League history that ever moved
from seventh place at the close
of one season to win the pennant
the next year.
Dodgers Have Least Victories
The Dodgers also clinched the
championship with the fewest vic-
tories of any other National
League club, only 88 counting the
two playoff triumphs. It wasn't an
American League mark, however,
for the 1945 Detroit''Tigers also
won with 88."
Roger Craig (11-5), the Dodgers'
hottest pitcher in the stretch drive,
was due to work the third playoff
game if one was needed. Instead,
he will open the World Series
against the White Sox. His oppon-
ent probably will be 22-game win-
ner Early Wynn.
With the Dodger triumph, the
Series schedule now is set defi-
nitely. Two games in Chicago
Thursday and Friday will be fol-
lowed by one off day Saturday
for travel. They will resume at
Los Angeles Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, if necessary. If they have
to play the sixth and seventh there
will be another one-day travel be-
fore they resume at Comiskey
Park.
This was almost a routine game
for eight innings, but the Dodgers
let lose in the ninth to knot the
score, 5-5.
Each went quietly in the 10th
inning although the Dodgers had
a man on when Mantilla fumbled
Moon's grounder.
The 11th was enough to drive
strong men to drink. Milwaukee
loaded the bases on three walks
before pinch hitter Joe Adcock
bounced into a force out.
Litle Time To Recover
Alston's men hardly had time
to recover from that scare before
they too were involved in a rally.
Jay hit Joe Pignataho in the ribs
and Furillo got a single on a bunt
that rolled past the charging Mat-
hews. Jay got Wills and Fairly but
Haney took him out after he
loaded the bases by walking Gil-
liam on four straight pitches.
Bob Rush, last Brave pitcher
and the loser, made Neal roll out
on the first pitch but he couldn't
escape when his defense collapsed
in the 12th.
Almost overlooked in the con-
fusion was Mathew's 46th homer
with nobody on in the fifth. It
gave him the National League
,home run, title over Chicago's
Ernie Banks who finished the sea-
son Sunday with 45.
In the clubhouse, Haney tried to
ease the pain of Mantilla who sat
in front of his locker with his
head bowed and tears in his eyes.
Made a Good Play
"The kid made a good play,"
said his manager, "He just threw
it bad. It was one of those things."
In the jubilant Dodger club-
house, Hodgeswho normally is a
very quiet man, appeared to be the
happiest of them all.
"It's the biggest run I ever
scored in my life," he said. "I had
no idea of scoring. I actually stop-
ped after rounding third base
when Reese (coach Pee Wee
Reese) yelled to go on. I took one
look and just was able to see the
ball bounce past Torre and hit
(Greg) Mulleavy (the Dodger first
base coach) on the shoulder and
bounce away."

Michigan's gridders continued
preparation for this Saturday's big
game with arch-rival Michigan
State by having the longest work-
out of the season yesterday.
The Wolverines, in getting ready
for the first sellout crowd here in
two years, practiced mainly on set-
ting up a defense against MSU
plays.
"We're trying to correct those
mistakes," said Coach Bump El-
liott. "The ones we made last Sat-
urday were hard, honest mistakes,
but we still must eliminate them."
The squad worked eagerly at
minimizing its errors, despite the
disheartening defeat suffered Sat-
urday in the last two seconds.
"Our spirit is fine, and our big
job now is to get ready for State.
We'll simply play them one at a
time, forgetting the ones behind,"
said Elliott.
This last remark also referred
to the results of Saturday's Big
Ten games involving future Michi-
gan opponents. Northwestern's
smashing of Oklahoma, and In-
diana's decisive win over Illinois
were two big surprises last week.
At the same time, however, Ohio
State and Wisconsin narrowly
squeaked out victories, while Mi-
". " w" .'s. r v r.w, ^ "crv isyr" x dy w
nesota was thrashed by Nebraska,
and Michigan State dropped a
thriller to Texas A&M.
Although Elliott said that the
Wolverines will play these op-
ponents as they come, Saturday's
games indicate that as far as 'M'
opponents go, they all weren't im-
pressive in the first week of action.
There is one alment on the team
which, attracted considerable at-
tention yesterday, and that was
Bennie McRae's toothache. He had
a tooth pulled yesterday morning,
and relaxed at practice. He will be
ready to go today or tomorrow, and
hopes are high that he will flash
the same form he did in the open-
er.

UP AND OVER-With less than three minutes to play and Michigan trailing the Missouri Tigers by
two points, Wolverine end John Halstead (insert) was called on to put the toe to his first collegiate
field goal. His successful attempt (circled) gave Michigan a 15-14 lead that they were unable to
protect as they fell, 20-15 in the last two seconds of play.

Hidden by the shroud that has-
covered the Michiga# football
scene since last Saturday's loss at
the hands of Missouri is the player
who was a hero-almost.
When the Tigers' Bob Haas
plunged over the Wolverine goal
line with but two seconds remain-
ing in the game and rolled the
score to 20-15, he robbed Michigan
end John Halstead of a moment
of glory.
Halstead, who had never before
kicked a ball in college play, had
been called upon less than three
minutes before to attempt the field
goal that would give the Wolver-
ines the lead and probably the ball
game.
He came through with a low
boot that traveled 32 yards on an
angle from the left side of the
field. But, instead of being the hero
of the game, Halstead only man-
aged to set the stage for one of
the most exciting (and most dis-
appointing for local rooters) fin-
ishes ever seen on the grass of the
Michigan Stadium.
Although second-string quarter-
back Haas snatched away Hal-
stead's first chance at headlines
this year with his colorful 76 yard
drive and touchdown, the, husky
blond is no stranger to the news-
paper of Ann Arbor or his native
Bay City.
The blond flanker played his first
football at Bay City Central under
coach Elmer Engle. Engle, who'
once played at the University of
Illinois, and has been one of the
most successful prep coaches in
the state of Michigan seldom sees
his Central Wolves out of the top
10 rankings.
Halstead's tenure at Central was
no exception to this. In fact, his
junior and senior years each saw
the Bay City squad among the top
three class A teams in the state. In
his senior year, Central went into
its last game undefeated only to
lose the mythical state title on a
field goal (a relative rarity in high
school ball).
This Wolf-turned-Wolverine. Is
not the only player that Engle has
sent on to the college wars. From
the players that were his team-
mates at Central, Halstead can
count seven others that are now
playing across the' country from
Michigan State to Alma to the
University of Detroit to Arizona
State.
Not the least among these is his
teammate at both Central and
Michigan, Dick Syring.
Top Ten
The top ten, with total points
based on 19 for a first place vote,
9 for second, etc. (First place votes
in parenthesis):
The twQ, Halstead and Syring,
decided together to come to Michi-
gan after having been approached
by four Big Ten teams.
Although he had kicked extra
points in high school, Halstead had
never had occasion to tally a three-
pointer until the Missouri contest.
With, the regular kicker, Daryl
Harper, out of the game, Coach,
Bump Elliott chose to go with Hal-
stead and Bay City's burly blond
cane through with the kick that
made him A hero-almost.

With the knowledge gained from*
last week's contest, this week's
Grid Picks contestants should be
able to do better, although the
games are just as tough.
This early in the season it is dif-
ficult to predict games as most of
the teams are unknown quantities,
or else they are surprising, with
the supposedly good ones playing
bad ball and vice versa.
There are enough new teams
thrown in this week to make the
contest for two free passes to the
Michigan Theatre extremely in-
teresting.
To see if you have learned any-
thing about predicting upsets, send
in this article, with the winners
circled, to Grid Picks, The Michi-
gan Daily, 420 Maynard, Ann Ar-
bor, or come to The Daily and fill
out a blank. Include your name,
address and telephone number
with your entry.
The winner will be able to see
"The Man Who Understood Wom-
en," with Henry Fonda and Leslie
Caron.
