Jays romp into Series,
Atlanta shocks Pirates
Toronto shakes
history, brings
Series to Canada
TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto
Blue Jays finally learned how to win
in October and took the World Series
out of the United Stales for the first
time by beating the Oakland Athletics
9-2 Wednesday to win the AL play
offs.
“It’s an American sport, but a Ca
nadian team, one of the best,” Dave
Winfield said.
Juan Guzman did what Jack Morris
and David Cone could not do, win on
three days’ rest, to wrap up Game 6.
Joe Carter and Candy Maldonado
made Guzman’s second victory of the
series easier with home runs that
helped put Toronto ahead 6-0 after
three innings.
“There was no pressure on us,”
Carter said. “Arc you kidding? There
was a ton of pressure on us. We were
always going to hear about our past
until we reached the next level, which
we have.”
The Blue Jays played their first
game as an expansion team on April
7, 1977.
Roberto Alomar, who turned things
around with a game-lying homer off
Dennis Eckcrslcy in Game 4—one of
the Blue Jays’ playoff-record 10 —
capped off the scries with an RBI
single in the eighth inning and was
named MVP. He was 11 for 26 in the
series, tying the record for hits in an
AL playoff, made no errors at second
base and stole five bases.
‘‘I think that game we won against
Eckersley was the game that we con
sider why we are here now,” Alomar
said.
Toronto’s triumph also meant an
other first for baseball —Cito Gaston
has become the first black manager in
the World Scries._
Ninth-inning rally
gives Braves win
ATLANTA (AP) — The Braves,
in a thrilling ninth-inning comeback,
beat the Pirates 3-2 Wednesday night
to reach the World Scries for the
second straight year. The stunning
loss gave Pittsburgh its third straight
postseason failure.
Terry Pendleton doubled to right
field lo start the ninth. Doug Drabek,
pitching on three days’ rest for only
the second time in four years, was
wearing down and so was the Pirates’
defense.
David Justice hit a routine
grounder, but second baseman Jose
Lind booted the ball and two w'crc on.
Sid Bream walked before Ron Gant
almost won it with a drive to left that
Barry Bonds caught two feel in front
of the wall, scoring Pendleton and
making it 2-1.
Then Damon Berry hill walked and
the bases were loaded again. The Pi
rales were an out away when pinch
hitter Brian Hunter popped out and
Braves manager Bobby Cox, his bench
almost exhausted, sent up Francisco
Cabrera.
Cabrera lined a shot between third
and short to score Justice and Bream
who barely beat Bonds’ desperation
throw to the plate that was well off
line.
Funds may keep games near home
By Nick Hytrek
Senior Reporter _
In an effort to save money, some
football programs may try to stay
closer to home in the future.
Travel expenses can be a big part
of a program’s budget. Playing games
against regional teams could help re
duce those costs, but it isn’t as simple
as that, said Gary Fourakcr, Nebraska
assistant athletic director for business
relations.
“It’s quite a bit cheaper because of
the distance, but you still have to
charter a plane,” Fourakcr said.
But at the same time, road games
don’t mean an automatic loss of
money, Fourakcr said. Washington
was a good example, he said.
“First of all, with Washington, their
stadium was big enough to get a 50-50
share of ticket sales,” he said.
Fourakcr said Nebraska received a
guarantee of about $400,(XX) from
ticket sales. An additional $150,000
was earned because the game was
televised.
Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne said he would play anyone
who agreed to play the Cornhuskers.
“It doesn’t make much difference
to me. My charge is to try to win
games,” Osborne said. “If it Saves
money to play closer to home, then
that’s fine with me.”
Oklahoma assistant athletic direc
tor John Underwood said scheduling
regional teams wasn’t necessarily the
solution for budget problems.
“To say we’re slaying in this area
for budget reasons is not accurate,” he
said.
Underwood said to gel a lop sched
ule, a team sometimes had to leave its
region.
“We want to try to have as attrac
tive home and away schedule as pos
sible,” he said. “I think the attractive
teams arc games people arc willing to
pay to see.”
Underwood also added that Okla
homa faces a unique situation in that
it plays Texas every year in Dallas.
That takes away one possible home
date and means the Sooners must
schedule at least one lop team, re
gardless of location; to draw fans, he
said. In situations such as that, lop
teams usually demand a homc-and
homc series, he said.
While Underwood said Oklahoma
would not be pursuing an exclusive
regional schedule, Fourakcr said Ne
braska was making efforts to schedule
more opponents closer to Lincoln.
Schools in the Big 10 are possibilities,
he said, but it’s hard to schedule them
because Penn Slate recently joined
the conference.
~ Fourakcr said he thought other Big
10 teams wanted to wait until their
schedules were rearranged before
scheduling non-conference games.
“We’ve been trying to work more
with Big 10 schools like Illinois and
Indiana,” he said. “I don’t think they
wanted to jump into anything with
Penn Slate joining.”
And, Osborne said, in order to play
Big 10 teams, those teams must be
willing to play Nebraska.
“We’ve talked to a lot of Big 10
schools," he said. “We’ve had some
that have said they wouldn’t play us
and have actually tried to gel out of
existing contracts.”

Huskers making progress
in practice, Osborne says
By Jeff Griesch
Staff Reporter _
The Nebraska football team con
tinued to practice with contact on
Wednesday, and coach Tom Osborne
said he was pleased with the progress
his team is making.
“We had a pretty good practice
today,” Osborne said. “They worked
hard and we had no serious injuries.”
Freshman quarterback Tony
Vcland continues to recover from a
broken collarbone and will beXrayed
on Friday 10 dclcmiinc whether he
can participate in Friday’s scrimmage.
“If the X-rays go well, he could
take 10 to 12 snaps,” Osborne said.
Senior free safety Tyrone Byrd is
still nursing a pulled hamstring but
should be at full strength for the Mis
souri game on Oct. 24.
“He (Byrd) is going pretty much at
full speed,” Osborne said. “He will be
ready for the Missouri game.”
Big Eight
Continued from Page 13
Kansas cl imbed back into the polls
this week with a No. 25 ranking after
beating Kansas Stale 31-7.
“Kansas lost to a real gtxxl Califor
nia team,” Walden said. “They’re lead
ing damn near every defensive cat
egory in the United States.
“They’re only the 25th best team
in the nation? Give me a break,” he
said.
McCartney said conference teams
got the respect they deserved.
“I think (Colorado) gets the re
spect,” he said. “Pe&plc across the
country respect Oklahoma and Ne
braska because of the longevity of
their programs.”
“You really can’t mention Colo
rado in the same breath as Nebraska
because we haven’t done it over an
extended period of lime.”
Sheridan agreed the Big Eight may
be lacking national exposure because
of some of the poorer teams at the
bottom. But he said that Nebraska,
Colorado and Oklahoma receive
enough respect nationally.
“Nebraska is still a strong team,”
Sheridan added. “I think their de
fense is lough and I predict they’ll win
the Big Eight by beating Colorado at
Lincoln.
‘It’s just that teams in a funning
offense — like the Nebraskas, the
Colorados, and Kansascs — need to
throw the football with more success
if they want to win a national champi
onship.”
