Brewers
lose 4-2;
Angels'
need one
to clinch

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)- Bruce Kison turned in
California's second masterful pitching performance
in two nights with a five-hitter and the Angels,
playing a game of bunt-and-run, took a two games-to-
none advantage in the American League Champion-
ship Series with a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers last night.
Reggie Jackson broke one playoff record and tied
another when he homered for the Angels'in the third
inning to give California a 3-0 lead.
The loss backed Milwaukee into a very bleak cor-
ner: no team ever has recovered from an 0-2 deficit to
win an A.L. playoff. The best-of-five series resumes
with Game Three in Milwaukee tomorrow.
Kison, 10-5 during the regular season, had only
mediocre success against the Brewers this year, with
a 1-1 record an 3.14 ERA. But he limited Milwaukee
to two runs, both coming on Paul Molitor's fifth-in-
ning inside-the-park homer. He retired 14 batters on
groundballs and allowed two infield hits. The last 13
Brewers were retired in order.

The wiry right-hander struck out eight, including
Gorman Thomas twice, and did not walk a batter. the
Angels now have held Milwaukee's mighty bats to 12
hits and five runs in two nights. Tommy John pitched
a seven-hitter to beat the Brewers 8-3 Tuesday.
Jackson's homer was his sixth in a record 10 A.L.
championship series, tying the mark held by Kansas
City's George Brett. It also was his 18th playoff RBI,
breaking former New York Yankee teammate Graig
Nettles' record of 17.
National league playoff rained out
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Yesterday's opening game of
the National League Championship Series between
the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals was post-
poned by rain.
The Braves, behind the baffling knuckleball of Phil
Niekro, were leading 1-0 with one out in the fifth in-
ning when the clouds that had hung threateningly
over Busch Stadium since before the game began,
opened up.

THE AUTOMATIC tarpaulin quickly covered the
field but the steady rain continued to fall and after a
wait of two hours and 28 minutes, NL President Chub
Feeney ordered the game postponed.
The contest will be replayed from the start on
Thursday night, with the forecast for fair weather,
and the entire playoff schedule was pushed back one
day.
The game started under leaden skies after a slight
rain delay and the lights were turned on before Atlan-
ta's leadoff batter, Claudell Washington, stepped in to
face St. Louis starter Joaquin Andujar.
WASHINGTON opened with a double off the left
field fence, moved to third on a sacrifice by Rafael
Ramirez and scored on a two-out single by Chris
Chambliss, giving the Braves the game's only run.
Ozzie Smith had opened the fifth with a ground out
and Andujar was coming to the plate when the rains
interrupted play and finally forced the cancellation.

By JUDY WALTON
It may not have held as much impor-
tance to the majority of students as the
football game this Saturday, but the
University of Michigan women's
volleyball team reigned supreme in its
first-ever victory over the Michigan
State Spartans last night, 20-18, 15-7, 5-
15, 2-15, 15-7.
The Wolverines won the marathon
first game in a close, scrappy contest
by a #score of 20-18. The teams traded
the lead back and forth, forcing the
game to 20 points until Alison Noble
sef ved to put the Spartans away.
MICHIGAN seemed in control of the4
match during the second game, which it
won rather easily, 15-7. The Wolverines
were aided by some early serving
problems by the Spartans, and a well-
planned attack of their own. They
seemed much looser and relaxed
during the second game.
All was going well for Michigan until
the third game, which Michigan State
won hands-down, 15-5. The Wolverines
were inconsistent in their attacks and
lapsed somewhat on their spikel
coverage. The Spartans on the other
hand, executed an aggressive offense
and continued their dominating play
through the fourth game, which they
won by a score of 15-2.
The fifth and decisive game of the
match was marked by excellent play on
behalf of both the Wolverines and the
Spartans. The Michigan attack was
led offensively by the key plays of hitter
Deborah Holloway. Holloway's con-
sistent spiking forced the Spartans toG
scramble into their spike coverage
somewhat hastily. Michigan's momen-
tum was aided midway through the
game by an official awardance of a
yellow warning card to the Michigan
State bench for unsportsmanlike
behavior. Michigan won the fifth game
by a decisive score of 15-7.
Wolverine coach Sandy Vong was
very pleased with the play of his team.
"I'm happy to see the girls win this
match," he said. "We've never beaten
Michigan State before." the importan-
ce of the match was not lost on Vong.
"This means a lot in the Big Ten stan-
dings," he added. The Wolverines next
home match is against Illinois on Oc
tober 15 at 7;00 p.m. at the CCRB.

First, don't pick the games that I

suspected of holding hands in the hud-
dle. . . and during plays. . . and at post
game parties. More hints tomorrow t
help you knock the men off Griddes
mountain.
