Whether they will is a ques-
tion, only the game can answer.
The Wolverines have been very
tough on defense. Their pass
protection has been very sharp
to date but they haven't run
up against an end like Foldberg
before.
A brother of All-American Hank
Foldberg who played end for Army
in the hey-day of Blanchard and
Davis, Dan is rated the best re-
ceiver he has ever coached, by
Army mentor Earl (Red) Blaik.
* * *
INJURED IN mid-season of last
year, Foldberg was unable to par-
ticipate in the Navy game and his
absence was rated the biggest fac-
tor in the Middies' astounding 21-
21 uprising against their heavily
favored traditional rivals.
Stephenson, rated as worthy
successor to the immortal Blan-
chard, is another Cadet who has
received mention as a potential
All-American and, he will re-
ceive offensive assistance from
halfbacks Jim Cain and Frank
Fisehel, neither of whom will
ever be mistaken for turtles
when they begin to move.
Army's offensive line is fast and
smart and it is difficult to imagine
the Cadets being shut out. If the
West Pointers have a weakness it
is their defensive line. Little Dav-
idson and a weak Penn State team
were both able to move through
the Cadet defense and the Nittany
Lions scored first, at a time when
Army could hardly have been ac-
cused of letting up.
Wolverine coach Benny Ooster-
baan will string along with the
same team that started against
Stanford last week, which means

NEW YORK--(A)-Danny Gar-
della's attorney tonight announced
that Gardella is dropping his suit
against organized baseball.
Gardella has asked for and re-
eeived his unconditional release
from the New York Giants and
will sign a 1950 contract with the
St. Louis Cardinals.
ARRANGEMENTS satisfactory
to Gardella have been worked out
for his reinstatement.
This information care in a
statement issued last night by
Gardella's attorney, Frederic A.
Johnson, and New York State
Senator Fred G. Moritt.
The statement was released at
the World Series press headquar-
ters by Charles Segar, Manager of
the National League Service Bu-
reau. He was accompanied by Fred'
Saigh, owner of the Cardinals.
Dropping of Gardella's suit re-
moved the last legal threat to or-
ganized baseball by the players
who jumped to the Mexican
League in the spring of 1946.
Gardella played center field for
the wartime Giants but left the
club to join the Mexican League
after an argument during the
spring training season at Miami,
Fla.

that John Ghindia, who called a
brilliant game against the Indians,
will once again be at the quarter-
back post.
There is a possibility that Capt.
Al Wistert, still suffering from a
knee injury incurred at Stanford,
will relinquish his offensive tackle
post to sophomore Tom Johnson.
However, Wistert is definitely ex-
pected to see action on the de-
fense.

BROOKLYN-Big Johnny Mize
came back to haunt the National
League yesterday.
A Yankee only since Aug. 22, the
36-year-old veteran smashed a
two-run pinch single off the right
field wall to spark a three-run
rally in the ninth inning that just
nipped the homer blasting Brook-
lyns, 4 to 3, in the third game of
the World Series.
THE TWO CLUBS were knotted
1-1 in another homeric pitchers'
duel when large John unloaded the
blow that broke the game wide
open. Another Yankee run crossed
before the Brooks recovered from
Johnny's smack, and it was just as
well, for both Luis Olmo and Roy
Campanella smashed four baggers
into the left field stands before
Joe Page erased a pinch-hitter for
the final out of the tussle.
The American Leaguers were
a badly frustrated crew up to the
time Mize delivered. His was
only the fourth hit off Ralph
Branca, who had pitched a tre-
mendous game for eight and
two-third innings.
Page, who relieved Tommy
Byrne after the southpaw had
thrown a home-run ball to Pee
Wee Reese and then had loaded
the bases on a single and two
walks in a fourth-inning blow-up,
throttled the Dodgers on one lone
hit the rest of the way before
Olmo and Campanella jumped
him at the end.
* * *
JOE LOOKED jittery and the
crowd of 32,788 was yelling for
blood when bulky Bruce Edwards
went up to hit for the pitcher after
Campanella's blast had reduced
the Yankees' margin to a single
run. But once again the great re-
lief 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
walked Yogi Berra with one out
in the ninth, the 23-year-old
fastballer had set down 14 Yank
batters in succession. During
that blinding stretch he looked
unbearable.
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 Wood-
ling had banged a double off 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.
* * *
BRANCA FORCED Joe DiMag-
giot o 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 Woodling 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 mark to send Berra and
Brown dashing home and pro-
pelling Woodling around to third.
* * *
THAT WAS ALL for Branca.
Jack Banta, another young right-
hander, came on to pitch Gerry
Coleman, and the Yankee fresh-
man belted a single into center to
put the Yanks out in front, 4-1.
The downcast Brooklyn root-
ers began seeking the exits 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 lower deck. Page
said later he was beginning to
tire at that stage and perhaps
eased up a bit.
Duke Snider whiffed for the sec-
ond out, and it looked like it was
all over. Then Campanella lunged
at a curve and sent a sky-high fly
to left which just reached the top
of the dower railing in left and
bounced into the stands.
So things were somewhat tense
when Edwards, a dangerous right-
hand hitter, strode to the plate.
Manager Casey Stengel trudged
out and had a good, long talk with
Page before he decided to leave
him in. His ultimate faith in the
pitcher who was appearing in his
62nd game of the year, proved jus-
tified as Edwards let a third strike
go past without offering at it.

FIRST SERIES START -
Southpaw Ed Lopat will be
Manager Casey Stengel's choice
to protect the New York Yan-
kees' World Series advantage
over the Brooklyn Dodgers to-
days at Ebbets Field.
Spartans Meet
Eastern Foe
EAST LANSING - (P) - The
Maryland football squad arrived
here this afternoon, ready to chal-
lenge Michigan State in an inter-
sectional meeting today.
A squad of 41 Maryland men ar-
rived in Lansing by plane shortly
after noon. Coach Jim Tatum did
not give his boys a workout and
planned only a chalk talk before
the game.
"We're in 100 per cent good
shape and ready to go," Tatum
said. "We've worked hard all this
week for the game because we
realize Michigan State is our
toughest opponent. But we'll be
in there plugging."
Maryland, after easy victories
over Virginia Tech and George-
town, is seeking the national spot-
light by a win over the Spartans.
MSC was edged 7-3 by Michigan
and downed Marquette 48-7 last
week.

CHICAGO - (iP) - Minnesota
launches a Big Ten title bid, but
another Conference power, de-
fending champion Michigan, holds
the National spotlight in today's
football program.
The twice-victorious Gophers
jump into the Big Ten race against
Northwestern 'at Minneapolis,
Minn. In the day's only other
conference tilt, Illinois visits Iowa.
* * *
ANOTHER ROUSING intersec-
tional battle slams together Ohio
State and Southern California at
Los Angeles in a meeting of two
hot Rose Bowl prospects.
Surprising Wisconsin enter-
tains California at Madison,
Wis. Still a fourth tangle of
far-distant rivals brings Texas
Christian to Indiana. Notre
Dame, undefeated in 30 games,
invades Purdue to round out
the activity for Big Ten teams.
It would do Minnesota, a two-
touchdown favorite, well to get off
the Conference mark on the right
foot against Northwestern. The
following two weekends will be
dog-eat-dog among the league fa-
vorites.
ON OCT. 15, Minnesota invades
Ohio State in a game that may be
the springboard to the Rose Bowl
game, if not the league title. The
following Saturday, Oct. 22, Min-
nesota and Michigan collide at
Ann Arbor.
Thus, excepting the Ohio at
Michigan finale Nov. 19, the
Conference title die may be cast
by mid-season.
Minnesota won two non-league
starts against Washington, 48-20,
and Nebraska, 28-6. Rose Bowl
DO YOU KNOW. The Michi-
gan football team never finished
lower than third in the Confer-
ence standings in the first eleven
years it was in existence.

Champion Northwestern opened
with a 20-6 league decision over
Purdue, but last Saturday became
a cropper before a snappy Pitts-
burgh team, 16-7.
Illinois will be the underdog,
Nased on deadlocks with Iowa
State (20-20) and Wisconsin
(13-13, against Iowa's Hawkeyes,
who came back nicely after a 41-25
loss to U.C.L.A. with a 21-7 victory
over Purdue.
Another sellout tomotrow will
be the record-breaking crowd of
52,000 at the Notre Dame-Purdue
game for which tickets were gone
two months ago.

STENGEL PICKS LOPAT:
Shotton Doubtful, May Pitch Newcombe
4

NELSON' EDDY

SUNDAY

Oct. 9, 7

P.M.

By The Associated Press
BROOKLYN-Yankee Manager
Casey Stengel, who makes no mys-
tery of his starting pitchers, an-
nounced he will go today with Ed
Lopat, his veteran southpaw who
won 15 and lost 10 during the
regular season. But Brooklyn pilot
Burt Shotton again refused to say
who his starter would be, but no-
body would be much surprised to
see Don Newcombe out there
again.
The big Negro, who lost a 1 to
0 heartbreaker on Tommy Hen-
rich's ninth-inning home run in
the opener, is ready and anxious
to get at the Yanks again. "I'm
ready to pitch anytime, today or
tomorrow, if Shotton wants me,"
he declared.
The other Brooklyn possibility
is left-handed Joe Hatten, who
posted a 12-8 record this year.
* * *
IF THE BROOKLYN Dodgers
never see Joe Page again, it will
be all right with them. They've
played 10 World Series games with
the New York Yankfees in the last
three years, and Page has pitched
in six. Many of them sadly re-
called that it was Fireman Joe who
stopped them in the final game of
the 1947 World Series. The gay
reliever throttled the Brooks with
one hit in five and one-third bril-
liant relief innings to protect a
5-2 lead.
Joe went five and two-thirds
innings yesterday after relieving
starter Tommy Byrne in the
fourth with the bases clogged
and only one out. He got out of
it unscathed and allowed only
three hits the rest of the way.
Ralph Branca also pitched a
fine game until he weakened in
the ninth. He was only one strike
away from getting out of the inn-
ing without a run being scored
against him. But he walked Gene
Woodling with two out to load the

bases and set the stage for John-
ny Mize's clutch single.
"I DIDN'T FEEL tired," Branca
said trying to explain his sudden
collapse. "However, I must have
been since I couldn't keep my
curve ball low."
Branca was not too downcast
over losing, but kept shaking his
head in the clubhouse and mut-
tering "just one strike away-
just one strike away."
When Branca walked Cliff
Mapes in the third inning, it
Groth Marries
CHICAGO - (iP) - Johnny
Groth, 23-year-old rookie out-
fielder for the Detroit Tigers,
and Elizabeth Ann Stoll, 22, will
be married today at St. Pat-
rick's Church in West Lake
Forest, Chicago suburb.
After a honeymoon at Sea
Island, Ga., the couple plans to
live in Evanston, Ill.
marked the first base on balls
issued by a Dodger pitcher in the
three games. Branca walked four,
and they caused him as much
harm as the four hits he allowed.
* * *
AFTER YESTERDAY'S game,
Casey Stengel obligingly whooped:
"We had them all the way," as
the Yankees trooped past a wait-
ing line of reporters and photo-
graphers into their drab dressing
room under the Ebbets Field
stands.
Stengel figured a bit of cheer-
ing was expected, but the Yanks
had experienced too close a call
in their 4-3 victory over the
Dodgers in their, third world
series game to let off steam im-
mediately. They were rather
sober-faced crew until they had
gone through the customary

cooling-out period before the
doors were opened to the press.
Then it took a man-sized shout
to carry on a conversation and
big Johnny Mize, whose ninth-
inning pinch single drove in the
winning runs, took care of that in
good style.
"I NEVER lIT 1.000 before,"
Mize yelled. "This World Series
stuff is all right. I only got six
hits all season for the Yankees and
now I've had two in the series."
Mize, it might be explained,
played nearly 11 seasons in the
National Lcagu ;'P. hout getting
into a World Series. The Yanks
signed him late this August.
Joe DiMaggio is having a miser-
able series at the olate. He's made
only one hit-a scratch single-in
three games and has already fan-
ned four times. He didn't hit a
fair ball all day. Twice he struck
out and twice he fouled out.
One of the most unusual fea-
tures of the third struggle was the
fact that Phil Rizzuto of, the
Yanks did not have a single chance
at shortstop. It tied a World Ser-
ies record. For the most part,
Byrne and then Page had the
Brooks either popping up or
clouting home runs.
