Winner Take All. But by the middle of the fifth game, the Tigers looked like sure losers. Portly Mickey Lolich, their only Series winner, was laboring on the short end of a 3-2 score; he seemed ready to take the long walk to the showers when he got an unexpected reprieve from the Cards' Lou Brock, justly famed as the National League's most expert baserunner.

Crimson stars Ahmed Yehia, Solomon Gomez, and Peter Bogovich missed many opportunities to score. Now the Crimson must top Cornell to remain in title contention. The Lions must beat Yale this weekend or settle for second division in the league...
