United Press International
HOUSTON — Both sides viewed
Houston pitcher Vern Ruble’s masterful
[hree-hit shutout of the San Franciso
Giants as a simple matter of rhythm.
After a rocky first inning, Ruble
didn’t miss a beat. At one point in the
Astros’ 2-0 win over the Giants Tuesday
ight, he retired 23 batters in a row.
“I had real good stuff and I got three
[different pitches over the plate,” Ruble
said. “So I didn’t walk anybody. I didn’t
try to overthrow any of my pitches. I was
able to get the first pitch over to just
about every batter and get right back on
the mound ready to throw.
“It helped my keep my rhythm the
whole game.”
San Francisco manager Frank Robin
son said his team couldn’t force Ruble
out of his groove.
“We weren’t able to put any pressure
on Ruble except for the first inning,
when we had two men on base,” Robin
son said. “We didn’t do anything to get
him out of his rhythm.”
The only hits by the Giants were sing
les by Joe Morgan and Chili Davis in the
first inning and a single by Dave Berg
man in the ninth.
Ruble, who struck out five, got out of
the first-inning jam when catcher Alan
Ashby picked Davis off second and Jack
Clark struck out.
“When Vern is throwing the ball
where he wants to like tonight, he can
mow them down,” Ashby said. “It’s prob
ably a comfortable game for the hitters in
that he wasn’t striking out a lot of men,
but he just kept getting them out.”

the world on fire. Let’s set the
American record — take a shot
at the world record, but set the
American record in the prelims.
Let’s blow everybody’s doors off
so they’ll all think in terms of
going for second and third.’
“Physically, I was there to win
the trials,” he said. “I got in the
water and was so excited and so
hyped up for it. I took off, and I
had put on about 10 pounds in
the last year and had gotten
stronger.
“I was always known for hav
ing a real nice, smooth, easy
stroke and letting it work for me.
I had gained so much strength
that, for the first time in my life,
I had strength enough to go easy
and still go fast.
“When I went all out like I
always had,” Nash said, “I swam
right through my stroke. It’s like
overshooting the basket or run
ning out of bounds because
you’re trying to take the turn too
fast. I did the same thing in
swimming. I slipped through

my stroke, so I wasn’t grabbing
as much water.”
Nash missed the finals by two
hundredths of a second, thereby
missing his chance at the 1972
Olympic games.
“It was the inexperience and I
just didn’t use my head — it-'
wasn’t a choke, but more like.;-
overzealousness,” he said.
“I missed that one, and it kind'
of set me back going into college-
because that was my whole *
dream. Before I even left before
the trials, they had given me a",
‘good luck at the Olympics’ par-v^
ty. Nobody thought about a '
‘good luck at the Olympic trials’ h
party.
“It was an on-the-verge-of-1
ruining-the-rest-of-your-life ' ‘
disappointment,” Nash said. “It
took me two and a half years to
come out of it — literally. I went
into pre-med at Indiana and.
almost flunked out the first£
semester. I didn’t go out and£
take drugs or anything like that,
but I was in a daze for two and a
half years, and especially for>
that first year, I was just kind of<
wondering what happened.
“I said, ‘Now wait a minute,
I’ve had a charmed life until!
now. Everything went perfect.’;
It was tough to cope with, and I
went through my freshman year
and did reasonably well at the
NCAAs. I got fourth in the 50-
meter freestyle, but my two No.,
1 events — the 100 freestyle and
the 100 backstroke — that I had
been first in the country out of'
school, I didn’t even make all-”
America in during my freshman;;
year.”
During the championship
trials for the 1973 World Games,”
Nash said, he swam “terrible,
but qualified for the finals. And ;
another trick on his father’s part
gave Nash an added boost when
it came time for his events.
“My dad was timing me be
fore the race,” Nash said.
“There’s a thing that a lot of
coaches do before the race, and
it’s called ‘rubber-watching.”;
That’s when they time the'
sprints, and if someone goes a
little slow, (the coach) will tell ’
them a faster time. That keeps
them psyched up.
“To give you an idea, I usually
would go about 11 seconds flat
for 25’s freestyle-wise and at this
meet, my dad was taking my
sprints and I was going about f
11.5 or 11.6.1 was still a bit of am"
obnoxious kid at the time, since
everything had been going!*
wrong for me swimming-wise. F
got a little bit snappy with my
dad, and I said, ‘Well, how do
you expect me to do anything
when I’m swimming so slow?’ 7
“My dad said: ‘Well, you’rd
not swimming too bad — you
look pretty good.’ I had the con-"
flict that my dad wasn’t (Coach)..
Doc Counsilman, so I tried to •
put a little dig in him,” Nash
said. “I told my dad that if he:
knew anything about coaching,
he would have rubber-watched/.
“Then he told me: ‘Now wait a
minute. I’m going to be honest
with you and tell you what‘
you’re doing, and if you’re man
enough, you’re going to go out'
there and do it. So get up on the
blocks and do your job.’
“Then I went berserk and-'
went from eighth to fourth irh-
the freestyle and I made the’
world championship relay, and-!
we went over and won the world
games,” he said.
And that’s when Nash began.-
making a comeback from his dis
gruntling finish at the 1972.
Olympic trials.
