With that 3-2 lead grinning down from the scoreboard, Man- tle knocked home an "extra" run In the top of the seventh.- This was a tense struggle that opened with a rapid fire pitching battle between lefty Ed Lopat and Joe Black and wound iup in a 2 hour and 54 minute battle that used up seven pitchers-four Yanks and three Brooks. . * .* GIL HODGES, in a horrible slump all through the series, hit the ball hard on all four trips in this last game, but it did no good. He went into the book with two others who went 0 for 21 in a Series-Billy Sullivan of the White Sox hitless wonders in 1906 and Jack Murray of the 1911 Giants. They both did it in six games, howeyer. For heroes, the Yankees can .present Mantle with his .345 batting average, and Mize's three great homers and his "almost" fourth in the Sunday game. Then there is Woodling, playing de- spite a groin injury. And Rey- nolds' ever-ready arm. On the Brooklyn side, Snider was a standout with four home runs equalling the Series' records set by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

' Reese had a brilliant series at bat and afield and Black, of course, was tremendous in his first two start, winning the opener 4-2 and fourth game. * * *. THE NATIONAL League hasn't won a Series since 1946 when the St. Louis Cards whipped the Bos- ton Red Sox in seven games. The count now stands 32-17 in favor of the American. NOTEWORTHY FIGURES-In the 1952 World Series include Yankee Manager Casey Stengel (left) who piloted the Bronx Bombers to their fourth title in as many years; Mickey Mantle (center), who paced the victors with a .345 batting average and Dodger first sacker Gil Hodges (right), who was the hitting goat of the Series with nothing for twenty-one times at bat. DRESSING ROOM DOPE: HilaityFustration Mark CluhDouses BROOKLYN-(VP)-"We can al- ways win on the road," shouted Casey Stengel and a roar of cheers and laughter swept through the jam - packed, hilarious Yankee dressing room. The American League cham- pions had just won their fourth straight World Series Champion- ship in seven games that for dra- ma, thrills, and fine plays must go down as one of the best. ** * COMMISSIONER Ford Frick fought his way through the crowd to shake Stengel's hand followed by Manager Chuck Dressen of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who managed a brave smile. "I'm glad for you to get what you got," said Dressen. "I want you to hear what I just been saying about you and your team," Stengel barked hoarsely. * * * "I CAN'T say anything against the club we beat. We won by just that," said Casey and held his To Cope with Indiana Passes Twice defeated and anxious to break into the win column, Mich- igan's football team ran through a light practice yesterday sharp- ening up the offense and defense for the Conference opener against Indiana here Saturday. The defensive unit worked against a scrub team utilizing the Hoosier T-formation offense, with pass defense again getting the major emphasis. The coaching staff utilized almost every back on the squad in the secondary in an attempt to remedy the defect which has caused the defeat of the Wolverines for the past two weeks. - RUSS RESCORLA, Dave Tink- ham Tom Witherspon, dFred Bob Hurley and Stan Knicker- bocker all saw action in the de- fensive backfield. The first-string defensive line also worked out against the Indiana offense - readying themselves to stop Hoos- ier Lou D'Achille before he can fill the air with passes. The offensive dummy scrim- inage was sparked by the fine passing of Ted Topor, Ted Kress and Duncan McDonald and the impressive receiving of ends Bob Topp and Bob Dingnian. Kress and Ed Hickey looked sharp on running plays, moving from the tailback and wingback spots respectively. A sidelight of the practice which may prove all-important before the week is up was an ankle sprain suffered by Captain Merritt Green, the first string defensive left end. Green was helped off the field and If his Injury proves serious, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan will have a hard time strengthening his left flank. FRANK HOWELL, hobbled by a knee injury sustained in the game against Michigan State, took a light workout but didn't do any hard running. His right leg is still swathed in bandages, and the shifty wingback from -Muskegon Heights is still on the doubtful list for the game with the Hoosters Saturday. Stan Knickerbocker and Tony Branoff saw action in Howell's vacated right halfback slot, and they probably will share the berth with Ed Hickey against Indiana. Both Branoff and- Knickerbocker saw action against Stanford, with Branoff, the highly-touted freshman from Flint scoring a touchdown which was called back because of a penalty. Replacing the injured Ralph Stribe at the offensive right tackle slot yesterday was Don Bennett, junior from Chicago. The 6' 2", 195 pound Bennett has a big task ahead of him in filling the spot where Stribe operated so effective- ly and devastatingly. ' forefinger and thumb up a half inch apart. Joe Black, the big Dodger rookie, shoved up and shook Stengel's hand solemnly. "I seen you talk on television and I seen you pitch out there," said Stengel. "You're wonderful." BOB KUZAVA, whose relief pitching staved off the late threat of the Dodgers, slipped into the jammed dressing room almost un- noticed but he wasn't here 30 seconds before the photographers and reporters gathered about him yelling for pictures and asking questions-. , , DODGERS BROOKLYN-('P)-"They didn't miss Joe DiMaggio," said Jackie Robinson. "It wvas that Mantle, that Mickey Mantle killed us. "If it hadn't been for him I think this would have been a very different series." *, * * THE BROOKLYN second base- man sat in a deserted corner of the fulleareal Brooklyn dressing room, a picture of frustration that seemed to envelop all of these athletes who had knocked on the door of baseball's world cham- pionship and had seen it rudely shut in their faces.

Hi hide his bitter disappointment. * ** "WE CAME so close," he said. "We had so many opportunities. But Mantle was the difference." Seven feet away, sitting on his locker stool, was Joe Black, the giant rookie who went to the mound three times against the mighty Yankees, beat them the first time but failed in the other two. "It gnaws at you. It tears you inside," Black said. "We got so many men on base. We kept say- ing to ourselves 'This is it' and then there was that let down. "IT WOULD have been better if we had had our brains knocked out, lost 10-0. We would have felt better about it." Manager Charlie Dressen was late making his appearance. He and Brooklyn's President, Wal- ter O'Malley, ivent first to the Yankee dressing room to pay their respects to the champions. "We felt every minute we would get back in the ball game," Dres- sen said. Ruins Gamer hDETROI ~ /)-Collge athetics they're just as overemphasized to- day as when the college presidents began their cleanup program last winter. That's what Fritz Crisler, Ath- letic Director of the University of Michigan said yesterday. * * * HE ALSO rapped one phase of the college presidents' cleanup pro- gram-abolition of spring prac- tice. "There have been no improve- ments in any phase of the ath- letic situation since the pro- gram started as far as I can ob- serve," Crisler, former Michigan football coach, told the Michi- gan Chapter of the Football 'Writers' Association yesterday. "Michigan hasn't made any changes as a result of the program, other than to cut the number of spring practice sessions." said Crisler. * * * he said. He said that meant many ment and said 'that the school, of course, was requiring qualitative progress toward a degree instead of merely quantitative progress. In other words, athletes must main- tain a certain grade level instead of merely a certain number of hours credit-. Crisler questioned whether the curb on spring practice was a good thing for student athletes. "It's inevitable that coaches will devote time only to those blue chip men who they know will produce," he said. He sai dthat meant many other promising young athletes would be deprived of a chance to play some football, I'm very strong for as much football training as possible- 150 pound, freshman, junior varsity, and so on. "We've developed a high degree of specialization in recruiting and we're all in it. Those we go after get a chance to play. The others don't come out," he said. Crisler said in the old days 15 or 20 stu- dents who weren't invited would come out for the team some years. Today it's only two or three, he "W hen I leave football I want to say that I left it better than don' know if I col 1say "tha.

Alpha Delta Phi scored its two touchdowns oni a 25 yard pass from Roger Mulier to Gor- die Matthews and Bob Carpen- ter's toss to Mulier. Another high scoring game was Phi Sigma Delta's 25-0 shutout over Sigma Nu. Phi Sig's ace Phil Barad led his team to victory pass- ing twice to Pete Katz, and then to Bob Paley. He also pitched one to Ivan Kahn for an extra point. Hoosier Liea BLOOMINGTON (A') -Indiana University's football team suffered a heavy blow yesterday when vet- eran tackle Pete Russo was lost for the season. Russo suffered a back injury on the kickoff against Iowa Saturday, but played and took part in squad exercises Monday. But after read- ing X-ray pictures Tuesday Dr. Charles Holland, team physician, waved Russo out with compression and fracture of a vertebra.
