Taveras key to Bucs' rebound
PITTSBURGH (AP) Just as improbable as the Pitts
burgh Pirate comeback is the fact that its been sparked by
willowy, once weak-hitting shortstop Frank Taveras.
"He's the key to our ball club this year," teammate Al
Oliver said of the man who's called "The Pittsburgh Stealer."
Taveras deftly demonstrated the reason for his nickname
Wednesday night as he got his 53rd stolen base against the
Philadelphia Phillies, who dropped their third straight to the
Pirates 6-1.
The loss was Philadelphia's 11th in 12 outings and it leaves
the Phillies only 4 1 / 2 games ahead of the surging Pirates in the
National League East. On Aug. 24 that lead was 15 1 / 2 games.

Manager Danny Ozark after the latest loss. "I think we're
going to snap out of it ... We should, and I feel we will, win it."
The Phillies have 23 outings left after today's home game
against Chicago and Taveras says he thinks Pittsburgh will
overtake them.
"I feel it," said Taveias, who has stolen the most bases for
the Pirates since the late Max Carey got 58 in 1918.
"It won't be easy, but that's what I feel. The Phillies have
pit to be thinking about us right now. We'ye been playing good
ball and I think they're worried."
The fpfoot, 160-pound shortstop typifies the improvements in
the Pirates. Taveras began his third major league season this
year with a .227 batting average. Now he's hitting .260 and is
firmly established as the team's leadoff hitter.
"Frankie's always a threat to run, so the pitcher has to be
concerned with him. They can't always pay as much attention
as they should to the man at the plate," said teammate Richie
Zisk.
"His base stealing has improved, he improved his hitting
and there's nothing he can't do, except hit home runs, of
course," Oliver said of Taveras.
The 25-year-old native of the Dominican Republic h'as never
hit a major, league home run,. which is something of a team
joke. Willie Stargell has promised him $lOO if he ever hits one
out of the park.
Taveras will have 24 more games to try with the first op
portunity coming today as Pittsburgh opens a three-game
home stand against last-place Montreal.
But even though the Expos are 36 games off the pace, Pirate
third baseman Richie Hebner isn't taking them lightly.
"Two weeks ago, I was just hoping to beat the Mets out of
second-place," admitted Hebner, who had four RBIs in
Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
"Then all of a sudden it was nine games behind, eight
games, seven games and now here we are, right back in the
thing.

Susquehanna hosts State
m uggers debut on road
By GEORGE WEIGEL
Collegian Sports Writer
While thousands of spectators are swarming en masse into
Beaver Stadium tomorrow to watch the Penn Penn State-
Stanford football game, the Penn State ruby team will be
"sneaking" into action with their season opener at
Susquehanna.
"We have a lot of new people out this fall," Coach John
Lesko said before last night's practice. "There's a lot of big
guys out who have the talent, but I think we might be lacking
in experience."
Lesko is also worried about a lack of depth in backs since a
lot were lost from last year's team.
However, a good nucleus does remain with the return of
team captain Terry Ryland, fullback Chris Mathet, wing
forward Ed Montgomery, and outside center Jim Dolphin.
Mather, probably best known for his kicking ability, tried
out for placekicker with the football team last spring but gave
it up due to a conflict with the rubgy seasons.
Montgomery was last year's forward of the year and
Dolphin was voted back of the year.
Also returning are wing Bruce Hale, Fraser "Scott"

Trade with Nets not finalized
KC Kings may dump Archibald,
NEW YORK (AP) Kansas City's
Nate Archibald, the only player ever to
lead the National Basketball Association
in scoring and assists in the same
season, likely will be traded to the New
York Nets for Brian Taylor, Jim Eakins
and other considerations, it was learned
last night.
"The deal has been agreed upon but it
has not yet been finalized," a source told
the Associated Press.
Archibald, an exhilerating 6 foot 1 ,
160-pound guard, has been with the
Kings' franchise since joining the pros in
1970. But earlier this year the 28 year-old
veteran expresied dissatisfaction with

tries for legalized betting
BUFFALO, N.Y. (Al') The Western Regional Off-Track
Betting Corp. said yesterday it hopes to accept wagers on
professional football under present pari-mutual ' and
lottery laws.
John J. Gannon, general counsel of the state-sanctioned
horse-race betting organization, said he believes the present
laws are broad enough to permit the booking of bets on
National Football League games. '
But Gannon and Fred A. Herman, the general managers,
said they would try to arrange a meeting with Gov. Hugh
Carey to win his support.

Kicko Reidel also will, return after he recovers from an

Susquehanna usually has a' decent team, according to
Lesko, but they're usually better in the spring than in the fall,,
because football players can participate since they don't hav e'
spring workouts.

In addition to the regular "A" team game, "B" games and

The next step, they explained, would be to go to the state
Racing and Wagering Board for an okay to proceed.
."Should further legislative action be required," Gannon ,
' said, "we feel confident that western New York area
legislators will prove capable of securing the passage of such
legislation."
Gannon noted that Delaware now has a pro footbalflottery,
although the plan is under attack in the courts by the National
Football League.
Herman said that if the Western Regional football wagering
plan goes through, the wagering could be expanded later to
include other pro sports, such as hockey and basketball. IJ
"We are only considering the professional level," he said.
"We are not thinking of college or high schools."
He also said it would require only a few weeks to set up the
computer system and the betting parlors for pro football
wagering once legal approval is received.

option year with the Nets last season, ~
when the club won its second American I f '
Basketball Association championship in
_three years. If he did not sign a new
. contract by Sept. 15, he would have -
become a free agent.
The 6-11 Eakins, president of the old
ABA Players' Association, joined the
Nets in mid-season last year in a trade
with Virginia. He previously played with
ABA teams at Utah, Washington and
Oakland.
Should the deal be completed, the
dynamic Archibald would be teamed
with Julius Erving.
