He fell behind to Northrup and the Tiger outfielder was waiting for the cripple to belt the decisive sixth hit. UNTIL NORTHRUP went to work the game had hinged on two jarring collisions between Reggie Jackson and Bill Freehan at the plate. Freehan dropped the ball the first time and enabled the A's to score a run.

But he held on the second time as Jackson belted him head first to help cut Oakland off in their best scoring chance in the eighth inning-Jackson went down swinging with one out in the fourth but the pitch bounced in the dirt past Freehan for a wild pearances all year, had to retire only one man to pick up the decision. He relieved Fred Lasher with two out in the 13th after singles by Jose Tartaluill and Sal Bando put runners on second and first. A passed ball moved both of them up to scoring position as Scherman got two quick strikes on Tito Francona. He then missed on three straight pitches before getting Francona on a chopper to Tom Tresh at shortstop. Lauzerique, working his second inning, struck out the first two men he faced in the 13th.

Cash then lined a single to BY GEOKGE CANTOR Jim Northrup polished off his greatest night in the majors Thursday by drilling his sixth hit of the game off the light tower on the right-field roof. The 13th inning home run gave the Tigers a 5-3 decision over Oakland and also handed Fred Scherman his first big league victory. Northrup smashed six straight hits off four different pitchers, starting and ending with a home run and ripping four singles in between. The last one was a 3-0 pitch from George Lauzerique, the fifth man Hank Bauer had shuttled into the game in an effort to stop the Tigers. The loss dropped Oakland 3 games behind Minnesota in the race for the Western Division title.

DETROIT SCORED all its runs on homers. A two-run shot into the overhang by Norm Cash in the seventh accounted for the other two Detroit runs and sent the game into overtime. The A's stranded 17 men on base, but airtight relief work by Pat Dobson, Tom Timmer-man and Scherman shut them off. Scherman, who had pitched Just three innings in two ap EAST LANSING THE WINNER and still champion: Michigan State. The Spartans won this week's Diet Derby by serving up no less than spaghetti for brunch at their press-picture day Thursday and while this may create ill feeling elsewhere, spaghetti at any time of the day has to top U-M's hamburgs and onions, Olivet's steak and eggs and even Ellen Farkas' corn on the cob last Monday in Traverse City.

Duffy also wrapped up the Super Bowl in his little talk with the writers and radiomen from around the state and if the Spartans don't go 10-0 this season it is going to be a very big surprise. In less than one hour, Duffy Daugherty told the world he has 0 Maybe the best quarterback Michigan State has ever had. 0 The best offensive line he has ever had.

Eando sent him to third with a double. Danny Cater then sent a hopper to Don Wert at third base and he fired to the plate. John Rice called Jackson out but the impact knocked the ball away from Freehan the run counted.

Tom Reynolds followed with a single to score Bando with the third Oakland run. THE TWO homers gave Northrup a total of 18 for the year, while the six-for-six night lifted his average 11 points to .277.

3 Lions Cut, 1 Missing Area nMruitiiig IF YOU DON'T believe this, all of it is in Jack story and that makes Jack a lucky guy. He is got into the final five games of the season. While these three players were departing Thursday, another left on his own. And general manager Russ Thomas is trying to get him back. It's Henry Carr, former Olympic gold medal winner.

Despite walking out, Thomas refused to put Carr on waivers. Another roster cut will be made Monday when the team must get down to 49 George Chatlos, the tough linebacker and kickoff specialist for Michigan State from 1965-67, was one of three players cut by the Lions Thursday as coach Joe Schmidt pared the roster to 56 players for the trip to Tampa and Saturday's game with the Washington Redskins. Chatlos was signed as a free agent and spent last year on the Lions' taxi squad.

Kent, signed as a free agent from Utah last year, was on the 1968 taxi squad and when injuries crippled the defensive line. covering the bpartans for us this year and that means he gets to go to Pasadena on New Year's Day and to New Orleans for the Super Bowl on Jan. 12, -v.

The Spartan elf was in flashy form and proved it by taking his annual swing at pro football.

"I think the college game is much more exciting because we run our quarterbacks and they don't," said Daugherty. "I can't blame them for not running their passers but a long incompleted pass is not my idea of an exciting play. II Likes His (v CarjM'l "IN FACT, I've been watching some of the pro games on my TV set and if it weren't for my love of the game, I'd have turned on Bonanza." Duffy didn't mention what team he was watching nor did anybody ask him. It was a very polite gathering. Daugherty also did his usual lamenting about how tough a schedule he's got and after talking all around it, he smiled and said: "When you get right down to it, we'd rather beat Michigan than artyone else if we had a choice." He quickly added: "But unfortunately some years we don't have a choice." Duffy likes the new carpet on the floor of Spartan Stadium.

His team will use low cut cleats and Duffy said MSU, being an institute recognized for its fair play, will keep a bank of shoes on hand for use by the opposition. "Of course, they'll have a few nails in them," said Daugherty. The Duff went on like this all through dessert and he fumbled the ball only twice when he failed to mention Craig Wycinsky and Debbie Spencer. Craig is the starting right tackle on offense and Debbie, a cheerleader, is the prettiest freshman on campus. Both are from North Farmington.

You have not only Duffy's word for it, but those of acting MSU president Walter Adams.

"When I was named to this position (it was April Fool's Day) I decided I wanted to have the shortest tenure on record and also the best football team on record," Adams noted Thursday. "DUFFY IS the top weapon in our arsenal to curb student unrest here," the president continued, "by having a Big Ten and Rose Bowl champion." Adams thus made a quick handoff to Daugherty whose tenure now has reached 1G seasons and rather than gulp of his staff spent five days In Houston last spring studying Bill Yeoman's new option offense which has made Houston the nation's leading offensive power for three straight seasons. "We installed it in spring -drills and are exceptionally pleased with our progress," Doolittle tells you. "In the in-trasquad game last spring the varsity ran up 520 yards." Doolittle lias three quarter-hacks to get the job done. at the suggestion, Duff more or less hinted that a title team wasn't all that wild a notion.

The veteran coach ticked off the names of a cluster of stars or potential stars that approximated the number on the Spartans' classic 1965-66 powers. "YOU'LL KECALL we had seven or eight superstars on that team, but our second team couldn't beat anybody," Daugherty said. "But we got through without serious 1 -juries. We'll need the same good fortune this year." In addition to a lack of depth, Daugherty cited two critical areas development of his inexperienced defensive secondary and "mounting a passing game of our own."

As pass receivers, an item which was sorely lacking last season, there's Al Bellile, Jerry Steinke, Dale Wendell, Pete LaRouech, Greg Flaska and Lee Thompson available.

The Bordeaux-Bellile com-. bination presents quite a story. In high school at Saginaw St. Andrew, Bordeaux hit Bellile with 74 passes in their senior year; "I think we're going to be 30 percent improved over last year," Doolittle said, "I only hope our opponents aren't just as much improved.

He's found it's the only way to go in this business. A former assistant under Paul Dietzel at Army, Doolittle has not exactly set the world on fire in five seasons as head coach of Western Michigan University. His record is a modest 24-21-1, but you don't find anyone on this campus of 20,300 students yelling for the' coach's scalp. "Whether' we win or lose, we're always a respectable team," said the coed who works as a waitress at the Holiday Inn. "We're behind our team and our coach." Frankly, Doolittle would rather be ahead than behind.

Ahead like he was in 1965 when his Broncos finished 6-2-1 or in 1966 when the record read 7-3. Last season was a disaster as far as Doolittle was concerned. The Broncos finished 3-6 and that guy Mercury Morris at West Texas State (now with the Miami Dolphins) ran for 260 yards against his Broncs. Doolittle sees better things in 1969.
