VaonEt ief erase Blows Dm 6-2 Loss; ieries CINCINNATI. Ohio (AP) The World Series flares anew Satur day after a change of scenery and certainly a change of prospects for the lightly-regarded Cincinnati Reds in their post-season cham pionship duel with the New York Yankees, The Reds, seemingly well out classed in losing Wednesday's opener, came back to life in New York Thursday with a 6-2 decision that proved the Yankees mighty human after all. But while the lankees were playing Alphonse and Gaston with themselves as the two-game New York phase of the series conclud cd, the Reds uncorked the same type of performance that con founded the experts while they ran off with the National League pennant. Strapping Joey Jay wasthe pitcher against the Yanks his reg ular season 21-9 record stamped him to be. But additionally, Cin . cinnati's cast of unknowns pro duced a couple of sideshow whiz zes in Venezuelan second baseman Elio Chacon and reserve catcher John Edwards. When the series third game is played at Crosley Field Saturday U p.m. Eastern Standard Time), the Yankees will find themselves hammered down to 2 to 1 favorites from a 4',i-l choice prior to the loose frolic Thursday before 63,083 in Yankee Stadium. As for the third game in which Cincinnati's knuckleballer, Bob Purkey (16-12) faces New York's Bill Stafford (14-9) the Yankees are a 7-5 pick to triumph in the cozy confines of Crosley Park. The forecast for Saturday is fair and pleasant. In the three games that now must be played in Cincinnati in the best-of-7 series, the Yankees are expected to be bolstered by return of ailing Mickey Mantle, who sat out very gingerly the two New York games because of an infected hip. i Certainly Mantle's long-ball hit ting is needed to offset a terrific swoon thus far by Roger Maris, the man who set an all-time sea son home run record with 61. Maris, still hitless in seven se ries official at-bals, has struck out three' times, twice being whiffed Thursday by the 6-4, 225-pound Jay. Roger hasn't hit a ball out of the infield in the series. Although he allowed only four hits, Jay kept walking himself into and pitching himself out of trouble, no small thanks to the 5-9, 163-pound Chacon from Carac as. Venezuela. Chacon, substituting for regular Don Blasingame, who had a jammed finger, started two crack ling double plays, a department in which Cincinnati supposedly is hurting. But Chacon's big feat was an explosive bit of base-running on Coast Teams In Toughies; Face Top-Rate AP Squads By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS West Coast football teams could hardly have come up with a tougher slate of intersectional games than face them Saturday. The schedule, made up several years ago. finds the Westerners facing no fewer than four of the eight top-rated clubs in The Asso ciated Press poll. Southern California's Trojans draw No. 1-ranked Iowa, which whipped California 28-7, in their opener. Washington State plays No. 4 rated Texas at Austin, Stan ford's astounding Indians tackle sixth-ranked Michigan State at East Lansing, and UCLA faces eighth-ranked Ohio State at Co lumbus.

TU 4873 Resumes Dei Cincy Saturday a short passed ball for an un earned but decisive tally in the fifth off Yankee loser Ralph Terry which put the Reds ahead 3-2. Although the Yankees commit ted three other errors, the big miscue was when Terry pitched a slider which eluded catcher El ston Howard in the fifth with Vada Pinson at bat and Chacon on thud and Eddie Kasko on first. The ball rolled only about 10 feet from the plate and was quick ly retrieved by Howard. Chacon set sail from the plate "on his own" but neither Howard nor Ter ry was aware the flying Chacon was in full flight until it was too late. Terry hung back instead of covering the plate, and Howard first looked to see if Kasko was heading for second before making a futile dive at Chacon racing home. As events turned out, that was the ball game, but the 6-4, 220- pound Edwards, catching in place of ailing Darrell Johnson, still was to taste some World Series glory. A .182 hitter during the season. Edwards was scorned in the sixth inning following Wally Post's double by both Yankee Manager Ralph Houk and Terry. Houk or dered right-handed hitting Gene Frecse walked intentionally in or der to get at left-handed batting Edwards. Right-hander Terry, after spin ning across two strikes for an 0-2 count, let a fat pitch fly and Ed wards singled into right field. scoring Post for a 4-2 Cincinnati lead. Again, in a weird eighth inning; Freese was walked intentionally and Edwards uncorked a bloop double which scored the sixth and final Red run. The Redleg eighth, in which lefty Luis Arroyo proved anything except the ace reliever he is sup posed to be, found veteran Yogi Berra flitting from a hero to goat role. Berra, who slammed a two-run homer in the fourth to gain New York a 2-2 tie, let Post's drive whistle between his legs for a three-base error, setting up the second Red run of the inning. Ber ra seemed to have the ball caught for the third out, but it sank rap idly and streaked past him to the wall But Berra's two hits hoisted his record series total to 70 in 70 series games and his other con tinuing marks for the post-season classic now include 38 RBI's, 40 runs scored and 116 total bases. Although Houk said he was un certain over his Sunday pitcher. it most likely will be Whitey Ford, who pitched a two-hit 2-0 opening victory Wednesday and can break Babe Ruth's pitching record of 29 2-3 scoreless innings. Ford has pitched 27 runless innings three successive shutouts, including two against Pittsburgh last year. ta at Minneapolis, and Washing ton hosts Pittsburgh.

Stanford's Indians give up heft, speed and experience to the Spar tans of Michigan State but nobody takes them lightly after victories over Tulane and Oregon State. Rod Sears returns to starting quarterback and the Indians should give Michigan State's pass defenders a busy afternoon.

Bob Purkey, who will pitch for Cincinnati against the Yankees on Saturday in the third World Se ries game, (the opener at Cincin-i nati), was telling of his reac tions after waU-hmft the clubs split the first two games at Yan kee Stadium. The Reds, behind right-hander Joey Jay, defeated the Yankees 6-2 Thursday after Whitey Ford had shut them out 2-0 in a south paw duel with Jim O'Toole in the opener. "We gamed confidence by win-i nine, said the 32-year-old right hander. "It showed us they were not unbeatable. It also must have1 changed the Yankees' minds about That we're not the ragamul fins we're supposed to be.
