Padres may not use DH SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Diego Padres are so thin at the designated hitter position that Manager Dick Williams is contemplating letting at least one of his pitchers bat for himself. Heading into this evening’s first game of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers, Williams was still trying to make up his mind about who he would use as the DH, a decision he hasn’t had to make since 1976 the last time he managed in the American League. It would have been regarded as a weak point anyway, since his choices are not plentiful, but Williams’ woes were compounded over the weekend by the loss of power-hitting center fielder Kevin Mcßeynolds. In the resulting confusion, Williams indicated Monday he may let lefthander Tim Lollar bat for himself later this week. Lollar is scheduled to pitch Game 3 in Detroit.

New Albany coming up in football world

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) New Albany’s unbeaten Bulldogs, upset winners over perennial southern Indiana power Castle and off to the school’s best start in 30 years, were voted to the No.ll position today in The Associated Press Class AAAA football poll. New Albany, 7-0 after the 22-20 victory over Castle, was the highest rated team among three newcomers to this week’s AAAA rankings. The others were Shelbyville, also 7-0 and picked 14th, and Carmel, 5-2 and voted 15th after a victory over Lafayette Jeff. The loss dropped Jeff’s Bronchos out of the rankings from the No.ll spot. Also falling out of the poll with their second losses of the season were Indianapolis North Central, beaten by Warren Central, and Kokomo, which lost to Richmond. For the second straight week, Warren Central remained N 0.2 behind defending AAAA playoff champion Penn. AP’s statewide board of sports writers and broadcasters made Penn the overwhelming choice for No.l, giving the Kingsmen 12 of 15 first-place votes and 294 of a possible 300 rating points. Warren Central had the other three votes for No.l and a distant 265 rating points. Hobart, whose regular-season winning streak now stands at 46 straight games, remained N 0.3 with 236 points, and Elkhart Central, which lost the top spot to Penn last week, remained fourth with 198 points. Castle’s loss to New Albany dropped the Knights three places to eighth, while Fort Wayne North, Fort Wayne Snider and Crown Point all climbed one spot to fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively. Indianapolis Perry Meridian rose three spots to ninth, and Martinsville jumped four spots to 10th. Following New Albany in the No.ll spot are Michigan City Elston, down two spots to 12th after losing to Elkhart Central, and Columbus East, up two places to 13th. The top four spots in Class AAA and the top three places in Class AA were unchanged from last week. In the AAA poll, South Bend St. Joseph’s had 11 of 16 first-place votes and 302 of a possible 320 rating points. Indianapolis Roncalli remained second with three firstplace votes and 292 points, and Brown-

Padres and Tigers to open World Series

SAN DlEGO (AP) both of contrasts tradition vs. expansion and common threads binding the San Diego Padres and Detroit Tigers. And it wasn’t even supposed to start here. Chicago was all charged up for its first World Series in 25 years, perhaps the Cubs’ first world championship in 76. But in a most improbable of comebacks, the Padres, only 15 years old, won the final three games in the National League’s best-of-five playoffs and now find themselves hosting tonight’s opening game of their first World Series. In Chicago, where waiting for next year has become a family tradition, handed down from generation to generation, a psychiatrist and Cubs fan, Helene Starr, was quoted as saying of the Padres: “I don’t want you to think I’m bitter, but let me say this ... I hope the Tigers squash them, eat chem up and spit them out. I hate the Padres! I hate the name Padres! Their colors stink, too! ” Their colors are those of autumn, brown and gold, but in Southern California, autumn is only a word, not a season. It is forever sunny, warm and green. Not a bit

sburg had the remaining two votes for No.l and 256 points. Tell City remained N 0.4 with 216 points. Elsewhere, Boonville rose one spot to fifth, Fort Wayne Dwenger advanced two rankings to sixth, Plainfield fell two places to seventh after losing to Brownsburg, newcomer Concord was picked eighth, Mooresville remained N 0.9.

like Detroit, the very essence of fall cool, crisp and rich in World Series tradition. Eight times previously, the Tigers have participated in this fall classic, winning three of them, most recently in 1968. The names, too, ring of tradition Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, Mickey Cochrane, Hank Greenberg, A 1 Kaline... And in San Diego, major league baseball tradition is, well, nonexistent. In fact, for a while a decade ago, major league baseball here almost was nonexistent. C. Amholt Smith, then the owner of the Padres, was

The DePauw University soccer team increased their conference record to 3-2 this weekend as they captured two victories on the road. Coach Page Cotton’s team stands with a record of 5-3-1 on the season with a record of 5-3-1 on the season. The Tigers playing away from home for the first time this season defeated a tough Principia team, 2-0, in overtime Friday. “The first 20 minutes of the game I believe we played as well as we have played all season. We were just not able to score,” Cotton stated. Regulation time expired with both teams locked in a scoreless tie. FRESHMAN BRIAN JAWORSKI got the Tigers on the board first when he scored with only one minute and 13 seconds into overtime on an assist from Brian Gourley. DePauw continued to play good defense as they did allow Principia to score. Freshman Jim Hand put an insurance point on the board as he scored on an outstanding 30-yard shot with nine minutes left in the first overtime. David Bagley was credited with the assist. The shutout was sophomore goalie Brad Hauter’s fourth of the season. “Our defense seems to be coming of age and maturing,” Cotton added. On Saturday the Tigers traveled to Greenville University where they posted a 3-0 victory. With only seven minutes played DePauw senior standout Jim Miliotes scored to give the Tigers an early lead. Five minutes later DePauw scored as freshman Jim Hand converted a direct free kick. The Tigers led 2-0 at intermission. MILIOTES SCORED HIS second goal of the day in the second half as the Tigers once again did not allow a goal. Mark Burgess played the last ten minutes of the game to combine with Hauter for the shutout. “We played very consistent in both games, and we avoided the peaks and valleys that we had up to this weekend,” Cotton said. “I was very pleased with our play. We received two good games from sophomore David Holub. ” The Tigers will travel to Marion College on Saturday before playing host to Southwestern of Memphis Oct. 15. THE DePAUW WOMEN’S tennis team also hit the road this weekend and returned home with a sweep. Coach Pat Gammon’s squad played at Northern Kentucky on Friday and recorded an easy 8-1 triumph over their NCAA Division II opponents.

on the verge of selling the franchise, which was to be moved to Washington, D.C. Instead, he sold it to the late Ray Kroc, the hamburger king, founder of McDonald’s, a pioneer in fast-food franchising. This, incidentally, is being called the fast-food series matching McDonald’s against Domino’s Pizza, a nationwide chain owned by Tom Monaghan, who bought the Tigers after the 1983 season. Kroc, who in his early years as the team’s owner was perhaps best known for grabbing a stadium microphone,

Two time All-American Sue Hohlfelder started out strong but was slowed by illness. Holfelder overcame her set back and battled for a 6-0, 7-5 victory. She did not play later in the afternoon in her doubles match. DePauw’s Mary Mockovak, Cathy Walsh, Colleen Ryan and Dana Drew all won their singles matches in straight sets. Ryan replaced Holfelder and teamed up with Mockovak for the number one doubles team. The tandem playing together for the first time came away with 5-7,6-4,6-2 win. “OUR DOUBLES TEAMS really had to work for their victories, and it took us longer to play our doubles and singles, an unusual occurance,” Gammon contented. “Colleen Ryan and Mary Mockovak had not played together before, and it took a little while for them to get adjusted. But once they got started, they did very well.” On Saturday the Tigers were hosted by Division I University of Cincinnati. The two schools entered doubles play tied three games apiece. DePauw won the match 6-3 as they captured all three doubles matches. “We had to win in doubles, and the girls came out and played spirited, aggressive games,” Gammon said. COACH BARB FEDERMAN’S volleyball team participated in the fourteam Anderson Tournament this past weekend. The Tigers were defeated by Thomas Moore University 5-11, 5-11; George Williams 1-15, 7-15; and ISUEvansville 8-15,9-15. “We played well for the most part,” Federman stated, “but we just can’t seem do get over the hurdle to make us win. On Saturday we made errors at crucial points and just didn’t seem to be in the right place at the right time.” The squad will play in the Millikin Tournament Oct. 12-13. Their last home appearance will be Oct. 23 as they host Anderson and Vincennes. The DePauw women’s field hockey team was defeated by Hanover College 3-2 in triple overtime but not before putting up a battle. The Tigers took the lead when Kim Edgar scored 17 minutes into the game. Hanover scored twice in the second half to take a 2-1 lead. The Tigers were not to be denied as they tied the Panthers of Hanover to send the game into overtime. “I thought we played very well, especially in the first half, but we just didn’t keep playing aggressive,” DePauw coach Judy George said. The Tigers will host Wittenberg Oct. 9.

apologizing to the fans for the club’s performance and berating his players, went about the business the past few years of finding the right parts to the puzzle. The pivotal one was Dick Williams, a manager with winning credentials in Boston, Oakland and Montreal. And Jack McKeon, vice president for baseball operations, went about spending Kroc’s money for the rest of the pieces, among them: First baseman Steve Garvey, for years the All-American boy up the coast with the Los Angeles Dodgers who led the team with 86 runs batted in. He was the Padres’ Most Valuable Player in the NL Championship Series against the Cubs, who nearly outbid San Diego for his services in the free-agent market before the 1983 season. Third baseman Graig Nettles, the still-slick fielder with the occasional lightning in his bat (seven home runs in six consecutive games in August) was acquired in trade from the New York Yankees.

He directed the Cincinnati Reds, the Big Red Machine, to world championships in 1975 and 19768 qhen was stunned by his dismissal after the 1978 season. He was hired by the Tigers midway in 1979. Like Williams, Anderson also shopped around to pick up the few missing cogs for his new machine, among them: Relief pitcher Willie Hernandez, obtained from Philadelphia, last year’s NL champs. Third baseman Darrell Evans, the San Francisco Giants’ MVP in 1983. Centerfielder Chet Lemon, acquired from the Chicago White Sox.
