Tell Tale
By NEIL ANDERSEN
Observer Staff Writer
College of Idaho, aided by
gale-force winds, struck swiftly
for three touchdowns in the
first period then rolled on to
crush Eastern Oregon College
356 Saturday night.
The Coyotes, running with a
hi Knot wina at tneir backs, tal
lied twice on runs of 37 and 41
ardt and sandwiched a 44-yard
pass-run play in between to lead
at the end of the period, 21-0
Charlie Alvaro, c of I's strong
arm quarterback, did most of
the first period damage as he
rambled 37 yards on a keeper
play around ri';ht end to dent the
Mountaineer end zone after 8:C5
had been played. He passed to
Larry Anderson for the second
sc:rc and converted after both
TPs.
The Coyotes kept the Mount
ameers well contained until the
fourth period. EOC took the
kick off following C of I's last
TD and marched 62 yards to
post their first touchdown of the
season.
The Mountaineer score came on
a nine-yard pass from Jon Houk
to Dennis Bagncll and was the
only pass completed by EOC in
eight attempts.
Jerry Williams. EOCs leading
ground-gainer with 78 yards In
17 attempts, picked up eight
yards at end following the kick-
eff return to the 38-yard stripe.
Houk sneaked through the
renter for six yards and a first
down. Sam "Clickity" Clack
banged up the center for five
mors yards and Houk rambled
15 vards through center for a
first down on the Coyote's 25.
Williams smashed through left
tackle for a nine yard advance
and Iluk got the first down on
another sneak at center. Wil
liams picked up five on a "quic
kie" at left tackle and Houk
made two at end.
A running play lost a yard and
then Houk passed to Bagnall for
the six points. John Willmarth's
kick was off to the right.
The Coyotes picked up their
second tcuchdown on a pass
from Alvaro to Larry Anderson
that covered 44 yards. Willmarth
punted but the strong wind blew
the ball out of bounds on the m
A penalty cost the Coyotes five
vards before Alvaro connected
in the air.
The Covotes made it 21-0
v.hen. the Mountaineers punted
alter four plays failed to gain a
tirt down.
Don Shaffer busted over the
center of the Mountaineer line
?nd roared 41 yards for the
score as Mountaineers were
i knocked down all over the field
by the sharp blocking Coyotes.
A single Coyote TD came in
the second period. Big play in
the drive that carried 34 yards
was a pass from Alvaro to end
Bob Asmus. With a third down,
three, situation, Alvaro passed
and a Mountaineer defender got
his hands cn the ball and knock
ed it into the air. Asmus grab
bed the ball and turned it into
a seven yard gain and a first
down on the eight instead of a
fourth down play.
Gordon Cochnour scored from
a yard out after another pass
moved the ball to the one.
The two teams battled on fair
ly even terms following the in
termission. The Ccyotes stopped,
a Mountaineer drive on the 35 1
and then began their own march.
EOC halted the drive but a first!
down pass was intercepted by!
Andersen and three plays later
Gary Lappin plunged over from)
a loot out for the final score.
Alvaro added four extra points
for the Coyotes. Kicking in his
stocking feet, he booted two
thrcusih the uprights and ran
two others across the goal line.
Ken Brocke accounted for the
other PAT. '
The wind which howled across
the field was a big factor in the
game. Willmarth, EOCs league
leading punter last year, booted
five times, four into the wind,
ind averaged only 22.4 yards
His one kick with the wind
traveled 41 yards into the end
lone.

EUGENE H'PI' - A couple of
Daves showed Oregon lootball
fans here Saturday that the Uni
versity of Oregon Webfoots do
have an offensive punch this sea
son. One of the Davis, a 190-pound
piledriving fullback. Dave Powell,
scored all three Orego.i touch
downs in the Webfoots 21-6 win
over Utah.
The other Dave, junior quarter
back Dave Grosz, for the second
week demonstrated that he has
bectme a seasoned field general
for Coach Len Casanova's troops
who play host to Washington State
here Saturday.
Hit Passes
Grosz connected on 7 of 11 pass
es and directed the Webfoots of
fense flawlessly.-
Oregon started quickly by tak
ing the opening kickoff and driv
ing to the L'tes three, where the
stubborn L'tes held the Ducks on
downs.
Three plays later all-coast cen
ter Bob Peterson recovered a
blocked quick kirk attempt and
Powell dove over from the two
on the next play. Reserve quarter
back Roger Daniels kicked his
first of three conversions.
Grosz directed the Ducks on
identical 71-yard ma'ches in the
second and third periods for
scores.
Short Plunges Score
Powell capped both drives with
smashes over left guard from
one-yard out.
The Redskins were not out of
the ball game, however, with the
steady passing of Ken Vierra, who
connected on 11 of 18 for 159
yards.
Vierra led the L'tes on an 80
yard drive In 20 plays to their
only score In the fourth quarter.
Monk Bailey plunged over from
the two-yard-line. In the final min

Roger Craig and Bob Buhl, who
a yea" ago wondered if they had
any future at all in baseball,
scored the most important vic
tories of their careers in the clos
ing hours of the National League
pennant race.
But, even so, they were forced
to share th headlines with 34-year-old
Sam Jones, who pitched
one of the greatest "Money''
games of all time in vain.
Craig, a 28-year-old right-hander
from Durham, N.C.. pitched a
six-hitter to beat the Chicago
Cubs, 7-1, and insure the Los An
geles Doigers a tie for the flag,
while Buhl, bushy-browed fire

Confident
Of Win
CHICAGO UPI The Los An
geles Dodgers left Chicago today
fully confident of returning to the
Windy City before the week is out
to meet the Chicago White Sox
in the World. Series.
The business at hand, however,
was a trip to Milwaukee to meet
the Braves in the first game of
a best-of-three playoff to deter
mine the National League pen
nant winner. ,
The players, who worked their
way into the playoff with a 7-1
victory over the Chicago Cubs
Sunday, predicted they would be
back to battle the American
League champions.
"Too bad we don't get a day
off before playing the Braves.
Then we could work out at Comis
key Park to get used to it for
the Series," said Don Zimmer.
Manager Walt Alston refused to
count his chickens that way.
"We've got to take care of the
Braves first," he said. "I think
it would be a jinx to say any
thing about the White Sox now."
The Dodgers, behind the six-hit
pitching of Roger Craig and two
run homers by John Roseboro and
Charley Ncal, scored an easy
victory on the field compared to
the one they sweated out while
listening to a radio account of
the Phillies-Braves contest at Mil
waukee. Announcement of the Braves
victory took some steam out of the
dressing room jubilance, but the
players expressed confidence that
nothing could stop the Dodgers
momentum now.
"We'll beat the Braves," said
several players.

the Milwaukee Braves' 5-2 -tri
umph over the Philadelphia Phil
lies. Craig Wen 11th
Craig, who had made only two
hits in 51 previous at bats, sin
gled home the first two Los An
geles runs in the second inning
and it was a walkaway thereafter
as Charlie Neal and John Rose
boro iced the cake with two-run
homers. Craig, who didn't join
the Dodgers until June, won his
11th game while striking qui two
batters and walking two.
Buhl, aided by Don McMahon
in the eighth and ninth innings
after departing for a pinch-hitter,
gained credit for his 15th victory.
He battled Jim Owens on a 1-1
basis until the seventh inning
when the Braves shoved across
three runs on two singles, a walk,
an error, a balk and an jnfield
out. McMahon, making his 58th
appearance of the year, yielded
three hits but was touched , for
only a ninth-inning run.
Jones answered his critics ence
and for all Saturday night with
his seven-inning no-bit, - 4-0 ' vic
tory over the Cardinals. It was
all in vain for hard-luck Sam
who finished with a 21-15 record
because his no-hitter won't be
counted officially and his victory
was wasted when the Giants blew
their Sunday doubleheadec to the
Cardinals, 2-1, and 14-8.

Slate's Beavers, winless in two
starts, today began preparation
for another long trip cast. The
Beavers Saturday will collide with
Nebraska at Lincoln.
With a potentially powerful of
fense, OSC rolled to a 14-0 half
time lead over Texas Tech last
weekend at Lubbock, only to see
the Red Raiders stage a brilliant
come-from-behind effort to squeak
past the Beavers, 15-14 in the last
minute.
After a stout OSC defense had
held Tech to a minus nine yards
in the opening half, quarterback
Ken Talkington peppered the
Beaver secondary with passes in
the second half and then scored
both Raider touchdowns on keeper
plays from the one-yard line.
Sophs Score Far OSC
Sophomore halfback Bake Tur
ner was Talkington's favorite tar
get. With less than a minute and
a half left in the game Talkington
hit Turner for a 34 yard gain to
the OSC five. Two plays later
Beaver fullback Chuck Marshall
was called for pass interference
on the Beaver one, and Talkington
dove over the line into the end
zone to tie the score at 14-all.
Then the Raider field boss
stepped back and booted the one
point conversion try true to nail
the win.
A pair of sophomore did all the
Oregon State scoring. Wingback
Art Gilmore tallied in the open
ing seconds of the second period
on a reverse from seven yards
out and tailback Don Kasso pick
ed up the two points on a sweep.
Stinnett Hurt
Kasso scored later in the same
period from the nine-yard-line to
give the Beavers their 14-0 lead
at the intermission. - -
Fullback Jim Stinnette, the top
OSC rusher of the game, was
benched with an injury on the
opening play of the second half.
Stinnette racked up SO yards in 13
carries.
