even at one game apiece but the Dodgers playing listlessly and hitting Just 190 as a team dropped the first two games before their home town fans In depressing fashion And it looked as if they weren't even going to put up a fight with the Yankees who have been doing enough fighting for both clubs among themselves of late By BILL MADDEN NEW YORK (UPI) Having averted an old-fashioned "New York on their home field the Los Angeles Dodgers arrived at hostile Yankee Stadium today amid a new Yankee controversy involving a sudden switchover to Mike Torres as the sixth-game World Series pitcher Manager Billy Martin made the change to Torres the third-game winner after conferring with his trainer about the condition of Ed sore right index finger Figueroa was visibly upset at being passed over again and refused to talk to reporters as he boarded the Yankees' bus after Los Angeles drubbed New York' 1(M at Dodger Stadium Sunday aI TOLD THEM they had beaten a great club in Cincinnati to win the division and another great one in Philadelphia that no one thought we could beat to win the said La sorda of his pre-game talk I told them to just go out there and do the Job you're supposed to do We went out and got it and I'm very proud of Indeed the Dodgers went out and did it And if there was any doubt the 54) lead might not hold they padded it with three more runs in the fifth knocking out Gullett in the process Yeager left the game for a pinch hitter in the seventh his Job completed Jobe (Frank Jobe the Dodgers' physician) said I strained the ligaments in my right leg" Yeager explained with a wink said I have about two more games left in it" BUT Manager Tommy La-sorda never at a loss for encouraging words called a meeting of his troops prim1 to Sunday's game and pleaded with to start showing some life The message from Big Dodger of the Dugout" must have gotten across as Davey Lopes the first Los Angeles batter of the game teed off on a 3-1 pitch from Gullett and sent it caroming off the bullpen gate in left field Bill Russell immediately followed with a single and the Dodgers were suddenly back from the grave Although a magnificent defensive play by Graig Nettles who barehanded grounder and fired to first for the BILLY MARTIN left and Reggie Jackson appear to be pala Just before the fifth game of the World Series Frequently at odds they make it appear they have kissed and made up "IF NOT 100 per cent not said Martin of Figueroa who pitched in the World Series On the brink of elimination after having dropped three of the first four games the Dodgers rose out

Burt Hooton in Hurry up with those entries THE SAN DIEGO STATE University Aitecs in their 49-7 crushing of UT El Paso Saturday night in San Diego gave fair warning to Western Athletic Conference schools They may become the new Ariiona Slate University Sun Devils of the WAC ASU is leaving the WAC along with Arizona and San Diego State is entering the conference next season ASU has dominated the WAC almost ever since the loop was established Frank Kush had a lean 1976 season but except fur that year and maybe one or two others ASU has ridden herd on the WAC UTEP met the full challenge of the Sun Devils only one season 1974 The Miners now are faeed with a new ultimatum They've got to build up to San Diego State if they are going to be competitive in the WAC The Aztecs have had good teams under Claude Gilbert And they had super teams when Don Coryell was there Their future stays bright They're a big school in a big city with a big recruiting area around them and with a big stadium to play in They won't have their ground burner David Turner or 214-pound Joe Davis one of the biggest quarterbacks in the country next year But come up with a strong team in their baby season in the WAC it is evident The question who's the better back Turner or Terry Miller of Oklahoma State drew a pause from several of the Miner players and also from coach Bill Michael The Miners have been victims of both stars Miller the Heisman Trophy candidate might have had a hesitating winning vote from the Miners But the was pretty impressive against the Miners Saturday He may have more acceleration than the brawny Miller a quick starter Michael had a dream on the way home from San Diego "Wouldn't it be great to have a backfleld of Miller Turner and Earl he asked Davis pick job TURNER NETTED 129 yards against the Miners in the Aztecs' easy victory He scored three touchdowns The passes of Davis were even more troublesome for the Miners Davis stood back in the pocket took his time and picked the Miners apart with his pisses He threw for three touchdowns and Mark Hilda mopped up with one touchdown throw Davis at first picked on the right side of the Miner secondary Gerald Woodruff a Miner freshman corncrback had an ordeal as tought as any first year player ever went through The secondary was shuffled some but Davis era- Garcia Sneed get UTEP game awards Michael called San Diego State perhaps the best team the Miners have played this season since the Aztecs were able to avoid mistakes He called Joe Davis outstanding as a passer Davis 214-pound senior us dead center even after we made a number of defensive adjustments" tinued to throw and complete passes The Aztecs gained 346 yards in the air Oscar Ramirez led the Miners on their only touchdown safari in the second quarter The Miners went 65 yards The payoff pitch was to Bubba Garcia Ramirez' favorite receiver for 13 yards The Miners had one long drive in the third quarter when they went from their 12 to the 5 It ended when Ramirez was intercepted in the end zone The Miners were stopped short on a drive in the first quarter and had to give up the ball when Miguel Alvarez missed a field goal An angry team RAMIREZ WAS harassed by the San Diego pass rush men more than he has ever been in any game They almost chased him into the Pacific Ocean or Mission Bay He had to get his passes off the second he got the ball The Aztecs had suffered from a lot of home criticism for their unexpected loss to Fresno State the week before They took their anger out on UTEP And were they an angry team? A good example of their attitude came when they were leading 29-7 and there was less than a minute left on the clock In the first half They decided they were going to score and even the San Diego Chargers might not have prevented them getting to the goal line Gilbert the San Diego State coach said he was certainly surprised at the easy game He said he expected a tough game films of the Miners' games with Colorado State and New Mexico State showed they were capable of giving us a good game or beating us" he said The Miners face Arizona State next Saturday night in Tempe Frank Kush has two veteran quarterbacks in Dennis Sprout and Fred Mortensen The UTEP secondary will have to make some amends or they'll riddle the Miners in the air Some of the UT El Paso football players had a flat performance but some played well in the Miners' 49-7 loss to San Diego State Saturday night coach Bill Michael said today After he looked at the game films Michael and his staff awarded gold helmets to split receiver Bubba Garcia who caught 10 passes for 91 yards and to linebacker Darrell Sneed a freshman from Houston Sneed had three unassisted tackles two assisted tackles and was in on two quarterback sacks Wednesday marks the deadline for entries to the City Men's Amateur Golf Championship The tournament sponsored by The Herald-Post will be held Saturday and Sunday Championship first and second flights will compete the first day at Horizon while the third fourth and filth flight! battle at Coronado The two groups will switch courses for the final round Last city champion Manny Martinez Jr is the assistant pro at Ascarate Golf Course ineligible to compete Entries and entry fees must be sent to Coronado Country Club pro Danny Swain Entry fee is 125 which includes fees for both days LOSS OF Dennis Rawls and Terrence Prevost in the defensive line prevented the Miners from putting on much of a pasa rush Fullback Robert Elliott saw action in a few plays only The Sun Devils are a very physical team according to Michael played well under a successful hard-nosed coach in Frank Kush and most teams take on the same personality of their coach have good runners and John Jefferson the Arizona State wide receiver can Jump out of the field" MICHAEL praised the play of some of the other players including flanker Harold Johnson defensive tackle Keith Black Linebacker Leon Jones defensive back Curtis Stevenson and quarterback Oscar Ramirez had a fine game considering the pass rush of the said Michael NEW ORLEANS (UPI) AUanta Hawks' center Joe Meri weather will Join New Orleans in a trade for a first-round draft pick and other SEIBERUNG 111 BUCK 1795 1895 11 GQQUDjffiEACS CUSTOM POWER CUSHION POLYGLAS NARROW WHITE TUBELESS COOPER SPORHUSTER BUCK DKMEOJLD STIfl SILTED RADIAL!
