Phillies win opener with two runs in ninth
LOS ANGELES (UPT)—The Philadelphia Phillies have been saying all along that they are a far better and more experienced team than the one that was wiped out in three straight games by the Cincinnati Reds in last year's National League playoffs.
They proved it last night when they survived one of the most dramatic home runs in playoff history, a grand slam by Los Angeles 'Ron Cey' in the seventh inning, and defeated the Dodgers 7-5 to win the opening game of their best-of-five series.

A strong offensive performance by sophomore June Kolebler sparked the KU volleyball team to a victory over Wichita. The team won three of four matches.

"I was very pleased with our defensive ball all around the floor, I said. "But you had to go a long way to go."
KU's junior varsity was not so successful and dropped both games to Wichita State, 5-2.

The Phillies of a year ago might have crumbled after Cey led the Dodgers back from a 5-1 deficit to tie the score on the first grand slam homer in NL playoff history, but instead they turned aggressive and pushed their ninth-ninth runs to break the deadlock.
IT WAS NOT with their usual longball that they pulled this one out, but with three singles and a balk. The winning rally began innocently enough when Bake McBride grounded a one-out single to right off of Elias Sosa, the four Dodge pitcher Larry Bowa lined a single in the second half to rival for perennial Al-Star honors who had 101 regular-season RBI produced the go-ahead run with a single shortstop.
A moment later, Bowa treated home with an insurance run when Sosa committed a

"This shows you what kind of a club we have," the Philies' Greg Luzinak, a hero himself with a two-run, first-inning homer, and two saves. Die. We've come from behind all year."
WITH THE VICTORY the Phillies, who won 101 games during the regular season but were rated underdogs for this series, need only two more triumphs to beat their first game since ancient 1960.
The two teams had stressed the importance of winning the opening and Luzniak said if the Phillies won again tonight, they would be well injury the Dodgers at Forest Lawn.
Gymnastics schedules set
Faced with one of his largest and youngest squads in recent years, Bost Lockwood, men's gymnastics coach, has been preparing his team for the Big Eight Invitational meet at the University of Kansas next month.
Despite the team's youth and inexperience, Lockwood said, this year's team is perhaps one of the best he has coached in his 13-year-turn at KU.
The Jayhawks face four teams that were ranked in the top 20 at the end of last season, including the University of Oklahoma, the defending NCAA champion. The other teams are Colorado, Iowa State and Nebraska.
Kansas was the only Big Eight school that did not finish in the top 20 last year. Only five Big Eight Conference schools participate in gymnastics.
Hampered by injuries, the flu and a disappointing recruiting year, the women's gymnastics team, coached by Ken Snow, has been working out for about four weeks.
Snow said the women's schedule was very competitive and included a visit to
Lawrence by a former Olympic gymnast,
and of Southwest Missouri State
University.
The Jayhawks also travel to Des Moines to meet Grand View College. Last year Grand View finished the season in the top 10 of the AIAW.
The following is a complete schedule of men's and women's gymnastics teams:
MEN's: November 4, 6. Big Eagle Invitational at Lawrence
Nov. 35-51. Mid-South Invitee. Big Eagle Invitational at Waco,
Wisconsin and State Lake of Wisconsin at Warrenburg, Mo.; Dec 9-10. Rocky Mountain Open at

Royals, Yanks announce line-ups
It's familiar one for KC

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Fried Patek, whose 53 stolen bases topped the American League and set a team record, will bat lead-off and spearhead a crucial part of Kansas City's strategy when the Royals open the American League playoff series today against the New York Yankees.
"I'M REALLY excited about it, to tell you the truth," Patek said. "I led off for five straight years, but the last two years I think I've led off once. We're going to whatever we have in mind." Speak is a skill we have. And we are going to stay with what us here."
"We're gonna run, run, run," said one Royal as the Western Division champions concluded a one-hour workout and packed for the flight to New York, the scene of the first two games in the best-of-five series.
"Freddie batted eight or ninth all year. Now he's leading off. That should tell you something. He's our best baserunner," Manager Walter Herzog said. But other team members, especially Patek, were more expansive.
Six of the nine players Herzog named in today's lineup run up double-digit thefts this year. Amos Otis and Frank

White each stole 23, Hal McRac 18, Al Cowens 16 and George Brett 14.
Against the Yankees and catcher Thurman Munson, the Royals attempted 14 thefts and were caught only once.
"MUNSON HAS good days and he has bad days," said Patek, who was caught stealing only 13 times for an .800 percentage. "If he's having a good day, we in trouble. If he's having a bad we'll run him out of town."
"We're going to cause him to have a bad day," another player said. "Munson can get rattled. When he's on, he's one of best. But we think he can throw him off."
Herzog remained undecided on who his pitcher will be for tomorrow night's second game. With left-hander Paul Splitteroff open the series, Herzog is likely to miss a playoff left-fielder, Aadley Hassler and Larry Gura, a former Yankee, for the second game.
"I won't know until after tonight," Herzog said.

White benched by NY
NEW YORK (AP)—CHF Johnson and Lou Piniella were in and Roy White was out of manager Billy Martin's line-up as the New York Yankees prepared for today's American League playoff against the Kansas City Royals.
Martin sent the Yankees through a light one-hour workout yesterday and then announced that Pinnella would start in left field and Johnson would be the designated hitter against left-hander Paul Solititz in the opener.
That means White, the regular left fielder most of the year, will not be in the line-up.
"I WON A few games early, but I guess everything is compacted at the end of the season," White said, upset at being benched.
Johnson, a June 15 pick-up from Houston, batted 286 and ripped 12 home runs in his half-season with the Yankees. He was hit on the right wrist by a pitch in the final game of the regular season Sunday and said he still felt some pain.
PINIELLA, WHO batted 330, mostly as a designated hitter, will swing fifth behind clean-up man Reggie Jackson, the right fielder.
right here. Center fielder Mickey Rivers leads off with third baseman Graig Nettles batting
second and catcher Thurman Munson hitting No. 3. After Jackson and Pinilla, Chris Chamblais, the hero of last year's playoff victory over Kansas City, bats sixth, followed by his fellow assistant coach combination of Willead Rudock and Bucky Dent.
Martin will pitch left-hander Don Guellett in the opening game. Guellett, a $2 million free agent gift last winter, pitched for Cincinnati in last year's National League playoffs and against the Yankees in the World Series.
"I'm looking forward to the game," Gullett said. His 14-record included two victories over Kansas City and the best winning percentage in the American League.
"There's a lot of excitement involved. Everybody knows how much it means," he added.
Gullett thought his previous playoff and World Series experience might help him.
"But you can't just throw your glove on the mound and expect to beat them," he said. "You've got to work. They're a good, fundamentally sound club with speed and power. You can't take them lightly."
Hockey team downs Emporia
The KU field hockey team opened its conference season yesterday with two wins over Emporia State University. The Jayhawks won both games by scores of 2-0.
KU Coach Diane Beebe said she was pleased with the Jayhawks' performance.
"If I ever wanted my team to play like anything, it would be like they played the first half of the first game," she said. "Our stick handling was great. Our defense was great. We just had a tremendous team effort."
Nancy Lambros, St. Louis senior, scored both of KU's goals in the first half.
In the second game, the Jayhawks scored one goal, two goals and held off several opponents on their goal.
"Her second goal was just picture perfect," Beebe said. "She got the goallie one-on-one, gave her a fake and went right around her for the score."
"Janet Ballard played an exceptional goaie position in both games," Beeble said. "She kept her position well and stopped some good shots."
KU's next action will come this weekend, team hosts the Jayhawk Invitational.
