"Our kids really stayed in there and fought. The kids, did all that we asked them; We were strong offensively in the first half. "Ron Barron and the entire defensive line did a whale of a job. Steve Moran did a good job and basically the defense was sound but we made some errors.

Quarterback Greg Weav er turned in a strong perform-i ance. "The toys knew that in the second half they were in a ball game. I'm just so pleased with the desire and the determination and fight that we had. We are not about to get beaten when we put out a 100 per cent; effort. "We are going to have to work hard on pass defense but I feel that we have never met a team that was better than they were." Womack conclud ed.

Marti Gelberger tie for Seattle golf lead SEATTLE (UPI) Greater Seattle Open Golf Tournament took a recess Saturday with rookie Fred Marti and veteran Al Geiberger tied for the lead at 199 after three rounds, the lowest 54-hole trial on the pro circuit this year.

The final round will be played Sunday. Officials didn't overlook Saturday's University of Washington Baylor football game when they set the date for the $40,000 tourney. They knew parking conditions would be impossible for golf fans competing with a sellout crowd of 56,000 football fans in generally the game area. So, the 63 pros who survived Friday's cut at 211, one-over- par, could take their choice Saturday practice or go to the football game. a planned to do both.

Marti, Houston, and Gei berger, Carlton Oaks, Calif, each came in with a four-under- par 66 Friday. Marti, only 23, and earning better than $1,000 a-month in less than six months as a pro, got his round on a mixture of seven birdies, three bogeys and eight pars. Geiberger, one of the steadiest players in pro golf, needed but four birdies and a bogey-free round. The two leaders were only a stroke ahead of Dudley Wysong McKinney, who had a third-round 65 and a 200 total Chuck Congdon, 53-year-old pro from Tacoma, Wash, played the most spectacular round of the day, an eight-under- par 62, which equalled the modern-day record for tournament play on the 6-328-yard Broadmoor Golf Club course. Tommy Jacobs, missing the Seattle Open this year because of a bout with flu, established the record two years ago.

OH. "Little kid that lives here has a terrific sense of humor!" TRENTON, N.J. auto racing champion A. J. Foyt was set to switch to a rear-engine Offenhauser when he competes in the 200 mile USAC-FIA classic on the one-mile paved Trenton speedway Sunday.

The Houston tornado will forsake his roadster for a new racer rushed air-freight from California for the third annual test, which will field 26 topflight speedsters. Race director Sam" Nunis said George Bignotti, the me chanical wizard who has kept Foyt on top for the past four years, told him "our luck can't hold out forever." Nunis said Bignotti noted that six drivers using rear-engine Offenhausers already had been signed for the race. In the Trenton 150 here last July, Jim McElreatli, Rodger Ward and Bob Marshman, all in rear-engine cars, were running ahead of Foyt only to run into trouble which prevented them from finishing. Foyt went on to win. Foyt, who won the Indianapolis 500 last Memorial Day, will battle past Indy winners Parnelli Jones and Ward in the race, whose purse was expected to exceed last year's $40,000.

Jones will team up with 1963 world road-racing champion Jim Clark of Scotland in Lotus- Fords, similar to that of Pennsylvania's Bobby Marshman, who hit 160 miles an hour at Indianapolis. Ward will be in a Watson-Ford. McElreath, holder of the Trenton Speedway record of 113-plus miles an hour, also is entered. Others signed include Bob Harkey, Charlotte, N.C.; Florida's Jud Larson and Ralph Liquori, both of Tampa; Mario Andretti of Nazareth, and Chuck Arnold, Stamford, Conn. McElreath and fellow-Texan Lloyd Ruby will drive rear-engine cars, along with Len Sutton of Oregon; Roger McCluskey of Arizona; Johnny Rutherford of Texas and Bud Tinglestad of Ohio.

(Photo by Jim Sloan) Dan Gurney enters 200 mile Grand Prix Dan Gurney, considered by many of his auto racing colleagues as the No. 1 driver in the world today, is the latest entry for America's richest sports car race the seventh annual 200-mile Grand Prix for Sports Cars Sunday, Oct.

11 The $38,000 road race, in fact, is held in Gurney's own backyard, Riverside International Raceway. Gurney's official entry was announced today by Glenn Davis, chairman of the charity classic. The tall, blonde racer now becomes part of field that already includes Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Jim Hall, Parnelli Jones, John Surtees and Richie Ginther, all members of autosport's elite. The 33-year-old former Riverside College student actually will be bucking something of a jinx when he throttles his Pace setter Lotus-Ford around the 2.6-mile circuit. The race has managed to elude him for six years, usually due to a mechanical letdown by his machinery.

Nevertheless, this also is the race that was mot responsible for catapulting him into international Grand Prix racing as a member of the Ferrari team. Second in 1958 He finished second in the inaugural Roverside Grand Prix in 1958, driving a cumbrous 4.9 Ferrari. His brilliant performance caught the eye of Ferrari. Since that turning point in his career, he has become famous overseas, at Indianapolis and in American stock car racing. His chances at Riverside never appeared stronger.

During the past month, he shattered the existing lap record 18 times while running tire tests. He hammered the time down to 1 min. 30.3 sec, averaging nearly 104 m.p.h. The existing mark is 1 min. 31.9 sec, established by Hall in a Chaparral-Chevy last year.

"Our problem," said Gurney quite seriously at his Costa Mesa, workshop, "isn't so much, going fast, but trying to finish." He is mindful of past Riverside races, particularly 1962 when he overtook Roger Penske and appeared to have the race won when a 10-cent part (throttle-linkage) broke, sidelining him. LOS ANGELES Usually brash Dean Chance was the picture of modesty today as he shrugged off his 20th victory and 11th shutout- achieved in Friday night's 1-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. Chance, who found himself surrounded by reporters, preferred to talk about teammate Bobby Knoop. Knoop's sensational fielding play in the sixth inning averted what appeared to be a Minnesota run. "Never had I had anyone like Bobby play behind me.

He made the most incredible play ever made. I thought sure it was going to be a run," said Chance. I Dean was referring to the sixth inning. With Zorro Versalles at second, batter Jim Jim Hall hit a line drive headed for center field. Knoop ran to his right, leaped, made a backhand catch, then stopped on second to double off an amazed Versalles.

The Angels and Twins played again tonight, with Bill Kelso opposing Jim Grant of Minnesota. As for Dean's mound performance, it put him one step closer to winning the coveted Cy Young Award. Friday night's victory made Chance the first 20-game winner in the American League this year and gave him his 11th shutout, tops in the majors, and lowered his ERA to 1.59, lowest in the majors. It was his 15th complete game, most in the American League. And as if this wasn't enough, the 1-0 win was his fifth of the year by that score, to place him in a major league tie with such pitching greats as Ewell Russell of the Chicago White Sox, Walter Johnson of Washington, and Leslie Bush of the Boston Red Sox, all of the American League, and Carl Hubbell of the old New York Giants in the National League.

Steeplechase at Ascot The 1964 Grand. National championship of the American Motorcycle Assn. hangs in the balance tonight when 24 expert class finalists go over the jumps at Ascot Park in a 50-lap steeplechase, final event on the association's coast to coast calendar.

Both men were released by the Raiders earlier this season, Injuries plague Chargers, top players out By United Press International Sid Gillman is wearing the pained expression of a fighter who has been decked once and sees the same punch again.
