DETROIT FREE PRESS Saturday, Oct. 8, 1 IPS FORD VS. MIZELL IN THE THIRD GAME Yes, the Pirates WILL Show Up Ford Mlrll 4 BY LYALL SMITH Fri Pr Sports Editor NEW YORK It now is official. The Pittsburgh Pirates definitely will show up in Yankee Stadium Saturday-afternoon to continue the wildest, most free-swinging World Series since Gen. Abner Doubleday was just an enlisted man.

Despite snide remarks by wise guys that the shell-shocked National League champs might be wise to call the whole thing off after the way the aroused Yankees bombed them in Pittsburgh, the Bucs will show. MANAGER Danny Mur-taugh put it this way: "So we lost, 16-3. Last time I looked we still were tied with the Yanks at one win apiece. "And another thing Seems to me that the White Sox bombed the Dodgers in the first game last year, 11-0, and still lost the Series. "Don't worry about my guys.

They'll be there and ready to go," Murtaugh added. Pitching for them will be a lanky lefthander named Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell. He fashioned a 14-8 record for the Pirates, who acquired him from St. Louis. Pitching against them will be a stocky lefthander named Edward (Whitey) Ford, who not only won 12 games for the Yankees this season but has started exactly that many times in World Series competition for an all-time record.

BOTH TEAMS worked out here Friday in cavernous Yankee Stadium, home base for the Bronx Bombers and alien territory for all but a trifling few of the Pirates. Oddsmakers favor the Yankees in heavy style now that the next three battles will be run off in a spot where tricky shadows and wind currents can be costly to the uninitiated. There are other reasons why the American Leaguers are strong choices to hand manager Casey Stengel his eighth Series championship in his 10 pennant-winning seasons since 1949. Regardless of Murtaugh 's statements, the Pirates simply have to be impressed with the way Yankee bats boomed in Pittsburgh. They collected 32 hits in splitting the first two games.

Four of them were home runs, one was a tremendous triple, and three were doubles. The first 13. including two homers, came off Vernon Law, Pittsburgh's best starter, and Elroy Face, their No. 1 relief artist. The other 19 came off Bob Friend, second best starter, and a handful of bullpen employe who should best remain nameless after what they went through Thursday.

AND THEN there is Mickey Mantle, the Yan-Turn to Page 18, Column 1 to Q.B. BOB DERAILS CINCY, 14-0 Go iiisky or tails 11 CP ij night in sending the Titans to a 14-0 victory over previously unbeaten Cincinnati. It was the first time the Bearcats had been blanked in BY JACK BERRY Bob Lusky, the best quarterback seen around the Univer-aity of Detroit in many years, did another brilliant job Friday i CSX 4 I A A I I' 1 -THE WIIITE-SIIIRTED COSMOS of Hamtramek Johnson of Roys Town picks up two yards for the fell to Boys Town 'Friday night, 20-12.

Lusky continues to prove coach Jim Miller right. Miller has prophesied "a really good" "I hope he's right about that," rejoins Daugherty, who has been saying all week that the hustling Hawks will be the hardest team to contain that the Spartans will face all season. The men who set the odds for those who like to wager a little agree with the coaches. The game is generally rated a tossup, with Iowa favored by a single point in some forecasts. DAUGHERTY Is genuinely scared or talks like it of a high-speed Iowa backf ield which features Wilburn Hollis, Jerry Mauren and Larry Ferguson and which has exploded for 626 yards in two games with five touchdown runs between 38 and yards.

They will put the pressure on State's young linemen, seasoned in a 7-7 tie with JUST FOR KICKS Michigan State University football coach Duffy Paugherty (center) wasn't kidding. He really means to use soccer player Cecil Heron, shown about to boot the ball, and Kepier Kemeling against Iowa Saturday. Heron and Kemeling were borrowed from MSU's soccer team because the Spartans have failed to get distance on their kickoffs. Heron reputedly can boot a ball 70 to 80 yards off the instep of his soccer shoe. WHITEWASH?

i The 17-D line did a spar- kling job spearheaded by center Frank Jaokuna and i guard Tony A r. Ends Steve Stonebreaker and I -a r- ry Vargo were tops on of- fense and defense. The U-D line didn't give Cin cinnati quarterback Lamar Switzer. a transfer student from U-D, a chance to get set. Switzer didn't complete his first pass until the fourth quarter.

THE ONLY serious Cincinnati threat came with less than two minutes to play and Ted Karpowicz quelched that when he picked off a pass in the end zone and ran it out 39 yards. U-D killed the elork then to boost Its record to 2-1. Cincinnati had gone into the game, played before 15,745 fans, with three straight victories but was a one-touchdown underdog. The Bearcats had the ball for only 25 plays in the first half to 42 for U-D. BIT U-D couldn't untrack itself either with penalties playing- a big part in the frustration.

Lusky's direction finder was off and he was overthrowing his targets. The best chanre took tT-D Turn to Page 15, Column 2 w. year for his senior signal-caller since Sept. 1. And he's right.

Lusky directed both of the second-half touchdown drives. In all, he ran 17 times for 102 Pittsburgh and a thrilling 24-17 victory over Michigan. The Spartans will not go into the battle empty-handed, how ever. Strong rushing up the middle fullbacks Carl Charon and Ron Hatcher plus quarterback Tom Wilson's rollouts have been their stock-in-trade. THIS WEEK they expect also to have, for the first time this year, halfbacks Herb Adderley and Gary Ballman to sweep the ends.

Both of the brilliant ballcarriers have been held back by injuries. While the Spartans out-rushed Pitt and Michigan almost 2-1, they need Adderley and Ball-man to circumvent a seasoned Iowa line which yielded 222 yards in a 22-12 decision over Turn to Page 18, Column 2 Altman, who has been offered $65,000 to sign professional baseball contracts, and Rappold have been doing more passing than Duke teams are accustomed to under Bill Murray. The Devils still have good runners in halfbacks Joel Arlington, Jack' Wilson, Dean Wright and Mark Leggett, THEY SAY sophomore Leggett will be All-America some day, and he is already noteworthy among his mates. Michigan's backs are just as good as Duke's If they are healthy. But fullback Ken Tureaud isn't expected to be used with a bad hip, and halfback Bennie McRae is below full efficiency with an ankle injury.

They are two top gainers. PALM BEACH "BLENRON" 2-PANT FALL SUITS BY HAL MTDDLESWORTH FrM Press Staff Writw EAST LANSING There's one safe bet on the crucial Big Ten football battle between Michigan State and Iowa here Saturday. They'll both score. Iowa hasn't missed in 67 games, the longest streak in the college sport today. The Spartans have been whitewashed only four times in 122 starts since the Biggie Munn-Duffy Daugherty era opened in 1947.

THERE'S NO rush, however, to pick a winner between the two undefeated powers in a Band Day game which will draw about 60,000 fans. Forrest Evashevski, who is re tiring from coaching after this ninth season of a brilliant career at Iowa, confides: "Neither team will run away with it.

THE LIOXS put rookie line backer "Max Messner on the injured reserve list to drop the roster to 37, one below the limit and promptly added Davis.
