Dodgers Smell Flag,
But Remember 1962
LOS ANGELES (UPD-The Los
Angeles Dodgers have the 1963
pennant wrapped up in a gift
packape today but they can't
open it yet.
The Dodgers don't have to win
any of their remaining six games
to win the flag just as long as
the second-place St. Louis Cardi
nals lose one of tlieir five re
maining james. The Cardinals
trail by 5'j flames.
The festive champagne was
ready for popping Sunday in the
Dodger dressing room but it was
put back on ice at least until
Tuesday.
The eighth-place Pittsburgh Pi
rates, playing like pennant con
tenders, dropped the league lead
ers by a 4-0 score.
Reds Drop Cardinals
Even though they lost, the
Dodgers were assured of a tic
since the Cardinals lost, 5-2, to
Cincinnati.
Dodger players had no thought
ot celebrating, after they were
shut out by the Pirates when
Bob Veale and his relief man
Roy Face stifled them on three
hits by Maury Wills, Tommy Da
vis and Jim Gilliam.
"Ties are no good," said Don
Drysdale who will pilch against
the New York Mcts Tuesday night
in the opener of a three-game se
ries. "You never celebrate a tie."
If the pennant race were to be
thrown into a playoff, the Dodg
ers would have to lose all their
remaining six games three
against the Mets and three
against the Philadelphia Phillies
w hile the Cardinals would have
to win all of their five jet to
play.

It was t h e Wildcats' 22nd

Linfield's touchdown came in

Dodgers would clinch the pen
nantwithout lifting a bat or
glove.
By the time the Dodgers start
their game Tuesday evening with
the Mcts, the race could be all
over something of an anticli
max. Johnny Podres started for the
Dodgers and had a rough first in
ning when he gave up one run
on three singles. He settled down
and struck out Bill Virdon with
the bases loaded to end the in
ning. The Pirates got to Podres for
another run in the sixth on a pair
of singles by Don Clendenon and
the Dodger southpaw was lifted
for a pinch-hitter in the seventh.
Podres is now 14-11.
Penn State
Tips Ducks
By Defense
PORTLAND (UPl Penn State
had a new offense, but coach Rip
Engle wanted to talk about de
fense after his Nittany Lions
shocked Oregon 17-7 in a season-
opening football game Saturday
r.ight.
"That was as good a defensive
effort as we've come up with in a
long, long time," Engle noted.
"1 was afraid we d be much too
slow, but I guess we're faster than
we figured. I was scared to death
of that Oregon speed."
The much-heralded speed of the
Oregon backfield that already had
brought it the "Firehouse Four"
tag burned the Nittany Lions only
once. That was in the third quar
ter when halfback Larry Hill got
away for 54 yards to sot up the
Ducks' only touchdown.
Otherwise, the Penn State de
fense led by guard Bernie Sabol
and tackle Harrison Rosdahl held
All-American halfback Mel Ren-
Ifrn to 44 yards in 11 carries and
! Hill to 37 in 10 tries.
I The Lions marched 80 yards in
I the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead
on quarterback Pete Liske's eight
lyard pass to halfback Junior Pow
ell.
Oregon, rated a two-point favor
ite at game time, tied it at 7-7
in the third period when Renfro
scored on a one-yard dive after
HilP run
Ron Coates put Penn State
goal on the first play of the final
period and Liske passed 40 yards
to Don Caum for the (inal score
midway in the quarter after an
Oregon drive died on the Penn
State 30.
Engle took the wraps off what
he called his "Swing-T" offense,
using an end split 12 to 15 yards
wide on every play and frequently
an unbalanced line.
Backs Gary Klingensmith and
Tom L'rbanick ran up Oregon's
middle against an inexperienced
line all night for 85 and 46 yards,
respectively, in 12 carries each.
Liske completed II of 12 passes
for 113 yards, including one to
himself for a five-yard loss. It had
been batted in the air by a Duck
d fender.
"He is just a good passer," Ore
gon coach Len Casanova offered
later.
"Penn State used stuff we
hadn't expected." Casanova ad
mitted. He praised the lineback
ing of Oliver McKinney.

ford next Saturday.

There will be no premature
celebrations in Los Angeles this
year. The Dodgers have learned
their lesson.
Anybody else might be digging
the corkscrew into the cham
pagne. The Dodgers are keeping
their bottles on ice.
Los Angeles clinched at least
tie for the National League
pennant Sunday when the St.
Louis Cardinals lost to the Cincin
nati Reds, 5-2. The Dodgers could
have clinched the flag by beat
ing the Pittsburgh Pirates, but
instead dropped a 4-0 decision.
The outlook is as bright as a
World Series share for the Dodg

their final six games to qualify
for what probably will be the
richest Series ever against the

No Nightmares As
LA Nears Pennant
By OSCAR FRALEY
L'PI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - The Los
Angeles Dodgers are one week
ahead of last season today and
despite chills and fever there is
a suspicion in this corner that
there will be no walk down night
mare alley this time around.
A year ago, one week hence,
they were in a tie for the Na
tional League pennant and blew
it in the playoff. At present they
have a week to win one, or see
the Cardinals drop just one. and
it's all over except the World
Series shouting.
Now anybody will admit that
they can't beat the Yanks in the
Series, anyhow. That is, anybody
but old Fearless.
Frankly, they are probably go
ing to have to use mirrors, or
home umpires, or get Sandy Kou
fax to pitch four straight games.
or something. Which is why Ihe
fellers in the back room make
the Yanks 6-5 to win the opener
and 8-5 to cop the series.
Anyhow, as an old National
League rooter,
I've got it figured
out thusly.
It will be Sandy of the Koufax
clan against Whitey of the Fords
the first contest at Yankee
Stadium while, in the second em
broglio the Dodgers will call on an
old Yankee beater named Johnny
Podres against young Al Down

he can't win without runs and
somewhere along the way it ap

The odds at this point will drop
to 7-5 favoring the Yanks and
Podres will come on to out-expe-

The odds now w ill go down to

Drysdale has to be clubbed by a

But then Koufax will come
dashing to the fore again for Wal
ter O'Millionaire s legions and the
Dodgers will be leading, three
games to one. At this point tlie
oddsmakers might condescend to
make the Yankees no worse than

Podres to appear on the scene

realize that the football season is
almost half over.
