A v-" Hli no one believed they could do for the first time beat Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax. IT'LL BE DRYSDALE against Jim Grant in Sunday's fourth game, with Koufax going against Jim Kaat in Monday's fifth game. The Dodgers said things would be different when they got the Twins in their own ball park, where the baseballs bounce like golf balls through the infield and the fly balls carry like toy But conditions in the stadium didn't mean anything to Osteen.

He would have beaten the Twins in a broom closet or out at the L.A. airport. Nobody was about to touch his low fast ball. BY JOE FALLS Fr Prwt Sports Wrttdf LOS ANGELES It wasn't the smog. It wasn't the sun.

It wasn't even those dazzling drivers on the Los Angeles freeways. It was Claude Osteen, a Tennessee mountain boy, who blinded the Minnesota Twins in the third game of the World Series in Chavez Ravine Saturday. The slow-speaking, low-pitching southpaw blanked the Twins, 4-0, to put. the Dodgers back In contention for the title. The Twins still hold the edge, two games to one, but row they must prove they can do for a second time what Osteen allowed only five hits and after surviving Zoilo Versalles' shock double on the first pitch of the game, it was a Tennessee Waltz for him.

Hi teammates behaved in a very tin-Dodger-lile manner, getting 10 base hits five of them doubles and scoring four whole runs. It was like Christmas on the Coast for Osteen. who vas getting accustomed to only four runs every month. He had a 15-15 record for the Dodger and in those 15 defeats they scored a smashing 19 runs for him. That's 1.26 runs per game, for the statisticians in th audience.

Not oven walker Johnson or Walter Mitty could win with that sort of support. "Oh. you get used to it." said Osteen, a man who used jto pitch for the Washington Senators.

pretty good. Getting eight hits and three runs off the 31-year-old veteran, who was trying: to win a World Series game just two month? after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. The sellout crowd of 55.934 enjoyed every moment of this one, for these were the Dodgers they know and love a reckless band of banjo hitters. For the first time in 1b series, the Dodgers flashed their celebrated speed, and if it didn't upset manager Sam Mele's men. it caused them to do plenty of thinking.

The Dodgers stole three bas and ran aggressively all aftei -noon, and it was their speed which forced the turning point in the game. That's when Mele decider! to bring his infield in the way on the lpft side and 1 halfway on the right side when thp Dodgers filled th bases with one out in the fourth. I It was 0-0 at the time, with Klohn Roseboro the batter, and 'Mele decided he'd rather go for a play at the plate than lay back for a double play. The strategy was questionable since it was still comparatively early in the game and neither team had scored.

For the in proud Michigan, the only meaning was Mishap. What it all added up to was the Spartans over the Wolverines, 24-7, in the neighborhood football classic that began in wildness and ended with MSU methodically pounding the Wol-' verinen into their home turf. It was a sad day for the Big Ten and Rose Bowl champion Wolverines, a fine day for MSU before 103,219 rain-soaked fans. THE SPARTANS strong-armed their way around on defense until Michigan was left with a minus 39 yards rushing. Most of the deficit was at the expense of U-M quarterback Dick Vidmer, who was slammed down in the second half for 51 yards in losses trying to pass.

At the end, even the substitutes were getting their shots at Vidmer. Webster was the standout of the chill, damp afternoon.

When you lose three members of your starting backfield, though, it changes your plans. MICHIGAN threw enough passes to make even a pro quarterback's arm sore. The Wolverines, whose ground game was almost non-existent, tried 40 passes, hitting on 17 of them. "I suppose that's some sort of a record," Elliott mused, but we must have set one for passes dropped, too." Sophomore Dick Vidmer tossed 29 of the passes most of them after a first-half injury to Wally Gabler.

This was a loss that really hurt. Georgia? One of those things, maybe but that Duffy Daugherty he really knows how to hurt a guy. And a nice guy like Bump Elliott, too. "I'm very disappointed." said Elliott, who really didn't have to Bay it it was obvious. "I'm disappointed, but not discouraged.

"OUR BOTS want to play. I thought we played a darn good defensive football game, but our offense couldn't sustain a drive and we still have trouble hanging on to the ball." It was a typical Spartan-Wolverine affair hard-hitting all the way just like the traffic: bumper to bumper. Players squared off on several occasions and the blocking and tackling was awe-nme. Some of the boys were hit so hard they didn't know If they were in Ann Arbor or Benton 'arbor. Michigan lost this "game," too, and without alibiing, Elliott explained how the injures affected his game strategy.
