,1 3 I 1 011 BP In a sensational duel of sophomore quarterbacks-Warren vs. Gary Beban the tide of battle ebbed and flowed almost unbelievably. Beban ran for three touchdowns and Warren ran for two and passed for two others. The Bruins scored first after recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff, only for Tennessee to take a' 13-7 lead going into the second period. At the half, the Vols had a 20-7 edge, but UCLA rallied for three touchdowns in the third quarter and regained command at 28-20.

The Vols lost 15 yards on four calls. "I'm embarrassed that I'm a- Southerner.

I was proud before today, but I'm not sure anymore," Prothro continued. "The pro All-Stars couldn't have won out there today. The officials gave Tennessee three extra timeouts in their final drive. They threw a lateral and it was called an incomplete pass. But I won't single out any one bad call because I could be here all night." On several occasions during the hectic last quarter Prothro stormed onto the field to protest to any official willing to listen, which wasn't often.

The winning coach, Doug Dickey, declined to comment on the officiating, being content to praise his ball club. teammates ran to his aid, and in a trice there was shoving and pushing on all sides before things simmered down. Petrella suffered a concussion when trampled during the melee, according to a Vol spokesman, and his face was bloodied and cut. Bruin coach Tommy Prothro, a Memphis native, was seething in rage as reporters tried to interview him after the frantic fracas in which the lead changed hands five times to the intense delight (and dismay, at times) of a crowd of 44,495 in Memorial Stadium. "It was the worst-officiated game I have ever seen," said the bitter man who felt he'd been jobbed in his own home town by referee Johnny Cook's crew, of which four are Southeastern Conference officials.

BY FRANK FINCH TimM StaH Writer MEMPHIS UCLA and Tennessee slugged it out Saturday like a couple of tribes of warring cave men. The Vols landed the last punch a one-yard touchdown jaunt by quarterback Dewey Warren with 39 seconds to play to win by a last-round knockout, 37-34. Well, Warren's "punch" actually wasn't the last one, because gang warfare threatened to erupt in front of the Bruin bench as the game ended when Tennessee safety man Bob Petrella was knocked out of bounds after returning an intercepted pass 49 yards. Petrella crashed into a UCLA substitute standing on the sideline and fell heavily to the ground.

The Trojans, despite a de Well, I see where baseball has popped up with, the bases loaded again. They have picked the Mystery Guest as commissioner of baseball.

Will you come in, Commissioner, and sign in, please? Now, is there a product connected with what you do? The gentleman in question is a retired three-star general. You can see this is exactly, what baseball' needs. Beset by pro football (over 60 of the age group between 21 and 34 consider THAT the national pastime) rising costs, the demise of the minor leagues, the threat of anti-trust, they have decided that what they need is a man who can compute the trajectory of an artillery shell, lecture learnedly on the importance of air cover, recite the arms manual from memory and chronologically list Napoleon's campaigns and Lee's mistakes at Gettysburg. If that's what they wanted, what was the matter with Bruce Catton? If a military man was needed all along, why not Audie Murphy? Why did they pick Judge Landis after 1919 instead of Von Moltke? Did anybody contact De Gaulle? Contact Him Through O'Malley I won't bore you with the general's name. Matter of fact, I keep forgetting it.

He's so anonymous, someone in the East suggested he might be the Unknown Soldier. It's for sure he's the Unknown Baseball Commissioner. He might be the game's first unlisted commissioner. If you need him, you leave a message with his answering service Walter O'Malley. I don't know how he stands on the important issues of the game.

Like the infield-fly rule. Or, how is he on World Series rainouts? Does he know the hit-and-run play? Who does he think was the greatest, Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth? I do know he was checked out by a screening committee of Walter O'Malley, Bob Reynolds, John Gal-breath and John Fetzer. I don't suppose they bothered him with any messy little particulars like franchise-shifts which, as everyone knows, are league matters. It took baseball 50 years to move its first franchise but it has been moving them so fast and in so many directions since that you're in danger of getting hit with one on the freeway. Some of the franchises seem so sure to move the team bus double-parks when they arrive in town.

The general did display one outstanding qualification in his first press conference. Someone asked him when was the last time he had seen a game and he said that if he had seen one in the past year, he didn't remember it. That was a wholesome start. He might have added, "The trouble with baseball games is, you've seen one, you've seen 'em all." termined second half come-, back, were edged at the wire by St. Louis University, 77-72, before 7,630 fans at Kiel Auditorium.
