New beat setting pace for Zidd
By JASON NUSS
Snorts Writer
Jim Zidk is not the average drummer. The Cleveland native was an all-city band member for five years and a member of the all-city orchestra three times while in high school. He played as a member of the KU band and a member of the KU band. He is the starting left defensive end on the football team.
In high school Zidd played in a drum and bugle corps and won several individual awards. But after graduation, he gave up drumming.
"I didn't have the time to play my drums with football and all," Odd said, "so I just left them at home. I like to fool around with them when I go home."
Last spring, Zidd became the backup defensive end behind all Big-Eight candidate Tink Dinkle. He has played well enough this year to compel the coaching staff to move Dinkle to right end so Zidd can start at left end.
"I didn't exactly come out of nowhere," Zidd smiled. "Last year I was red-shirted and I came to camp this year wanting to play. I didn't expect to start right away."
**KANSAS HEAD COACH** Bu Moore knew
Zidwid would develop into a good football
player.
" Jim Zidd had the potential all along to be a good defensive end," Moore said. "He was making some mistakes when he was voungeer, but he's cutting down on them."
With the improvement in Zidd's play, Moore now lists the defensive end for this year's
Jim Zidd
team. With Zidd and Dinkle, Jirn German
wins the game with the Jayhawks four
defenses wide with play in the second
"I feel we have four defensive end starters," Moore said. "I've been very pleased with our ends and one of the reasons is the progress Zidk has made. If he continues to improve, he will become a real fine defensive end."
The depth at the defensive end position allows defense end coach Hank Hettwer to substitute freely, depending on the situation on the field.
"ZIDD'S IMPROVEMENT allows us to use any of our four defensive ends," Hettwer said. "After the good spring he had, we didn't hesitate to use him this year. Early in the season we used him on goal line stands and he physically tough and he could handle it."
Zidda's first two years at KU were not as pleasant. After his freshman year, when he led the junior varsity down linemen in tackles, he was red-shirted.
"At the time I wasn't too happy," Zidd said. "It will probably work out for the best in the end. It though, gave me an extra year for school and a year to develop physically."
The coaching staff has been pleased with Zidd's play, even though his statistics are not that impressive. In KU's first five games, Zidd has recorded only 12 tackles. If he had played more than out that the defensive ends do not make that many tackles under KU's defensive scheme.
"THE DEFENSIVE end's main job is to close up with the tight end and take on blockers the linebackers and the secondary can make the tackles," didd说. "Sure, I'd like to make more tackles, but the defensive scheme seems to be working."
Hettwer said, "The defensive end, on each side, should average six to eight tackles between them. Both sides have been near that figure each game."
One thing that does stand out on the statistics sheet is Zild's ability to make the big play. Of his 12 tackles, five have been behind the line of scrimmage for losses totaling 19 yards. He also has recovered two fumbles.
LA evens Series with win
NEW YORK (UPI) - Burt Hooton, a bundle of nerves in his last start, showed the coolness of a cat burglar last night by pitching a five-hitter while the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the New York Yankees 6-1 and bombed the New York Yankees 6-1 and bombed the World Series at one game spice.
Ron Cey, Steve Yeager, Reggie Smith and Steve Garvey provided the home run power as the Dodgers flexed the muscles that led the National League in homers this season and dealt a crushing blow to Jim "Catfish" Hunter's comeback attempt.
After a travel day today, the best-of-seven series resumes in Los Angeles tomorrow night. Left-hander Tommy John will pitch Mike Torres for the Yankees. Mike Torrez will go for the Yankees.
THE DODGERS, who hit 191 homers this year, had no scouting report on Hunter but liked what they saw almost immediately. They reaped the former Cy Young Award for three homers in just two and one-touchments and made things easy for Hooton.
Cey kit a two-run homer in the first inning, Yheager added a solo shot in the second and Smith delivered a two-run blast in the third—all off Hunter—to give the Dodgers a commanding 5-1 lead. Garvey's homer off reliever Sparky Lite in the ninth inning.
"This is the way the Dodgers have played through the year," said manager Tom Hudson. "And they have won two games (Yankee Stadium) would hurt our guys. But we had four guys who put 30 or more hammers, which had never happened before in major league history. We've got guys who can hit a home run."
As excited as Lasonda was over her team's power display he was even more pleased with the outcome.
IN HIS LAST start, Hooton was a disaster. Pitching in the third game of the playoffs against the Philadelphia Phillies, he became so upset when an ampire's call went against him on a fourth ball that he walked three batters in a row and had to be taken
The Dodger right-hander had said he learned his lesson from that episode, and he proved it. He struck out eight and twice pitched out of ticklish situations—in the fourth and fifth innings—when he easily could have lost his composition.
"I had good stuff and I fought very hard," Hoont said. "I wasn't to prove anything or prove anybody right or wrong. I was just doing what I could, would do, what I didn't do in Philadelphia."
Using his knuckle curve to perfection and showing a good fastball that kept the Yankees off shore, Hooton did not one bit extra base hit and walked only one batter.
YANEEK MANAGER Billy Martin took a big risk in starting Hunter, who had not pitched since Sept. 10, because of an injury. But with his pitching staff depleted after a weary playoff against Kansas City, Martin had no choice and was hoping for it.
east five or six innings from his former meal ticket.
But from the opening innings, it was apparent that the crowd was not going to see the "Caffaf" pitch one of the classics that has been a signature of World Series performances at Oakland.
Instead of seeing "Catfish" they saw "Shellfish."
Smith started Hunter's downfall by sending a two-out double to right center in the first inning. Cey followed with a 400-foot homer into the left field bulleen.
With two out in the second inning, Yager hit an ace with 400 feet into the left wing to make it of 34.14.

Martin's gamble fails as Hunter rocked early
NEW YORK (UP1)—New York Yankees' manager Billy Martin gambled on starting Catcher Hall last night in the second game of the World Series. It did not pay off.
"I got two strikes on Cey and hung a slider. The pitch to Penguin was a hanging strike."
Hunter, who had not pitched since Sept. 10 because of a urological problem, gave up three home runs and five runs in two and one third innings, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Yankees 6-1 to even the Series at one game each.
"I felt like spring training out there," Hunter said. "I hadn't been out there in a long time."
RON CEY belt a two-out, two-twr homer in the first inning, followed by Steve Yeager's solo shot in the second and Reggie Smith's two-bun blast in the third, before Hunter was removed for Dick Tidow. Tidow, Ken Clay and Sparky Lyle held the Doggers to a single run, Steve Garvey's ninth-inning homer.
"I knew he didn't have anyone else to pitch." Hunter said of Martin's injury-plagged play. "Everytime I hung a ball, it out in the bulpen I was throwing good
ball was right where I wanted it -low and away -at way Smith went and out got it."
Martin was asked whether he regretted starting Hunter, who has been generally ineffective all year, instead of Tidrow, New York's long relief man and spot starter.
"Of course not, I need Tidrow in the bulpen," Martin said. "My two coaches and (catcher) Thurman Munson said he was throwing as hard as ever. He hung three sliders and all three were hit for home runs. He was the only pitcher I had to go to."
"I didn't know what to expect," Hunter said. "I've opened up only once in the last year, and I haven't been able to handle it. Maybe I should have been throwing batting practice 10 or 15 minutes every day instead of sitting around. I guess we won't be starting back out tomorrow and tonight—but if he needs me, I am ready."
The Yankees had a difficult time against winning pitcher Burt Hooton but did not see as many of his baffling knuckle-curves as they expected.
"He didn't throw it that much." Reggie Jackson said. "He threw his fastball in the right spots. I think we were looking for the knuckle-curve more than we should have."
"I was more impressed with his fastball than his knuckle-curve," Lou Pinella said.
--thank you.

"I've just been lucky," he said. "The coaches have called stunts in the right situations and I've just been at the right place at the right time."
Though luck may be a part of it, Hettwer
cannot be used as tools for his ability
to come up with the bill.
Though making the big plays and playing steady football takes up most of Zidd's time, he still likes to think about his drums. "I'd like to get a band together someday," Zidd said. "That would be a fun and easy way to make some money."
"He comes up with the big play because he is strong, quick and just physically tough." Hetter said. "He's done his share and more."
Chiefs bolster backfield after signing Brockington
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — The Kansas City Chiefs, in an attempt to shore up an offensive backfield that features two rookie Packers, are rocking yesterday to one-a-year contract.
The former Ohio State All-America was the NFL's rookie of the year in 1971 and became the first player in league history to top the 1,000-yard mark in each of his first three seasons. Brockington made all-pro all three of those years.
Brockington, 29, was waived by the Green Bay Packers at the end of training camp and talked with several teams before signing with the Chiefs.
But he mysteriously dropped to 883, 434 and 404 yards in his next three seasons.
"WE'RE ROLLING the dice on him," Kansas City coach Paul Wiggin said. "Three years ago we would have had to give up five first round picks to get him.
"He's a great player who hasn't played that much lately. He has not done well after one of the most dramatic entrances in NFL history."
The Chiefs lost MacArthur Lane for the season with an elbow injury two weeks ago and had to start rookies Tony Reed and Mark Bailey in the backfield last Sunday against Denver. The Chiefs gained only 89 yards on the ground; Reed went to the sidelines in the first quarter with a shoulder bruise.
