Yanks Can Cinch Pennant Tuesday; Wills Sets Mark With Pilfered Base No. 97 By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writtr Insatiable Maury Wills is going for 100, but the Yankees will settle for one more on Tuesday that would bring them their 12th American league pennant in 14 years. Wills elatedly announced "I'm going for 100 steals" upon passing Ty Cobb and setting a modern major league record for stolen bases Sun day with his 86th and 87th thefts of the year. Yankee manager Ralph Houk also had an announce ment after his team clinched at least a tie for the pennant with a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox in 10 in nings. "This thing could go dawn to the wire," Houk said, con vincing absolutely no one in light of the Yanks' 4Vs game lead. Seeing that no one was buy ing his conservatism, Houk noted that the Yankees play Washington on Tuesday night and Wednesday and admitted "wo should win one of those." Couli? Still Clinch One is all it will take, but even if the Yanks lose to the Senators Tuesday night, they can still clinch if the second place Minnesota Twins lost their game to the Cleveland Indians. For Wills as well as the Yankees, it'll be all downhill from here on in. The 29-ycar-old Dodger whippet, who broke Cobb's 47-year-old record even though his team was trounced, 12-2, by the St. Louis Cardinals, tied the Georgia Peach's mark of 96 steals after singling off Larry Jackson in the third inning and established the new mark after singling again in the seventh. Wills received a loud ova tion from the St. Louis crowd of 20,743 and was presented with the actual base he stole to surpass Cobb. PREP FOOTBALL SATI 1UIAV GAMHS Jetlerson l'J.

Lois Cuts Lead Despite Wills' record, the Dodgers' lead in the National league was shaved to three games when the second-place San Francisco Giants shellack ed the Houston Colts, 10-3. Don Drysdale, the Dodgers' 25-game winner, failed to last four innings as the Cardinals scored eight of their runs off him and saddled him with his eighth defeat. Stan Musial and Bill White each drove in three runs to help Jackson notch his 15th triumph. Elston Howard's two - run homer climaxed a four-run 10th inning rally by the Yan kees that balked Early Wynn's bid to win the 300th game of his major league career. The loss was the 14lh of the season for the 41-year-old Wynn, who has won seven this year. Bill Stafford held the White Sox to five hits for his 14th vic tory.

Washington Spills Cleveland 17-16 in Week-End NFL Upset Br NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Bobby Mitchell of the Washington Redskins Is living testimony to the old sports adage which says, "When you trade a player, send him far enough away so he can't come back to haunt you." Apparently, coach Paul Brown of Cleveland didn't send Bobby-the-Bomb quite far enough. Mitchell caught a 15-yard pass from Norm Snead during the last two minutes of play Sunday and raced 35 more yards for a touchdown which enabled the Redskins to edge the Browns, 17-16, in the big St. Mary's Lakeview ROGUK LEAGUE BRANDINGS Phoenix 1 0 1.000 St. Mary'f 1 0 Eafle Point 1 0 Henley 1 0 Lakeview 1 t Sacred Heart 0 2 Rofue River 0 1 lUlnoii Valley 0 1 1.000 l.ooo 1.000 J00 .000 J000 .000 St. Mary's high's Crusad ers, applying mobility to ad vantage, tamed the Lakeview Honkers here Saturday in a Rogue league football brush. The Medford parochial school aggregation touch downed once In every quarter to outscore the easternmost located member of the cir cuit, 28 to 7. t was the first league game and second vic tory of the season for St. Mary's. Lakeview has broken even in two league frays. Greater speed and quick ness, both on offense and de fense, mostly made the differ ence in a verdict which came more easily than expected. But for fumbles the decision might have been even more lopsided. The Crusaders fum bled four times and two bob bles worked to set up the lone touchdown by the Honkers. 81 Yard Drive St. Mary's promenaded 81 yards to the goal on their first opportunity to move the ball. Lakeview knotted up the scramble in the early second period but the Crusaders moved right out to go on top again. Margin was 13 to 7 at the half and 19 to 7 at the thrce-fourlhs mark. Jim Calhoun pitched two touchdown passes for SM, to Pete Naumes and Ron Rob erts, scored once on a run and kicked two conversion point. Tom Darland first tal lied for the Medford team. "Night Train'1 Layne Clifton daphed for the Honker TD and Fred Williams toed the conversion kick. The Crusaders Intercepted three passes and had one in terception TD run called back. This swipe, however, even tually led to a counter as did one of two fumbles by t h e Honkers. Penalties marred the efforts of both teams. St. Mary's barged from its own 19 to the goal In eight plays in the initial quarter, helped along by a Lakeview personal foul infraction. Cal houn rambled 17 yards on a bootleg play. Darland skirted right end for six yards and the score. Field Goal Tried A St. Mary's fumble by Darland on Its 31 started the Lakeview second panel bid. Bill Duke recovered for the Honkers. In five plays Lake view had fourth down on the 15-yard line. Fred Williams tried a field goal. The kick looked good from the side lines but officials said it was wide to left. The Medford club took over on its 20 but Lakeview got the ball right back when Jim Webb muffed and Myron Steward recovered on the SM 15 stripe. Lakeview banged to the four In four plays. On the next Clifton swung around right end to the paying lone. Williams' kick tied the clubs at 7 each. Calhoun ran the short kick off back 29 yards to the Lakeview 44. Eight plays lat er Calhoun crossed the goat from the one. A Calhoun to Pete Naumes pass picked up 15 of the yards. Punt Attempt Fails It was well Into the third quarter when the Crusaders scored again. St. Mary's held the Honkers to fourth and seven on the Lakeview 24. Fred Williams back to punt fumbled the ball. He recovered it, himself. But Mike Stlnson and John Lucas pounced on him. The Crusaders took over on the 15. Calhoun followed MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON gest upset of the young Na tional Football league season. The result placed the 'Skins in the unique, undisputed the utterly unforeseen position of Eastern division leader with the only undefeated record in that half of the NFL. Milt Plum, another player traded away by the Browns this year, also turned in a brilliant performance, but his havoc was far enough away not to hurt his old teammates. Plum threw four touchdown passes in leading the Detroit Lions to a 45-24 win over the San Francisco Forty Niners. In other games the cham pion Green Bay Packers, Chi- Thumps Honkers on the next play with a TD pass to Naumes. Lakeview fought back to the SM 37 but was set back to its 48 for clipping. Vern Plato hurled a pass. It was stolen at midfield by Naumes, who rumbled to the Honker zone, only to have a hands in fraction rule out a score. After five plays the Cru saders had the ball with fourth down and four yards to go. Calhoun faded to pass, was trapped and dropped the ball. But, he retrieved the pigskin, scampeded to his right and threw the ball. Roberts gathered it in for the final score. Lata Opportunity Other than in the second quarter the Honkers were no serious offensive threat. The Crusaders had a late oppor tunity in that canto when Larry Padrta fell on a Ken Quigley fumble on the Honker 33. A Calhoun to Naumes pass put the ball on the 17. Ran dy Corliss boomed to the nine but the ball slipped from his grasp and Clifton recovered for the visitors. An interception by Calhoun gave SM another chance in quarter No. 3. He got back to the Lakeview 33 but the Medford's were put back on the 48 for clipping. Then a Calhoun to Naumes pass gain ed to the 20, Calhoun on the next play fumbled and Gary Moss recovered for the visit ors on the 21. Roberts made the other in terception. St, Mary's had a 15 to nine first down margin and led in net scrimmage yards 264 to 175. Penalties totaled 95 yards in seven carries for St. Mary's and Jim Webb 53 for 12. John Leavitt headed Lake- view with 36 in five. Calhoun saw eight of his 16 passes completed for 111 yards. SM Coach Bill McKibbin Indicated desire to see game films before making much comment on performances of his players. He said there may be some changes after the films are seen. He did cite good work by ends Roberts and Naumes and quarterback Calhoun. The Crusader mentor re marked that he wished that Lakeview would have been stronger, thereby giving his club a chance to better pre pare for next Saturday's scrap with Phoenix. SM end Dennis Rose crack ed an elbow in the mix and tackle Tom Hutchinson sus tained a dislocated shoulder. McKibbin said it is doubtful that they'll be available for the Phoenix game.

Green Bay wore down the St. Louis Cardinals, 17-0; the Bears defeated the Los Angel es Rams, 27-23, for a sweep of their two-game West Coast junket, and the Colts stamped ed the Minnesota Vikings, 34-7. The speedy 192-pound Mitchell, who played his first four NFL seasons for Cleve land, could turn out to be the "steal" of the season for Wash ington. He now has scored four touchdowns as the 'Skins scored a tie and a victory, Cleveland still had a chance to win the game after Mitch ell's touchdown. With seven seconds left to play, Lou Groza tried a 35-yard field goal. The kick was blocked but Cleve land recovered and Groza had another shot from 50 yards out. Again the boot was blocked. Washington went Into the game a 16-point underdog and had not beaten the Browns since 1956.
