One of the oldest adages in football is that you make mistakes against a good football team and still win. Colorado came into its game here Saturday afternoon against No. 2 ranked Oklahoma as the fifth or sixth best college football team, depending on which poll you believe, had an unbeaten record of 5-0 and had defeated highly-regarded LSU at Baton Rouge and Ohio State at Columbus.

Oklahoma turned the ball over to the Buffs five times on fumbles, yet routed the visitors 45-17. In doing so, the Sooners racked up a school record of 670 total yards that wiped out the old mark of 663 set in 1946 against Oklahoma State, then Oklahoma The Colorado defensive game plan in trying to slow down wishbone-T attack was to key on Greg Pruitt, who had been named Associated Press national back of the week the past two weeks for his performance against Cal and Texas.

A massive charge by middle guard Rich Glover and tackles Jacobson and Bill Janssen stymied the Jayhawks at every turn.

Combined, Jacobson and Glover smeared KU backs for eight losses totaling 56 yards. There was no dnjpoff in performance when Monte Johnson, the No. 1 alternate for both Jacobson and Glover, came into the lineup. He was just as impressive, as was big John Dutton, the other alter- ternate tackle. The Comhusker Black Shirt crew wasted no time establishing its domination.

After a quick Kansas fumble kickoff wiped recovery the ers needed just three plays to get the ball. leading rusher, Delvin Williams, gained a yard before being gang-tackled on the first play. Vince was stopped for no gain on the second play. Then Kansas sophomore quarterback David Jaynes went to the air.

Despite a rurv-producing single by Bob Robertson in the second inning and Roberto homer in the third it enough for the Pirates, as the slumbering Baltimore bats began to shake off the effect of a three-game slump. Scoreless for 22 straight innings and limited to two hits through five innings by Pittsburgh starter Bob Moose, the Orioles struck for their first run in the sixth inning on Don homer and then tied it in the seventh. With one out in the seventh, Mark Belanger singled to get the Orioles started against reliever Bob Johnson.

I run for their first championship since 1960 and the Onoles needing a run to remain alive in their bid for a second straight world championship. The Robinsons, heroes of Series past for the Orioles, combined forces in the 10th inning of a mind-numbing, tension-filled game that sent the 1971 World Series into a decisive seventh chapter.

Even Brooks felt unsettled as he stepped to the plate with Frank on third base and Merv Rettenmund on first base, one out and the score tied in the 10th inning. was breathing a little hard when I got up Brooks said afterwards in the interview room. With the count 1-2, Brooks reached out for a Bob Miller pitch and lofted the ball softly to center field where Vic Davalillo raced in, made the grab and fired hokie. Now the only thing that stood between the Orioles and victory was the 90 feet between third and two feet. feet are said Frank, they are And he proved it, dashing toward home as throw came in to catcher Manny Sanguillen a few feet up the line.

Frank slid under the catcher and met the plate with a graceful slide as plate umpire John Kibler flashed the safe sign. The victory squared the series at three games apiece each team having won all its games at home and left seventh game as the decider. The world champion Orioles will go with Mike Cuellar, the third game loser, against Steve Blass, the winner of the third game for the Pirates, in the final contest.
