Rip tries a new Engl New NEW YORK (AP) “I think,” observed Yogi Berra, ‘‘l’ve got the best relief pitcher in baseball.” The manager of the New York Mets was talking about Tug McGraw, who saved 25 j games during the regular season and choked off a couple of Oakland threats last night, preserving the Mets’ 2-0 victory in the pivotal fifth game of the 1973 World Series. "I think he proved it tonight,” Berra added. McGraw weaved his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning and left two more A’s runners stranded in the eighth. “My control was a little off,” McGraw said. “But I kicked myself in the backside and I was all right from then on.” McGraw may have been all right, but the A’s were not. They managed only three hits.all night and may have wished they hadn’t passed up batting practice before the game. That gave them eight hits and one run in the last two games against the Mets. The limited Oakland offense reminded Syracuse's What “All I can say is our kids are trying and they’re doing the best they can,” Ben Sehwartzwalder mused. “Maybe the coaching isn’t good enough. “But whining and crying doesn’t do any good. The Penn State game will be a great challenge to us. Hopefully we can perk up a little and have a good showing. We’d better.” Indeed. Syracuse, which has come up with its worst start in Schwartzwalder’s 25-year reign as coach could well be in for the most humiliating afternoon of a very humiliating season. It seems somewhat optimistic for Schwartz walder to refer to the game only as a “great challenge.” , Oddsmakers, in fact, have installed Penn State (5-0) as anything from & four to a five-and-a-half touchdown favorite for the 1:30 p.m. game at Syracuse’s Archbold Stadium. The faithful at Syracuse undoubtedly have dwindled since the national championship years of 1959. Even Larry Kimball, sports information director for the Grange, has bluntly said that Syracuse foot ball is all but dead, John Cappelletti has time for tape and almost as many yards as Syracuse The Nittany Lions play a football team tomorrow at Syracuse that has not won this year, but they’re also picking! on a guy that isn’t afraid to play a little left handed j golf. Penn! State takes on Ben Schwartzwalder’s Orange men at “cold” Archbold stadium tomorrow and former Lion coach Rip Engle likes Joe Paterno’s chances. Engle is this week’s Collegian “Big Ten” seer and, unlike his former prognosticators, he used a little inside information and picked two mild upsets. “Neither Texas nor Arkansas are up to their usual level, but I received a letter from (Arkansas coach) Frank Broyles recently and he said he’s using all freshmen and sophomores,” Engle said. “I’m going to take York 'tugs' A's noose again sports The Daily Collegian Berra of something else. “I think,” he added, “we’ve got the best pitching staff in baseball. They got us here.” “Here” is one victory away from baseball’s world championship. “We haven’t won it yet,” said Berra. “We still have to get that one more.” It shouldn’t be that tough for the Mets. They have two chances to get that one more and a split of the last two games would accomplish their aim. A split is dying became particularly now that its record is 0-5. “When you- talk about Syracuse football,” Kimball said at one of those weekly football luncheons not long ago, “you’re talking about a legend that no longer exists.” Certainly the days of Syracuse running backs such as Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Jim Nance, Floyd Little and Larry Csonka are gone. Instead, those names of Jim Donoghue and Bob Mitch, Syracuse’s two leading rushers. Both are quarterbacks, ironically enough, though Donoghue also doubles as a running back. Syracuse has rushed for only 609 yards total this season a figure which becomes even more unimpressive 'when compared with the 604 Penn State tailback John Cappelletti alone has ground out. Additionally, the Orange have scored only 43 points in five outings this season, never tallying more than 14. Penn State Arkansas in an upset.” Engle also decided on George Welsh’s Navy over the favored Air Force Falcons. As a former Lion coach, it’s no surprise he took Penn State, although that choice won’t exactly be called an upset. The presence of Schwartwalder, however, gave cause for slight pause. “Ben’s a fine coach, a real tough guy,” Engle said. “He plays it tough and he’s a competitive person. He’ll go out and play golf left-handed with you for instance.”. During his 24 years as coach of the Orange, Sehwartzwalder has produced one national champion, his ‘59 squad that beat Penn State .20-18 at Beaver Stadium. “I guess we were fortunate to be near him that year, but more on football in “PS” - we were al quarter,” E) turned out, v team to coi touchdowns That was the me give up RayMcAII (••tweak: 8-1 Mark Slm< last week: B*.

Nonetheless, Joe Pateijno, perhaps with memories of tougher Syracuse teams and a 24-7 loss three years ago, isn’t taking anything for granted. “You know that Syracuse is going to do everything it can to give|Ben a win in his last game against Penn State,” the Lion coach said. “We know they’ll be ready for us. They always are.” Unfortunately for Schwartzwalder, who needs to win all six remaining games to avoid his third losing season in 25 at Syracuse, the drange look incapable of doing enough to give Ben a win. Whining and crying may not do any good. But it may be the only thing Syracuse can do. I Photo by Randy J. Woodbury e: Collegian prognosticator ive in the last lgle said.

Gene Tenace opened the Oakland seventh with a-walk and, after Jesus Alou popped out, Ray Fosse bounced a double past Mets’ third baseman Wayne Garrett. That finished Koosman. McGraw, who had pitched 10 innings in the first three games of the Series, rode in from the bullpen again. His first problem was pinch-hitter Deron Johnson, who ran the count to 3-2 and then walked, loading the bases. Allan Lewis ran for Johnson and Angel Mangual batted for reliever Darold Knowles. « McGraw jammed him and the pinch hitter popped to shortstop for the inning’s second out. Now it was Bert Campaneris’ turn and McGraw slipped a third-strike screwball past him to escape the jam. McGraw got himself into another hole in the eighth inning, walking Reggie Jackson and Tenace with two out. The A’s inserted John “Blue Moon” Odom to run for Tenace but he had nowhere to go because McGraw got Alou to line his second pitch right at Garrett for the inning’s final out. Those were Oakland’s only, real chances at the Mets on this cold night that was more fitted for football than baseball. . Koosman, limited the A’s to only three hits during the 6 1-3 innings he pitched and was much more impressive than he had been in his first start of the Series. He threw 106 pitches last night. The Mets got him a quick run in the second inning when Cleon Jones, fighting the flu that forced him to leave the fourth game of the Series, opened with a double that reached the left field wall on one bounce against Oakland starter Vida Blue. John Milner followed with a bouncing single through the right side of the Oakland infield and Jones scampered home with the game’s first run. New York, which has been leaving runners on base throughput the Series, loaded the bases against Blue in the fourth before Bud Harrelson popped up, ending the inning. The Mets left another runner at third in the fifth as Koosman continued to protect that slim one-run lead. In the sixth, Jones opened with a drive •that-sent Joe Rudi banging into the left field wall for a leaping back-handed catch. The play saved the A’s a run because Jerry Grote singled with two out in the inning and circled the bases on a booming triple by Don Hahn. —Ray McAllister Oakland 000 000 000-0 3 1 New York 010 001 OOx—2 7 1 Blue, Knowles (6), Fingers (7) and Fosse; Koosman.
