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.

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.

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.
