Pittsburgh-Oakland
in World Series?
I'U take the Oakland Athletics,
In six gamea, to repeat as the
World Series Champions.
Except for the consistency dis¬
played by. the current world
champs, this year's baseball sea¬
son has been a "your guess Is as
good ss mine" type of season as
far as predicting pennant win-
In the National League play¬
offs will be the powerful Los
Angeles Dodgers, who lead both
leagues with a 101-60 record,
and the hard-hitting Pittsburgh
Pirates.
It's too bad Walter Alson, the
Dodger's coach, can't rely on his
team's fine .625 win-loss per¬
centage to psych out the Bucs.
Pittsburgh, who went "down to
the wire" with the St. Louis
Cardinals, should edge the
Dodgers 3-2 In the play-offs.
The red-hot BaltlmoreOrloles,
who won their fifth American
League East championship In the
last six seasons Tuesday night,
will face the current world
champs, Oakland.
Earl Weaver and his Baltimore
Orioles are not strangers to the
Oakland Athletics.
After the A's dispose of Balti¬
more (should go four games), the
Dodgers   or   the   Bucs   will   be
Just as they disposed of the
Mets In '72 and the Reds In '73,

Unbeaten Aggies await Bulldog invasion
By Rick Elklns   .
Collegian Sports Editor
Down, but not out, the frustrat¬
ed Bulldog football team will
travel east this weekend still
looking for their first win of the
1974 season.
On what was supposed to be
an improving year for the Bull¬
dogs of head coach J R Boone, the
'Dogs have failed to win a game
In four tries.
The sad part of the season thus
far for coach Boone and Ms staff
Is the fact that the Bulldogs should
be 3-1, Instead of 0-4. In only one
game have, the 'Dogs actually
been out of It, and In the other
three games the Bulldogs lost
with only a few seconds remain¬
ing.
In the first game of the year,
the TJogs were leading with only
four seconds l#ft, only to have
Cal Poly, Pomona score and take
a 13-12 victory. Against Montana,
Fresno lost In the last 26 seconds
on a quarterback sack, and again
last week the 'Dogs lost when a
pass was Intercepted in the end
zone. This time with only 21 sec¬
onds   remaining   on   the  clock.
The encouraging thing to coach
given up. *1 was very encouraged
by our performance late In the
game. Th'e way tt was going, we
had every reason In the world to
give up, but. by golly, they stayed
In there and we had a legitimate
shot to win It,* Boone Said of last
week's rally from a 17-0 deficit.
Coming so close to victory, but
only to see It slip from their
grasp at the last second, It could
be damaging to some teams, but
the morale seems tobe remaining
high for the 'Dogs.
•Sure It's a bitch to lose, but ■
we will come back,* said a con¬
fident Nef Cortez, the Bulldogs'
starting   QB  In  this  weekend's
encouraging t<
back like we did. Sure It's a let¬
down to lose In the last seconds,
but team morale Is picking up
with us coming so close,* Cor¬
tez added.
Dr. Robert Levlne, professor
of psychology at Fresno, seems
to back Cortes's feelings about
the team coming closer to vic¬
tory, the more encouraging things
get.
Levlne sees the 'Dogs' last
minute losses being very frus¬
trating, but he says that will make
a team more aggressive. "The
more you are frustrated, the
more aggressive you become,"
Levlne said.
Their grasping for victory -
being frustrated every week, es¬
pecially after coming so close, It
makes them more aggressive to
win," he added.
Levlne added that If the team
had been getting beat by wide
margins, then this theory would
not apply because there would be
nothing to give the team any
encouragement,
"It Is like asking a girl out,"
he explained. "If she says yes
the first few times, then starts
saying  no,  you keep trying be¬
ll yes tti
But Levlne says the aggression
must be channeled to be taken out
on the opposing team in next
week's game and not in practice.
This has to be done by the
coaching staff, he says.
This Saturday the 'Dogs will
need all the aggressiveness they
can muster, because they will
face the New Mexico State Uni¬
versity Aggies In Las Cruces.
The Aggies of coach Jim Brad¬
ley are undefeated so far this
season, rolling over Wichita State
13-12, Southern Illinois 28-9,
West Texas State 41-0 and last
week's clubbing of Texas/Ar¬
lington 42-12.

Two all-American candidates
lead the team. Jim Germany, the
Aggies' leading ground gainer
last year, although only playing
In seven games, is back. The 6-1,
205-pounder ran for 192 yards In
21 carries last week. For the
season, he has gained 546 yards,
with a 6.3 yard per carry aver¬
age.
The other all-American candi¬
date the Aggies have Is Terry
Shiveley. Described as probably
the best player on the squad, the
6-2, 220 pounder plays defensive
end. Last year Shiveley sacked
enemy quarterbacks 16 times,
and already has four sackings
this year and leads the team In
unassisted tackles.
The Bulldogs will go Into the
New Mexico clash hoping to put
the ball In the air more. In last
week's game against Cal Poly,
the 'Dogs managed 211 yards
through the air, 136 of those
coming by way of the arm of Nef
Boone has already tabbed Cor¬
tez to be his starter. And Cortez
Is ready to take the, challenge.
•We will pass more," the junior
college transfer said.
In the Bulldogs' four games
this year, they have attempted
79 passes, connecting on 34 ot
them for 454 yards. Cortez has
more than half of those yards,
with   286   gained   by   his arm.
If the Bulldogs are to win this
Ssturday's game they will have to
pass, In order to pass they will
need protection from their front
line. Quarterback losses total
more than 180 yards so far this
season.
Aggie coach Bradley looks for-
, ward to meeting the passing Bull¬
dogs. "They are a passing team,
so they will be a lot different on
offense than Texas (Aggies' last
foe). It will help us later In the
season to play a passing team now
and Fresno will challenge us,*
Bradley said.
Game time will be 6:30 p.m.
(P.S.T.). The gamewlllbebroad¬
cast locally over KMJ radio (58
