'11 i 0W BY ROSS NEWIIAN Times Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO Juan Marshal won his 20th victory as San Francisco defeated the Dodgers, 5-4, on a gray Saturday in Candlestick Park. The frustration of the losers is mirrored in the standings. The Dodgers are now 212 games behind the Giants, who play six of their remaining 10 games against San Diego, the team that is last in the National League West. Marichal will start three, or, perhaps, four more times. He overcame a yield of 10 hits to register his 26th complete game, besting Bill Singer, who allowed all of the San Francisco runs in the fourth inning.

The fifth and the winning run was driven in by a pinch-hitter named Willie Mays after Hal Lanier, with a .228 average, landed the pivotal blow, a single with the bases loaded. It was a game of emotions, as are all the games between the Dodgers and Giants, and the mental variable is intensified when Juan Antonio Marichal is pitching. When it was over, Marichal called the Dodgers "dummies," and his charge was answered by the quiet man, Dodger manager Walter Alston. Marichal's allegation stemmed from events that followed his bean-ing of Willie Davis in the third inning of a game at Candlestick Park on July 19. Davis promised publicly that if given the opportunity he would "get" Marichal, terming the beaning as "deliberate." Saturday Was their first confrontation since that day in July and Willie Davis played only because Juan Marichal was pitching.

The center fielder is hobbled by injuries to both legs and he also awoke Saturday with a sore back. However, Davis insisted on playing. "I want a crack at that said Davis, referring to Marichal. "If Willie wants to play that badly," said Alston, "I'm not going to stop him." Davis grounded out in the first inning and again in the third, but in the fifth he hit a two-run home run to leave the Dodgers trailing, 5-4. Dramatically, he was up again in the ninth, with two out and the tying run at second, and he hit.

the ball sharply, but it was directly at second baseman Ron Hunt, who converted the final out. "My eyes," said Marichal later, Please Turn to Page 6, Col. 1 Wild, Wild West NATIONAL LEAGUK Western Division S5 85 82 80 fins 60 70 7' ret. .553 .556 .543 GEL San Francisco Atlanta Los Angeles Cincinnati a 4 6 Houston 78 San Diego 13 104 Complete Standings on Page 2 new 0 wicmcnd oeanodii wirtlS DIG USC Edges 'Huskers, 31-2' Bruins Romp Again, 42-8 0 Jones and Davis Show Way Over Tough Nebraska UCLA 'Bombs' Improved Pitt for Second Win i rn ir r' -J 1 4 i I tf 1 Ui.

21, 1969 BY JEFF PRUGH Timet Staff Writer LINCOLN, Neb. Maybe it wasn't really wishful thinking to believe that the Cardiac Kids had graduated that the USC Trojans just might haul, off and demolish somebody for a change. After all, they had piled up a cozy 2S-7 lead over Nebraska's Cornhus-kers through three quarters here Saturday afternoon, and all those frightening)- narrow escapes of 1968 seemed as far away as the first Princeton-Rutgers game 100 years ago. 1 But, just as sure as O. J.

Simpson is running for Buffalo, the Trojans had to squirm and scramble for then-lives again. They had to withstand a furious fourth-quarter Nebraska passing attack before coming away from the heat and din of Memorial Stadium with a 31-21 victory, their first of college football's centennial season. McKay Cites Poor Play "We played poorly." said coach John McKay in the subdued Trojan dressing quarters. "But we played well enough to win." Indeed the Trojans did. But then, beating a physical team like Nebraska on its own terrain and before a roaring overflow crowd of 67,058 wasn't supposed to be easy, anyway.

And it might not have happened if L'SC hadn't gotten maximum mileage from its two most celebrated newcomers since Simpson an ailing quarterback. Jimmy Jones, and tailback Clarence Davis, who had to fight off dizzy spells most of the day. Jones, the slender sophomore from Pennsylvania, furnished the firepower, unleashing two touchdown passesone of them a 45-yard bomb to flanker Bob Chandler and the other a four-yard bullet to fullback Charlie Evans moments after nailing Sam Dickerson on a 42-yard sideline pass. He completed of 16 passes for 164 yards and played the entire game despite the recurring pain in his lower back. He also committed mistakes expected of anybody making his varsity debut one of them a second-quarter fumble that set up Please Turn to Page 8, Col.

The Bruins scored their second victory of the 1069 season at the Coliseum, muzzling the Panthers, 42-8, before a crowd of 35.258. Pitt now has lost to the Bruins five straight times.

The Panthers, however, were respectable Saturday night, even if the score wasn't. That might SOUND facetious. After all, the Bruins scored twn touchdowns in each of the first two quarters and led. 28-8, at halftime. But Pitt did a good job of coping with the ground phases of UCLA's new triple option offense.

They couldn't handle the passing, or the passer, quarterback Dummit. Dummit, continuing to embellish a growing reputation as a skilled, polished leader, threw for three touchdowns, set up another with a pass and even ran for one. UCLA's offensive line, potent again, offered him excellent protection and for the most part he just stood there calmly and dissected the Panthers' pass defense. 71 -Yard Return Fol- a while Saturday night, it, looked as if this was going to be the same, tame Panther that purred for UCLA last year, 63-7. Ron Carver, the sophomore sensation, ran the game's opening kickoff back 71 yards before Jeff Barr caught him from behind at the Pitt 22.

Dummit threw 18 yards to wingback George Farmer and Mickey Cureton scooted around end from the 3 to score. But if DePasqua, the former Pitt back and Steeler assistant coach, hasn't constructed much efficiency in the Panther operations yet. he has instilled more than a little moxie in his players. They didn't will even a little l't after UCLA's early explosion. Instead, they came back on a 69-yard march.

Defending champion Bruce McLaren and former world driving champion Denis Hulme, the most successful 1-2 team in motor racing, will display their twin talents in the $70,000 Times Grand Prix at Riverside International Raceway on Sunday, Oct. 26. McLaren and Hulme have so dominated the $1 million Canadian-American Challenge Cup series that they have finished first and second in six of the seven races run. Hulme, last year's Can-Am series winner, has won four times and McLaren three.

What's the Formula? Each time they have taken the checkered flag the winner has been queried as to how they determine which car, No. 4 (McLaren) or No. 5 (Hulme) should win. Both have evaded the question while continuing to spin their orange-colored, winged McLaren racing cars out in front of the field of international drivers on racing circuits from St. to Elkhart Lake, Wis.

During the victory ceremony last Sunday at Bridgehampton, N.Y., Hulme turned to reporters and finally answered the inevitable question: "Bruce said we could have it out when we reached Riverside."
