The sweep stretched New York's winning streak to nine games. Koosman pitched a brilliant three-hitter in the first game and drove in the only run with a fifth inning single-only his fourth hit and first run batted in of the sea- son. In the nightcap, Cardwell lim- ited the Pirates to four hits in eight innings and drove in Bud Harrelson with a second inning! single for the only run of that game. Tug McGraw pitched the ninth inning of the nightcap, completingj the Mets' third consecutive shut- out and stretching the Newv York pitching staff's scoreless string to 34 innings. In both games, the Mets had to escape tight ninth inning si- tuations. Matty Alou reached first base leading off the ninth of the opener but Koosman pitched his way out. retiring Roberto Clemente, Pitts- burgh's leading hitter for the final out. Alou beat out a bunt opening the ninth of the nightcap against McGraw but again the Pirates could not advance him. McGraw struck out Gene Alley, got Willie Stargell on a 450-foot fly to center and retired Al Oliver on a bouncer. Koosman, whose four previous hits this season had all come against San Diego pitcher Clay Kirby, stroked a single to right following hits by Bobby Pfeil and Duffy Dyer in the fifth of the opener. Then the left-hander made the run stand up, beating Bob Moose in a brilliant pitching duel. In the nightcap, Harrelson dou- bled with two out in the second inning and rode home on Card- well's single. That was enough to beat Dock Ellis. The sweep reduced the Mets' magic number for clinching the National League's East Division pennant to 16.

The Lions shocked the Saints by taking a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. Munson, looking perhaps the sharpest so far this year, fired touchdown passes of 49 and 71 yards to Bill Mainchak and Earl McCullouch. The first score came with only three minutes gone and followed a fumble recovery by Detroit line- backer Wayne Walker. Then with New Orleans still dazed, L i o n s safety Tommy Vaughn picked off a Bill Kilmer pass and raced un- touched for 25 yards and a touch- down. Detroit's defense played a strong game and stopped both New Or- leans passing and running game. But Kilmer put the Saints mo- mentarily back in the game with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Al Dodd to make the score 21-7. But five minutes later, the Lions put things out of reach again when rookie Larry Watkins bucked pleted plays.

'The Jatunty Juniors Try an Encore," was somewhat of a let- down and mediocre for several reasons. It was a little depressing be- cause the final season record was 6-4 after high hopes had been ex- pressed.

Evenr the miracle producing offenset with its average of 25 points per game could not quite overcome1 the defensive unit's allowance ofa 28 points per game. Defensive coordinator. Ernie Plank, feels this problem is on its way to solution. "Our defense is based on tackle play and we fi- nally have boys with enough size' to handle the position well. The youtnger players have come along well in practice and they should benefit from the experience of a few games. Overall this unit seems to be the best defense we've had here at Indiana." Last season the Hoosiers had a trouble spot in the amount of turnovers, especially on punt re- turns. According to Plank, "We've been working on fumbles and there haven't been too many ini practice. One of our solutions is to put Larry Highbaugh (Big Ten dash champion) in on returns and utilize his speed and sure hands." Indiana operates from a basic I-formation with a flanker and split end on opposite sides. Some- times both are split to the same side but there are not many vari- ations used. Indiana experiences a depth problem only at center where senior Steve Applegate offers-sea- soning but he is backed up by two untested sophomores. Other posi- tions where depth could become a problem are at the defensive tackles and at quarterback.

Santo had doubled and scored the tying run in the seventh. Banks followed Santo's hit with a bloop single to right off loser Chuck Taylor, 7-3. The Cardinals had taken a 1-0 lead in the first on Lou Brock's scratch single and stolen base. Brock took third on an infield out and scored on Vada Pinson's sacrifice fly. Hands then settled down to work out of some jams and gave up six hits the rest of the way. aga inEf Vieving all facets of the up- coming Indiana production it looks like the Hoosiers have a hit on their hands again. The lette'- men have recaptured the n- thusiasm of their exciting soph- omorte season. The team is pre- pared to adopt "Everything's Com- ing Up Roses" as its theme song. This attitude may be a bit pre- mature but with a schedule that offers only Purdue as a real ob- stacle to such hopes, it isn't total- ly unfounded. Considering the schedule, the talents of Gonso, Isenbaiger. Butcher',and other 'e- tut'nees, the Hoosiers seem a good bet to take that trip to Pasedena next New Year's. The sweet ending to this saga of miraculous endings, last-minute heroics, and "Punt, John, Punt" depends on a defense gaining ex- perience and a center being avail- able to hike the ball to Gonso.

The Mustangs' Chuck Hixson is expected to provide most of the excitement. The talented SMU junior led the nation in passing last year demonstrated an ability to bring his team from far behind to exciting fourth quarter triumphs. The Mustangs don't appear to have much of a running attack, so the Falcon defenders will be able to concentrate most of their efforts on stopping Hixson's slings. The Falcons vill try to counter the Mustang bombardment with a stout deletse and a strong running game led by quarterback Gary Baxter,.

He was replaced by Alex Webster, offensive b a c k f I e I d coach. Sherman had served as head coach for the eight seasons dur- ing the time the Giants won three NFL Eastern Division titles. The Giants compiled a 7-7 re- cord in 1968 and were winless in five pre-season games this year. Webster, a former Giant run- ning star for 10 seasons, had served as the club's offensive backfield coach the past two years. "Since 1961," said Wellington Mara, the Giants' president, "all decisions affecting the operation of our football team have been made by Al Sherman and myself. Because I find recent results un- acceptable, I have taken the fol- lowing steps: "I have asked Al Sherman to step aside as head coach and I have signed Alex Webster to a two-year contract as head coach. "Although I will continue to be the chief executive officer of the Giants and, as such, will continue to have the ultimate responsibil- ity for all decisions, I will appoint an experienced football man to as- sist our new head coach in the evaluation, selection and pro- curement of players. Asked whether "Goodby Allie" chants by Giant fans in recent seasons had forced management's hand, Mara replied: "Our sole desire is to please the fans. An if we are not pleas- ing them, we have to take a good look at ourselves. Mara said that Sherman, who still has five years remaining on a 10-year contract, will remain with the organization. He did not say in what capacity. R A' A! ANN IES 22 two years and there is little which seems capable of stopping him from performing well enough to earn this and many other awards. Jade Butcher's 20 touchdown catches are a career mark and his total of 713 yards in receptions last year set a new mark. John Isenbarger, although miss- ing the equivalent of four games, still managed to rush for 669 yards which was just 87 short of' a season mark. He ranks fourth on the all-tithe rushing list and' his 39.7 yard average on punts makes him the career leader in that department. The third of{ his triple threats is the ability to pass on the option. Gonso is one of the few quarterbacks who also carries statistics for receiving.
