By KRED DOWN UP1 Sports Writer If the Los Angeles Dodgers had their way, there would be two Cy Young pitcher-of-thc-ycar awards for the 1963 season one for Sandy Koufax and one for Ron Perranoski. Brilliant as the 24-game-win-ning, 11-shutout and 288-strikc-out Koufax has been, the Dodg ers could not possibly be on the threshold of the '63 flag-clinch- ine today without the 26-year-oia relief pitching wizard from Pat- erson, N.J. The six-foot, ino-pound left hander whose chief stock in trade is a sharp-breaking curve ball, demonstrated his value again Wednesday night when he shut out the St. Louis Cardinals for the final six in nings of the Dodgers' climactic 6-5, 13-inning triumph. The victory Wednesday night raised Pcrranoski's season rec ord to 16-3 and his six shutout innings reduced his earned run average to 1.74. Both his won lost percentage and his ERA are superior to Koufax' and he has appeared in a league-leading to tal of 65 games. Pcrranoski's performance in the big game Wednesday night was typical : three hits, two walks and three strikeouts in six innings. He was in one serious jam when the Cardinals mica the bases with one out in the 10th but he pitched out of it without allowing a run. Winning Run Unearned With Perranoski holding the fort it was a question of when the Dodgers would catch up to Lew Burdette which they final ly did in the 13th when Willie Davis' single, Junian Javier's er ror, a deliberate walk and Mau ry Wills' infield out pushed over an unearned but decisive run. The Milwaukee Braves beat the San Francisco Giants, 6-4, the Chicago Cubs edged out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, the Hou ston Colts downed the Cincinnati Reds, 8-4, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mels, 5-1, in other NL action.

That was the prediction of Coach Vern Steward of the Eagle Point high football team Perranoski, Nen Shine In Triumph by LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor ST. LOUIS (UPI) - The Los Angeles Dodgers have the 1963 National league pennent wrap. Deri up in a great big beautiful package today because of man ager Walt Alston s taun in an iron nerved veteran and rookie playing his first major league game. With their spine-tingling 6-5, 13-inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Wed n e s d a y night, the Dodgers reduced their pennant clinching magic number to a mere five. Mathe matical certainty is a mere matter of time because the Dodgers have nine games re maining and the Cardinals have seven, with any combination of Dodger wins and Cardinal losses totaling "five" ending the race. Alston himself refused to claim the flag and Cardinal man ager Johnny Kcane refused to concede it toon? but it will take an almost incredible combina tion of a Dodger collapse and a Cardinal counter - drive to pre vent Los Angeles from meeting the New York Yankees in the World Scries. That combination seems al most impossible after the Dodg ers completed their three-game sweep of the Cardinals thanks to Alston's faith in Ron Perra noski and rookie Dick Nen. Nen Homer Ties It was Perranoski, season long relief star of the league, who shut out the Ketthirris for the final six innings to post his lfilh victory against only three defeats. And it was Nen, a 2:1-yenr-old first baseman (nun Wilmington, Calif., who reported to the team earlier in the day, whose dramatic nintli inning homer tied the game and sent it into extra innings. Alston stuck with Perranoski In the 10th when the Cardinals had the bases filled and one out on Dick Groat's inning - opening triple and deliberate walks to Ken Boyer and Bill White. He was rewarded when Parranoi-ki got out of the frame by getting Curl Flood to hit into a forceoul at the plate and Mike Shannon lo roll out to third - baseman ,iim Gilliam. "Perranoski was great," said Alston. "Just as he has been all year. I left him in because he's my ace reliever and I've seen him get out of jams like that before." Ncn's game-tying homer in the ninth it sailed over the right field pavilion roof put the hometown crowd of 25.975 In a state of shocked disbelief but it didn't surprise Alston. "I remembered him from spring training," said Alston. "I put him in the game when I did because I thought he was the best left-bunded pinch hitter 1 had available." Football Picks Made By Writer By HAL WOOD SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -It's pigskin picking time again and your prophet wishes to point out that he's the guy who is so brilliant that he picked the New York Yankees lo win the American league baseball pen nant chase. So with that warning, take a look at these: Southern California over Colo rado If the Trojans, with their fabulous "Four B's" don't win this one, then they are in for a peck of trouble. However, with quarterback Pete Beth ard pitching to end Hal Bcdsolc, Willie Brown skirting the ends, and Damon Bame backing the line the Trojans should waltz to victory. By 17 points.

By three. which meets the Grants Pass junior varsity on Saturday night here. "This week they've really started to hit," said Steward of his Eagles. Steward has done some re vamping in an effort to get more speed at certain positions. Dave Blair has been shifted from half back to end on defense, Dan Colcleascr from fullback to end on offense and Tim Palm and Dennis Murphy from end to tackle. Dale Chamberlain has been moved from linebacker to end on defense. "Slill Looking" The head coach said that he planned to use lots of players against the Cavemen. "I'm still looking for personnel," he said. Probable offensive starters are Ron Martinson and Col cleascr, ends; Merle Ford and Dale Herrmann, tackles: B air and Vic Eccleston, guards; Morgan Miller, center: Bill Ayres, fullback; Bob Colpitts, quarterback; Mike House, left halfback, and Chamberlain, right half. On defense it may be Cham berlain and Palm, guards; Dan Loper and Miller, tackles; Blair and Ayres, ends; Eccleston, line backer, and Gary Young backs. Steward said he was "still look ing" for a player to fill one linebacker post. Eagle Point freshmen go to Rogue River this evening (or the first of six games they have scheduled.

Carlos Ortiz Defeats Acera HONOLULU (UPI) - Light weight champion Carlos Ortiz, who breezed to a seventh round technical knockout in a non-title fight with Pete Acera here Wednesday night, is considering offers from three continents for a title bout in December. Ortiz, New York Puerto Ric an, was at his sharpest in Hono lulu stadium Wednesday night as he took every round from Acera, lightweight king of the Philippines, before the referee halted the bout after 2:42 of the seventh stanza. Ebihara Gains Boxing Mantle TOKYO (UPI) - Japanese southpaw Hiroyuki Ebihara took the flyweight crown Wednesday with a first round knockout over champion Pone Kingpetch of Thailand. The heavily favored 23-year-old Ebihara decked Kingpetch with a left to the jaw and then put him down for keep a second time with another left to the button. The knockout came after 2:07 of the first round and created pandemonium in the capacity crowd of 12,000 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. "I felt my potential was great but nobody would teach me any thing," Barber recalled. He went to Baltimore general man ager Lee MaePhail and told him, "If you send me to Clear water (Fla.) and give me the the instructions I want, I'll pitch up here next year. I'm just the boy who can do it. ' Has Won 57 KacPhail did, and so did Bar ber. He has won 57 games in four major league seasons. The 24-year-old Barber be. came the major leagues' ninth 20-game winner, fourth in the American league, by trimming the Los Angeles Angels, 3-1, in the first game of a double header. Dick Hall assisted Bar ber, hurling two innings of scoreless relief. Boog Powell punched a pair of home runs, his 23rd and 24th in the nightcap to complete the sweep for the Orioles, 7-5. In other American league ac tion, the White Sox swept two from the Red Sox, 4-3 and 8-3; the Twins trounced Detroit 10-0, and the A's beat Washington, 5-4. l.lNKSCnREX!

Red Raiders Eye Weber Encounter ASHLAND Southern Oregon college Red Raiders have their first official football contest of the season on Saturday night when they tussle strong Weber State college at Ogden, Utah. The Wildcats of Weber are a big team with much the same personnel that Southern Oregon beat last year. While SOC was beating its alumni 19 to 6 last week, Weber was taking Eastern Montana State 13 to 7. Weber has expanded from a three-year school to a four-year college this year and has made a move to go big time in foot ball. The 'Cats have joined the Skyline conference and are drawing players from as far as Florida and Hawaii. Coach Al Akins feels his team needs a lot of work before they will be ready to meet the compe tition of Weber. The coach is confident concerning his young team, and feels that this 1963 club will be equal to the 1962 Or e g o n Collegiate Conference Champions, but he feels they need a couple more weeks of practice. Assistant coach John Buck has reported the Raider defense has been developing quickly but that there are a few positions which need more work. USC Looms as West Coast Power Again SEATTLE (UPI) Bob Brin ton, an official of the American Power Boat association, said Wednesday that the Miss Exide ranks fourth rather than first in national high point standings for unlimited hydro planes. Brinton, western publicity di rector for the association, said only the points scored by the new Miss Exide will count to ward the national championship. The original Exide was wreck ed in its second race of the year. WILCOX HURT EUGENE (UPI) - Dave Wil cox, starting right guard tor Oregon's football team, suffered shoulder injury in practice Wednesday but indications were that he would be able to play against Pcnn State Saturday night. X-Rays were to be taken today. (This is the fifth or eight dis patches sizing up the 1963 pros pects of the nation's college football teams.) By HAL WOOD SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-Uni-versity of Southern California's Trojans, boasting a record of 11 straight victories, go for No. 12 Saturday against Colorado the first step, the Trojans hope, on the road to another Rose Bowl appearance. And from al! Indications, coach Johnny McKay's power house should have no trouble making the return visit to the Pasadena show-place. There isn't another team in the Big Six or anyplace else in the West, for that matter that looks as powerful on paper as do the Trojans. "You just have to pick the Trojans," says head coach Jim Owens of Washington. "The rest of us will be fighting for second place and may wind up in a tie." Owens isn't given to idle talk. The other coaches concur. USC has the offense, the defense, the talent. In addition to the "Four B's" Hal Bcdsole, Damon Bame, Pete Beathard and Willie Brown, the Trojans have such return ing veterans of the Rose Bowl as end Fred Hill; tackle Gary Kirncr; and, to help Bame in the linebacking business, Larry Sagouspe and Ernie Pye. The other major West Coast teams shape up like this: UCLA: Bruins have 25 letter men returning, including Mike Haffner, the great halfback of 1961, who sat out 1962 with in juries. Good quarterbacking, headed by Carl Jones and Larry Zcno: powerful fullback in War ren Jackson. Line may be a bit weak. ' Washington: Huskies, chances for Big Six title went down the drain when fullback Junior Cot feey broke an ankle. He's out for season-and Washington may be, too. Two of the finest guards in West in Rick Redman and Rick Sortun. Good quarterbacks in Bll Siler and Bill Douglas. California: Golden Bears may have lightest team in the coun try, with one of the first string guards, Dave Urrca, only weigh ing 160 pounds; the No. 1 full back, Rudy Carvajal, a 170 pounder; and the halfbacks, Tom Blanchfield and Jim Bla keney not much heavier. How ever, quarterback Craig Mor ton stands 6-3'i and weighs 210, He's a passing wizard and can run, too. Club will have speed on offense. May be weak on defense. Stanford: Indians start out with new coach, John Ralston, Have seasoned team returning, short on speed. There are 22 re turning lettermen. Ralston shift ed two former quarterbacks, Steve Thurlow and Dick Rags dale to halfbacks; and made Clark Weaver his No. 1 quarter back. Outstanding lineman in center Marv Harris. Washington Stale: Coach Jim Sutherland may be whistling in the dark, but he claims his Cou gars will be a better team this year than last, despite the loss of end Hugh Campbell. Dave Mathicson is back to do the quarterbacking and there amy be more running this season than last.
