Certainly those thoughts had to cross Tom Iludspeth's mind Olen the latter moved south to be with Bobby from Tom's BYU post. Tom's likely renting. but not buying, There was Western Conference talk that Arizona team against Air Force greenies on Friday, reeling off years. Most of that rumor ran the realm after Arizona State played it big in the Fiesta Bowl last year and when it ranked so highly before the Wyoming upsetter. That talks tempered a bit lately, since Wyoming blew out the Sun Devil Hanle, when Utah almost came a cropper with ASU and BYU held them to a 0 17-2- Watch Out For Gillenwater Toward the end of the BYU game with ASU at Provo Coach La Vell Edwards sent in a freshie fleet-bacnamed Gill Gillenwater, a lad from Phoenix. k He had played nearly a full game with the frosh team against Air Force greenines on Friday, reeling off 1S9 yards. Then Edwards called him in for some in desperate moments and the lad legged it for line to 95 yards in four playes, fumbling on the lose the .ball. pinch-runnin- g That 95 yards was more than one third the distance done all day Saturday by the entire BIT ground force.

CINCINNATI (UPI) Baseball, they claim, is a game of inches, and nobody ever proved it any better than that mild laughing little man with the blond moustache, the World Series man of the hour, Oakland's Gene Tenace. Ninety days ago, the name meant little, even to baseball people. Right now, though, it's the most celebrated name in the game, the one on everybody's lips, and one which goes into book indelibly the record alongside Babe Ruth's and Lou Gehrig's. Tenace managed that by rocketing four homers for the A's in the first five games of the Series. Shifted from behind the plate to first base for Sunday's finale by manager Dick Williams "because he's been going good," the stocky Lucasville, Ohio, came up with a single in the first inning and a clutch double which drove in another run in the sixth. hits in 23 trips, Ten-acbatted a cool .347 for the Series, and if you ask the Reds how they could ever let an actual part-tim- e player like With 8 e Gene Tenace j)eat them, they say rather Unhappily it was a matter of a couple of inches. "That's all it really was, a couple of inches," insisted Sparky Anderson, manager of the beaten Reds. "I'd never blame our scouting reports on what he did to us. We were told to get the ball in on him. And that's what we tried to do, except we didn't get it in deep enough." So. Tenace wound up winning the new car annually given to the MVP in the Series. "He didn't hurt us, he wiped us out," muttered one of the depressed Reds' outfielders. "Before the Series started. they told, us (Mike) Epstein was the only guy who could really hurt us with the long ball. Him and maybe (Sal) Banda Nobody ever said We Tenace. about much should've never let him do what Ike did to us. Heck, how many homers did he hit all year for them, five?" Gene Tenace? Who's he?
