"If I were the Sugar Bowl, I would mount a new offensive at landing an SEC tieup," Maddox said. "I'm sure our conference will reexamine our policy of not ty- ing up with any bowl. "Speaking personally, I have always been in favor of our champion playing in the Su- gar. It was a partial feeling, I'm sure. I simply felt that if LSU was champion, it belong- ed in the Sugar as a state uni- versity. "However, there was pretty good sentiment around the con- ference for keeping things as they are, the feeling being that if your champion was locked up, it would make the other SEC teams less desirable." The four major bowls cur- rently offer four openings, one of which is generally filled by the SEC champ. The Rose Bowl is closed to anyone other than the Big Ten or Pac-8 champ.

Chris Speier's relay to first worked just as well, and the near-bankrupt tenants of Candlestick Park moved oi closer to Seattle with a 4-1 loss.

The tournament's only un- beaten, South Carolina, 50-4, met Texas, 54-6, in the night's other game. AN INFIELD single by Ken Landreax, a sacrifice and Pate's single to center broke up a su- perb pitching duel between Po- loni and Oklahoma left-hander Bob Shirley. Arizona State's season mark moved to 61-12, Poloni, a junior left-hander, allowed only four scattered sin- gles and at one point retired 15 in a row. No Oklahoma runner advanced past second base. Poloni ran his record to 10-1. He struck out eight and walked only one. SHIRLEY, losing his second hard-luck series game, surren- derd 12 hits before departing with two out in the 11th, but was tough with men on base. The game's only scoring op- portunity before the 11th came in the 10th when Arizona State's Clay Westlake singled, but was thrown out at the plate on a double by Chris Nyman. Oklahoma, 52-10, had two run- ners on in only the 10th inning, when Kelley Snider singled with two out and moved to second on an infield error. However, Po- loni then retired the side on a ground ball.
