SATURDAY OCTOBER 8, 1949 THE DAILY TAR HEEL jy L Page 5 Page Hurls Second Win For NewY ork Yankee Attack Staggers Branca In Last Frame (Continued from page 1) One Run Short! wards went up to hit for the pitcher after Campanella's blast had reduced the Yankees mar fin to a single run. But once again the great relief chucker had it in the clutch, and he sat Edwards down with his second strikeout of the inning to end the game and give the Yanks a 2-1 lead in victories. Up to the time Branca sud denly lost his control and walk ed Yogi Berra with one out in the ninth, the 23-year-old fast baller had set down 14 Yank batters in succession. During that blinding stretch he looked un beatable. . . The American Leaguers had made their second run of the three series games in the third inning on a walk, a single by pitcher Byrne through the center of the diamond and an outfield fly Gene Woodling had banged a double aff the scoreboard with two down in the fourth, and that was all the Yanks had done to the Dodger youngster prior to Berra's walk. Dimaggio Fouls Out Branca forced Joe Dimaggio to pop foul for the second out but Bobby Brown came through with a sharp single into right to send Yogi to second. Really unsettled by this time, Branca began throwing the ball into the dirt and giving Campa nella a hard time of it behind the plate. When he walked Gene Wcodling to fill the bases, the stage was all set for Mize's entrance. The large man who wears a No. 36 on his back and swings a man-sized 36-ounce bludgeon, let the count go to two balls and one strike and then bounced the next one off the palings at about the 300-foot rrxrk to send Berra and Brown dashing home and propelling Woodling around to third. That was all for Branca. Jack Banta, another young right hander, came on to pitch to Ger ry Coleman, and the Yankee freshman belted a single into center to put the Yanks out in front, 4-1. Olmo Hits For Circuit The downcast Brooklyn rooters began seeking the exats when Gil Hodges, first to face Page in the ninth, rolled weakly to sec ond. But they hesitated when Olmo laid into a fast ball and parked it in the left field stands. Later he said he was beginning to tire at that stage and perhaps eased up a bit.

That Mize finally got to play in a World Series and to deliver a telling blow against his old National League playmates was ironic. When the Yankees got him on waivers from the New York Giants to use in a utility role, only nine days remained to the deadline on deals for players who would be eligible for the series.

No doubt drawn by the revered name of Justice, more than 30,000 fans are expected to view the clash tomorrow in the first renew al of the ancient rivalry between the two teams since the war.

He's hitting a rousing 1.000. In peeling off their three runs, in the ninth, the American Lea guers scored more times than they had in the 26 previous innings of the series. One of the most unusual feat ures of the third struggle was the fact that Phil Rizzuto of the Yanks did nothave a single chance at shortshop. It tied a World Series record. For the most part, Byrne and then Page had Defensively the Gamecocks boast no strong record but point to end Roger Wilson as their de fensive stalwart. This tall, All Conference flanker from Macon, Georgia is now playing his fourth year of varsity ball and even greater deeds are expected from him. Carolina in Shape On the Tar Heel side of the pre game ledger, the outlook from the fitness standpoint is encouraging. Of the whole varsity squad, only Wingback Johnny Clements and four contests ending in deadlocks, PROBABLE LINEUPS: Wolverines In Nations Favored Over Top Contest Cadets Today Allenmen Work On Hot Offense For Navy Opener With only two days of pre paration left before the opening encounter with the Naval Aca demy, Coach Marvin Allen is paying particular attention to his scoring punch. During the past two years, the Tar Heel and Toers have held their own against the Middies, but were unable to pene trate the Navy defense, except on penalty kicks. The 1949 edition of the Tar Heel : booters seems to have finally acquired a potent scoring attack which should give many an opponent quite a few. head aches. Although the scoring has been held to a minimum during the practice scrimmages, Coach Allen has molded two fine teams capable of battling each other to a stand-still.

The Wolverines, rated the top team in the country in the Associated Press Football Poll this week, will j be favored by one touchdown.

They're all pretty well dwarfed, however, .when they're stacked up against the Michigan-Army affair. Actually, it will come as a surT prise from all quarters if the Ca dets emerge on top. Davis, Blanchard Gone The last time ' the two " teams met, the West Pointers came out ahead, 20-lo. But that -was in 1946.: This time Coach Earl Blaik does not have Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard to rip holes in the Michigan forward wall. "As a-matter of fact, the Army strategy" called for plenty of end plays until Blaik' saw what hap pened to Stanford last - week. Stanford, apparently figuring the same thing, hit the flanks with no success. Al (The Man) Wistert and Dick Kempthorn smothered them every time. Blaik admits that he's going to have to use a new strategy. He said that by the simple process of elimination, Army will be forced to rely on passing than anything else. Blaik, by the way, He passes only when absolutely necessary. Passing Duel Set Michigan coacn utrn.e Ooster baan has been planning on an Army passing attack all week, and has been drilling his charges accordingly, me chances ars that Oosterbaan- will bank con-! siderably on Chuck Ortmann, who handles most of the passing ; chores, because Army also has j a big, strong line. The running will be in the hands of Ortmann and Leo i Koceski. i Danny Drops Suit NEW YORK. Oct. 7 P) Danny Gardella's attorney to night announced that Gardel 2a is dropping his suit against organized baseball. Gardella has asked for and received his unconditional re lease from the New York Giants and will sign a 19S0 contract with the Si. Louis Cardinals. Arrangements satisfactory to Gardella have been worked out for his reinstatement. This information came in a statement issued tonight by Gardella's attorney. the Brooks either popping up or End Ed Washington are on the i clouting home runs. disabled list, both rendered in- Byrne, an erratic southpaw, j effective due to sprained ankles. had fine control at the start and was handling the Dodgers very nicely until Reese, the Brooklyn captain, hit a howling homer well up into the left field stands to open the fourth inning. Then Led by the incomparable Charlie Justice and his own triple-threat offense, the Carolina eleven rules as a definite favorite to extend its season's record to was all over. Then Campanella J Byrne appeared to come un luneed a: a curve and sent a sky-high fly to left which just reached the top of the lower railing in left and bounced into the stands. So things were somewhat tense when Edwards, a danger ous righthand hitter, strode to the plate. Manager Casey Stengel trudged out and had a good, long talk with Page . before he de cided to leave him in. His ulti mate faith in the pitcher who was appearing in his 62nd game of the year, proved justified as buttoned all at once. Eddie Miksis followed with: a terrific drive into center which Dimaggio pulled down. Carl Fu rillo lined a single into left, and then both Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges drew walks on only nine pitches while Page warmed up furiously in the bullpen. Stengel broke from the dugout and waved his left arm furiously, and in came the man, who, more than any other pitcher, was re sponsible for the Yankees' pen nant victory.
