Ailment plagues Card's ace

By DONALD BERNS ST. LOUIS (UPI)-Bob Gibson is composed mostly of head and heart. But he also has an elbow, an elbow that now, in his finest season, is sufferng from arthri. tis. “It aches all the time,” Gibson said. ‘‘It hurts in three places, and the pain never goes away.” The St. Louis Cardinals are not yet near the time when they will have to do without their stopper, but the thought of arthritis in Gibson's strong right arm is enough to give shivers to

Cardinal fans and club officials. The same type of arthritis forced the premature retirement of the great Sandy Koufax. Gibson’s arm was in pain Wednesday when he broke one of Koufax’s records in the Cardinals’ 4-0 win over the Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series. Gibson struck out 17 Tigers to break the record of 15 strikeouts by Koufax in one World Series game. Until now Gibson, who shrugs off records, has shrugged off the pains in his arm. He’s

mentioned it before, but until now he’s always added the pain “goes away.” It’s new for him to admit that it “never goes away.” An Incidental The fact that the 32-year.old righthander mentioned it at all is a big significant, for ordinarily he ignores everything except the job at hand an incidental. Just as he ignored the pain Wednesday, he ignored the recores he was setting, tying, and menacing. What he did, while he was concentrating on his pitching

Riots in Mexico City may stop Olympic Games

By MIKE HUGHES MEXICO CITY (UPI)—The 1968 Olympic Games, scheduled to begin next week were placed in jeopardy again today as new student riots continued to rock the host city. Although Olympic rules do not specify anything about civil disorders preceding the games, one high ranking International Olympic Committee official said: “One would be right to assume the games are in jeopardy of being canceled.” At least nine persons were killed and 10 wounded Wednesday night as Mexican army troops opened fire with machineguns on 10,000 marching students in a bloody battle that covered 20 city blocks. Visitors to the Olympic city

quote a rule which said the games would be canceled if there were civil disorder 40 days before the games. IOC sources, while not wanting to get involved in local politics, pointed out the organizing committee has a duty to guarantee the safety of visiting athletes and officials. The nine man IOC Executive Committee is currently in session. It is quite possible they’ll recommend the cancellation of the games to the full congress which meets Oct. 7, just one week before the games open. IOC President Avery Brundage of Chicago, 111., was unavailable for comment. With about half of the 8,000 athletes expected already in-

stalled in the Olympic Village, not to mention several hundred foreign newsmen, officials obviously will be reluctant to call off the games, but they may be forced to do so. The organizing committee has spent $150 million in preparing for the games. They expect to recoup no more than $50 million, so the games really are a prestige show for Mexico and Latin America. It is the first time the games have been held in a Latin American country. The riots first started July 26, the anniversary of the Cuban Castro revolution, but at no time have the students ventured near the Olympic installations. Athletes in the village have traveled to their training areas without experiencing any difficulty.

chore, was to pitch a five-hitter, strike out 17 batters to break Koufax’ record, win his sixth straight complete series game for another record, tie a record with his sixth straight win, and just miss another when he struck out five straight batters, one short of the mark. When Gibson came to the plate in the seventh, he already had 13 strikeouts, and the giant message board over the rightfield bleachers in Busch Stadium noted the achievement and noted Koufax’ record. The information was on the -board the whole time that Gibson was at the plate, and fans began to buzz. But Gibby says he didn’t look at the board and claims he was completely unaware of the record.

14 strikeouts and after allowing a leadoff single by Mickey Stanley he struck out A1 Kaline to tie the record. The message board flashed again, and the fans squealed as they gave Gibson a standing ovation. “I didn’t know what was going on,” Gibson said. “I was ready to pitch to the next

man.”

Gibson struck out Norm Cash, and the fans rose again to applaud the new record. Gibson gave no response. He struck out Willie Horton to end the game in a Cardinal victory, thereby probably setting another record for most standing ovations in one inning—three. “It’s nice to have a record,” Gibson said, “but I’m not concerned about it.” Valpo hosts Tiger 11 Valparaiso University’s football team will finally make a home appearance next Saturday October 5th after a pair of games on foreign soil. In the friendly confines of Brown Field the Crusaders and the DePauw University Tigers will open both the 1968 home schedule and the Indiana Collegiate Conference

action.

Valpo and DePauw will be playing a rubber game as this will be the 18th meeting between the football teams representing the two schools. The won, lost and tied recordisexactly even. There have been eight victories on each side and one tie in the series which began in 1920. DePauw has won the last two games 19-8 last year and 3015 in 1966. However, the Crusad. ers won each of the two preceeding years, 29-21 and 21-14. There have been two shutouts in the series. DePauw won 410 in 1921 and the Crusaders applied the whitewash 37-0 in 1958. The 50 points scored by Valparaiso in 1954 are the most ever scored in the series. Fortyone points is the Tiger high mark. They got two 41 point totals the second came in 1963, 41-7. Saturday has been designated as Band, Scout and Youth Day at Brown Field. Nearly five hundred band members, one thousand high school students and fifteen hundred scouts and parents will attend the opening ICC game. The Crusaders will be trying to gain the edge in the series and make coach Amundsen’s first Indiana Collegiate Conference contest a victory.
