Sunday, Sept. 27, 1964 Stottlemyre Blanks Nats, Out-Hits Them WASHINGTON (AP) Rookie right-hander Mel Stottlemyre outhit Washington Saturday, stroking five hits while allowing only two, as the American League leading New York Yankees defeated the Senators 7-0 and extended their winning streak to 11 games. The victory, tying the longest winning streak in the majors' this season, trimmed the Yankees' magic pennant-clinching number to four. Any combination of Yankee triumphs and losses by the runners-up will bring New York its fifth straight pennant. Stottlemyre, winning his fifth straight game and ninth against two defeats, collected all singles, including one that drove in two runs as the Yankees put the game away in the second inning with a six-run outburst.

Baltimore Holds On By Beating Indians CLEVELAND (AP) Baltimore, battling to stay alive in the American League pennant race, beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3 Saturday as the Orioles' Russ Snyder, Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson each hit solo homers. Veteran Milt Pappas notched his 16th victory against six defeats but needed help. The Indians closed the gap to 5-3 in the eighth with a two-run rally but Hall ended the threat. Baltimore jumped on rookie Luis Tiant, 9-4, for two runs in the first inning. With one out, Snyder smacked his first homer of the season and Powell followed with his 37th.

In the fourth, the Orioles made it 3-0. Sam Bowens led off a single, stole second and raced home on catcher Charley Lau's double. They added their fourth run in the sixth on Robinson's 27th homer and picked up an unearned tally in the seventh. Max Alvis singled in the fifth, advanced on John Romano's Open Friday Nights 'til 8:30 Men's Ivy or Regular Slacks double and scored on Vic Daval- illo's sacrifice fly. Cleveland knocked out Pappas in the eighth.

Romano led off with a double and scored on Davalillo's double. Pinch-hitter Bob Chance drove in Davalillo with a sacrifice fly off Hall.

The only other hit was Don Zimmer's single in the first. A procession of Senators' relievers held the Yankees scoreless after the second except for Joe Pepii one's 27th home run in the seventh inning.

The Yankees sent 12 men to the plate in the second against loser Claude Osteen and two successors. Elston Howard started it with a walk, and the bases were loaded after Tom Trcsh singled to center and Pepitone was hit by a pitch. Clete Boyer doubled home two runs, and Stottlemyre blooned a single to right, scoring two more. Dave Stenhouse relieved Osteen, and with one out reloaded the bases on a single by Bobby Richardson and a walk to Roger Maris. Mickey Mantle popped up, but Stenhouse then walked Howard and Tresh, forcing in two runs.

Steve Ridzik ended it by fanning Pepitone.

HBP--By Pappas (Wagner). A Auburn Pressed By Upset-Minded Vols In 3-0 Win BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -The Auburn Tigers, frustrated for three quarters by a rugged defense and stifling penalties, shook loose for a last-quarter field goal and a 3-0 football victory over upset-minded Tennessee Saturday. Don Lewis kicked the three- pointer from 42 yards out with 4:56 left. Neither team sparkled offensively in its Southeastern Conference opener.

Only once did the vaunted Auburn twosome of quarterback Jimmy Sidle and fullback Tusker Frederickson show any of the offensive power which made the Tigers prohibitive favorites. Midway in the final quarter, Auburn started a drive on its 32. Frederickson snapped through the line for 13 yards and a first down on two plays. Penn Wins PHILADELPHIA (AP) Penn's Barry Ellman returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown and the Quakers held on in the second half for a 13-6 football victory over Lehigh at Franklin Field.

The victory left the White Sox in a tie for second place, four games behind the American League leading New York Yankees. Peters, who has lost eight games, needed Hoyt Wilhelm's relief help when the Athletics scored their runs in the seventh on a homer by Ed Charles ant doubles by Nelson Mathews and Doc Edwards.

(AP) -Noire Dame launched its bid to regain national football prestige under new coach Ara ParBeghi- an by crushing Wisconsin 31-7 Saturday with a hard-hitting defense and the sharp-shooting of unheralded quarterback John Huarte.

The Old Dominion is unique in that she has two open championship golf tournaments each year. One is conducted by the ama teur-operated Virginia State Gol Association and the other is en gineered by the Virginia Associa tion of Golf Professionals. Strange and Hooper finishe one-two in each of the opens this year. Tom won the VAGP title over the Cavalier Yacht and Gol Club course at Virginia Beach while Herb took the VSGA cham pionship over the Princess Anne Country Club course in Ports mouth.

Wisconsin mounted its lone scoring surge at the outset of the second half. Hal Brandt broke away from a tremendous rush and passed 45 yards to Jimmy Jones for the touchdown.

Notre Dame, which grudgingly surrendered a single yard on the ground in the first two periods, promptly took charge again. Denied an additional three points on Ivan's wide field goal attempt, the Irish pushed the Badgers back, forcing a 1 weak punt. Starting on the Wisconsin 29, the Irish roared to a touchdown, Joe Kantor bulling one yard into the end zone on the first play of the final quarter. Huarte, a senior who saw only 46 minutes of action last year, directed a 45-yard touchdown march the next time Notre Dame had the ball. Bill Wolski scored from two yards out.

After a pass interception, its fourth in the game, Notre Dame moved 89 yards for another touchdown in the closing minutes, Huarte firing a strike to Snow for the final 42 yards. Snow bauled down nine Huarte passes for 217 yards, shattering the Notre Dame record of 208 yards by Jim Morse against Southern California in 1955. The Badgers, who defeated Kansas State 17-7 last week, finished with a net loss of 51 yards. NEW FORMAT FOR LADIES The a for this year's women's championship tournament at Lee Park is expected to prove much more popular than the long, drawn-out match-p 1 a event won last year by Mrs Helen Parker. This will be a two-day, 36-hole stroke-play tourney with a $5 entrance fee taking care of greens fees and trophy costs.

The first 18 holes will determine the classification in which each contestant will compete. According to Lee Park Pro D. A. Barnes, who is setting up the ladies event for October 15 and 16, no more than eight strokes should separate the contestants as they tee off in nights for the final IB holes. Interest in golf among women has increased rapidly here and a large field is expected this year.

BRICKWOOD GOLFERS WIN Brickwood Golf Association swingers took a one-sided decision from Richmond's duPont plant linksmen yesterday over the Dimviddie County course. Robert Baxter for the Brickwood and Gene Thomas of du- Pont won low net honors with three-over-par rounds of 71. Villanova Downs Holy Cross, 32-0 WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) Dandy Dave Connell, a rare all- purpose quarterback, accounted for two touchdowns, set up a third with an interception and made a score-saving tackle in Villanova's 32-0 football victory over sputtering Holy Cross Saturday. The outcome, spoiling the inaugural of Dr.

Eddie Anderson's 39th and last head coaching season, might have been more lopsided but Connell was badly shaken up early in the third quarter. The Havertown, junior came up with a masterful third down, 16-yard touchdown pass play to Emmett Michaels which broke the ice in the first quarter. Dick Sernyak had just recovered an Earl Kirmser fumble at the Crusader 19. Giants And Cubs Are Rained Out CHICAGO A Rain caused postponement of Saturday's San Francisco Giant-Chicago Cub game and it will be played as part of a doubleheader Sunday. Game time Sunday was moved up to 32 noon, CDT, in order to get the two games completed before darkness in lightless Wrigley Field.

Sunday is the last scheduled home appearance for the Cubs. If Sunday's play is erased by weather, it is possible the games will be made up next weekend when the Cubs are in San Francisco. The Giants are in thick of the National League pennant race, only 3V4 games behind the pacesetting Philadelphia Tulsa Is Beaten By Razorbacks FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Linebacker Ronnie Caveness ran back an intercepted pass for one touchdown and recovered a fumble which led to another score, starting Arkansas to a 3122 football victory over Tulsa Saturday. Tulsa was leading 14-0 on the passing of quarterback Jerry Rhome when Caveness intercepted wingback Eddie Fletcher's pass at the Tulsa 12 in the second quarter and raced for a touchdown.

Immediately after the kickoff, Caveness recovered Rhome's fumble and three plays later Tom McKnelly kicked a 44-yard field goal for Arkansas. The Hurricanes led 14-10 at halftime, but their early surge was squelched by Caveness' work. The senior linebacker was credited with eight unassisted tackles and seven assists in the game. In the second half, Arkansas seized three short Tulsa punts-of six, 12 and 10 yards--and punched for quick touchdowns to race ahead. Quarterback Bill Gray passed 22 yards to end Jerry Lamb for one touchdown, wingback Jim Lindsey raced 41 yards for another and Gray sneaked one yard for the third.

Trojans Open With Win Over Del. State, 8-6 A two-point conversion after a quick first quarter touchdown proved to be the winning margin for Virginia State as the Trojans successfully opened their season by edging Delaware State here yesterday, 8-6. Defense was responsible for both scores as the Virginians tallied on a jarring tackle which resulted in an end zone fumble that burly tackle Bob White fell on. Delaware end Charles Graham scored the six-pointers for the Ho'rnets or. a blocked punt.

The visitors' try for a running conversion was not good. The initial score, which came with less than five minutes gone in the game, was the result of spirited defensive play.

Bobby Wingo took Ed Golder's handoff into the end zone for the two-point conversion. Graham, who put plenty of sting in a torrid, blistering second quarter Hornet defensive blitz, was personally responsible for Delaware's touchdown. The freshman flanker threw Virginia State quarterback Mel Swann for two consecutive 17-yard losses. Graham then blocked Swann's punt on Virginia's 30, recovered it on the 24 and scored standing up. Delaware's deepest third quarter penetration ended when Jimmie Strong fumbled on the Virginia Slate one and the ball rolled into the end zone.

The Trojans took over on the Delaware 20. The Warriors opened the final period with a strong drive which started on the Delaware State 34, but bogged at the visitors' four after Virginia had penetrated to the one.

Within two minutes, Staubach had the Middies on the scoreboard again, completing three straight passes to halfback Ed Orr and end John Mickelson after Navy had recovered an Indian fumble at the William Mary 25. Staubach, still limping from a leg injury received in the Penn State opener one week ago, then returned to the Navy bench and third stringer Felix Bassi finished the game at quarterback. Paskewich shared game honors with Slaubach. He darted 25 yards for Navy's first touch- down midway in the first quarter in addition to his fourth period sprint. Burce Bickel, a junior from Fairmont, W.

started the game in place of Staubach.
