Associated Press Sports Writer
Great offense or bad defense?
Pig Eight football coaches
were puzzling over that ques-
tion after Saturday's high-:scor-
ing spring games.
At Oklahoma, the Varsity de-
feated the Alumni 44-26 before

grads come to life with four
TDs the last 7:33

around the No 1 defense, beat

the ball and it hit McCovey’s
bat as the Giant slugger fol

at first ruled both McCovey and
Mays out but was reversed by
the other three umpires, who
awarded Mays the stolen base
Schoendienst argued and then
announced he was playing the
game under protest. Rookie
Dave Marshall followed the rhu-
barb with his first major league
homer, putting the Giants in
front to stay.
In other National League
games Sunday, Chicago swept a
doubleheader from New York
3-2 and 1-0, Cincinnati went 16
innings to edge Los Angeles 3-2,
Pittsburgh topped Philadelphia

In the American League, Bal-
