The Cowboys are well rested now, however, enjoying a layoff since the April 14 Northwestern Relays. "I think we're in the best shape of the season," says Kuehn. "Anyway, I'll find out Saturday night.

I plan to try to run everybody for a change. At least, we'll line them up and see if they can run." McNeese's top performer this season has been Al Habetz, spring-legged junior from Crowley.

NBA TODAY'S NBA PLAYOFFS By Associated Press Thursday's Result No game scheduled. Today's Boston at Los Angeles, Boston leads best-ol-7 scries, J-l Saturday's No oamt Sunday Los at Boston Koufax's Four-Hitte Downs Mets 2-1 Sandy Koufax is a bust as a Sunday pitcher. He took care of that Thursday night. Koufax, the arthritic-elbowed southpaw, a fw-hittir and gained his second complete game victory in as many starts in the Los Dodgers' triumph over the New YorK Mets. Hii performance came with only four days rest, marking the first time Koufax has tried to pitch in regular rotation with the damaged elbow.

When it was discovered earlier this month that the 21-year- old left-hander had an arthritic condition, Dodger officials believed he might be able to pitch only once a week simply a Sunday pitcher. He started out that way last Sunday in beating Philadelphia 6-2. In less than 48 hours, though, Koufax had decided he could pitch before the week was up, even with only his usual four-day layoff. Following his trial against the Mets, it appeared as if the injury-plagued ace were ready to continue in rotation. As usual, though, that depended on how the elbow reacted today.

"It's the day after I pitch that it locks," Koufajc explains, If the elbow responds well, Koufax will draw the Phillies at Los Angeles next Monday night. Against the Mets, Koufax was much sharper than in his first effort against Philadelphia when he gave up just six hits but walked five. AH of the hits the Mets got were singles, two by Billy Cowan. Koufax walked only one batter Roy McMillan in the seventh inning while striking out nine. The lone run off him was unearned, a result of Maury Wills' seventh-inning error, Lominac, Marnien Share Keg Honors HONOR ROLL Men 215 LINES) lob Lominac Danny LcBlanc 237, Rgdy Saucier 237, Gerold Bqllqrd 235, Jon Marnien JJ4-22S- Jlf, Mgnit 126, H.

Gators Bomb Tigers, 6-1' The LaGrange Gators put on an impressive show of plate power Thursday afternoon to bombard the visiting Opelousas Tigers 84 in a high school basketball game played at Legion Field.

The key to the eighth in games was a run explosion in the sixth ing, a rally highlighted by back- to-back home runs, the first cuit clouts in the brief history of LaGrange baseball. Greg Dupin and Tommy Sik via were the authors of the four masters, which broke up a tight pitching duel between Grange's Johnny Fryar and Opelousas' Aaron Savant. Fryar, coming on in the fourth inning to relieve starter Perky Little, pitched the victory, giving up but two hits and striking out four in his four-inning stint. The Tiger 8 had rocked Little for four hits and a 1-0 lead in the three frames the Gator hurler worked. The St.

Landry Parish nine now 14-3, picked up their lone run in the first inning when catcher Reggie PeJean socked a one-out triple and scored on a wild pitch. LaGrange, their bats slumbering through much of the season, broke loose for three big runs in the fourth to surge into the lead. Dupin and Silvia got it started with back-to-back walks and Northeast Signs Larry Sautters MONROE (Spl.) Recruiting is getting to be a family affair for Northeast State Basketball Coach Lenny Fant. The Indians signed Larry Saulters to a 1965 basketball scholarship. Larry joins his brother, Glynn, a GSC all-conference player.

Carl Shetler'i single, plated Dupin with the tying run. Derryl Augenstein, the big man in the Gator attack with three-for-three and three RBIs, then lashed a double to score both Silvia and Shetlcr. That'i how it stood until the dramatic sixth. Pupin, leading off, tore into a high Savant fast ball, ing the ball off a light pole in left field, some 380 feel from the plate. SJlvia followed suit with a blast in the same direction and when Coco Rossitto singled sharply to left, that was all for Savant.

Shetler greeted reliever Rixby Boudreaux with a ground single through the hole and Augenstein made it five, hits in succession with a looping drive to right center scoring Rossitto. When the Tiger outfielders couldn't come up with the ball, Shetler footed it home and Augenstein journeyed to third. Gator coach Tommy Bankston then called for a suicide squeeze and Fryar executed the maneuver to perfection, easily scoring Augenstein with the i a 1 run of the day. The Gators will take on Landry Saturday in a twin bill at Legion Field.
