All these are short term theories related to short term situations, but if a long term theory is really required, perhaps it is encompass- ed in the phenomenon known as Ivy League washout. This affliction is brought about by the knowledge that a school's reputation hinges on academics rather than athletics, a statement usually hastened by a few judici- ously placed losing seasons, say about 15 in a row.

Soon after center fielder Paul Blair caught a fly ball for the last out, the celebrating began. It last- ed well into yesterday morning.

The Wipers are undefeated and unscored upon in four games so far this season due in part, to their big "Front Three" on de- fense-Mike Holmes, Tex Sharpiro and John "Bubba" Matisi. Against Michigan House, Rose scooted around left end six yaids for the first touchdown and threw a 15 yard scoring pass to fleet end Larry Guidi.

The World Series opened with Baltimore an 8-5 underdog and closed with the Dodgers humil- iated. The National Leaguers scored only two runs on 17 hits- both all-time Series lows-and were shut out for a record 3. con- secutive innings. Dead End Baltimore won the last two games 1-0, with home runs deci- ding the outcome each time. Blair's homer won the third game and Frank Robinson clinched the title with a solo homer Sunday. Robinson won the American League Triple Crown during the 1966 season and a new ear as the outstanding player in the World Series. He seems a cinch to be named the league's Most Valuable Player. Bauer Wins Award Baltimore manager Hank Bauer was named American League Manager of the Year yesterday in Associated Press balloting. It marked the second time Bau- er has, captured the , award.
