But Jon Lunde, he just can't stop hitting. Even against the hardest throwing pitcher the Winona LeJetz nave seen this season. Monday night, before some 500 exuberant fans at Gabrych Park, Lunde did it all, again. As a result, the LeJetz collected a thrilling eighth-inning 3-2 triumph that boosted their overall record to 20-5 the seventh time in the last 12 years they've won at least 20 games and clinched championships In both the Southern Minnesota American Legion League and the First District American Legion League. The LeJetz are now 10-1 In grimly as Ehmke got pinch hitter Al Gora and Dave Rcndahl out on called third strikes before Lenoch's error gave the LeJetz a second lease on life.

"I just knew Ehmke would balk. "I wanted Ehmke to see Lunde going home, that's why I sent him so early. I knew it would shake Ehmke up. And he threw it way wide anyway." Coach Strey, whose squad had won the last two meetings with the LeJetz, both on one-run decisions, commented on the Intentional walk to LeVasseur. "With a walk, there's a force play at any base," he noted, "plus the next batter hadn't hit for them all night.

As winners of the First District title for the third straight year, the LeJetz will get a first-round bye in the double elimination sub-district playoffs slated to start at Owatonna Saturday. So what did Lunde do this time? With the help of teammate Bruce LeVasseur, he broke a scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the sixth inning. Lunde poked his second broken bat single of the night, stole second and came home on LeVasseur's two-out bloop double which was was rapped with the loss, wnicn lowered Austin's overall record to 10-4 and its First District mark to 6-4.

I didn't see anyone else around that I knew as I walked out. Lo and behold! I wouldn't have to walk back to the motel, a distance of four or five miles.

There was Chuck and his rented, air-conditioned car just leaving. Screaming at the top of my lungs I raced after them with with a burst of speed (would you believe 10 flat in the 60? I wouldn't either.) still carrying the typewriter. But nobody heard. And nobody stopped. I stopped, though, gasping a last breath, as I thought they were pulling out of the parking lot.

But they had to stop for a red light fortunately, and from somewhere I found enough of a last-ditch effort to reach the car, pound on the top and stumble into the door just before they were about to pull away thinking this was a hijack on the ground. Nothing spectacular, except Claire and Chuck and Dick and WSC Coach Gary Grob haven't forgotten it to this day.

Devine also said he foresaw the pros making limited use of the quarterback options and Wishbone formations that have altered the offense in collegiate football. "I thing you are going in we some teams use the Wishbone in goal-line situations," he said.

"I don't think you'll see a By MIKE O'BRIEN 1 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Dan Devine, entering his second season as coach of the Green Bay Packers, said Monday he was not satisfied with the job he did in 1971 when the Packers finished with a 4-8-2 record. He said he set as primary goals for 1972 improved quar-terbacking and a better pass rush, but indicated some disappointment with his progress. On the brink of his second season as coach of the team which Just five years ago came off three straight National Football League champion would try a 17th season with the Packers, looks "in better shape that he's been in a long time, and he's one of the few people on this team who really knows what it is to win." "It would be very simple to remove Starr's name from the roster, but that could affect the team in a hundred different ways," Devine said. "We're the third youngest team in the league, and most of our players have never really competed for a championship.

I believe Bart's contribution to this team can be very significant, both on and off the field." Devine said quarterback Scott Hunter should profit from a year's experience, "and I think he has a fine future." He noted a third quarterback, No. 1 draft choice Jerry Tagge, got faith in your players and faith in the coaching staff, you'll win a lot of those 13-10 and 17-14 games," he said. "I think everybody coming in right now wants to win so bad he can taste it, and I think we've got good football players." Devine declined to say whom he would start at quarterback if he had to play a scheduled season opener against Cleveland today. The Packers' passing efficiency declined sharply last year, with 121 completions in 25d attempts while having 24 intercepted. "We've got to Improve our protection, simplify our passing game, and cut down on interceptions," he said.

"I know that will happen, and the guy who will do that will play." Devine said quarterback Bart tually the same as winning two national championships." He conceded Tagge was relatively unimpressive in the recent Coaches All-Star game, but predicted he would perform much better in the College All-Star game next month, when he will play under his coach at Nebraska, Bob Devaney. Devine indicated an improved defensive line depends in large measure on the performance of such rookies as linebackers Dave Pureifory and Eric Pat-ton, and second-year men Smith and Jim DeLisle. He said if Pureifory could come through at right linebacker, defensive end Aldcn Roche might be switched to the left side with Clarence Williams, the regular left defensive end most of last year, switched to tackle. Linebacker Fred Carr also 13 previous seasons at the Uni-1 versity of Missouri had forged one of the greatest records in the college coaching ranks. "But I feel I'm much bettor prepared to evaluate this year," he said.

"A year ago. at our spring camp in Arlington, Texas, I hadn't really had a chance to evaluate our personnel and I couldn't believe what we saw there our fastest man had only 4.7 speed in the 40, and one of our best backs is only 5.2." "But I've got faith in our players this year, and faith in our coaching staff," Devine told a news conference at the Packers' annual golf outing for the media. "I've been around long enough to know you've got to have other things, but if you've WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ships, Devine indicated both assey Ferguson problems still remain to be steady diet of it, but I'm sure there's going to be more of it."

"We fell asleep out there," commented Jones afterward. "We choked," moaned Walski. Sutter, who plays out of Haz-eltine, site of the 1970 U.S.
