Believe it or not, the Minnesota Twins are in
DETROIT (AP) — The Minnesota
Twins found winning on the road
wasn't so difficult if you hit the road
with a full head of steam.
The Twins great hope now is that
they can take the same formula they
used to heat the Detroit Tigers in the
American League playofTs and win the
World Series with it.
Tom Brunansky keyed a four run
Minnesota second inning with a two-
run double and belted a home run to
start a three-run ninth inning Monday
as the Twins beat the Tigers 9-5,
winning the best-of-seven scries 4-1 to
advance to their first World Scries in
22 years.
Minnesota third baseman Gary
Gaetti, who was named most valuable
player for the series, set the lone in
Game 1 when he homered his first two
at-bats.
That got the Twins rolling and they
never slowed.
The Twins, whose 56-25 record in
the Mctrodome was the best home
record in baseball, won both playoff
games there before their frenzied fans,
who waved their "homer hankies,"
and Minnesota used that momentum to
beat Detroit twice in Tiger Stadium.
"This is a tough place to play,"
Gaetti said. "You can get rattled here
pretty easily. But opening the scries in
Minnesota helped relieve the tension
and we knew after winning the first
two games, we would return to Minne-
sota anyway.”
Twins Manager Tom Kelly said
Gaetti's two opening-game homers,
and the Minnesota fans’ reaction to
them, set the tone for his young
balldub.
"I think it showed the rest of the
guys that we were capable of doing
some damage," said Kelly, the sixth
rookie manager and third in the AL to
win a playoff title since the inception
of divisional play in 1969. "If Gary
can hit the ball out of the park off
Doyle Alexander, then maybe the rest
of us can get something going, too.
“That was the big key to getting us
going on the right foot.”
Another key factor was the way the
underdog Twins shut down the Tigers
big guns. Detroit’s key hitters — Alan
Trammell, Darrell Evans and Kirk
Gibson — were never a factor.
"Those early games gave them
confidence," said Trammell, who
could only contribute a 4-for-20
performance. “At the same lime, we
had guys like me who were going into
slumps.
"To me, that was the key to this
series."
Evans, the 40 year-old veteran who
has become the Tigers unofficial
captain, also made three errors in the
scries, plus a crucial base-running
blunder which might have cost Detroit
the fourth game.
"It’snot one or two people,” Evans
said. "This has been a club where
everybody has contributed. There are
no big stars here.
"You shouldn’t be surprised at
Minnesota. They’re a good ballclub.
They didn’t let us get away with any
mistakes. 1 just wish we had played a
little bit better.”
The Tigers starting pitchers,
thought by many to be Detroit’s
biggest advantage, didn’t win a game.
The only Detroit victory went to
rookie Mike Henneman, in relief, after
Pat Sheridan hit a surprise two-run
homer in the eighth inning of Game 3.
"They just beat us up," Detroit
Manager Sparky Anderson said.
"They beat us up with offense and
defense and everything.
"It started when we opened. We
should never have opened. They just
jumped right on us. There was no turn-
ing point"
As fate would have it, the World
Series begins in the Metrodome on
Saturday night, the first time it has
ever been played indoors. The San
Francisco Giants lead the National
League playofTs 3-2 with Game 6
scheduled for tonight in St. Louis.
Only the 1973 New York Mets.who
went 82-79, had a worse regular-
season mark than Minnesota's 85-77
and still made it to the World Series.
Kelly ville falls from poll, Bristow hangs on
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — All
five No. 1 teams in the Oklahoma
Associated Press High School Foot
ball Poll maintained their positions
this week, but all arc being pressed.
In Class 5A, unbeaten Lawton
picked up its sixth victory in impress-
ive fashion, manhandling previously
third-ranked Edmond, 27-0. Lawton
received all nine first-place votes from
writers and broadcasters across the
state, and holds a 12-point margin over
No. 2 Jenks.
I
The new No. 3 team in the state’s
largest class is Midwest City, which
won for the fourth consecutive week.
Edmond, 4-2, fell to ninth.
Joining Lawton as the only other
unanimous pick this week is McAles
ter, which ran its record to 6-0 with a
28-6 victory over Tulsa Webster.
McAlcster has a nine point edge over
second ranked Carl Albert. In the
balloting, 10 points arc awarded for a
first place vote, nine for second, etc.
The only ranked team to lose in
Class 4A was Ardmore, which was
seventh last week but lost to sixth-
ranked Lawton Mac Arthur and
dropped out of this week’s poll.
Four teams received first-place
votes in Class 3A, with Broken Bow
heading the list with five. Second-
ranked Seminole picked up two first-
place votes and 75 points, eight fewer
than the leader. Third ranked Pauls
Valley and No. 5 Millwood received
the other first-place votes.
In Class 2A, Davis and Kingston
continue to battle for the lop spot.
Davis maintains its No. 1 ranking with
a 53-0 whitewash of Plainview, but
Kingston rolled 33-0over Valliant and
is only eight points back in the ballot-
ing. Hobart is third, Prague fourth and
Inola fifth, as was the case last week.
Marietta, with six No. 1 votes, is the
top-ranked team in Class A. Thomas
had two first-place votes and finished

Some win, some lose
Big 8 race begins to gear up
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Kansas State's 10-gamc losing streak
seems a good bet to reach 13.
This week the winless Wildcats host
No. 1 Oklahoma. Next week they get
to pack their bags and visit No. 2
Nebraska. The week after that finds
them in Stillwater, Okla., for a night
game against an Oklahoma State team
which is just as unbeaten as Oklahoma
and Nebraska.
That's the 0-5 K State Wildcats vs.
three teams that stand a collective
150.
“We’re on the Bataan Death March
the next three weeks," Coach Stan
Parrish said Monday during the Big
Eight’s telephonic news conference.
"We’ve got three undefeated teams in
a row, three teams that are in line for
the Orange Bowl. We’ve got to grab
each other by the hand and play our
best and do our best for the next three
weeks. That’s all I'm going to ask.
Nobody in the country has three
tougher games coming up than we
do."
It may give Parrish little comfort,
but at least the terrible trio will not all
be unbeaten and untied when they face
his battered troops. Oklahoma State
hosts Nebraska Saturday in the Big
Eight's showcase game of the week, a
meeting which will probably decide
who gels to play Oklahoma for the bid
to the Orange Bowl.
"It looks to me like a typical,
talented well coached Ncbrska
squad,” said Oklahoma State Coach
Pat Jones. “It’s a very complete foot-
ball team. Typical Nebraska.”
The Huskers, coming off a 54-2
pounding of Kansas, will be facing
three of the most talented offensive
operatives in the nation — sophomore
quarterback Mike Gundy, senior
running hack Thurman Thomas and
junior wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes.
Gundy, who hit 21 of 28 passes against
Colorado Saturday, is No. 8 in the
nation in passing efficiency with a
rating of 140.8. He’s No. 13 in the
nation in total offense with 225.8 yards
per game.
Thomas, fully recovered from the
injuries that plagued his junior season,
leads the nation in rushing with 140
yards each outing. And Dykes, the
stylish, 6-foot-4 wide receiver, is No. 6
in the nation with 6.4 catches per
game.
Gundy and Thomas together arc
averaging 365 yards in total offense,
which is almost 130 yards better than
Kansas as a team.
"They’re not the only good players
we’ve got, but as far as three offensive
players go, they’re leaders not only in
the league but nationally, too,” said
O-State Coach Pat Jones. "They're
three guys who are above-average
athletes, very quality athletes, very
productive people. They can make a
lot of things happen.”
Colorado's Bill McCartney and
Missouri’s Woody Widenhofcr could
both find comfort in the records of the
teams they’ve lost to. But only one
does.
Colorado’s 3-2 record reflects
defeats only to Oregon and Oklahoma
Slate. The Cowboys ofO-Slatc arc 5-0
while Oregon, the surprise of the
Pac-10, stands 4-1. Docs this mean the
Buffs, who lost at Oklahoma State
Saturday, arc better than their record?
"No,” McCartney said "We
haven’t played good in five games.
We’ve won three, but we haven’t play-
ed well in all five. I don’t know what
the answers arc. We’re going to look
inside out and sec what changes need
to be made, and we're going to make
them. ’ ’
Missouri lost to Syracuse, 5-0, and
Indiana, 4-1, and beat a Baylor team
that’s now 5-1.
"I think we might be better than a
lot of people think," Widenhofcr said
"And maybe not quite as good as
some of our fans think. I know the
most important thing is wc have to do
is gel better every week. Indiana and
Syracuse arc very good football teams.
Indiana has a chance to go to the Rose
Bowl.”
Widcnhofcr’s new wishbone
offense is grinding out more than 300
yards rushing each game, but, like the
Oklahoma wishbone, it’s spreading
the carries and glory around to several
backs.

Giants and Cards
prepare for game
Mizzou coach arrested
ST. LOUIS (AP) — If the San Fran
cisco Giants were feeling pressure
going into tonight’s game that could
put them tn the World Series for the
first time in 25 years, they sure had a
funny way of showing it.
Hollering and clowning around as if
it were the first day of spring training,
the Giants brimmcxl with confidence
during a spirited 114-hour workout
Monday at Busch Stadium.
The St. Louis Cardinals, mean-
while, were nowhere to be found.
Trailing 3-2 in the best-of-seven
National League playoffs, St. Louis
Manager Whitcy Herzog went fishing
and gave his hobbled troops a day off.
Giants' pitching coach Norm Sher-
ry set the mood of the day by playfully
slamming a fungo bat about a foot
from slugger Jeffrey Leonard's arm on
a card table in the clubhouse. Leonard
didn’t flinch.
“C’mon, let’s stretch," Sherry
barked.
Leonard, who homered in each of
ihe first four games without once smil-
ing or sounding excited, calmly
finished his game of Hearts with Will
Clark and Joe Price before taking the
field.
Dave Dravecky, the Giants’ left-
hander who shut out the Cardinals on
iwo hits in Game 2, prepared for his
Signup set
By the Herald Staff
The Sapulpa Wrestling Federation
will hold a signup meeting at 7 p.m.
tonight at the SHS wrestling room.
Boys ages 6-13 are eligible to
rematch against John Tudor in Game 6
by playing cheerleader during stretch
ing exercises.
Clark, who never stops chattering
on the field, sniffed the cool air, fell
the sun on his face and bellowed, “I
like this weather. This would be winter
down in New Orleans."
Don Robinson led a group of relief
pitchers in a lively home run derby,
whacking two shots about 400 feet
into the second deck in left field.
The Giants could have taken
Monday off just like the Cardinals, but
couldn’t think of anyplace they’d
rather be than the ballpark.
"I told the guys they didn’t have to
work out," San Francisco Manager
Roger Craig said. "I was kind of
hoping they’d say no so I could go out
and visit some of my family here. But
they want to work out, they want to
keep the momentum going.”
The Giants also were aware of a
quirk in their record this year. They
seem to lose at home after days off and
on the road after travel days.
"Most of the times we’ve taken off
we’ve been sluggish," catcher Bob
Brcnly said. "It's cither sit around the
hotel or run around the (shopping)
mall with our wives."
"We haven’t been real good after
off days," shortstop Jose Uribe said.
"We like to keep everything in a flow.
Everybody wanted to come out."
Craig said left-hander Atlcc
Hammakcr would start the seventh
game of the playoffs on Wednesday
night if the Giants lose tonight. Herzog
wasn’t around to say whether he
would send out left-hander Joe
Magranc again to oppose Hammakcr
as he did in Game 3.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The
attorney for Missouri football coach
Woody Widenhofcr confirmed
Monday that Widenhofcr had a blood
alcohol level above the legal limit
when he was arrested early Sunday for
speeding and driving while
intoxicated.
Columbia attorney Pat Eng said the
44 year-old Widenhofcr had a blood
alcohol level of .18, almost twice the
legal limit of. 10. when he was arrested
several hours after the Tigers defeated
Kansas State in a homecoming game
at Faurol Field in Columbia.
Widenhofcr, who is scheduled for
arraignment Wednesday in Boone
County Associate Circut Court, main-
tained his public silence Monday.
