October 16, 1971 The Sfair 18 ORIOLES REMINDED OF PAST DISASTER Baltimore Looks To Avenge Three-Qame Disaster At Home Baltimore The Baltimore Orioles will trot out Saturday for the sixth game of the World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates prodded by a reminder of a past disaster a poetic reminder framed in this little ditty; the It took a year Now we can do it In two days The four lines were chalked on the blackboard in the dressing room Friday by the clubhouse attendant, Clay Reid. And they underscore the challenge as simply as possible. It took the Orioles a year to bounce back in the Series after losing to the New York Mets in 1969. But if the Orioles can win here Saturday and Sunday against the Pirates they can quickly avenge their three- game disaster at Pittsburgh. That debacle sends the defending champion Orioles, called by Manager Earl Weaver the best team in baseball history, into Game No.

6 trailing 3-2 in the best-of- seven series that determines the best team in baseball for 1971. On the eve of the crucial sixth game, Weaver declined to name his starting lineup but did reaffirm that right-hander Jim Palmer, who won the second game, would be his starting pitcher against Pirate righthander Bob Moose. Weaver said he want to disclose his lineup because he would have answer too many questions about Then, in a swipe at the critics who have called i a push-button manager, he added with a chuckle: push-button machine is all messed up. And I have a The machine, which had push-buttoned its way to 16 secutive victories including 11 at the end of the regular season, three in the playoffs and two in the Series, went haywire in Pittsburgh. Instead of the names Mike Cuellar, Pat Dobson and Dave McNally jumping out as the winning pitchers, the names of the winners were Steve Blass, Bruce Kison and Nelson Briles.

Instead of names Frank Robinson, Boog Powell and Brook Robinson jumping out as the clutch hitters, the names of the clutch hitters were Roberto Clemente, Manny Sanguillen and Bob Robertson. Instead of the names Mark Belanger and Paul Blair jumping out as the slick fielders, the names of the slick fielders were Jackie Hernandez and Willie Stargell. And now the Orioles stand one defeat away from having the Pirates lock up their first championship since 1960 while destroying the' myth Baltimore invincibility. games is Weaver said. rather be down 2-3 than 0-2.

They just went to work and did the things they did all year. Now have to do the things we did all Frank Robinson put the challenge in a different perspective, saying; see what kind of club this is. We can still win if we want to. The easiest thing in life is to quit. The toughest thing in life is to pull yourself up when things are going Things are going exceptionally well for the Pirates, who are within one victory of a feat never before accomplished in the 49-year history since the Series was changed from nine games to the best of seven games.

Only four teams in that period have been able to come back and win the Series after losing the first two games. No team has ever been able to do it by running off four consecutive victories. But the Pirates must now do their thing at Baltimore, which is to their disadvantage, according to ace Pittsburgh reliever Dave Gusti, team is more suited to playing in Pittsburgh because of the kind of personnel we drive hitters and Gusti explained. Their (the ball park is more suited to the guys who pull the ball down the line like Powell and the The Pirates hit only .162 In the two games at Baltimore but blasted Oriole pitching at a .300 clip in the three games at Pittsburgh. Despite all the pre-game words, will all boil down to the best pitcher Weaver insisted.

On paper, that is Palmer. Palmer posted a 20-9 record during the regular season and won the second game, allowing THROWS THREE TD PASSES Top-Ranked Spartans Topple Topeka, 35-14 Topeka. Kan. Lincoln East rallied from a 14-0 second period deficit to score a 35-14 victory over Topeka High School at Highland Park Field here Friday night. The triumph moved coach Lee Spartans, rated as -TACKLES FOR LOSSES KU Matching NU In One Department Most of the emphasis this week concerning Saturday afternoon foe at Memorial Stadium has been placed on the strength of the Kansas offense.

But the Jayhawks have come close to matching the NU Black Shirts defensive unit in one important category, throwing or ball carriers for losses behind the line of stopped ball carriers for with Rich eight quarterbacks scrimmage. The Huskcr Black Shirts have losses 33 times, totaling 112 yards for 30 yards leading the way. defense, however, has thrown foes for losses on 24 occasions totaling 117 yards. The Jayhawk leaders in that department are tackle Phil Easier with four stops for 30 yards in losses and end Pat Ryan with five for 17 yards. Rodgers Nears Receiving Lead Junior Johnny Rodgers needs only 76 yards in pass receptions against Kansas to become the all-time Husker leader in that department.

Rodgers with 1,159 yards in a season and one-half is second only to Guy Ingles, who caught passes totaling 1,234 ards in a three-year career- that ended last season. scout tells us when Nebraska gets in trouble, they go to Johnny says KU coach Don Fambrough, he tell me what to do about Other Huskers, who could move up on the all-time Husker charts Saturday, are quarterback Van Brownson and I-back Jeff Kinney. Brownson needs only 66 passing yards to become the fifth leading passer, surpassing John mark of 1.618 yards. Kinney by catching 78 yards in passes would lake over fourth place in that department from Freeman White, whose pass receptions totaled 871 yards. Second In 22 Years When Kansas rushed for 248 yards and passed for 200 in last 39-13 win over Kansas State, it was only the second time in 22 years the Jayhawks had reached the 200-yard mark in both categories.

The other time it went for naught in 69-21 loss to Missouri in 1969. Practice Tougher Than Game Bob Helmbacher, soccer-style field goal and extra point kicker, practices booting at a set up uprights only 10 feet wide, less than half the width of the regular goal posts (23 feet, 4 inches). Don Fambrough, the Jayhawk coach, is convinced this wili improve kicking accuracy. just like if a golfer practiced putting at a cup this Fambrough explained, making a small circle with thumb and forefinger. next day he could go out and play a match and feel like he was putting at a The Lineups top squad, to a perfect 6-0 record while the Trojans fell to 3-3.

East displayed a balanced running and passing attack in rushing for 160 yards and gaining 158 yards through the air. The hosts rushed for 115 yards 70 in the first quarter before defense stiffened and achieved just 58 yards through the air. The Trojans took the opening kickoff and drove for a 7-0 lead as senior halfback Phil Benning, a :9.8 sprinter, rambled 10 yards with 8:31 left in the quarter. The Kansans zoomed to a two-touchdown advantage as senior fullback Danny Gragg scooted for four yards with 7:52 remaining before the halftime intermission. But then the Spartans went to work as quarterback Scott Copple took the ensuing Topeka kickoff and directed East to the score as he rifled a 44-yard scoring pass to Jack Ball with 6:03 left in the second quarter.

Copple teamed with senior Gene Smith to tie the match with just 1:33 left before halftime. Smith caught a 14- yard touchdown score and also a 30-yard toss as a Copple to Bryce Carlson passing effort netted 27 yards in the drive. Then it was senior Jeff turn to pace the Capital City crew. His 34-yard jaunt set up go-ahead touchdown scored by Ball on a 13-yard run. Putman then drove for tvw) yards on the last play of the third stanza to give the Spartans a commanding two- touchdown edge.

Junior Rick Samuelson intercepted a pass to start the final drive and then completed it with a three-yard pass from Copple, who hurled Lutz, Borowiak Post Triumphs Cologne, Germany iJf) Lutz and Jeff Borowiak of Los Angeles, scored upset victories Friday in quarter-final singles play of the World Professional Tennis Tournament.

Using a variety of offensive combinations early, the Trojans found the Spartans vulnerable, but East rallied. Although each team accumulated 15 first downs, Topeka gained just 45 yards rushing during the last three quarters.

The Trojans, trying to rebound, enrployed the passing attack but could complete only short gainers in an attempt to tie the match. Punting with a brisk wind, the Capital City crews averaged 51 yards. East booted two for a 50-yard average while the Kansans kicked four for a 52- yard average. Gragg 4 run Wiesser East 0 14 7-35 Topeka 7 7 0 Topeka Benning 10 run, (Wiesser kick). Topeka kick).

Michel, who shifted field twice with no wall of blockers in front of him, sprinted to the touchdown untouched by Lincoln High defenders.

When Big Eight Skywriters visited here late August, Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks indicated there were some games on the S(X)ner schedule for which he was hoping his players could reach a peak. Pinned down as to which games he might be referring to, Fairbanks replied, got three teams on the schedule that arc in the pre-season top He was referring to Nebraska, Texas, and Southern Cal.

But now another team has sneaked (stormed might be a better verb) into that picture and do battle with the Sooners at 1:30 p.m. Saturday before a sellout of 62,000 fans here. Sooners peaked enough, as he had hoped they would, to defeat both Southern Cal and Texas, en route to a 4-0 record and a No. 2 national ranking behind Nebraska. But the foe Saturday.

Colorado, has peaked enough against LSU and Ohio State, both in the top ten at the time, to defeat those two perennial powers, and the Buffs did it at Baton Rouge, and Columbus, Ohio, where visitors just to win. Visitors supposed to win here either in Owen Field, that has been tabbed by some as Snake The oddsmakers have established Oklahoma as an favorite, but Iowa State coach Johny Majors, whose Cyclones lost to the Buffs by 24-14 last week, warns Sooner faithful that Colorado might be better than Southern Cal or Texas. would have to think the team that plays the best defense will Majors says. has a good football team, I would say Colorado has a better football team than cither one of the last two teams (Southern Cal and Texas) Oklahoma has There are few, however, who would agree with Majors that defense will decide this game between teams that are averaging 41.5 (Oklahoma) and 32,4 (Colorado) points per game. Particularly so since both teams have key defensive frunt- liners on the injured list.

Both OU detensive ends, Raymond Hamilton and Mike Struck, suffered injuries in the win over Texas. Both may see some action, however. The Buffs have been hit even harder by injuries on defensive, having lost three starters for the season and with all-American tackle candidate Herb Orvis still slowed by an ankle injury. But few people think of defense when they think of Oklahoma or Colorado this season. For the Sooners, they think of that backfield ()f Jack Mildren.
