeda had been benched because he wasn't hitting. Houk was toying with the idea of! ,.,0 needed factor in the interests of Ralph Houk, but they need Mickey above all.

The Yankees look up to their big muscle man. By the same token, the Giants will positively win the World Series if Cepeda starts hitting behind Mays, or if Willie McCovey picks up where the tired Cepeda dropped off. Your agent had dinner in San Francisco Friday with a baseball man from Honolulu who expressed the conviction that Cepeda is a lazy and headstrong young man. Whatever the trouble may be, Cepeda is not producing. If the Giants can win two games of the three at Yankee Stadium starting Sunday, they'll be in good shape for the decisive return to Candlestick Park.

They'll have Billy Pierce for one of the games there, and Pierce has yet to be beaten in the Giants' ball park this season. He is 12 and 0 at Candlestick. He likes the wind blown, cool weather out there and might be most difficult to beat in the Giants' home surroundings. San Francisco is a better defensive club than many believed. Jim Davenport takes second place to nobody as a third baseman and Jose Pagan and Chuck Hiller have been making great plays at the middle of the infield.

A report filed by Park Guard Aaron Smith showed the 28-year-old champion was halted while driving his 1962 Cadillac at the unusually slow rate of 15 miles an hour. Smith said he detected an odor of alcohol on Liston's breath and the boxer could not produce the owner's card for the automobile. No charges were placed against Liston.
