The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves scored first, triggering a cluster of trades in the very first inning Monday, and promised more swinging this week. "We will still try to make another trade or two," said Philadelphia Manager Danny Ozark after obtaining pitcher Ron Schueler from Atlanta for shortstop Craig Robinson and pitcher Barry Lersch.

The first trade was announced a half- hour before the annual winter draft which signaled the official start of the December extravaganza. And the explosive deals thai followed the Phillies-Braves announcement reflected 'a similar to last year's affair at Honolulu, when a record 67 players were traded in 20 deals. In all, 10 major league players were swapped in four trades Monday, after the Phillies and Braves completed their announcement, these deals were revealed: --The Oakland A's sent Horacio Pina to the Chicago Cubs for Bob Locker in a trade of right-handed relief pitchers. --The Houston Astros dealt reliever Jim Ray and utility inflelder Gary Sutherland to the Detroit Tigers for right-handed pitcher Fred Scherman. --The Chicago White Sox received Mexican League righthanders Francisco Barrios and Manuel Lugo from the Jalisco club for infielder Rudy Hernandez, who moved from Iowa in Weiskopf Wins South African PGA JOHANNESBERG (AP) Tom Weiskopf has upped his 1973 winnings to more than $375,000 by winning the rain- delayed South African PGA championship.

Weiskopf shot a three-underpar 67 Monday for a 72-hole total of 273. Weiskopf, who started the day tied for the lead with South Africa's Vince Baker at four under, clinched the victory with five birdies on the back nine. Baker finished three strokes back in second place at 276, and Noel Hunt of Britain was third at 277. South African star Gary Player, who began the day just two shots off the pace, shot a final round of 72 to fade to Hfth place at even-par 280. who said after the final round his last eight holes were his best, starteoUhe back nine with a bogey on Lafauci of State, guard Bill Yoest of North Carolina State, running back Roosevelt Leaks of Texas and wide receiver Lynn Swann of Southern California.

They are, from top left, back Artimus Parker of Southern California, linebacker Randy Gradishar of Ohio State, middle guard Lucious Selmon of Oklahoma, linebacker Rod Shoate of Oklahoma, back Jimmy Allen of UCLA, and, from bottom left, tackle Dave Gallagher of Michigan, tackle John Dutlon of WHIU Maryland Nebraska, end Pat Donovan of Stanford, linebacker Richard Wood of Southern California, back Mike Townsend of Notre Dame and end Randy White Maryland. (AP Wirephoto) the American Association to Mexico. --The Astros traded Cecil Upshaw to the Cleveland Indians for Jerry Johnson in an exchange of relievers. Pitching, which is theoretically the dominating factor in baseball, was the dominating commodity Monday.

Every trade involved a pitcher and the Phillies naturally thought they got a pretty good one. Schueler, who became a starter for Atlanta halfway through the 1973 season, had an 8-7 won-lostrecord and a 3.87 earned run average. Lersch, a reliever and spot starter, had a 3-0 record and 4.41 ERA. Robinson batted .226 for the Phillies after being called up in midseason. Locker, who reportedly refused to play for the Cubs for personal reasons, was dispatched to the World Champion A's not long after the first trade of the busy day.

The right-hander, who once pitched in an Oakland uniform, compiled a more impressive record than Pina last season a 10-6 won-lost mark with a 2.55 ERA. Scherman was the No. 1 relief pitcher in Detroit before John Killer took over last year. Scherman had a 2-2 record with a 4.23 ERA and one save in 1973. Ray was 6-4 with six saves in Houston while Sutherland, a superb defensive second baseman, batted .294 at Denver of the American Association.

Upshaw split last year with Atlanta and Houston, posting a 2-4 record 4.93 ERA and one save. Johnson, a former National Leaguer with Philadelphia, St. Louis and San Francisco, had a 5-6 record, G.18 ERA and five saves. the parfour 10th. Then he birdied the llth, paired the 12th, and pulled away with four consecutive birdies beginning on the 13th hole.

Weiskopf, of Columbus, Ohio, earned $9,000 for his victory. The money does not count toward official earnings on the PGA tour in the United States, but il, nevertheless, is spendable.

Ill Ohio State-Newark 97, Wright Stale- Celina 74 i' Dave Gallagher Selected To AP's All-America College Grid Team NEW YORK (AP) The first freshman in 29 years tailback Tony Dorsett of Pittsburgh and three repeaters Randy Gradishar and John Hicks of Ohio State and Richard Wood Southern California have been named to The Associated Press All- America college foolball team for 1973. The 5-foot-ll, 175-pound Dorsett finished as the nation's second leading rusher with 1,586 yards in 11 games as Pitt posted its first winning record in 10 years and first bowl bid since 1950.

The last freshman to win first-team honors was fullback Doc Blanchard of Army in 1944. Blanchard was an Ail- American three limes but graduated from West Point in three years under an accelerated war-time course of study and was not on hand to play as a Joining Dorsett in the backfield are fullback Roosevelt Leaks of Texas and tailback John Cappelletli of Perm State, who finished fourth and fifth in the national rushing statistics, and quar-. terback David Jaynes of Kansas, who set six Big Eight Conference passing records. The AP All-America team will appear on the Bob Hope Special on NBC- TV Dec. 9 at 9 p.m., EST.

Besides the backs and offensive tackle Hicks, the offensive team con- sists of wide receiver Lynn Swann of Southern California, tight end Andre Tillman of Texas Tech, tackle Buddy Brown of Alabama, guards Tyler Lafauci of Louisiana State and Bill Yoest of North Carolina State and center Bill Wyman of Texas. Joining linebackers Gradishar and Wood on the defensive learn are ends Pat Donovan of Stanford and Randy White of Maryland, tackles John Dutton of Nebraska and Dave Gallagher of Michigan, middle guard Lucious Selmon of a a linebacker Rod Shoate of Oklahoma and secondary men Jimmy Allen of UCLA, "Artimus Parker of Southern California and Mike Townsend of Nutre Dame. The team is composed of freshman Dorsetl, 1C seniors and five juniors -Wood, Leaks, Donovan, White and Shoutu. Dorsett is unquestionably the greatest freshman running back in history. His 1,586 yards smashed the previous best by a freshman 1,291 by New Mexico State's Po James in 1908.

His 265 yards against Northwestern in his third varsity game was the best performance ever by a freshman and his 209 yards against nationally ranked Notre Dame were the most ever allowed by a Notre Dame team. Penn State Coach Joe Paterno calls Cappelletti "the best player I've ever been around." The carried 286 limes for and 10 touchdowns and also caught 22 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown. a bone-crunching 220-pounder, led Texas to its sixth consecutive Soulh- wesl Conference championship with a league record 1,415 yards, including a brilliant 342-yard game against Southern Methodist, only eight yards shy of the national one-game mark. Jaynes completed 172 of 330 passes for 2,131 yards and 13 touchdowns and was intercepted only nine times, one of the best interception ratios ever. His finest performance came in a 28-27 loss to nationally ranked Tennessee when he connected on 35 of 58 passes for 394 yards.

He holds every Kansas passing mark but one. Southern Cal Coach John McKay calls receiver-kick returner Swann "as valuable to us as Johnny Rodgers was to Nebraska. In our offense, he is called on to run, block and catch passes and he is excellent at all three." Tight end Tillman is a 6-5, 230- pounder equally adept at blocking or receiving. The offensive interior linemen -Hicks, Brown, Yoest and Wyman are great blockers. In fact, Ohio State's Woody Hayes calls Hicks "the best offensive lineman I have ever coached," including Hall of Famer Jim Parker.

The most notorious names on the defensive unit are Selmon, teammate Slioate and Wood. Coach Barry Swilzer calls Selmon "the greatest down lineman we've ever had here, and we've had some really great ones." Shoate, according to Switzer, "looks like one of those guided missiles he's got the ballcarrier. He's intelligent and a great open-field tackier. And he's mean." Shoale also is the fastest man on the Oklahoma team in a 40-yard dash. Wood called defensive signals as a sophomore for Southern Cal's national champs last season and McKay termed him "the best linebacker I've had at this stage of his development.

He has great strength and quickness and is fast as most backs." Townsend of Notre Dame was the ration's leading interceptor last year. Thisseason, teams avoidedhis area but against Pitt, for example, he broke up two sure touchdown passes in the end zone and tackled Dorsett after a 65-yard run to save still another score. Parker of USC topped the Pacific-8 Conference with eight interceptions, making him one of the nation's leaders. He returned-the eight steals for 100 yards and he holds the conference career record of 20 interceptions. Notre Dome Sets Up 'Super' Sugar Bowl With Third Place AP Ranking By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame climbed into lliird place in The Associated Press ralings today, setting up a super Sugar Bowl meeting on New Year's Eve between the nation's two highest ranking eligible bowl teams.
