this “Never-Neve- r Land” could not express his feelings “I can’t muster the right words to describe how I feel” he said “We’re world champions and I’ve barely had two sips of champagne I just feel so good there’s no batting practice tomorrow” Schmidt who led the major leagues with 48 home runs during the season leant his bat to this fairy tale with decisiveness His two-rusingle in the third inning

regular season was pressure There was fatigue it all and World Somehow championship playoffs Series made Mike Schmidt exhale loudly before the next sip of champagne “I just feel so good that we don’t have a baseball game tomorrow” the Philadelphia Phillies third baseman said wearily Schmidt felt good for plenty of other reasons in the wild celebration scene Tuesday night His two-rusingle in the third inning provided the spark in the Phillies’ victory over the Kansas City Royals which gave the Phils’ their r series championship In addition Schmidt was named Most Valuable Player of the annual fall classic While admitting the award and series title left him in a “coma” there was nothing comatose about Schmidt’s performance He batted 381 for the six games and led his team in RBIs (7) runs scored (6) and homers (2) He was a big part of all the Phillies Series victories He scored two runs in Game 1 keyed a four-ru- n n 4-- 1 first-eve- eighth with an RBI double in Game 2 and hit a two-ru- n homer and singled to set up the winning rally in Game 5 Schmidt who led the majors with 48 home runs and drove in 121 runs during the regular season preferred to look at the World Series overall rather than comment specifically on his own showing KEY SITUATIONS ‘‘You can’t see any better baseball than this” he said “We were coming from behind in key situations They (the Royals) had

warmups I still felt this year “Dallas took over last year and laid out his program — Phillies baseball That meant team character and unity If you wanted to play here you had to play Phillies baseball “There were mixed feelings key to the victory out in the eighth got one out yielded a walk to load the bases and gave up a sacrifice fly to UL Washington But then he got Hal McRae to bounce out to second ending the inning In the ninth a walk and two “I’m grateful for that play” McGraw said “It meant that many less pitches I had to throw I took it as a positive thing an uplifting thing” McGraw was full of praise for ex-pitch- er best manager I ever played for before this for handling a pitching staff was Gil Hodges with the Mets and I think Dallas did as good a job when he got the job Some guys fought him and refused to accept but then after a few months we began to accept We began to see it was the way we could win and we stopped fighting back” Despite the fact that it was Green’s first full managerial season McGraw said he appeared to be a wizard in some instances “He was an inexperienced manager when he got the job” McGraw said “Where he got the informa- - Fills the Bill as

will have his hands full Saturday night in Boise when the Broncos’ “Four Horsemen” mount up and come charging right at him and his Wildcat teammates in a crucial Big Sky contest that tackle-to-tackl- 6-- 1 title r old Fullington a from West Seattle Wash had one solo tackle assisted on 13 more and blocked a PAT attempt in WSC’s 32-- 7 loss to Northern Arizona last Saturday in 20-ye- ar two-yea-

Fullington has 11 solo tackles including one for an eight-yarloss 46 assists forced two fumbles recovered a pair of fumbles and deflected two passes In speaking about the lopsided loss to NAU John said “We started out emotionally flat and played without emotion They really came to play and we acted like we were going to work on four-gam- k A d Monday knowing we had a lot of work to do and just didn’t get it done Usually our defense will create turnovers and we’ve capitalized on people’s mistakes all season but they capitalized on ours They got off the ball beat us to the attack and their

game for the league championship” Fullington who is affectionately called “Double-Chin- ” because “of a little extra hanging down there” is kinda’ the “forgotten man” in the Wildcats’ talented linebacker corps playing the middle with Mike Humiston and Danny Rich holding down the flanks “It’s really nice to know they’re there They force the ball back to the middle to let me get the tackles” Fullington doesn’t mind that his counterparts get more of the “ink” than he does “You always like to get the publicity but it’s great being on the defense with standouts like Humiston Teams have tried to run at Humiston and tried to run at Rich without much success” The “Four Horsemen” of Boise State — quarterback Joe Aliotti taibacks Cedric Minter and Terry Zahner and fullback David Hughes — will present the ’Cats with a multitude of problems “Minter and Zahner are probably the best two halfbacks in the Big Sky and Hughes is a good fullback On defense we have to move laterally along the line and don’t try to make the spectacular tackle We have to contain Aliotti too Coach (Bill) Bryant said Aliotti has the ability to take a broken play and turn it into a 20 or gain We know we have to stop that from happening” added Fullington 30-ya- rd John saw quite a bit of action on the special teams as a freshman and a rash of injuries to the offensive line during his sophomore year resulted in him being switched over to playing guard “It was totally different and a lot more complicated with a lot of different fronts and signals Defense is more aggressive you have a chance to hit people and there’s not too many restrictions” Fullington says the biggest change in the team this year is the way coach (Pete) Riehlman is relating to the players “He was real high on discipline but now he relates a lot better with the players We’re getting more praise and the positive reinforcement from when coaches They’re hard-nose- d they have to be but they praise us when they need to” Fullington is acting as a tudor for his younger brother Mark a sophomore outside linebacker “I thought it would be fun to have my brother on the team We played next to each other in high school and I just like to help him He’ll come into his own next year and he’s got a good chance to fill Humiston’s spot but he’ll have to beat out some people He’s quite capable to be playing and he just needs to get confidence” You can find people to play along the defensive line — strong dedicated crazy people — but you have to have players to cover up for them that’s why linebackers were invented r Ul a !
