Dodgers Take Third In Row To Lead Yankees NEW YORK UNS) — The hard and heart! Brooklyn Dodgers went after a chunk, of baseball history and tbs hides ot the crippled New York Yankees today when they net the beleaguered Bombers in the sixth cane of the World Sertee. Bursting with almost hysterical desire, the Dodgers stormed into Yankee Stadium needing one victory to become world champions for the first lime- Everything was uncanny and unique about the haughtily strutting Bums, who staged the greatest escape act since Houdini got out of the coffin. Their 3-2 lead in the big show was achieved via a dramatic, amazing turnabout which saw them blow' the first two games at Yankee Stadium and then sweep the next three at their home park in Ebbets Field. In a seven-game series no team that has dropped the first two games has ever come back to win the world title. But when the Dodgers defeated the hobbled and hapless Yankees, 5 to 3, Sunday on two home runs by Duke Snider and one by Sandy Amoros. they appeared to have acquired a successful Bomber trademark —the long ball habit. Thus, manager Walter Alston led his inspired team, seven-time 'series losers, five times to the Yankees, into the huge Bronx ballyard where they could shake the frustrations and anguish that dated back to 1916 with one.

The only tiding uncertain was whether the Dodger pitcher in the sixth game wpuld be big Qon Newcombe (20-5) or southpaw Karl Spooner (8-6) against New York's lefty Whitey Ford (18-7). The probability of good weather and the possibility of witnessing the conversion of Yankee Stadium into a mammoth funeral parlor for its tenants, figured to attract 67,000 fans, many ot them skeptics who refuse to believe what has happened. But it all was factual and actual and as believable as the series odds which made the Brooklyns 13-to-5 favorites. The Yankees could take consolation in the fact that they were 6-to-5 selections to win the sixth game. More than that, these were Yankees. thia team with its back to the stadium walls. And there was pride tradition, memories and records to show that you couldn’t sell them short. In 1952 the Dodgers bad them down 3-2 and the Yankees came on to win. The desperate Casey Stengel legions. an outfit of walking wounded. was battling for its 17th world crown and sixth in the last seven years. The last time a Yankee team lost the series was back in 1942 to the St, Louis Cardinals. The Yankees played the sixth game without slugger Mickey Mantle. Stengel, apparently convinced that his magnificent switch hitter is more of a detriment than an asset with his painful, unplayable right thigh injury kept the yonng center fielder on the bench. Hank Bauer, hobbled by the same type injury, was Inserted late in the contest only when the manager found himself short one right fielder after manipulating his taped-and-tired platoons in a vain effort to shake off the blows of the Dodger powerboys. The story of Sunday’s ball game was Snider, Amoros, and pitchers Roger Craig and Clem Labine. The Duke dented the record books and Yankee pride with his two lusty hofiiers, his third and fourth of the series. They came as he led off the third and fifth innings facing Yankee starter and loser Bob Grim. A record Ebbets Field crowd of 36,796 cheered the man who recently .called Brooklyn fans “the lousiest in baseball,” tor the mighty Duke had tied a record he equalled in 1952—a mark of four h’omers in one series. This record also is the property ot two Yankee immortals, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Snider's career total of nine series homers gave him Ane more than Yankee clipper Joe DiMaggio, only one less than Gehrig’s 10 and six less than Ruth's mountainous 15. ' ■ Amoros, the pint-sized Cuban who was to strike out three times after making his contribution, tagged Grim for a two-run homer in the second inning. The Dodger four-base blows offset Yankee homers by pinch-hittar Bob Cerv, a solo shot in-the seventh, and a leadoff circuit by Yogi Berra in the .eighth. Craig, 24-year-old righty brought up from Montreal last July, gave up four hits in six innings and had his victory preserved through the gritty relieving of Labine, making his fourth appearance in the 1955 extravaganza. The handy Labine turned back Yankee uprisings in the seventh and eighth, aided by record-set-ting Dodger double plays and he set the Yanks down in order in the ninth. The Brooks now have ten twin killings, a National league record. The DP’s have helped set the stage for the biggest killing of all.

Michigan Is Still Tops In College Teams NEW YORK (INS) — Michigan cautiously hauled its haunches on to the college football throne tor the second straight week today, Suspicious that magnificent Maryland had slipped a tack'under the cushionThe Wolverines duked out Maryland for first billing in the Inter nationtai News Service “top lO* by n scant ope point. The INS panel of experts gave Michigan the one-point edge mainly because of the Wolverines 42-to--7 slaughter of Missouri two weeks ago. Maryland edged the same “Mizzou” squad a week earlier, Ifcto-lE This week, Coach Bennie Ooeterbaan’s vaunted Wolverines offense wai slowed down by an inspired Michigan state eleven, but Michigan, a two-touchdown pre-game favorite, squeaked to a 14-to-7 win in this battle with its traditional rival. Maryland took to the air to puncture a highly touted Baylor Bear, 20 to 6, with quarterback Frank Tamburello flipping the Terps to their strongest offensive showing of the season. Tamburello passed twice for touchdowns and halfback Dave Nusz connected for the other. The rest of the top IQ, anyone of which could vault into first place next Week, stacks up like this: 3. Oklahoma; 4. Notre Deme and Southern California in a tie; 6. UCLA; 7. Georgia Tech: 8. Navy; 9. Wisconsin; 10. Texas Christian. Wisconsin and TCU crashed the football '‘bluebook” for the first time on the strength of convincing wins over top-flight opposition. Underdog Wisconsin ripped lowa, 37 to 14, to set itself up as the main contester to Michigan's heirapparency to the Big Ten crown and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Texas Christian manhandled Arkansas, 26 to 0, to loom as the power in the Southwest, u Oklahoma merited third place with a 26-10-14 win over a scrappy Pittsburgh club. The Sooners were nearly wrecked by two lategame Pitt touchdown spurts, but regrouped and pushed across a final score in the fading seconds of the game for their 21st straight win. Notre Dame blanked Indiana, 19 tn fl. and advanced from (eventh to fourth place in a tie with Southern Cal. The Trojans lassoed Texas in a West Coast contest Friday night. Army has that certain something, • but not even the Cadet's best friend, coach Earl Blaik, told them —or anyone else —about it. The Black Knights prodded Penn State with a lance-like offence, 35 to 6, and advanced from tenth to fifth place. The ‘long gray line moves to Ann Arbor next week for a shot at Michigan, and the Army will try to soften Wolverine defenses with howitzer backs Don Holleder and Pat Uebel. ;• - UCLA handed Washington State the’worst home-stand humiliation the Cougars ever have suffered at home—Ass to 0 drubbing—but slid only fifth lo sixth place in spite Os it. - *' Georgia Tech climbed a notch from eighth to seventh spot with an easy 20 to t win over Southern Methodist. The Yellow - Jackets made superb use of their famous “bel)y” play with button back Ronald (Toppy) Vann scoring all three touchdowns. Bobby Dodd’s Engineers take on Louisiana State next Saturday in a game that might be tougher than it looks on paper. The Tigers, though green, battled Rice to a 20 to 20 deadlock to gain new stature. Navy, eighth-ranked, rounds out the top 10. The Middies picked up Steam in their second game of the season against South Carolina and rocked the Gamecocks, 26 to 0.
