Mo I have had a full day to thinft" about losing the seventh game of the World Series and no easier to take now than it was when the game ended sure all of us Cardinals will be replaying the series all winter espe cially that last game A hit here a catch there and it all might have turned out differently When you look back I think the turning point came in the fifth game We had them 3 0 and let them get away like a fighter who knocks his opponent down and put him away It usually comes back to haunt him as it did to us We let the Tigers up and that seemed to give them the lift they needed to come back and beat us three straight games The last time I remember feeling so low was when I was a junior at Technical High School in Omaha and we lost in the finals of the Nebraska State Basket Ball

football opener between Kansas and Nebraska both undefeated and snorting to stay that way As far as many thousands of fans are concerned the strongest appeal of the match is more personal in nature This border first flared in each year by wagers of salesmen truckers farmers state line tavern pa trons and those sensitive old grads who find themselves liv ing in enemy territory Officials expect to cram the largest crowd in conference history about 65800 into morial Stadium Kansas is considered a to three point favorite though trailing in the 51 20 3 series Kansas has won more often in 12 than on its own field Statistically the challenge of the contest is between thefayhawk offense and the Corn husker defense Kansas has averaged 460 air ground yards while demol ishing Illinois Indiana and New Mexico with long gain plays The Nebraska defense has given up less than half that average 204 yards dur ing conquests of Wyoming Utah and Minnesota rom the Nebraska point of view kicking appears to be all important The demand' is for long kicks with swift hard tack ling coverage And if the game is as tight as the handicappers' anticipate the even tually may fall on sophomore Paul Rogers whose late field goals nudged Wyoming and Minnesota KU counterpart is junior Bill Bell whose 16 con secutive conversions and six field goals made him second high KU scorer last season This year he is 18x22 in extra points and was successful in his sole field goal attempt But the big number in the battle plans is 23 worn by KU Tailback Donnie Shank lin who boasts four touch downs and a fantastic 167 yard

fully alerted eyes wide open and presumably loaded with all the adrenalin that fear of losing can provide Warrior Al Moore draws a crowd Rodgers Randy Peoples and Ken Lathan on ground Sad Time One of the sad things about the end of a baseball season is that some of the people you have lived with for so many years will not be around the following spring Joe Schultz one of our coaches has been named manager of the new Seattle club He deserves the chance to manage and sure do a good job Roger Maris has retired and there will be others missing as the result of trades and the expansion draft One of the real pleasures in baseball is the people you meet in this game and one of the saddest things is saying goodbye to old friends We have already made a few trades that will strengthen us for next year We obtained Vada Pinson from the Cincinnati Reds Vada is a fine player and speaking personally it will be a pleasure not having to pitch to him again With Vada Lou Brock and Curt lood I think we have the best outfield in baseball Certainly it is the fastest Another addition is Dave Giusti from Houston a good young pitcher who will strengthen our pitching staff On the basis of these trades I feel confident we another chance American League year's World Series inally I would like to say that I am grateful to have had this opportunity to cover the World Series and to express my opinions I tried to tell it like it was honestly and objectively I hope I suc ceeded four but Tom Stewart in tercepted toss at the one with 10 seconds left Both offenses picked up the second half Westside drove 54 yards to the Tech six and 79 yards which ended with second field goal in two games He kicked a 35 yardcr against Ryan Tech went 63 yards to 31 in the third quar ter but the Warrior defense diagnosed a screen pass to Rodgers and dropped him for a loss face kick run on fourth and nine was stopped at the 35 Rodgers fumbled the ball away at the Westside seven in the third period It was Volberding Woltemath who killed dying bid in the last minute After Griego took the Trojans to the Westside 41 on passes of 20 yards to Newby and 19 yards to Ray Woltemath smeared the quarterback for a 15 yard loss and Volberding pushed him back another nine A tired Rodgers enough left as it might outrun the the last play He picked up 15 yards to the Westside 35 after he was forced to run when he

disappointment of this World Series too no point worrying about it done is done and we have to begin working toward 1969 I have a very busy schedule this winter and that will help my mind off the

the whole Cardinal club and wives will go to Japan on a barnstorm ing tour We will play 17 games in five weeks there rot exactly anxious to play any more baseball this was a case of Tech futilelyknocking at the door The Tro jans were unable to cash in until it was too late The first quarter set the tone for frustration Two passes were intercepted and his pitch out went the wrong way Griego however made it a ball game with a frantic passing comeback in final minutes after Westside had apparently wrapped it up Larry Travis scored the only Tech points on a three yard dive i after William Newby took a Griego pass away from two defenders and raced 57 yards Westside showed its respect for the speed of Rodgers and Ray from the outset as Tom Pate flat kicked on every kick off rather than let Tobin the ball deep But the defensive line led by Volberding Jerry Caniglia Tony Villotta and Bob Woltemath showed little respect for the pair Rodgers who scored 62 points the first four games was held to 54 yards and was dropped for losses five times Ray with 30 points totaled 39 yards The timing of the big defensive plays along with Tech errors kept the Trojans off their customary pace Westside stopped drives at its 11 one seven and 35 Tech had two chances to score just before the half Warrior Jim von Tongeln dropped a punt at his 16 and Rodgers picked it up and scored but the ball was ruled dead where he touched it Westside held at the i 11 after pass to Newby I was just nut of the end zone 1 Tech 'eached the Warrior Games Tonight Omaha ot Tulsa Kansas Citv

Nebraska passing rec ords during a three yea ca reer says the caliber of play in the CL has been tougher than I ever anticipat ed it would A New Lesson The Mustang quarterback while dissatisfied with his performance that has resulted in 11 interceptions says learning a new lesson every game 1 lines are bigger and quicker than I faced in col Bob said put a lot of pressure on you But probably the biggest dif ference from college to pro ball is the secondary defensive men pass defenders cover much closer and play it much tougher than in college generally quicker and have better reactions than college Churchich said he has had trouble hitting receivers at the right time hesitated sometimes and cost in terceptions or he admitted Ranks No 3 But the Mustang passer still ranks No 3 in the far

and it has been costly In college defensiye backs know how to capitalize on About those dropped passes?
