Rick Gerry tossed a scoring aerial to end Km Walk in the lirsl periid and Gooeh Whitte more converted to make it 7 0. I'endleton tallied in the second quarter on a 02-yard pass inter ception but the Wildcats forward wall blocked the attempted kick. The Wildcats clinched the game with only 3:06 left to play when Whittcmcre plunged into the end z.ne following an inter cepted pass and a 59 yard drive. Andy Kauwolf added the extra point cn a charge through the line. I'endleton took the opening kickoff and marched steadily down the field to pick up a first down on the Wildcat tw; yard line. Three plays lost yardage for I'endletcn before 'Phil Gray fell on a Pcndlet.-n fumble. The Wildcats failed to move the ball in three downs and Ger ry punted to Pendleton. An over- eager halfback bubbled the ball and La Grande recovered deep in Pendleton territory. Two run ning plays picked up only scant yards and then Gerry faded to pass and hit Walk l:wn the east sideline and in back of the last yellow-shiited defender fur the TD. The two teams battled scoreless through the remainder of the lirst period and the first eight minutes of the second. With 3:48 showing on the clock, Ger ry, back to pass, had his toss picked off and returned 02 yards for Pcndlctrn's only score. The third period was scoreless and both teams had drives thwarted by intercepted passes, lumhles and penalties. La Grande's one point bulge kept growing larger and larger as time faded. Pendleton's Tony Servieh, a poised sophomore quarterback, directed the Pendle ton team closer to the La Grande gi al and the winning score be fore fortune smiled on La Grande. The Wildcats picked off a Ser vitch aerial and returned the ball to the Wildcat 44. On the tirst play, Gerry rolled out to his right, cut hack to the middle and rambled 32 yards to the I'end leton 24 before he was tackled. Whiltemore gained nine yards! to the 13 and Larry Nice, who had contributed several Png luns tol,.. .w 0.r.

Wildcat coach Curtis I ox was pleased with the vieloiy but said the team didn't play well. "We made a lot of mistakes, but we won." Cox said.

The trial opened Monday in what Carbo and his attorney. Abraham Brodsky, thought would be a routine appearance. But be fore the day was out, the dapper Carbo wound up in jail with a mil lion dollar federal tax suit to think about and Brodsky wound up in a heated debate with judge John S Mullen. Brodsky sought to gain a post MKicnicat because he is sched uled to take part in a murder trial in Brooklyn on Oct. 19. He told Mullen he was under the im pression that Monday's appear ance was only to set a date for Carbo's trial. However. Mullen ordered the trial to begin and an effort was made to pick a jury. Brodsky re- lused to participate and Carbo, named in a 10-couiit indictment charging conspiracy, acting as an unlicensed matchmaker and em ploying others as fronts, likewise relused when offered the oppor tunity to question talesmen.

Variety In Attack But the Huskies aren't the only club with the multiple offense. "We have been using between six and seven tyoes of offenses," rays coach Len Casanova of Ore gon. They all must be good because the Webfoots are unbeaten this year with victories over Stanford, Utah and Washington State. But hear the sad story of Joe Verducci,' San Francisco State coach with a 3-0 record this year. Toe Many Tigers i had a man scout Occiden tal, our next Opponent," said Ver ducci, "And he sent me a dia gram that is confusing to say the least. "It shows a spread of 15 yards on each side of the center. On the right are four linemen; on the left two linemen the guards being more than 30 yards apart. Then it shows two backs be hind the four linemen; and two more backs behind the other two linemen on the left side. "On top of that, nine yards back of the center, is another back. "The way I figure this all out is that Occidental has been play ing with 12 men all year but the opposition is so confused with players spread all over the field that no one has noticed it yet." It used to be the single wing and-or the T-formation. But now you can take your choice: single wing, double-win, multiple wing, T-formation, Split-T, spread for mation, etc. As a matter of fact, it has got to the place where a coach can't even have good night-mares any more.

Chief Justice Earl Warren has been asked to block any immediate plans to move the Washington Senators' baseball franchise awny from the nation's capital. H. Gabriel Murphy, who owns more than one-third of the stock in the club, filed a petition which, if granted by Warrea, would tie up club President Calvin Griffith in any clfort to move the ball club to another ' city possibly Minneapolis. Warren, a baseball fan himself. was asked by Murphy Monday to issue a temporary restraining or der that would bar Griffith from initiating any franchise change. In response, attorneys for the Senators filed a reply declaring such an order would "seriously interfere" with the "ordinary and necessary operations'' of the club. The attorneys said Murphy should post security of at least live mil-1 lion dollars to cover any dam- j ages his action might cause.

Ignoring the fact that he now is 1-7 in World Series play, he added; "We haven't done anything the easy way all-year and we can't expect it now.'' Yet, without unshackling those baserunners. his task looked vir tually hopeless. For in two record attendance games in the Coliseum, the 'White Sox have stranded a killing total of 20 base runners. Nine men left on base con tributed to their ruin Monday as they fell. 5 to 4, before an eighth inning home run by veteran Gil Hodges adding to the saga of those old Brooklyn heroes who went West with the franchise two years ago. The Dodgers had rolled up a four-run lead with a third-inning barrage of five straight hits which routed Early Wynn, the burly righthander who treated them so scornfully in that opening 11-0 rout at Chicago. Compounding his ditmissal were two White Sox er rors and a passed ball. Meanwhile, the White Sox playing before a second straight record scries crowd of 92,550 left two on in the first inning when Sherm Lollar rapped into a dou ble play, one on in the second and third, and two more aboard both in the fourth and sixth innings. Then, finally, they cracked through in the seventh to tie it up at 4-4 when Ted Kluszewski knocked in one run and Lollar got himself even for that first in ning double play smash by spank ing a three-run homer over the screen in left field. Hodges wiped it all out for them, and put their backs square ly against the wall, after they left another runner base-bound in the eighth. Gil led off the bottom of the innir.g with his payoff poke to give the triumph to young Larry Sherry and fasten the defeat on relief ace Gerry Staley.
