THE BATTALION
Tigers Clobber St. Louis, 13-1
ST. LOUIS UP) — The aroused
Detroit Tigers clobbered St. Louis
pitching for a record-tying 10
runs in the third inning Wednes
day and squared the World Series
at three games each with a 13-1
victory behind Denny McLain, a
two-time loser.
Jim Northrup’s grand slam
homer off relief pitcher Larry
Jaster was the big blow in the
third when the Tigers sent 15
men to the plate against loser
Ray Washburn and three others.
It was the biggest Series in
ning since Hack Wilson mis
judged a fly ball at Philadelphia
in 1929 and opened the gates for
10 runs by the Philadelphia A’s
against the Chicago Cubs. The
A’s, trailing 8-0 at the time, also
sent 15 men to bat.
The final score didn’t quite
match the New York Yankees’
18-4 rout of the New York Giants
in 1936.
Julian Javier’s single with two
out and two on in the ninth saved
the Cards from suffering the
most lopsided shutout in Series
history.
McLain, second choice to in
jured Earl Wilson in Manager
Mayo Smith’s pre-game opinion,
made up for two earlier defeats
by Bob Gibson as he came back
strong with a cortisone shot eas
ing his aching right shoulder.
It was apparent early that this
was not Washburn’s day. The
Tigers hopped on him for two
runs in the second when Norm
Cash walked on a 3-1 pitch, Willie
Horton doubled him home and
Bill Freehan broke a 16-at-bat
hitless streak with a single, scor
ing Horton. Washburn, a winner
with relief help from Joe Hoerner
in the third game, was wild and
was not throwing hard.
The third inning started inno
cently enough with a walk to
Dick McAuliffe on four pitches.
Before it was over 10 runs were
in, 15 men had been at bat and
the Cards’ Washburn, Jaster, Ron
Willis and Dick Hughes had been
slammed for a grand-slam homer,
six singles, four walks and a hit
batsman.
After McAuliffe walked, Mick
ey Stanley singled to left and
A1 Kaline, who had three hits
and drove in four runs, pumped
a single to center, scoring Mc
Auliffe. That was all for Wash-
bum.
Jaster never did get anybody
out. Norm Cash singled, scoring
Stanley and Willie Horton walked,
loading the bases. Northrup, who
hit four grand slam homers in

successive innings against Cleve

second pitch in the Card bullpen,
about 380 feet away in right field.
It was the 11th Series grand
slammer and first since the
Yanks’ Joe Pepitone in 1964.
Now it was 8-0 but the Tigers
weren’t through yet. Freehan,
first man to face Willis, walked
on four pitches. Don Wert was
hit by a pitch and McLain made
the first out, a sacrifice bunt. An
intentional walk to McAuliffe
loaded the bases again and Ka

his second hit of the inning,
driving in Wert and McAuliffe.
Dick Hughes was the next vic

over Orlando Cepeda’s head, scor

Odom May Be Short On Inches
But He’s Tall In Coaches’ Book
Size, says Texas A&M football
coach Gene Stallings, is relatively
unimportant. Things like speed,
desire, determination, etc., rate
higher with him.
Lynn Odom, A&M’s middle
guard on defense, wanted a
chance to play for the Aggies
so badly that it’s believed he
storied just a mite about his size.
He said he was 5-10 and 185 when
A&M recruiters visited him. Later
they suspected he was somewhat
smaller.
Going into his sophomore year,
he filled out his questionnaire
that he was 5-9 and 195. This fall
he filled one out that he was
5-10 and 210.
“I really don’t care about his
size as long as he continues to
hit people like he does,” Stallings
says.
Curley Hallman, a Northport,
Ala., native visited at home a
few days after the Aggies’ 20-16
Cotton Bowl win over Alabama
and brought back a tale about
Odom. One of Curley’s friends
who played in the Alabama of
fensive line asked: “Who was
that No. 7 for you-all. He wasn’t
even on our scouting report and
he liked to have tore off my
head!”
Odom was injured in the 1967
season’s opener against SMU and
really didn’t get back into top
playing condition until late in
the year. But, he was ready when
the Cotton Bowl came around.
He was captain and most valu
able lineman on a fine Corsicana
High team his senior year. He
won a freshman numeral at A&M
and then in the spring won the
starting job with the varsity.
The opening-game injury put him
behind but he came on strong
again this spring and now is a
fixture at middle guard.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon
ard Odom of Corsicana, Lynn
says weight lifting is one of his
hobbies. So, those added pounds
could be legitimate.
Sometimes Odom is overshad
owed by his senior mates on
either side of him, Rolf Krueger
and Harvey Aschenbeck. But,
when the action is piled up in
the middle, you can usually find
Odom wrapped around the ball
carrier.
This week Odom has his work
cut out as he lines up against
a strong front line wearing Texas
Tech colors. He’ll have to give a
great performance to aid the
Aggies in that one.
