LAS VEGAS, Nev, IAP) Johnny Miller
goes after his ninth victory of the season, a
figure unachieved in almost a quarter of a
century, this week in the $135,000 Sahara
Invitational Golf Tournament.
His overwhelming, eight shot triumph in
last week's Kaiser International gave the 27-
y ear -old Miller the most American tour titles
since Arnold Palmer won the same number
in 1960.
Only two men have ever won more, Sam
Snead with 10 in 1950 and Byron Nelson with
the record 18 in 1945.

Joe Mendez stepped from the obscurity of the bench and
became a hero last night as the Penn State booters (4-0)
tripped West Chester 3-1 at Golden Ram Field.
Mendez, a junior from State College, was inserted into
the lineup as a last-minute replacement for the injured
Chris Bahr, and filled the shoes of the two-time All-
America well. Mendez scored two of the three Penn State
goal.
-Bahr was injured in last week's . struggle against Hart
wick.
Action was slow in the first half as a chilling wind
continually swept across the field. Randy Garber brought
some warmth to the Penn State bench with an unassisted
goaLat 19:36. Other than that the first half was eventless.
Some ten minutes into.the second half Mendez scored
the first goal of his career, and it proved to be a winner.
John Marsden dealt the assist on the play. The assist was
his fifth in four games and moved him' into the team
scoring lead. Marsden has seven points (two goals, five
assists), while Bahr has six (four goals, two assists).
Mendez iced the victory cake at 25:15 with an assist
from Matt Bahr.
CORNER KICKS Penn State outshot the Rams 20-16.
Goalie Tim Dantzig had six saves, boosting his season
total to 29. He has given up six goals in four games.
The next contest for the looters is Friday at 7:00 p.m. at
Jeffrey Field against Bucknell.

ATLANTA (AP) --Henry
Aaron, grappling with what
he calls "the most major
decision of my life," was set
to participate last night in
perhaps the final game of his

Peter Nastase, owner and
illustrious major league
career when the Atlanta
Braves and Cincinnati Reds
closed their 1974 seasons.
Completing the 21st season
of his career, the 40-year-old
Atlanta slugger began having
second thoughts about calling
it quits after the Braves
returned home last week
from their final road trip.
Aaron had said in Los
Angeles last week, "Quitting
will be the hardest thing I
ever had to do."
He insisted he had no-mixed
emotions about the decision
being the right one. "None
whatsoever," he said. "I've
made the right choice."
But then last Sunday CBS
Television interrupted the
start of its professional
football regional telecasts to
show nationwide what was
believed would be Aaron's
retirement announcement.
Instead, the game's all
time home run king talked
about the sad feeling he had
going to the ball park that day
and said, "I want to say I
have not yet made up my
mind about retirement." ,
Aaron completes his 21st
season with 18 major league
records and 27 National
League standards, but the one
he'll be most remembered for
isr one many thought
wou never fall the all
time home run mark.
He might be ending
career against the same club
of whom he collected his
cherished 3,000 th major
league hit and his 714th home
run that tied him with Babe
Ruth. It came on the opening
day of the season, April 4, at
Cincinnati.
