It turned out to be a split with Houston winning the opener 6-5 but the Cubs, headed by Williams, captured the nightcap 9 5. "Mr. as Joe Pepitone refers to him, was so well prepared that he whacked out eight straight hits including a home run in each game, drove in four runs and hiked his age 18 points to .328. were getting me out in Cincinnati on the slow stuff so I figured Houston would start me off the same way," said WilLiams.

"They threw the slow stuff the first two times and then after that I saw everything." Williams had a pair of singles, a and a sacrifice fly the opener. His homer came in the sixth inning and gave the Cubs a 3-2 lead but Houston struck for four runs in the seventh capped by Jim Wynn's two-run homer for the victory. Fred Milverstedt Never far removed, Chryst comes home It was nice last week to see George Chryst named assistant football coach at the University of Wisconsin. If history serves as a yardstick for the future, it looks like a good move for everyone concerned. When the announcement was made, it reminded me of a conversation I had some weeks back with Tom Shipley, the young Edgewood alumnus who led the UW baseball team in hitting last spring, earning for himself in the process the most valuable player award and the 1973 captaincy.

Another in a long line of local prep athletes who have gone on to make their mark at the University, Shippy was explaining the feeling of deep personal fulfillment that can be realized by a Madison boy who becomes a Badger. For Shippy, and many others like him, playing for Wisconsin is the culmination of a lifelong fantasy. Unlike most other athletes, who may come to the UW from far-flung places like Florida, New York City, or even Superior-often with little more motivation or incentive than scholarship and perhaps the opportunity for sound education-the Madison boy generally has a real stock in the school and its rich tradition. Few of them, in their youth, were ever very far from the University scene, and some of them, like Shipley, grew up in the shadow of Camp Randall Stadium, worshiping their cardinal and white-clad heroes and thrilling to the sound of "Varsity" from the time they were little tykes. Bolstered by this heritage of dedication, the sensation is all the sweeter when the day finally comes that they can don a Badger uniform and head forth unto the field of competition--a living part of the lore than have so long and faithfully attended.

Such is the case with Chryst, a man who not only realized his boyhood dream of playing football for the University but one who has 1 now extended it to the intercollegiate coaching arena. As in the case of Shipley (a boy he later coached at Edgewood), Chryst spent much of his early years within a few short blocks of the Stadium, sometimes whiling away the after-school hours on crisp fall afternoons by peeking at Harry Stuhldreher's Badgers through a hole in the tarpaulin that surrounded the practice field. After completing high school at Edgewood, where he gained All-City honors under the stern guidance of Earl Wilke, it was only natural that the husky blond continue his playing career at Wisconsin. A center, guard and linebacker for the Badgers, Chryst lettered at Camp Randall in 1957 and 1958. He received his B.S.

in Physical Education in 1960 (later adding a master's degree in Educational Administration) and shortly thereafter rejoined Wilke at Edgewood to assist with football and basketball coaching duties. He took over the basketball teams in 1963 when Dave Brown moved up to Wisconsin, and when Wilke retired in 1966, the prodigy and favorite son succeeded him as head football coach and athletic director. The implication aside of hometown boy making good, Chryst's credentials while coaching at Edgewood are impressive. Working at a private school with a small male enrollment and a limited budget, he compiled an overall football record of 43-10 in six seasons and a basketball standard of 138-47 until giving way to young Joel Maturi last year. In 1 two of those seasons -basketball in 1965 and football in 1971-he was named Coach of the Year.

Perhaps even more important, however, than his statistical credits are the style and manner in which he framed his coaching philosophy and the means in which he imparted it to the young men who played on his teams. Although some will contend that a few of Chryst's ideas- rooted firmly in the authoritative Wilkian tradition and the Christian principle- no longer be completely in step with the times, it could also be argued that a taste of his staunch disciplined ethic and constructive energy might act as a refreshing tonic of temperment for some of the more rambunctious hellions who currently make up John Jardine's pranks-loving squad. Deeply religious and no fancier of moral indiscretions, Chryst will undoubtedly bring with him to Camp Randall a marked touch of piety. The effects will be interesting. Between the two of them, Chryst and Wilke have helped to develop some pretty good men.

Whatever, his presence among the Badger ranks is notably gratifying, both for Chryst himself and the many local sports fans who have watched his steady rise in the coaching profession. Like other Madison athletes and coaches who have come to Wisconsin before him -Brown, Dave Vander Meulen, and Bob Brennan, to mention the most recent-the promotion should serve both the individual and the University in mutual accord.

THE CAPITAL TIMES SPORTS SCORES: WIRA 238-2801 WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1979 Ex- Brewer Pattin Has One-Hitter By KEN RAPPOPORT (Associated Press Sports Writer) The "Pattin" story unfolded in dramatic fashion at the land Coliseum. Marty Pattin was the firing bullets at the Oakland A's. Two outs away from a no-hitter, the Boston Red Sox pitcher finally surrendered a single Reggie Jackson before winning the battle 40 on a powerhouse hitter.

"I guess that's as close as ever come to a no-hitter." Pattin after Jackson's hit eluded second baseman Griffin in the ninth inning. The pitch that Jackson caught was a high fast ball "something on it." Pattin he'd throw it again in the same situation. In Tuesday's other American League contests, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Kansas City Royals 2-1 in 10 innings; the Detroit Tigers nipped Texas Rangers 6-5; the Chicago White Sox trimmed the Cleveland Indians 4-3: the New Yankees stopped the California Angels 7-3 and the Milwaukee Brewers turned back the Minnesota Twins 5-4. Using hard sliders and bails as his main weapons, Patcut down Oakland batters until the A's last stand. Rudi went down for Pattin's seventh strikeout to open ninth.

Then Jackson spoiled Pattin's no-hitter. "I guess this is the best game ever pitched," said Pattin, who received a standing ovation from the crowd of 5,539 when came to bat in the ninth. Pattin, obtained in a 10-player trade from Milwaukee during off-season, won his fourth straight game and improved record to 6-8 with the nearmasterpiece, fashioned on pitches. Carlton Fisk's 11th homer season gave Pattin a lead in the second inning. Red Sox added another in fourth on hits by Carl Yasr ze ki, Rico Petrocelli, walk and a forceout.

Hits by Yastrzemski, Petrocelli and Fisk produced another in the eighth and Boston added its final run in the ninth when Juan Beniquez tripled scored on a wild pitch. Tom Shopay walked with the bases loaded in a the 10th a inning, to forcing in the winning run Baltimore halted a five-gaine losing streak. Reliever Ken Wright, the Royals' second pitcher of the inning, gave game-ending walk after the Orioles had filled the bases on double by Brooks Robinson: and walks to Bobby Grich and Boog Powell.

Stanley's third homer (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) Lahoud's Homer Wins For Brews in 9th, 5-4 In the second game, he slammed a first inning double. clouted his 18th homer and added three singles to fall one hit short of the major league record of nine hits in a doubleheader shared by eight players. "If we hadn't had a man on third base the last time I batted in the first game and hit a sacrifice fly, I wouldn't have eight straight hits," said Williams. "But then I might have gotten a hit.

You know, think positive." Williams attributed his big day partially to the fact he sat out the second game of a doubleheader in Cincinnati, Sunday and Monday was a day off. "A day off now and then helps me both mentally and physically," said the 34-year-old outfielder. "It seems after a day off I get a little extra bounce. Eight-for-8? I've never had 8- for-8 even in the little league. "I had a bad start this recalled Williams.

"I was hitting good in spring and then the strike came. I didn't get too much hitting during the strike and suddenly they said 'play ball', I didn't get my timing back until the start of June." Lost in Williams' hitting wake was the revival of Rick Monday. Monday broke a 0-for-20 slump when he doubled in the ninth inning of the first game and then crashed a pair of homers, his eighth and ninth, in the nightcap. The Cubs and Astros meet again Wednesday with rookie Rick Reuschel, 3-1, facing Houston's Dave Roberts, 7-4. Rookies In Pack's Camp GREEN BAY, Wis.

The Twins might wish he had. Lahoud, who once hit three home runs in a game at Minne sota, clouted a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 54 vietory after the Minnesota Twins had bolted to a 44 gap in the seeond.

The 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder had been benched with a .193 batting average. "If I was the manager," said Lahound, would have done the same thing. I had been hitting the ball good. But you really can't help the club by hitting hard outs. I wasn't trying to pull the ball out--just trying to advance the runner.

Lahound came into the game as a pinch hitter in a three-run Brewer seventh, and drew a walk to load the bases. Minnesota starter Dick Woodson, who had allowed just three hits before the seventh, was driven out of the game by Rick Auerbach's two- run single. (considers a $5.0 million offer to purchase the club by a nineman group from Milwaukee and Chicago, headed by Marvin L. Fishman, a Milwaukee realtor. The board rejected Tuesday the Fishman group offer to buy the Bulls from Elmer Rich.

NBA Commissioner Walter Kennedy indicated that Governors did not approve the offer because the Bulls were unable to obtain a lease for the Stadium. Tuesday, Fishman said his group had signed a three-year lease with the Amphitheatre, but the Board still turned down the offer. "I'm disappointed by the temporary setback our group said Fishman. "I would like to emphasize the word temporary. We intend to pursue every legal action to assume our acquisition of the team." Should the efforts of the Fishman group fail, the Bulls could be sold to a group including Arthur Wirtz, owner of the seat Stadium.

It has been reported that with the rejection of Fishman, approval is expected to be given to the Wirtz group, which has a 10-year lease at favorable rental terms ready for the Bulls. Meanwhile, the Board: approved the sale of the Celtics for $5.1 million to Robert Schmertz, a 46-year-old realtor from Lakewood, N. J. He will be sole owner of the club. The only other individual owner in the team's history was the late Walter Brown, who purchased the Celtics in their infancy in 1946.

He died in 1964, but by that time was co-owner with Lou Perini. Schmertz, also part owner of the New England Whalers in the new World Hockey Association, is reported as saying he will keep the club in Boston, despite rumors to the contrary. He also is retaining Arnold "Red" Auerbach as president and general manager. first game of the scheduled 24- for the world title. The first adjourned until today.

(AP Wire- After reliever Wayne Granger struck out pinch hitter Tommy Reynolds, Brock Davis slapped a run-scoring single. Former Twin Ron Clark bounced a single past third to start the ninth, and Lahound came through with the winning hit. "When we didn't add on to our lead," said Twins' Manager Frank Quilici, now 2-3 since taking over for the fired Bill Rigney, "we beat ourselves." The Twins jumped on starter Skip Lockwood in the second with none out. Harmon Killedrew walked, Charlie Manuel doubled and Bob Darwin, who had three of the Twins' nine hits, drove a run-scoring single.
