THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4; 1951 PAGE T, nupsoSi s Hotm urns Hi,, y r The 5 4 Run Rally In 9th Inning Wins Pennant Bobby Thompson pulled the New York Giants from what seemed to be certain defeat into the World Series! by hitting a 1hree-run homer in the ninth inning off Brooklyn relief pitcher Ralph Branca to win the third and deciding gameof the Nation al League playoffs yesterday in New York's Polo Grounds 5-4. Big Bobby," the New York third baseman, took a call strike from Branca and then sent the next pitch down, the left field line for his 32nd homer into the lower seats, scoring Don Mueller and Whitey Lockman to win the ball game. , Brooklyn scored three runs in the eighth, sending starter Sal Maglie to the showers, to take a 4-1 lead andl the never-say-die Giants seemed to be denied in their valiant try , for the pennant. But Alvin Dark started the ninth with a single to left and Mueller followed with another in the same place. Monte. Irwin popped out at first, but Whitey Lockman scored Dark with a single to make the score 4-2. " , JLockman's single sent Mueller to "third and sent big Don New comb to the showers. The negro righthander had been marvelous thus far and. the Giants had been able to get only four hits off his fast ball in earlier innings. It seemed that" the Dodgers had the game won in the eighth when they put four singles and a ter rible wild pitch by Sal Maglie to gether for three runs. What had previously been a close game, seemed to be over as the Giant ace collapsed vand the Brooks took a 4-1 lead. Brooklyn scored in the first inning when Maglie walked Pee Wee Reese and Duke Snider and then gave up a single to Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers took a 1-0 lead. J ' ; ' " New York got a run . in the seventh when Monte Irwin, doubled, Lockman sacrificed him to third and Thompson sent him home witf-u-a long fly to left. Willy Mays ended the rally when he hit into a double play. Giant! fans: took! hope again with the score tied, but their joy was short-lived when Brooklyn came tip with three runs in the eighth I That-' set the stage for Thompson's dramatic homer. Thus : ended the National League's first playoff series. -The Giants won ,the first game, 3-1, behind Jim Hearn, who .tossed a six-hitter. But the Bums came back to even the series Tuesday when they climbed all over star ter Sheldon Jones and took the contest 10-0.

EAGLE PRODUCTION ALSO CARTOON NEWS TODAY Gridders Improve Defense; Parker Moves To Offense Carolina's gridmen concentrat ed on passing yesterday afternoon as they scrimmaged, in what was the hardest practice so far this week. While Coach Carl Snavely wasn't too pleased with', their showing, passing, and protection for the passer seemed to have im proved. The main cause for alarm at the practice was the lack of Bud Carson in Jieavy equipment for the third day in a row. Fullback Bob White was also working out in light ' equipment, but it ,is a certainty he will be ready for Texas Saturday, while Carson's ankle doesn't seem to be healing quickly enough. The Carolina line has relin quished 98 yards to their oppo nants so far this - year, and lead the Southern Conference in this department,, and are the seventh team in the nation. While the Carolina defensive line has proved to be a bright spot, the pass de fense is evidently weak since Georgia-scored three times by the airways in one quarter last Sat urday. This is one of Coach Snav ely's big worries, since the Long horns have an excellent passer T. Jones, quarterbacking their split T-formation, Snavely has moved freshman sensation Larry Parker from de, fense , to offense, and is using both Parker and Connie Gravitte ' at tailback in order to strengthen that position."
