Times photnt br Art Roftn POPULAR GIBRALTAR SPORTSCRIPTS RAMS ROUT PITT, 49 6 By PAUL ZIMMERMAN TIMES SfORTS (DITOt 15 years. Not even a muddy field could stop the Rams from BV BILL SHIRLEY Times Staff Representative PITTSBURGH, Sept 20 Pittsburgh fans probably thought the Brooklyn Dodgers were back at Forbes Field today. For their team lost again, only this time it was the Pitts burgh Steelers, Who were belted something awful by the Los Angeles Rams, 49-6, to be exact in a National League exhibi tion game.

The only chance the 27,274 fans had to cheer was when it was announced that the Pi rates beat the Giants in New York, The Rams were superb as they continued their mysteri- ous mastery of the Steelers, who haven't beaten them in Pomona Fair Starts First I BY PAUL LOWRY, Times Staff Representative Rosewall, made a complete shambles of the U.S. Davis Cup team yesterday on the center court of the Los Angeles Tennis Club. The 5-foot 6-inch Aussie Whiz Kid edged out Defending Champion Vic Seixas of Philadelphia In a five-set thriller, 1-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, in the men singles finals of the 27th an nual Pacific Southwest Cham pionships. With only a few moments' rest, Rosewall returned to the center court with' Lewis Hoad to defeat Seixas and Tony Tra bert of Cincinnati in the men's doubles finals, 17-15, 6-3, 6-2. Beats Both Champs Thus on successive dayi Rosewall whipped the national champion, Trabert, and the Wimbledon winner, Seixas, and this U.S.

pair i3 expected -to carry the whole load in forthcoming Davis Cup competition. Doris Hart of Miami Beach and Shirley Fry of Akron, 0., monopolized the feminine finals. Doris recovered from a shaky start to trip Shirley in the singles finals, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Trabert Wedding During yesterday's Pacific Southwest finals it was announced that National Champion Tony Trabert would be married to Shuana Miss Utah, in Salt Lake City on Oct. 26.

Later they combined their talents to whip Louise Brough of Beverly Hills and Mrs. Thelma Long of Australia, 6-4, 7-5, for the women's doubles title. This Rosewall is an amazing little guy. His short 145-pound frame is capped by a shock of black hair and he weara a rather forlorn expression on his face. He could almost pass for one or the ball boys.

Amazing Youth But once the tennis ball starts bouncing it seems as if he has six legs, eight arms and a 5-foot racket. He scrambles after everything and turns spectacular recoveries into siz zling placements. It's hard to remember he's only 18 after watching him outslicker om9 of the foxiest players in the game. And he has the intestinal fortitude of a champion. The five-set struggle wifhV Seixas had it3 thriils and chills but the tension-packed final game was the real climax.

Rosewall needed to hold his not-too-severe serve te win the match and Seixas was ready to throw everything he had into an attempt to break the delivery. Complete silence settled over the capacity crowd of 4500 fans. Pressure Mounts Rosewall missed backhands on the first two points to trail love 30 and it looked like he might be cracking under the" pressure. But he charged the net and Seixas missed a fore hand and it was 15-30. Once again the Aussie attacked, but Vic closed into the forecourt to jolt a backhand volley past his foe for a 15-40 lead, one point away from the game that would square the match.

Then Rosewall came through in the clutch, winning four straight points and the match. He forced three straight errors off Seixas' forehand to gain the ad, then made good on the first match point with a smash after a desperate lunge by Vic sent up a short lob. Superior Backhand Rosewall's superior backhand probably decided the match. Most attacking shots were aimed in that direction. Seixas helped his own cause by land ing lob after lob within an inch or two of the baseline.

Rosewall won four games in a row to wrap up the first set after trailing 2-4. Seixas ripped off the first four games of the second set and coasted home at 6-1. They traded service breaks to open the third set and Vic collected the deciding break in the eighth game "to lead two sets to one at inter mission. The Aussie ace captured five games in a row to close out the fourth set at 6-1, thus set ting the stage for the climactic fifth set. Rosewall got a serv-Turn to Fage 4, Column 1 POMONA, Sept.

Experts who had expressed doubt that the 33-year-old San Diego (Cal.) swimmer could make the difficult eight-mile crossing immediately her the Iron Woman of Gibraltar. She beat the previous record held by a man by one hour and 53 minutes. Jorge Sugden of Argentina had made the crossing in six hours and 59 minutes in 1950. Happiest Woman Florence, the only woman to swim the English Channel both ways, said as she emerged from the surf on the northernmost point of Spanish Morocco: "I am the happiest girl in the world.

I said I would do it and I did." She made the first mile in 35 minutes. She was halfway across in two hours and only 400 yards from shore after four and a half hours. The first woman conqueror of Gibraltar's tough currents was Mercedes Gleitz of Britain who made it in 1928 in 13 hours and 42 minutes. Bright Sunshine Florence entered the water in bright sunshine. The water temperature was 68 deg.

Braves Set Attendance Mark, Split MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20 ffl Milwaukee wound up its first major league baseball season in half a century In a blaze of glory today as the fans set a new National League attend ance record and the Braves beat Cincinnati, 3-0, after losing the first game of a double- header, 5-3. Bonus Pitcher Joey Jay, making his first major league start, shut out the Red' legs in a six-inning game short ened by darkness before a crowd of 36,011. The 36,011 crowd, precise seating capacity of the stadium, gave the Braves a total of 1,826,397 fans for 64 home playing dates, breaking the league mark of 1,807,526 set by Brooklyn In 1947. The double-header concluded the club's home games for the year.

Jay, Middleton (Ct.) rookie who turned 18 this summer, struck out four and walked four to beat Joe Nuxhall in the 6-inning windup halted by darkness. Andy Pafko's two-run homer in the first over the 402-foot mark in dead center geld and Joe Adcock's long fly which scored Johnny Logan in the sixth accounted for the Braves' runs. Four unearned runs, gifts of Eddie Mathews, who booted a pair of ground balls, cost the Braves the opener, Tirst ttmt: Cincinnati AR 0 4401 MoMlUan.M i OIPMHlIMon.Of 133(1 0 1 fill Ruiur tno 3 0 3 0 Crwngrasi.lf 4 3 2 0 Brokwwki.rf 3 01 Patko.rf 411 Cranrtall.t ThoriM.lf Adcftck.lb Crow 4 2 4 0 3 0 0 0 MarehiOi.rf 1 0 0 0: 4 113 2 4 110 2 3 0 3 1 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 21 1.1 FoObltUn.a 4 0 1 01 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 oooo Gordon Jnhrnon.

SAVTXR: Touchdown What a wonderful relief it Is to go to football game and know what players re on the field.

This expression of satisfaction is not only ours but also that of many of the fans who liked their first peek at platoonless play. PARADE IS GONE That jammed parade of masses of substitutes was happily missing and those who complained that the offense would lack the spectacular and the scoring would be reduced certainly found nothing with which to confirm their greatest fears. As Coach Red Sanders of the Bruins expressed it on this point after his opening contest with Oregon State: "The team that has the players will score a lot, just as It did before." WILL LOOK SPOTTY Sanders, always an exponent of the single-platoon type of play, had this additional thought: 11 "It hardly would be fair to judge against single-platoon play this year, even If the scoring were down. "With a change as abrupt as this one was, all teams are apt to look spotty." He points out that it takes a number of years to build a team and the coaching staff well, sure, the alumni recruiters too were pointing toward teams of specialists and massed substitutions prior to last December. TAYLOR COMMENTS Kip Taylor, the Oregon State mentor who found himself in the anticipated position of fielding a team that took a bad pasting, made these observations: "We quickly discovered it is going to take a lot better physical condition of our players, especially teams like ours that run thin on replacements.

"The coaches are going to have to learn a few things too. We're going to have to learn to use our time outs better and watch our substitutions more carefully to get the best use out of the material we have. "I think the defense and the punting will become a bigger factor. A tight defense and a good punting game are going to make a lot of difference between two teams this fall." FASTER GAMES The Bruin-Beaver contest Friday night gave indication of speeded up play. The actual elapsed time of the con-' test was two hours and 18 minutes.

Under the two-platoon plan, it was a fast-mov- TODAY IN SPORTS HORSE RACING County Fairgrounds, Pomona, 12:30 p.m. BIKE RACING Interna tional Championships. Flying Saucer Velodrome, Burbank, 8 p.m. BOXING South Gate Arena, 8:30 p.m. WRESTLING Hollywood Legion Stadium, 8:30 p.

m. ICE SHOW Ice Follies. Pan- Pacific Auditorium, 8:30 p.m. ing contest that could be run off in two and a half hours. Because of the decided edge they held, the Bruins substituted freely and, as a result, most of the boys were quite fresh right up to the end.

Neither team had anyone play the entire game but Oregon State had several who played as much as 50 to 55 minutes. That seldom would have happened under the old system, even with a bench as short as that the Beavers possessed Friday night WHAT OF BRUINS? It is always tough to appraise a winning team when it opens the season with a comparative soft touch like Oregon State proved to be. The Bruins, however, certainly didn't look weak. While Coach Sanders was a bit disturbed about his line letting Oregon State get the early game jump, Dale Gentry, Washington State scout, thought the UCLA line showed a lot of quickness, especially on defense. Fred Marsh, Wisconsin spy, was impressed with the new Uclan backs.

He agreed with the others that Sanders has more depth in this department than a year ago depth in good talent. BEST IV WEST? Hub Ulrich scouted for Kansas and he said this was the best West Coast far, that the Jayhawkers will have met. Kansas' other opponents in recent years have been Loyola and Santa Clara. Sanders expressed the fear after the game that the fast Kansas line would cause his forwards trouble if they didn't snap out of the type of play they demonstrated against the Beavers. Ulrich agreed that KU has a veteran line but he thinks the Jayhawker backfield inexperience, especially defensively, will make Kansas visit here an unhappy one.

P.S. Any way you look at Friday night's tussje you have to conclude that both the Bruins and single-platoon football are here to stay. BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICA LEAGl Prt.

Towler scored another on a short plunge and generally made a nuisance of himself as he spec tacularly accumulated 151 yards. Bukich at Quarter Bukich incidentally, ably filled Van Brocklin's shoes the short time he was in the game, completing four out of seven passes and handling the ball effectively. The score could have been worse, for two otner Los An geles touchdowns were erased by penalties. In the second quarter a 32-yard scoring pass, Van Brocklin to Boyd, was called back and in the closing minutes Towler wasted a beautiful 80-yard run.

Ben Aga- janian kicked the seven extra points, with his usual aplomb. Meanwhile, the Rams' defen sive unit effectively bottled up everything the Steelers threw at them. Rookie Teddy Marchl-broda, pinch-hitting for the injured Jimmy Finks, particu larly had a oaa afternoon. He "completed" only four passes in the first half, and three of them were caught by Rams. The Rams amassed an awe some 537 yards, 279 coming on the ground.

Final Exhibition The game ended the exhibi tion season for both teams, Los Angeles finishing with a 4-2 record against National League opponents. Lewis fled 40 yards to Pittsburgh's 43 on a punt return to smooth the Rams' path to their first touchdown. -The Rams traveled the remaining distance in six plays, the key one being a 22-yard pass from Van Brocklin to Quinlan on the Steelers' 8.
