"THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SKIN A CAT!!!"
Mets Beat Reds to Win Pennant
NEW YORK (AP) - Tom Seaver, with ninth-inning help from Tug McGraw, pitched New York's Cinderella Mets to the National League championship yesterday, and Minnesota Reds 7-2 on the strength of a run-fun fifth inning in the final playoff game.
A huge Shea Stadium crowd that started chanting, "We're No.1, We're No.1!" during the big outburst, spilled onto the field despite the presence of dozens of policemen, creating a tumultuous victory scene when McGraw recorded the final out.
The game was delayed several times in the Reds' ninth because of demonstrative fans.
The Mets will face the winner of the American League championship series between the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics at Saturday in the American League city.

Woodruff Recalls 1923 Season
Woodruff is one of 23 surviving members of the 1923 KU football team whose motto, "uncrossed goal line," was literally written on the side of the ball, was made against the Jayhawks that year.
The 1923 team is observing its golden anniversary at homecoming this year. A dinner and cocktail party tomorrow night at the Holiday Inn and a luncheon Saturday in the Kansas Union are part of the plans for the reunion.
Compared to today's football teams,
Woodyraff says, '1923 team probably
wasn't as good'
"We still hold the University record for the total number of points scored against an opponent," said Bill Wade.
KU beat Washington State 83-0 in 1923. Another KU team since then scored 85 points in a single game, he says, but the opposition scored points too.
Woodruff says teams were smaller in those days.
"THERE WERE 35 on the football team in 1923," he says. "We had to play for them."
"We played Missouri that game," he says, "It had been beautiful weather all week, and spirits were really high for the last game. The morning of the game it
Woodruff was a center that year, his senior year at KU. Of all the games, he remembers the last of the season most vividly.
Three 'Hawks Called Doubtful For Saturday
Three University of Kansas starters are considered doubtful for Saturday's game against Kansas State University. Don McCormick, the head football coach, said yesterday.
Kenny Saathoff, junior tight end from Marysville, has badly bruised ribs; Doo Goode, senior defensive end from Houston, is still hobbled by a sprained ankle; and Kenny Saathoff, senior defensive tackle from Stone Mountain. Guadalupe recoveries slowly from a bruised shoulder.
Concerning K-State's preparation, Fambridge said the Wildcats probably were working on pass defense and rushing the passer. KBU's David Jaynes, senior defensive back Bonner Springs, is currently the second-ranked collegiate passer in the nation.

"On offense," Fambrough said, "they're probably working on the same things they've been successful with so far this week. They would change when they're winning?"
Woodruff says the team went ahead and played. Freshmen football players shovelled the雪 off the field, but several inches of snow ice remained. The game ended in a 3-3 tie.
Woodruff says he is looking forward to seeing members of the team this weekend at the KU-KState game. He says he has been in touch with several team members.
