Lopes’ two homeruns lead L.A.
n
Dodgers pound Yankees in opener
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Having run
head-on into a tidal wave of “Dodger
Blue” emotion, the New York Yan
kees, rocked by 15 hits and three
homers, tum to Catfish Hunter, the
catalyst of their miracle of 1978 com
eback, in an effort to get even tonight
in the second game of the World
Series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came
out wearing black patches bearing
the numeral 19 on their uniform
sleeves Tuesday night in tribute to
their late coach, Jim Gilliam. They
took out their bereavement on the
Yankees, 11-5, with Davey Lopes’
two home runs triggering the vic
tory.
Gilliam, who died Sunday night
after lying in a coma for three weeks
following a cerebral hemorrhage,
will be buried today.
“Jimmy’s up there watching us,”
said Lopes, who belted a two-run
homer in the second inning and
added a three-run blast in the fourth
to increase the Dodgers’ lead to 6-0.
The Yankees should know they’re
playing 50 of us out there now in
stead of 25. That’s because Jimmy’s
spirit is in every one of us and he’s in
all the right holes.”
Meanwhile the Yankees didn’t
score until the seventh inning and
managed just two fly balls out of the
infield over the first six innings
against Tommy John, the Dodgers’
35-year-old sinkerball specialist.

Suggestions:
“Our scouting report on John was
probably the best thing we had in the
game,” said Yankee Manager Bob
Lemon. “They said he doesn’t like to
let the ball go airborne and that’s
pretty much what happened until
the Dodgers started throwing the
ball around in the late innings.”
Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda
will go with his top winner, right
hander Burt Hooton, in hopes of tak
ing a 2-0 lead in games back to New
York.
The Dodgers wasted no time in
giving John a comfortable cushion.
After wasting a pair of singles in the
first inning, they began to take Yan
kee starter Ed Figueroa apart in the
second.
Dusty Baker led off with the first
home run of the Series — a blast that
just cleared the wall in left. Rick
Monday was next with a lined double
to center that Mickey Rivers almost
caught at his shoetips. When
Figueroa walked Lee Lacy, Lemon
came to the mound for a chat with his
20 game-winning right-hander.
The talk apparently did some good
because the next batter, Steve
Yeager, hit into a double play, but
Lopes drilled a 400-foot shot over the
left-center field wall. The record
Dodger Stadium crowd of 55,997
screamed for a curtain call that Lopes
obliged by stepping out of the dug-
out and tipping his hat to the crowd.
Their home-run bats having
forged the early lead, the Dodgers
turned to their singles attack to pad it
after Lopes’ second shot.
An infield single by Ron Gey, a
lined single by Dusty Baker and a
wild pitch from reliever Ken Clay
made it 7-0 in the fifth. Three more
Dodger runs came in the seventh
when Steve Garvey and Baker sing
led, pinch hitter Bill North doubled
over third base for two runs and Lee
Lacy, the Dodgers’ first-ever World
Series designated hitter, singled
home North.
By that time the Yankees were suf
ficiently subdued, although they did
manage to kayo John in the eighth.
Reggie Jackson broke John’s shut
out in the seventh with a leadoft
homer — his sixth homer in four
Series games — and the Yanks added
two more in the inning when, after
Lopes’ errant flip to second on Chris
Chambliss’ infield grounder, Fred
Stanley moved the two Yankee
baserunners up on an infield out and
Bucky Dent singled them home on a
line single over shortstop.
Singles by Roy White and Jackson
gave indication that John was tiring
in the eighth and he wasn’t helped
when shortstop Bill Russell un
corked a wild throw back to the
mound. Munson scored on
rant toss and a single by Ci
ties brought in Piniella to
10-5 and finish John. Tem,
however, slammed the doc
Yankees by blanking themili
the way.
“Things got sloppy a t

I the A
By MARK PATTERSON
Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M defense domi
nated Coach Emory Bellard’s
thoughts as he addressed the press
in his weekly conference Tuesday.
“Our defense is improving every
week,” Bellard said about the de
fense, a question mark at the start of
the 1978 season. “Going into the
year we knew we had a good unit
but everything that was said was
based solely on speculation. They
had so little experience at their posi
tions.
“We knew we had a group of men
that indicated they wanted to play
good defense and they’ve gone out
and done it.”
In doing so the Aggie defense
ranks as one of the nation’s best, al
lowing 5.3 points and 160.3 yards
average per game. Against Texas
Tech last week Texas A&M’s de
fense had its worst game of the sea
son, giving up 147 yards rushing and
143 yards passing.
Still, the defense held Tech with
out a touchdown, allowing only
three field goals. That makes a string
of 14 straight quarters the opposition
hasn’t crossed the goal line against
the Aggies.
“This past week we (the defense)
played better than we have all sea
son,” Bellard continued. “We were
put into a situation early in the ball
game where we had to put it all to
gether to keep everything stable.
And we did it, only giving up the
two field goals (in the first quarter).
“Keeping them out of the end
zone is the determinant if you’re
playing good defense or not. You
can throw statistics out the window
because they really don’t determine
who wins or loses. And this defense
isn’t as good as it’s going to be.
They’re maturing, becoming more
knowledgable, with every test
they’re getting. And not just one
part of the team is improving but all
phases.”
Bellard cited individual players
who had outstanding games for the
Aggies Saturday, including Jacob
Green at defensive left end, Darrell
Smith at left cornerback, Russell
Mikeska at tight end and the entire
Aggie backfield of Mike Mosley,
David Brothers, Adger Armstrong
and Heisman Trophy candidate Cur
tis Dickey.
“Jacob Green really had his motor
running in Saturday’s game,” Bel
lard said. “He was all over that foot
ball field. But he’s played well every
week for us this year. He’s made a
bucket full of big plays for us.
“Darrell Smith just has an instinct
for playing defense. He needs it
since he hasn’t been playing it too
long. We moved him to corner-
back in spring as an experiment and
he fit in so well he stayed there as a
starter. He’s adapted and he’s work
ing well for us back there.”
The Texas A&M offense needs lit
tle explanation of the performance
it’s turned in this season. Run by
Mosley at quarterback with Brothers
at fullback and Armstrong and
Dickey at halfback, the offense is
averaging 485 yards per game while
adding 42.5 points per outing.
“David Brothers had his best
game of the year Saturday against
Tech,” Bellard praised. “He’s get
ting settled at the fullback position
and he’s begun playing like it.
“And Adger has been really
humming out there. I don’t know if
anyone’s noticed, but he’s been
blocking exceptionally well all year.
On Mosley’s 64-yard touchdown run
Adger had Tech’s defensive end’s
feet up over his head after he made
his block on him.
“And there’s little more I can say
about Curtis. We don’t have to do
too much about pushing him for the
Heisman Trophy, he’s doing a
pretty good job himself. His per
formances will bring him his recog-
o ■■ ■'
nition. He was named l]
tional Back of the Week lx
hasn’t been named Southi
ference Back of the Week
that’s strange.”
The Aggie offense, w
aged 64-yards per touchi
against Tech, rolled up2£

was held to 18 yards in 8i

ter for 117 yards on nine
“I thought we moved tin

"On the option play its
nerback decision on whole
the first half he was play
so Mike kept the hall for
dage. If he’d rather have
64 yards than Curtis, that’s
us.”
