Dodgers Again Pull Even In World Series New York, Oct. 6 —(UP)—Burt Shotton, a gray-haired old man who is used to such things, asked his Brrooklyn Dodgers to come up with one more miracle today against the New York Yankees in the seventli and deciding came of the world series. He could come up with nothing. He had no starting pitcher—at least that was what he said —and he had a starting lineup which usually is shot with substitutes at game’s end. All he had was a group of “never say die” ball players that the experts insisted never belonged on the same field with the veteran and polished Yankees. But there they were, backing him up in his bid to become the first manager of a ball club, ever to win a seven game world series after dropping the first two contests. Only one thing was certain. The hurler among his 10 possibilities whom he was going to choose as a starter will face Floyd (Bill) Sevens, the pitcher who came the closest to pitching a no-hit game in all world series history. “Our man is Bevens,” Bucky Harris, Yankee manager, said. “We are riding or falling on him.” Shotton was expected to name Hal Gregg, a “problem kid” pitcher, who has been particularly impressive in the series, even though he wasn’t around at the memorable finish when Bevens gave up that one losing hit in the game that shall be remembered as the greatest in world series history. Gregg, a right hander with a world of stuff when he can control it, came into that game with the bases loaded, one run jn and nobody out for the Yankees in the first inning, and in one of the greatest demonstrations of clutch pitching iji series history, turned the Yankees back with only one run in seven innings. If Gregg could do it, he not only would rank as the one Dodger starting and finishing pitcher in this wildest of all world series, but he would be a hero to rate along with Lavagetto, strong-arm-ed Hugh Casey, who has come in to stop Yankee uprisings in five out of the six games, and the littlest Dodger of them all. Al Gionfriddo, who came up with the biggest catch of them all yesterday. The Yankees were 9 to 5 to take the payoff game, and a look at the lineups bore out those figures. For while the Dodgers had the “inspiration guys,” like Casey, Lavag*etto. Gionfriddo, Peewee Reese and 'Eddie Stanky, the Yankees had the old pros—joltin’ Joe DiMaggio. Tommy Henrich. George Stirnweiss, Phil Rizzuto and their colleagues—and that was enough for the bookmakers. Gregg is a gamble. So are all of the other Dodger starting pitchers. And of the relief crew, only old tavern-keeper Casey, who sym-

bolizes the twilight of a great baseball career because he never appears in the game until the shadows are deep on the infield grass, is a sure-fire rally stopper. There were those who believed that on this final day, Casey might not have enough water left to put out the fire, but they were not folks from Flatbush. Many thought that the stage was set for Bevens to emulate his previous performance. They figured that this time he would give up any ideas of a no-hitter and concentrate on finding the plate, a talent in which he was sadly lacking in his epochal performance at Ebbets field when 10 bases on balls blotted his otherwise incomparable hurling. It also was worthy of consideration that the final game was being played jji the “home of champions,” the Yankee Stadium where the long-ball hitters who earned the nickname of "Bronx Bombers,” are prone to put the ball into the seats on any given occasion. That Gionfriddo, or any other left fielder could duplicate such a catch as he made on the hall that DiMaggio expected to be a threerun homer yesterday was inconceivable. That Dixie Walker could shoot up his glove hand against the barrier and snag another "bleach-er-destined” drive in right field, such as he retrieved off the bat of Henrich yesterday also was less than probable. The folks who liked the Yankees were wondering if perhaps it wasn't time for the Dodger luck to run out. But one of the greatest skeptics of the lot was a Yankee himself. Henrich, the brilliant all-around star of the Yankees summed it up for his teammates when he said in inconsolable misery after yesterday’s defeat! “IM read it in a book I wouldn’t believe it. They've got the doggondest bunch of ball players ever put on a ball field.” 0 Columbia City Io Play Here Friday Decatur high school Yellow Jackets football squad started in earnest today to drill for the sixth game on their schedule against Columbia City at Worthman field next Friday night at 7:30 o’clock. The Jackets, fresh from a win against New Haven, have finally stacked up a win and are anxious to store away a few more before the season Is ended October 22. All of the players reported today in fairly good physical condition. Coach Bob Worthman is preparing two lines for the Columbia City encounter and several of the younger backfield players have been used in scrimmages, which indicates there may be numerous substitutions in the Friday encounter. Pass defense is still getting a lot of attention and several long drills are on the program for the next three days on offense. The Friday night game will be the next to the last home game. Warsaw comes here October 17 and the Jackets close their season at Hartford City October 22. Assistant Coach Deane Dorwin has

Purdue Upsets Ohio, Indiana . Is Held To Tie Chicago, Oct. 6 —(UP) —The Big Nine’s overall football ability was clearer today, and the picture was a trifle brighter for the conference in remaining games against intersection foes. Both Puraue and Wisconsin, the weak sisters in pre-season ratings, ranked now about on a par with the other clubs, and both Michigan and Illinois looked like standout, teams. Illinois’ potentialities should be decided Saturday when Ray Eliot’s club tangles with one of the best of the east. Army, at New York. Whethef Wisconsin can hold out against one of the west's top teams will be decided, too, as Harry Stuhldreher’s eleven meets California. In other impending scraps, Michigan takes on Pittsburgh. Minnesota meets Northwestern, lowa plays Indiana, Notre Dame faces Purdue, and Ohio State ventures against Southern California. Wisconsin and Purdue moved into the football forefront Saturday, the Badgers by tying Bo McMillin's Indiana club and Purdue by upsetting Ohio State. Northwestern also rated a nod from the critics by overcoming U. C. L. A., defending Pacific Coast champions, in the fourth period. For the Badgers the tie came on a 70 yard run by fullback Earl Maves after Indiana had pushed to a touchdown in seven plays. Statistically, though. Indiana had a huge bulge with 21 first downs to Wisconsin's four, and a net gain of 404 yards to the Badgers’ 174. The Boilermakers, led by an overlooked halfback, Harry Szulborski, came from behind twice to tip over Ohio State. Szulborski was the main cog in the Purdue offensive, gaining 172 yards in 23 plays, but he didn’t score a point. Northwestern also had to rally to win. U. C. L. A. held the lead at the half, lost it to the Wildcats on a touchdown run of 93 yards by Frank Aschenbrenner and another of 66 yards by Tom Worthington, and then went ahead again, 26 to 20. Jim Farrar passed 32 yards to Jules Siegle for the tying touchdown and Farrar converted with the winning point. Illinois overwhelmed lowa, as the entire team played with merciless efficiency. Perry Moss completed 11 of 16 forward passes for 116 yards to spark the offense. Johnny Lujack was the passing star for Notre Dame as the Irish whipped Pittsburgh by scoring 20 points in the final period. Lujack pitched three touchdown passes in the game. Michigan scored 28 points in the first period to outclass Stanford, and the Wolverines were ahead, 42 to O', at the half as the

Minnesota took a 14 to 0 lead on Nebraska, and when the Cornhuskers pulled within one point, the Gophers romped to two more quick touchdowns for a final victory margin of 15 points. 0 Series Facts New York, Oct. 6 —(UP)— Facts and figures on the 1947 world series: Today’s game — the seventh and final, at Yankee stadium, 1:30 p.m. EST.

Qr “Why can’t I get more IT’S COMING! Time and again we have enlarged the world’s largest brewery. The present expansion program is the largest ever. But we can’t ship you these additional trainloads of Budweiser without expanding our presnet network of railroad trackage. Supplying your demand for Budweiser has required us to build private railroad yards bigger than the terminal facilities of many major cities. Although we are producing and shipping more Budweiser than ever before, it is scarce because more people are demanding it than ever before. They demand it because every drop of Budweiser contains the quality that over the years has made it the most popular beer in history. Meanwhile, we are distributing Budweiser equitably to thousands of dealers throughout America. It seems that people no longer ask for beer... they ask for Budweiser. ANBSUSEB - B USCH...ST.
