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.

to be near him that year, but

Friday, October 19, 1973—7
r5OO baseball and , that’s the
neighborhood the Mets have lived in
hiost of this season.
The victory gave the Mets a 3-2 edge in
the best-of-seven Series, which moves
back to Oakland for Game 5 tomorrow at
4 p.m., EDT A seventh game, if needed,
would be played Sunday.
Left-hander Jerry Koosman, pitching

Syracuse has giyen.up 137 points this,*-
year, Penn State only 26. Forty-one of-.
Syracuse’s points were coughed up in a
tremendous upset to Bowling Green in
the season opener, 38 in a blanking at the
hands of Maryland two weeks ago.
The Orange, last week jlost 2344 ! to
Navy,’the only common opponent. Penn
State decked the Midshipmen 39-0.
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

leading 2-0 when he ran into trouble.
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.
