By BAY FITZGERALD Glob 8Uff BALTIMORE In the last month of the 1969 baseball season, Paul Blair of the Orioles swung the bat like somebody's grandmother. In the final nine games, overswinging and going for bad pitches, he was three for 40 and a very depressed young man. The slump was on Blair's mind as he came to the plate in the 12th inning yesterday in the first American League playoff game with- the Twins, The winning run was on third "with 1 two men but and when Blair swung wildly at a Ron Perranoski fast ball he knew the time had come for other strate-gy, So he bunted the next-pitch perfectly, Mark Be--langer scored, and the Oriohs went one on the Twins with- a 4-3 victory. "I made up my mind on the way to the plate," said Blair, "that I would take one swing and then bunt the ball. The way I've been hitting, I had to try something different." Blair's bunt was perfect, about five feet fair and 20 ORIOLES Page 92 By CL1F KEANE Globe Staff ATLANTA TheAma-xin' Mets went one up on the A-Messin' Braves here this afternoon in the best of ijive series, 'scoring five runs in the eighth inning to win 9-5.

But the 50,122 felt it was really one of the best away important ball games played in many years. The Braves gave up five unearned runs, and two others that were badly tainted. The win went to Tom Seaver, 2 5 -game winner over the year, and the 24-year-old right hander had won 10 in a row. Winning his 11th in a row was quite a gift and the pitcher knew it. He was rapped for two wicked home runs, by Tony Gonzales and by Hank Aaron, with the great slugger, Aaron, piling up his 45th of the year in a dramatic time the seventh inning to break a 4-4 tie.

The throng stood and ch madly METS Page 92 "The favored Orioles played Russian Roulette in a contest that suddenly became" thrilling and intriguing," Kaese writes on page 92 of today's Globe. the inning ended, people were asl-ing, 'who's managing the Orioles, Peter Sellers or' Red And not without reason." Yetten Leads B.U. 13-10 By arvai '(la By JERRY NASON oiebetn Unless subsequently challenged by the M.I.T. crew, Boston University stands the unqualified champion of the Charles River Basin today by virtue of its close-score, wide-margin and first-ever football victory over Harvard on yesterday's emerald and gold afternoon in the stadium. The Terriers won; 13-10.

Pete Yetten, formerly the ranking quarterback in the B.U. hierarchy, remained a witness to the first 30 minutes of play, in which Harvard led, 10 to 7, on Rick Szaro's field goal from the 12. In the second half, however, he was sent forth to get some action out of a B.U. offense which was running into a sticky-wicket Harvard defense. Baby, did Pete move 'em.

He moved 'em to one touchdown and to almost two more. He moved them 50 yards to the winning score at the top of the final quarter following a short Harvard kick, characteristic of the game. He' was "sitting" on the ball at the Harvard 30 when the game ended. It was Pete who rolled out and hurled the pass which halfback Gary Cape-hart captured alone in the right corner of the end zone for the score that invoked delirium among the Terrier partisans in the audience of 25,909. Obviously, he was the difference, the late entry who picked up a dog-eat- B.U.

Usually they come in training camp, but he came in late this year. We think this might be the reason he's having trouble now." Namath, called by Clive Rush "the best quarterback in the game today," admitted Tuesday that his legs hurt now more than ever. And time would indicate he wasn't just talking. On Thursday, Namath was bothered so much by his knee that he received his first cortisone shot of the season to relieve some of By will Mcdonough Glob Staff Joe Namath, despite all his knee problems, has never missed a regular-season game due to injury as a pro. And unfortunately for the Patriots, he will keep that record intact this afternoon at Boston College's Alumni Stadium.

"Joe is ready to start," said New York's head coach Weeb Ewbank. "He's had some knee problems this week, but we expect everything will be fine at game time. the pain. He also sat out practice that day. Yet even though they have more holes than Swiss cheese, the Jets are a 14-point favorite to hand the Pats their fourth straight regular season loss under Rush.

An intercepted pass launched this move and Willis finished it, scoring from the three. Tulane scored late in the second period on a 71 -yard, 10-play drive with Jim Batey, a hip-' clipping halfback, scoring from the five. Tulane owned the third period, getting a touchdown and a 26-yard field goal for its 17-14 lead.
