DETROIT'S EDDIE BRINKMAN crosses the plate after blasting his fifth homer of the season. The two
run shot helped boost the Tigers past the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2. Winning pitcher Woodie Fryman and
Aurelio Rodriguez wait to shake steady Eddie's hand.

York Yankees nipped the Boston
Red Sox 3-2, ending Luis Tiant's
string of seven consecutive com-
plete game victories.
Winner Fritz Peterson, 15-14,
took a 3-0 lead into the seventh but
was kayoed when Cal Yastrzem-
ski singled, Ben Oglivie homered
and Rico Petrocelli walked.
That brought on Lyle, who shut
off the Red Sox the rest of the
way.
New York had nicked Tiant for
a run in the first inning on con-
secutive two-out doubles by Bobby
Murcer and Ron Blomberg, giving
Peterson a quick lead.
In the fifth, Gene Michael walk-
ed, was sacrificed to second by
Peterson and scored on Roy
White's ground rule double for a
2-0 Yankee edge.
New York added another in the
sixth on singles by Celerino San-
chez, Michael and Peterson, to
knock out Tiant.

again appear to be one of the "strongest" teams - it has been

One of the all time greats who will be back for his third year is
nsive end Gorilla Greer, or at least most sane people consider
to be offensive.
Gorilla learned his football in the sewer behind his shanty man-
next to the greater downtown Detroit river under the watchful
of the Hurdy-turdy man who demonstrated the basics of tackling
kicking alley cats.
Smut and Dirt magazine picked Gorilla on its first gutter team.

Twelve first-place votes and 694
points went to Oklahoma, which
climbed from sixth to fourth. The
Sooners were national runners-up
last season.
Alabama replaced Penn State in
fifth* place by whipping Duke 35-12
while the Nittany Lions were idle.
Penn State, with one first-place
vote, slipped to sixth, followed by
Tennessee, which thrashed Georgia
Tech 34-3 and also earned one first-
place ballot.
UCLA, Nebraska's surprise con-
queror, took down four top' votes;
and was ranked eighth after fail-
ing to crack the preseason Top
Twenty. Louisiana State rose from
11th to ninth and Nebraska round-
ed out the Top Ten and even got
one first-place vote.
The other No. 1 ballot went to
Washington, 13-6 winner over Pa-
cific. The Huskies were 12th, be-

MILWAUKEE OP) - Milwaukee and
Bucks General Manager Wayne <
Embry said yesterday legal ad-
visors of the National Basketball to t
Association club are considering t t
the Julius Erving case in antici- at
pation of a meeting tomorrow with Grid
Atlanta Hawks officials and NBA 1.P
Commissioner Walter Kennedy.
Embry's comment came after a 2.
superior court judge in Atlanta had 3.
ruled yesterday t h a t Erving's 4.I
three-year contract with the Vir- S.I
ginia Squires of the American Bas- 6. D
ketball Association was voidable 7.P

ing could play with the NBA 10. t
Hawks, who had signed him last s
spring. However, the Bucks made!
Erving their second round choice
in the NBA draft the day after the
young forward had signed with At-
lanta.
Kennedy had r u 1 e d several
months ago that the Bucks owned
draftrights to Erving. That ruling
was reaffirmed recently by the
NBA's Board of Governors, who
orderedtthe Bucks and Hawks to
work out a settlement.
The board further stipulated the
settlement had to be satisfactory
to Milwaukee.
"We have always acted in ac-
cordance with NBA constitution
and bylaws in regard to Julius
Erving," Embry said in a state-
ment.
"Atlanta apparently has violated
bylaws and the constitution and
the Board of Governors has direct-
ed them to make agreement with
us," Embry said. "Such an agree-
ment has not been made.
"Julius can report to Atlanta's
camp but the commissioner must
approve his contract before he can
play in a game. The commissioner
has not approved the contract to
our knowledge," Embry said.
A spokesman for Kennedy con-
firmed that the commissioner had
not yet approved the contract.
