World Series
MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL R--
The favored Los Angeles Dodgers
will send 23-game winner Don
Drysdale against Minnesota's Jim
Grant today in the opening game
of a World Series that pits Dodger
pitching against Minnesota's home
run power.
Minnesota's very first Series,
"They've got three real good
pitchers. I've got pretty good
pitching. They've got a good bull
pen. So have I. Maybe they have
more over-all speed than we do.
We certainly have got more powek.
I understand Drysdale is their No.
1 pinch hitter."
Steady Cat
Grant, 21-game winner in reg-
ular season play, has been the
solid man of the Twins staff since
he picked up a fast curve from
pitching coach Johnny Sain.
The muscular six-foot, 186-
pound right-hander has complet-
ed 14 of 39 starts for a 3.30 earned
run average. However, he has been
nicked for 34 home runs, a weak-
ness that he probably won't have
to worry about too much in his
Series. The Dodgers are low' in'
the majors with only 78 homers.
Drysdale, 23-12, has a decep-
tive three-quarter side arm motion
on right-handed batters. Through-
ly tested in Series play overthree
different years, Drysdale has been
the workhorse of the staff with
308 innings and 42 starts.
TNT vs. Big D
The Twins will send an ex-
plosive hitting line-up against Big
D, who got the starting call be-
cause Sandy Koufax, was observ-
ing Yom Kippur, the most solemn
day on the Jewish calendar.,

Los Angeles.is a 7%-5 series fa-.
vorite and also a slight choice in
the opener.
Game time is 2 p.m. EST with

about 47,000 fans in recently-
sion coverage.
The weather man predicts a
fairly comfortable day with tem-
peratures in. the mid 60s and
mostly sunny weather. There will
be a brisk breeze blowing out from
home plate, a factor favoring the
hitters in a park where home runs
are no novelty.
Buzzy Burns 'em
When Sam Mele, the Minnesota
manager, sent his Twins through
their final series tuneup, he re-
ported that some of the boys were
upset by a story in the local paper
quoting Buzzy Bavasi, Dodger gen-
eral manager, as predicting a four-
straight sweep.,
"The Dodgers may be in for a
little surprise," said Mele. "Those
stories about the, Dodgers got
some of our guys a little disturbed..
It mgy fir'e up the guys a little.
Mele platoons in left field and
center field and will use Sandy
Valdespino, a chunky little Cuban,
in left and Jimmie Hall in center
against the right-handed Drys-
dale. When Koufax pitches, Bob
Allison will go to- left and Joe
Nossek to center.
Against Drysdale, the Twins will
have left-handed power in batting
champ Tony Oliva, Don Mincher
and Hall, plus Valdespino a pesky
hitter. Oliva has been out of the
line-up recently due to a muscle
pull in his right leg but he re-
ports in fine shape and ready to
go.
Right-Handed Killer
Harmon Killebrew, who missed
six weeks due to a dislocation of
the right elbow, has worked his
way back into action and is ready
to lend his long ball power to the
right-handed attack along with
Earl Battey- and Zoiio Versalles,
the Twins' counterpart of Maury
Wills. Versalles, unlike Wills, also
can hit the home run, but his
stolen base total is only 26 to
Wills' 94.
The Dodgers have a switchhit-
Itng infield with Wes Parker on
first, rookie Jim Lefebvre on sec-
ond, Wills at short and Jim Gil-
liam at third.
Gilliam started the season as a
lead-off men. may turn out to be
the key to the Series. Versalles
says he will run if he gets on
base and everybody knows that
Wills is poised to test Battey's
arm and the moves of the Twins
pitchers.
Los Angeles never has lost a
Series since the Dodgers moved
West in 1958, winning in 1959 and
1963. This is the first for the
Twins although the old Washing-
ton Senators were in three before
they moved West in 1961.

FIRST STEP TO VICTORY
Scoring against Michigan State in the final quarter of last year's annual intra-state battle, Michi-
gan's Rick Sygar leaps over a fallen Spartan into the end zone for the first Wolverine TD. Sygar,
who played an instrumental role in the Michigan victory, took a five-yard swing pass from quarter-
back Bob Timberlake on the play. The Maize and Blue snapped a five-year domination of the
series by MSU with last year's 17-10 triumph. The two teams meet this Saturday for the 58th time
on the gridiron. Michigan holds the overall edge with 36 wins versus 16 defeats and five ties. This
year Michigan State is ranked No. 4 in the nation and possesses a 3-0 season slate.
