Wilcox symbolized the Tigers' efficiency, allowing just a fourth-inning single to George Brett and an eight-inning single to Don Slaught. Wilcox who did not complete any of his 33 starts this year, got a second-inning run on an RBI-forceout by Marty Castillo and made it stand up, walking two and striking out eight in eight innings.

Saigon is bracing for a new on slaught by Communist troops, fearing that this time it may be even more pro longed and vicious than either the Tet or early May offensives. High-level defectors have said that a major Communist drive is in the making, and last week's relative silence on the battleground around the capital ominously underscored the point.
