But.

attain. Sneer had to can the drive jp It-- esse By BRUCE BROWN Advertiser Sports Editor ARLINGTON, Texas Oscar Speer was perfect on three field goal attempts here Saturday afternoon, but he never should have needed to try a fourth one. Speer, whose field goals of 23, 28, and 28 Sards helped produce 29 points for USL's agin' Cajuns against Texas-Arlington at Maverick Stadium but at the same time represented the Cajuns' failure to score touchdowns lined up a 53-yard try with time expired. The try was short and to the left, 8 reserving a 30-29 victory by the Movin' lavs in their 1982 homecoming before 6,094 fans. But, as long ago as 7:11 to go in the third quarter Coach Sam Robertson's Cajuns had been up 29-14.

Two UTA touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions the last coming with but 27 seconds to play destroyed that bulge and gave UTA only its second win in six tries this year. Depending upon your viewpoint, it was either an agonizing collapse or a miraculous comeback by an underdog. "It never should have come down to that last drive of theirs," said Robertson, whose Cajuns fell to 4-2 with their second straight loss. "We felt like we controlled the ball game, but we didn't take advantage of our opportunities. We should have put the game away in the first half." With flanker Clarence Verdin racing free for a school-record 163 yards on three first-half pass receptions, the Cajuns had Jackson, covered 83 yards in only eight filays.

The catalyst, as was the case all day ong, was sophomore tailback Scotty Caldwell. It was Caldwell's nine-yard draw play run on fourth and five from the Mavs' 22 that kept the drive alive. Soon Jackson was hitting Caldwell for 33 yards to the USL 41 with 51 seconds to play. On second down from there, Jackson hit Reggie Brooks for 13 to the Cajun 28. And then, fleet Byron Williams ran a comeback and go against left cornerback Gaylord Paul and gathered in Jackson's aerial for 28 yards at 27 to draw his team within one at 29-28.

UTA Head Coach Bud Elliott, owner of a 5-4 career record against USL at UTA, immediately went for two, much as he had on the Mavs' third TD in the third period. On the play, Jackson hit tight end Ben Young at the goal and bedlam erupted. Twenty-seven seconds wasn't a whole lot of time, but the Cajuns did what they could to give the game a fittingly bizarre finish. A final, fourth-down Don Wallace pass was intercepted and returned 58 yards for a touchdown by UTA's Stacy Rayfield as play concluded. But, interference was called at the UTA 41 and, with a delay of game penalty for Iubilant Mavericks mobbing Rayfield, the lall was suddenly at the UTA 36 and Speer was lining up a 53-yard try that would have won the game.

It missed, but then again, it never should have come down to that. The Cajuns opened with senior Dwight Prudhomme at quarterback, and he drove his team smartly downfield on its first series. Trouble was, Norris Hamm dropped a sure flare pass TD and Speer trotted fourth for a 23-yard field goal. A second possession was much better. On second and eight from his own 16, Prudhomme executed a play fake to freeze the Mav safety and then lofted a post pattern bomb to Verdin.

And, since few will catch Verdin on the fly, it was soon an 84-yard tuchdown detonation (the longest at USL since Randy Fontenot hit Harold Porter for 95 yards against Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1974) and a 10-0 USL lead. Things began to turn, though, as the. quarter ended. A David Foret fumble at his with a field goat of 28 yards. Renrifck Tuck soon set up the Cajuns, picking off Earlie Wesley's end-around pass at the UTA 43 and getting it down to the 29.

Wallace quickly hit Doug Waddell for 16 to the 13, ana three plays later found Greg Hobbs for a nine-yard strike and a 20-7 lead. Breathing room? Don't count on it. The Mavs set up at the USL 45 after a Cajun punt 20 seconds before halftime. A 15-yard pass from Jackson to Derrel Hulcy reached the 30, and an interference call on Tuck against Williams but the ball on the 11 from which point Jackson speared tight end Darryl Lewis for a TD at :07 and a 20-14 intermission score. The Cajuns went for two points after their third TD because, according to Robertson, "we wanted to set out of reach of two touchdowns." Had the Cajuns converted a pass that failed, it would have been 31-14 at that stage.

But they didn't, and 30-14 began to look better and better. First UTA scored with Caldwell from five yards (with Caldwell on the two-point run) to make it 29-22. Then a USL interception (tipped by Jimbo Talkington, picked off by Cooler Mansur) was wasted when Wallace was intercepted in the UTA end zone going for Verdin. Then came a period in the final quarter when the two teams averaged a minute per possession and neither seemed to want the win. The Cajuns looked like they were playing not to lose instead, and the Mavericks took enough interest to take the game.

Marcus Wright (71) could arrive on the scene. Jackson led a second-half comeback as the underdog Mavs upset the Cajuns, 30-29 Saturday in Arlington. Special To The Advertiser) TOO LATE USL defensive end Andy Martin (95) crashes into UTA quarterback Danny Jackson (6) just after Jackson got his pass away over the outstretched arms of Ragin' Cajun noseguard Ken Snodgrass (61) and before USL's Vernon Homer (93) and WILDCATS NO MATCH FOR TIGERS Risher Leads LSU Runaway ARLINGTON, Texas USL's football program lost more than a football game here Saturday afternoon at Maverick Stadium. While the Cajuns and UTA were battling on the field, the grandfather of senior USL defensive end Andy Martin was struggling for life after suffering a heart attack while sitting with the USL section of fans in the stands. Paramedics rushed to his tide, and cardlo pulmonary resuscitation procedures were followed to keep the man alive.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but died. Martin wai informed of his grandfather's death right after the game by Head Coach Sam Robertson, who later accompanied his defensive stalwart (and the media's choice as USL Defensive Player of the Game) to the hospital.

Texas-Arlington's Movin' Mavs had just pulled off a miraculous 30-29 comeback win over USL's Ragin' Cajuns, and a UTA assistant coach was blowing off some giddy steam.

"You never know about this team," said UTA Coach Bud Elliott, hose club climbed to 2-4 with the win. "We just kept battling, and I think we beat a pretty good team.

"We're a screwy football team. We still made mistakes, and that concerns us, but I can't sav enoush about the effort of our scored 20 points by halftime. But, then again, the feeling was that two more golden touchdown opportunities were muffed as the visitors settled for three instead of seven points. And, with just seven seconds left in the half, the Mavs moved to within six points at 20-14 a drive that both kept the home team within range and was a harbinger of things to come at game's end. The Cajuns took half of the third period with a lengthy drive, but again a missed play forced Speer's third field goal and a 23-14 lead.

UTA fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and at last the Cajuns cashed in for six with a 13-yard scamper around end by Trinion Smith. At that point, it looked like the Cajuns' sputtering offense could keep enough control of the game to preserve the fifth win of the year. But the Mavericks rushed back into it with a touchdown and came through at game's end for the game-winning march. It was a bitterly disappointing day for the Cajuns, with the end result a loss that never should have been.

After Yount's two-run single, Cecil Cooper tied the score with a single, and Thomas' twn-nin hit nrnvirlprf the winninff marffin the Tigers a 10-0 lead less than four minutes into the game. Risher's 9-yard touchdown pass to Eric Martin following a fumble recovery at the Kentucky 25 put LSU ahead 7-0 with 12:30 remaining in the opening quarter. Kentucky's George Adams fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Juan Betanzos kicked a 37-yard field goal four plays later to make it 10-0 after only 3 54 of play The Tigers, 4-0-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the SEC, jumped ahead 17-0 after another Kentucky fumble on the first series of the second half. Risher moved the Tigers 17 yards for that score, passing six yards to Herman Fontenot in the end zone.

Kentucky, 0-5-1 and 0-2, cut the deficit to 17-10 at halftime on a 45-yard field goal by Chris Caudell and a 2-yard run by Adams. Betanzos kicked a 32-yard field goal to put LSU ahead 20-10 after three quarters. Jesse Myles' 2-yard touchdown run with 8:09 remaining proved to be the clincher. Reserve quarterback Timmy Byrd drove the Tigers 47 yards for a fourth touchdown, passing the final 11 to Earl Curtis with 1:57 togo. LSU appeared to be on its way to a blowout with the 17-0 lead, but a turnover helped Kentucky back into the game.

The Wildcats mounted a modest drive from their 21-yard line that culminated in Caudell's field goal with 9:30 remaining in the half. Martin then fumbled the kickoff at his 24 and, five plays later, Adams scooted two yards for the only rushing touchdown allowed by LSU this season. Kentucky blunted a Tiger drive early in the third quarter when a fumbled snap foiled Betanzos' 23-yard field goal attempt with 8 55 remaining In the period. The Wildcats, whose offense ranked dead last in Division I-A before the game, again failed to move the ball and were forced to punt. The Tigers took possession on their 39 and Betanzos kicked a 32-yard field goal when the drive stalled at Kentucky's 15-yard line.

to hit. team. We kept stopping their offense in the fourth quarter." As for the big play of the final stanza, Elliott pointed to the fourth and five draw play for nine yards by Scotty Campbell on the game-winning drive. "I've never seen a player with more intensity," Elliott said. "He just won't go down." Oddly enough, Elliott "debated and debated" over a two-point try after his team's third touchdown, one drive after a failed USL two-point try kept the game at 29-14.

By making their two-point play, the Mavs got to 29-22, and then were able to win with a similar eight-point parlay at game's end. "You have to be sure you're back in the ball game," said Elliott of the choice. Of his team's attack, Elliott said, "We have been on (quarterback) Danny Jackson's case, but when the pressure was on he really performed. We thought we could throw the comeback pattern outside, and the angle-ins. (On the winning TD), Byron Williams ran a comeback and go and we got him into a footrace.

"I don't think they were expecting us to go long at that point, and it caught them short." But, the Mavs should not have been in position to win the game. "We knew at halftime that we didn't have the tempo you need," said USL Offensive Coordinator Lynn Amedee. "Holding Eenalties were hurting us, and we were aving to depend on big plays to bail us out. The last two or three weeks we have had penalties at crucial times, and that takes away from your game plan. "We need to be consistent, and control the tempo.

The drive we had to start the third quarter was the closest we had, but again we had a blown assignment at the end and had to kick a field goal." Amedee added, "We couldn't run right at them. I don't know if it was so much their being bigger than we were. We just didn't attack well coming off the ball. I know our linemen are young, but we have to stop using that as an excuse. "We're not holding up our end of the bargain." Sophomore Don Wallace was at the Cajun controls for the last Wk minutes of the game over senior Dwight Prudhomme, according to Amedee, because, "They were strong up the middle.

We couldn't slow them down inside, and we felt we could protect better outside so we went with Donnie on sprint-outs and rollouts." When the Cajuns roll out this morning they will be staring at a 4-2 worksheet, which is three more games than Sam Robertson's team won all of last season. But the Cajuns know that 6-0 was only a few irritating mistakes away. 1 Doug uair relieved Laroint, warning raw Molitor and giving up a two-run single to Yount. Molitor made it to third on Yount's hit, and Cooper came up to face 43-year-old left-hander Jim Kaat, who was no more successful than Bair. Cooper slapped a single off the glove of third baseman Ken Oberkfell, scoring Molitor as Yount raced to second.

Yount and Cooner each advanced one base on a wild "I wasn't fooled by it. I was trying to hold up," Yount said. "The ball was high. I still hit it solid, but like I said, I was trying to hold up on the swing." Asked if that was a portent of better things in Milwaukee's future, Yount said, "Things all day long hadn't gone that well, yet we were still in the ballgame and that put us one (run) down, coop came up witn a put big hit and then Gorman turned things pitcn by Kaat, who then was relieved by around for us." rookie Jeff Lanu. By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer MILWAUKEE (AP) Gorman Thomas and Robin Yount each drove in two runs in Milwaukee's six-run seventh inning, and the Brewers, their backs to the wall once again, charged to a 7-5 victory over the St.

Louis Cardinals Saturday to even baseball's 79th World Series at two games apiece. Trailing 5-1, the Brewers were headed for a third loss in four 1982 World Series games a deficit from which only four teams have recovered when they sent 12 men to the plate in the seventh. "Hopefully, this will give us a lift for the rest of the Series," said Paul Molitor, who walked and eventually scored the tying run in Milwaukee's big inning. "We didn't want to be staring into a situation of having to win three in a row." Such a predicament would have been nothing new. They had to beat Baltimore on the last day of the regular season after losing three in a row to the Orioles to win the American League East.

They did. In the AL playoffs, the Brewers fell behind West champion California 0-2 and had to win three straight games for their first American League pennant. They did. "The attitude of this team very seldom changes, no matter what the situation," said Yount, whose two-run, check-swing single drew the Brewers to within one run, 5-4. "When you play in a World Series, every game is Important," Yount continued.

"This took this game the same as any, with the attitude that we want to win." At the same time, the 56,560 fans who braved a cold, windy day at Milwaukee County Stadium were left in suspense over whether one of their favorite sons, relief ace Rollie Fingers, was able to pitch. Left-handed reliever Bob McClure stifled a potential St. Louis rally in the eighth with a double-play pitch, then retired the side in order in the ninth, striking out Tommy Herr and pinch-hitter Gene Tenace to end the fame as Fingers warmed up in the bullpen, ingers has not pitched since Sept. 2 because of a torn muscle in his right forearm. Afterward, Brewers Manager Harvey Kuenn, who had said earlier in the week that Fingers could pitch perhaps one inning, finally admitted that his ace was unavailable.

"He said his arm was a little stiff, so we would have had to go to Peter Ladd," Kuenn said. The absence of another relief star, St. Louis' Bruce Sutter, also became an issue. In Milwaukee's seventh, while Sutter sat in the bullpen, two Cardinal relievers who followed starter Dave LaPoint failed to retire a batter. "I would only have used Sutter with two out in the eighth," St.

Louis Manager Whitey Herzog said. In the previous two games of the Series, Sutter had pitched 4 2-3 innings while recording a victory and a save. Sutter was irritable when questioned about his non-appearance. "I don't have nothing to say. I didn't Lahti came in with a 2-1 count on Ted Simmons, whom he walked intentionally to load the bases.

Thomas, with only two hits in 11 previous Series at-bats and robbed of a home run Friday night on a leaping catch by the Cardinals' Willie McGee, rapped a sharp single to left that scored Yount and Cooper. Oglivie was walked Intentionally to reload the bases, and the Inning finally ended to a deafening cheer from 56,560 fans at Milwaukee County Stadium when Money, the 12th Milwaukee batter In the seventh, flew to left. On a crisp, windy day with temperatures In the 40s, the Cardinals scored a run in the first inning and three In the second off Milwaukee starter Moose Haas. Tom Herr and Oberkfell, the 1-2 hitters in the St. Louis lineup, played major roles In this mini-melodrama.

With one out in the first inning, Oberkfell CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 Thomas, who had just two hits in 14 at-bats before his game-winner Saturday, said he had watched videotapes of himself to try to find flaws in his swings. "I wanted to find out what was happening to me, and I think that was a big help," Thomas said, declining to say just what he spotted. Milwaukee's 10 hits Saturday gave them 42 for the Series' first four games, during which they have hit in double figures in three games. The Cardinals, meanwhile, have had just 25 hits and were hitting 197 as a team, compared with Milwaukee's .296. Game 5 is scheduled here Sunday, with Bob Forsch going for the Cardinals against Milwaukee's Mike Caldwell in a rematch of first-game pitchers.

The Brewers won the opener 10-0. LaPoint had yielded just five hits through the first six innings, but with one out in the seventh, he committed a costly error that would make all six runs unearned.
