LA Win Brings Pennant Closer
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The long road that took Lou Johnson on a 12-year journey to 18 minor league cities has brought the 33-year-old vagabond of the hamburger circuit and the Los Angeles Dodgers to within a few strides of the National League pennant.
An obscure hitter even among the Dodger popguns, Johnson struck the most dramatic blow of the NL season to date Tuesday night when his 12th-inning homer brought a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and gave the Dodgers a one-game lead over the San Francisco Giants.
IT WAS THE Dodgers' 11th straight triumph and left the Reds only a mathematical chance to tie for the pennant even if they win all their remaining five games and Los Angeles loses its last five games. More important, it gave the Dodgers a vital one-game margin over the stumbling Giants and a clear shot at a flag that seemed out of reach only 10 days ago.
The Giants suffered their fourth loss in six games when the St. Louis Cardinals hammered out 14 hits for a 9-1 triumph at San Francisco. The Dodgers have one game left with the Reds and four with the Braves while the Giants have one with the Cardinals and four with the Reds.
JOHNSON'S BLOW broke up a tense three-hour and 59-minute duel which ended more than an hour after the Dodgers saw the Giants' defeat flashed on their scoreboard.
Larry Jaster, a 21-year-old left-hander, shutout the Giants except for Willie Mays' 51st homer of the season in the eighth inning and the Cardinals made minutemeat of five San Francisco pitchers. Bill White led the Redbird 14-hit attack with a homer, two doubles and a single and Lou Brock and Julian Javier had two hits each. Giant starter Ray Herbel suffered his ninth setback after being bombarded for six hits and four runs in 42/3 innings.
Seating Second Only to Eating As Concern of KU Student Body
"It seems that next to the student's stomach, he gets most disturbed about his football seats," T. J. Snyder, Independence first year law student and head of the Athletic Seating Board, told members of the All Student Council Tuesday.
In a report to the ASC explaining the new policy on student admission to football games, Snyder stated the purpose of the ASC Athletic Seating Board and defined how it functions
"THE STATED PURPOSE of the ASC Student Athletic Seating Board is to provide and guarantee KU students the best possible seating arrangements for all intercollegiate home games of the KU Jayhawkers."
in student athletic seating, Snyder said.
Snyder said more than 12,00 student tickets have been sold,representing more than 80 per cent of the student body. This high percentage of student spectators places KU among the leaders in the Big Eight Conference.
"This unique position of confidence has been earned from the University and the Athletic Department, not legislated, not picketed and not by hanging anyone in effigy."
The Board is the highest appeal
SNYDER ASKED KU students to understand the policies governing student seating are set by this board and the ASC, not by the Athletic Department.
"Though I'm sure that some of you feel a better system can be devised, we think the KU student is really very fortunate," he said.
He pointed out that KU's charges are amongst the lowest for student seats in the Big Eight. The average cost to the student for a conference season football ticket is $6.50, compared to KU's $1.50.
If stadium expansion for student seating is ever to become a reality, Snyder said, this fee must be substantially raised.
"WE SHALL NEVER approve or recommend an increase in the student ticket price without knowing in advance that the income received from these sales will be earmarked for better student seating," Snyder pledged on behalf of the board.
