The Cardinals (15-3- ), who beat the Utes in Palo Alto in early April, won by the same score Monday to lead a parade of four Pacific-- 8 Conference schools into Tuesdays quarterfinals. But the score was the only thing lopsided about this match. of There were five three-setterwhich Stanford won four.

I feel we had a chance to win it. Most of the people here think Stanfords going to win the whole thing. It still has not been decided whether there will be a consolation round for first round losers, something the coaches would like to hold on their own if they get court space. If the Utes do play a consolation round, they would go a 3 loser to against Georgia (24-5-), California (23-7- ) Monday. Greenbergs victory over a top player like Maze proves that the Utah junior will be a force to reckon with in the NCAA singles later this week. And Kent Crawford, Utahs No. 1 and the only other Ute entered in the singles, nearly joined Greenberg in the upset circle. Matt Mitchell Crawford had on the ropes before losing Greenberg, who had saved a pair of match points in the tenth game, won the tiebreaker 54 in the third set to secure his big upset. Greenberg was up two breaks in the third set, only to see Maze rip off four straight games to leave Greenberg With the system serving at being used at the NCAAs, Greenberg was down staring at two Maze match points. 6-- top-seed- 6, Utes, Dons, Spartans Win in 4-- 3-- A 6--4, 6--4. no-ad- d 2-- Special to The Tribune PROVO Spanish Fork remained state baseball unbeaten in the Class tournament with a 1 triumph over Davis Monday at Brigham Young University.

Murray, whose only loss in the tourney was a 4 squeaker to Davis, staved off elimination with a miracle finish against Jordan. The Beetdiggers lead after two innings, ran off to a but Murray fought back with four-ru- n rallies in the fifth and sixth to account for its comeback win. Uintah, which has lost only to Spanish Fork so far in this event, scored three runs in the top of the fifth and held on to nip Payson. The Utes got only two hits in the game but took advantage of four Payson errors. 3-- A 4-- 3-- A 3-- 4-- a couple of good serves to get back in it, explained Greenberg, a psychology major. Then in the tiebreaker it was 3 and 1 had the last three serves. I served a good point but then doublefaulted, so it was match point for both of us. 1 had noticed that he had been hitting his backhand return really well and had been missing his forehand. So, using my psychology, I served to his backhand and he hit it into the net. Crawford was leading the Mitchell when Mitchell held up the match to demand linesmen. I hit top-seed- 6-- 3, 2-- 0, 9-- 3-- A 5-- 5--0 , He hit a shot that I called out and he thought it was in, said Crawford of the incident. He wanted linesmen, and it took about 45 minutes before we started playing again I was really hot, and that rest cooled me off.

Thad Bosley, Tom Donohue and Butch Alberts collected three hits apiece for the Gulls, with Alberts crashing his fifth and sixth home runs of the season. Tribune Sports Writer No one is quite certain where MURRAY Cottonwoods Dave Smart acquired his right arm, but it certainly wasnt at a clearance sale. It was Smarts arm which helped provide 2 g Cottonwood with a victory over Region Three rival South Monday at Ken Price Park. It was a triumph which elevated the Colts into an state ideal position to annex their first Class baseball championship after placing second three of the last four years. There was a time when Smart was largely considered a mystery man. His name is missing state program. But his right arm is from the known only too well and is becoming a conversation piece after Smart scattered six hits and struck out 11 to record his second state triumph in as many starts. Colts Take Lead Smart coasted through the first five innings and so did Cottonwood. The Colts struck for single runs in the first, second and fifth innings to assume a 0 advantage. Nothing could dent Smarts armor, no one could touch his crisp curveball. Smart yielded only two hits and retired nine straight at one juncture during the initial five innings. And the Cottonwood bats also came to life early. Brian Williams got the Colts moving in the first innings with an infield single, stole second, and scored when Jim Budd laced a single to center. Cottonwood added another singleton in the second when Rex Hamblin doubled and sprinted home on Larry Mitchells rightfield single. Cottonwood treated South starter Dave Tidwell harshly while hammering eight hits in the first three innings. Byt Tidwell continually abbrevbiated the Colts rallies and held the opposition to only three one-ru- n outbursts when matters could have been much worse. k Mike Houtz and Guy Mendenhall belted singles to begin the Cottonwood fifth inning, and Houtz scvampered home on a South error to provide the Colts with what proved to be the winning run. South finally came to life by scoring single runs in the sixth and seventh innings. With two out in the sixth, Tidwell walked and hustled home on Chris Nielsens double up the right centerfield alley to narrow the deficit to Todd Childs lined a ground rule double to left centerfield with two out in the seventh to initiate another Cub rally. For a moment, Childs was awarded a home run with a bit of confusion surrounding the hit. Finally, the umpires ruled it had hopped over the wall and Childs moved to third on a balk and scored on Joel Gardners leftfield single. With Gardner representing the tying run at first. Smart doused the rally with his third strikeout of the inning and left Cottonwood as the only unbeaten team in the tournament. Ogden, Roy Win Introductions were unnecessary throughout Mondays third round, with region rivals renewing acquaintances on each occasion. And, with each facing the prospect of elimination, matters were especially spirited, as Ogden outslug-ge- d Clearfield, 12 7, and Roy kept its championship hopes alive by subduing Bonneville, Ogden watched in horror, as Clearfields Joey homer and Joe Garcia Olsen lashed a two-rufollowed wfth a solo round tripper to stake the first inning advantage.

The Gulls batted around twice in the game, scoring six runs in the third lead and icing it with inning to take a four more in the fifth. Dick Lange, who had not pitched in two weeks because of a sore shoulder, went five innings and received credit for his fifth win in six decisions. Lange was limited to 70 pitches and he just made it through five. He left the contest with an lead, but the Gulls scored four more in the bottom of the fifth to tllke the pressure off 8-- 5 3-- nerve-janglin- four. 3 The Gulls now head west for scries with San Jose starting Tuesday night and Hawaii beginning Sunday.

Ogden Cuts Deficit After trimming the deficit to 2 with two runs in the third inning, Ogden paraded 10 men to the plate in fourth and eight in the fifth while scoring 10 runs to take the fight out of Clearfield and eliminate the tournament. Falcons from the Mike Birch began the Tigers fourth with a walk, but was forced at second by Mike Lubereski. Jim Williams then singled and Marty Lee walked to load the bases.
