B—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, October 19, 1977 Jackson leads Yankees to Series crown NEW YORK (AP) this!" Reggie Jackson,' somewhat subdued for a man who had just hammered three screaming home runs in the final game of the World Series last night, stood in the champagne-drenched clubhouse of the New York Yankees the center of attention, just as he always said he would be. "This showed what kind of . men we have, what kind of human beings we are," said Jackson between gulps of champagne from a bottle clutched in his hand. "Nothing can top this," he repeated. "Who's gonna hit three home runs in the deciding game of the World Series?" Here, he permitted himself a slight smile. "I'm not." It was an incredibly powerful end to a season which began in controversy, which ebbed and flowed all summer right up to the afternoon of the final game, when the Yankees finally gave Manager Billy Martin a vote of con fidence and said he would 'fill the remaining two years of his contract. The homers were the third, fourth and fifth of the World Series for Jackson the Yankees' leading hitter with a .450 average as the Yankees won the Series four games to two. IinTRRMURFkLS Lawrence wins a Whopper of a game What do Burger King and the of fenses of Jefferson and Lawrence have in common? That's easy to answer if you watch ed last night's intramural game be tween the two teams at the East Halls fields. It's their slogan "Have it your way." Both offenses seemed to be telling the defenses to have it their way as Lawrence won .on first downs, 4-2. Neither team was able to score •during the contest. For that matter, neither team was able to mount much of an offensive attack at all. It wasn't that the offenses were playing sloppy ball, as often happens in IMs. Rather, when the quarter backs dropped back to pass, they were always throwing into a crowd.

Since then we've had four shutouts and we've only given up five points." • FOOTBALL INDEPENDENT Accountants clef. Zayers, for.; Tioga def. Burn Outs, 6-0; Release Valve def.

In the eighth, leading off, he hit a towering blast well back into the center field bleachers, far beyond the 417-foot sign, an area of the Stadium rarely reached. After Jackson's third home run, the deafening roar of the fans forced him out of the Yankees dugout to acknowledge the cheers for an accomplishment un paralleled in Series history. No man had ever hit more than four home runs in a Series and only the immortal Ruth had accomplished three in a single game first in 1926 and again in 1928, both times in St. Louis. The end of the Yankees' tumultuous and divisive but ultimatley successful campaign also came •as a relief to Martin, who cried tears of joy just one year after he wept in embarrassment when the Yankees were swept in four games by the Cincinnati Reds. "I can't put it into words," said the fiery little manager as he sat slumped behind his office desk, all the fire seemingly extinguished. Martin's discourse was interrupted by the entrance of George Steinbrenner, the Yankees' outspoken and controversial owner. Acting calm, cool and collected and wearing a poker face, Steinbrenner extended his hand to Martin, muttered, "Nice going, see you later," and started to walk away. But only for a second. The owner and the manager fell into each other's arms and Steinbrenner said, "The World Championship is back in New York where it belongs." Rooters turn in another shutout The booters are playing soccer by - the numbers. Here they are: 2-0, 8-2, 7,3, 8 and 1. Translated, that means they beat East Stroudsburg by two goals yesterday, winning their eighth game in 10 starts. It was the seventh shutout of the season for goalie Dan Gallagher, their third straight shutout win, and they are now in eighth place in the nation. The "1" belongs to Ken McDonald, who scored his first goal of the season early in the first half from about 15 yards out. That it took this long is surprising since he finished second last season goals scored ( eight) and points (12). Chris Chambliss rounds first base after his second inning two-rim homer in last night's World Series clincher for his Yankee team. Teammate Reggie Jack son tied a Series record by sin mining three home runs in New York's 8-4 win. Three of those were game-winners, but this one wasn't. Matt Bahr slammed home the game winner on a free kick mid-way through the first period, one of 24 shots on East Stroudsburg goalie Paul Williamson. Gallagher faced eight shots on his way to tying his own record for shutouts in a season, a record he shares with two other Lions.
