8 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tuesday, October 8, 1968 Kaline keeps Tigers alive in World Series DETROIT (UPI) - Classy Al Kaline, after 16 years waiting to play in his first World Series, kept the Detroit Tigers alive Monday when he sapped a two-run, bbaes-loaded singlein the seventh inning to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 and send the Series back to St. Louis. It was an almost storybook setting when Kaline stepped to the plate with one out and the Tigers trailing 3-2 with the crowd of 53,634 at Tiger Stadium exploding in noise after reliever Joe Hoerner walked Mickey Stanley on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Kaline didn't disappoint the Tiger fans who've waited 23 years for a World Series as he poked Hoerner's second pitch to center field for a two-run single that started a three-run rally and narrowed the Cards' lead to 3-2 in this Series. The teams will now have Tuesday off and the Series will return to St. Louis for the sixth game Wednesday in Busch Stadium with Ray Washburn pitching against either Earl Wilson or Joe Sparma of the Tigers. The seventh game, if necessary, will be played Thursday. Kaline's hit gave the triumph to Mickey Lolich, who blanked the Cards over the final eight innings for his second Series victory after being bombed for three runs in the first inning. The Tigers, who looked stumbling and inept when they were humbled by the Cards before their home fans Saturday and Sunday, finally made the big plays this game and then came up with a patented late-inning rally that was their trademark in the American League this season. The Tigers won 40 games 'Hawks' healthy Football coach Pepper Rodgers reported yesterday that his squad was free of any injuries from last Saturday's game with New Mexico. Absent from the practice field was Emery Hicks who is nursing the flu. In preparation for the upcoming encounter with Nebraska, Rodgers emphasized that KU will not work on any particular part of their game. "We always practice the same for all of our games and besides, Nebraska has added more new stuff to their game than any team in the conference," Rodgers said. He singled out defensive tackle Karl Salb and defensive end Vernon Vanoy in last week's game. Salb was a latecomer to the football team as he was participating in the Olympic tryouts. "Salb is in better shape than ever. The cool weather has helped quite a bit," said Rodgers, "and Vanoy played his best game of the season last Saturday." this year after being tied or behind in the seventh. The key thing the Tigers did was keep Lou Brock from running them crazy after the first inning. Brock did get three hits but Bill Freehan threw him out attempting to steal second in the third and Willie Horton threw him out at the plate when he tried to score from second in the fifth on Julian Javier's single to left. Brock probably could have scored if he'd tried to slide but he came in standing up and failed to touch the plate when he bounced off Freehan, who took Horton's one-bounce throw from left. Brock provided a dramatic finale to this game when he came up with two out and two on in the ninth after pinch-hitter Roger Maris struck out. Brock ticked Lolich's 1-1 pitch back to the mound and Lolich snared it, ran towards first and flipped an underhand toss to Norm Cash at the base. It was the first time in this Series that the tying runs have been on base when the final out was made and it provided a frustrating finish for Brock, who's been the Series star with a .524 average on 11 for 21. His lifetime Series average of .400 on 32 for 80 is also the highest in Series history. Big Eight Standings BIG EIGHT STANDINGS Team W L T Pct Pts. Ops.

Coach Sandor "Alex" Ferenzy either is overly optimistic or knows something other track and field experts do not. His statement came as a surprise to them. The Americans were given a good chance of winning the 100 and 200-meter events and the 400-meter relay, but not the 400 and 800-meter races.
