Yanks Win World Series Dodgers Lose Fifth Game By 10-To-6 Score Major Credit For Series Triumph Given Reynolds, Page, Pitching Marvels 6 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, Ore Mon., Oct. 10, 1949 By JACK HAND. BROOKLYN, Oct. 10 P The New York Yankees, ol' Casey Stengel's "Invalids of destiny," won the World Series yesterday from the startled Brooklyn Dod gers for several reasons hut the most Important was the Reynold Page bullpen combination. Because he had the right relief men when he needed them most, Stengel led his assorted cripples to the winners' share of the jack pot $5,884 for each Yankee. Pitching usually tells the story of short series. It was no differ ent In the five-game 1949 set. Only this time it was the relief work of Allie Reynolds and Joe Page that stood out after the Yanks and Dodgers swapped 10 shutouts In the first two record breaking games. Certainly there were other stars: Bobby Brown for his .500 hatting average, Johnny Mlze for bis 1.000 pinch hitting, Tommy llenrich for the homer that won the opener and little Phil Rizuto lor his superlative shortstop play. But way out front there were the two "big" men of the Yanks' 12th series triumph in 16 tries Reynolds and Page. Page, of course, ran true to form. Hadn't he marched from the bullpen 60 times during the regular season, 20 of them to save Reynolds" Reynolds' brilliant performance of no runs and only two hits In 12 1-3 innings was a direct rightabout-face. "Old Wahoo" com pleted but four games in 31 starts. He even got the opening assignment on sort of a rain check. Pag Overcomes Handicap Things ended normally at Eb bets field yesterday afternoon with Page ambling In to finish what Raschl started. Woikln with only two days' rest, like Jsewoombe In Saturday's sad ef fort, Raschl crumbled In the Dod ger seventh. A 10-2 lead melted to 106. There was nobody on when Page walked In, But Gil Hodges had Just unloaded a three -run homer as a parting shot to Ras chl. The fireman was all alone. Boss Burt Shotton sent up Luis Olmo, a righthanded hatter, fur Dodger Marv Rackley, a left hander. Three hopping fast balls and the side was out. Nobody knew it until Page told It after the game, but Smoky Joe was throwing only fast halls he cause he Injured his hand Fri day. It didn't make much differ ence. The high hard one was plen ty hard. Pinch hitter Bruce Ed wards singled with one gone In the eighth. The next baiter. Pee Wee Reese hit a come back hall to Page, who started a double play. Page didn't let up In the ninth. He ended matters with a flourish. Following a menacing plnrh dou ble by Eddie Miksis, he whiffed Duke Snider, the most striking man In the series, and fanned Jackie Robinson. He lost Gene Hermanskl on a walk. Oil Hodges worked the county to 2 2 and beat the breeze on the next. That was all. When You Need You'll be way ahead by (ailing AMERICAN STEEL WAREHOUSE CO.

OP) Oregon State college had one victory safely stowed away In the Pacif ic coast conference football rec ords today because it used an old Michigan strategy Saturday and upset the University of Washing ton Huskies, 7 to 3. The battle plan was "a punt, a pass and a prayer," and Coach Kip Taylor, an ex Michlgander, followed it to triumph. Pushed, pounded, whacked and walked on for all but about five minutes of the game. State's Beavers kept kicking themselves out of trouble until they got one good break they could turn Into a touchdown. It came at the start of the final quarter, with the Beavers trail ing by three points. Washington was starting another of the many members which had carried the Huskies to the tally door time and again. Each time the O.S.C. defense had tightened to fight back the threat. Then Washington quarterback Don O'Leary sailed a pass over the line and Don Zarosklnskl hauled It down for O.S.C. on the Washington 5 and was dumped on the 40. Ken Carpenter, State's left halfback, whipped a pass to Dick Gray for 14 vards. Gray then hit the middle for three and Quarter Gene Morrow trnrsed to end John Thomas for 13 more.

Hager-Szasz Duo Defeats Knielson, Weaver On Mat By CHUCK PLUMMER Douglas county wrestling fans saw one of the best tag team matches performed In the Rose burg ring for a long time Satur day night at the armory, when Tex Hager and Al Szasz walloped villains Buck Weaver and Stocky Knielson. In the program opener, newcomer Dan Dugan decisloned rough Billy McEuin twoout-of-three falls. The opening fall in the main event was all Hager and Szasr, as the popular duo climbed all over Weaver and Knielson. Hager started the action off with - se ries of headlocks that had Weav er so groggy he went to the wrong corner to tag. After Hager became tired, he tagged Szasz who applied the same headlock to Weaver's dome and Weaver could do nothing but walk around in a daze. Finally, Knielson grabbed Weaver's leg, dragged him into the corner and tagged him. Then the bearded wrestler came up behind Szasz and started slugging him around the ring. Szasz final ly wandered into his corner and tagged Hager, who retaliated for Szasz by promptly putting the whammy on Knielson. After 13 minutes of wild action, Hager threw Knielson with a series of flying mares and tagged Szasz. Szasz promptly applied his mous arm whips and won the fall with an arm stretch. The rough duo won the second fall when they started alternate!. picking Szasz up and throwing him bodily to the mat. Weawr first threw him, then tagged Knielson, who proceeded to pick him up and throw him around some more until finally Weaver won the fall with a body press. Midway In the second fall, Weav er maneuvered Szasz over Into the corner with a full-nelson ar.d Knielson promptly smacked him In the face, but when Szasz invit ed him out to fight it out, the bearded villain seemed to have lost interest. " Odd Tactics In Finale Hager and Szasz were again all over Weaver and Knielson in the final canto and they won it In a very exciting and queer finish. First the popular duo alternated flying mares on Weaver, hut Weaver caught Szasz napping and applied a neck cracker. Ha ger reached over the ropes and tagged Szasz and referee Elton Owen patted Weaver's back to signify the tag. Weaver thought Szasz had given up and raised his arm In victory hut Hager planted a flying dropkick on Weaver's chest and took the fall with a body press. Hager really hit Weaver hard with the drop kick, as fans could hear Weav er's neck pop. Szasz probably ended up with a very sore back after taking punishment on mat smashes In the second and final falls. In the opener, Dugan took the first fall from McEuin in 11 min utes with a body press. McL'uin was busy throwing Dugan with flying mares, when Dugan caught him off guard and hit him with a dropkick and leaped on with a body press. McEuin retaliated In the sec ond in only three minutes with a half Boston crab. Dugan appear ed to have a very sore leg and J. N. BOOR OUTBOARD MOTORS . Gdn. Vally. Ri PI..

Sherwood had nothing but prJise for the way his Indians performed against Reedsport Friday night In hand ing the Braves a 38 0 setback. When asked about the team's performance following the game, Sherwood termed the Friday night contest the best this year'i team has played so far this sea son. "Sure, we made mistakes, but fewer than usual," Sherwood said. "The boys seemed sure of themselves. They Just went out and did the Job." Judging from the way Rose burg players blocked, tackled and ran. Sherwood's comment is pure understatement. An error In Saturday's game write-up credited Van Horn with the touchdown which followed Weber's run and lateral on a punt return. Ronnie Strlckling, Roseburg quarterback, was the boy who received Weber's later al and scored the touchdown. However, Van Horn did feature In the play by throwing a double block which removed the last two tacklers between Strickling and the goal line. Sherwood said the major stress in this week's practice sessions would he placed on tactics de signed to stop a talented Marsh field team, rated the best In Dis trict 3 competition. The Indians meet Marshfield there Friday night. Warriors Lose To Grants Pass In Lop-Sided Game The Roseburg J-V Warriors lost another football game by a lopsided score Saturday after noon, as Coach Norm West con tinued the new policy of stress ing experience first, in an effort to provide future varsity teams witn wen-trained players. Grant Pass ran up a 3412 win over the Warriors by sticking fairly close to a two-team com bination. In contrast, everv Rose burg Junior Varsity candidate earnea playing time during the contest. The local boys held their own against a more experienced op ponent for the first part of the game, with Grants Pass holding only a 7-6 edge when the first half ended. However, the Junior Cavemen scored almost at will during the final half as West sent reserves Into the contest. Jerry Sconce scored the Initial Roseburg touchdown, plunging over from the one-vard line after Grants Pass drew first blood with a successful end run. Lloyd Stumbo accounted for the other J-V score late In the fourth quarter, scoring on a tack le "trap." play from the five. All Grants Pass scores came on end runs and rushing plays over the tackle positions. Interesting sidelight on Rose burg's second touchdown came after West discovered the War riors scored with only ten men on the field. The rules state that both teams must start the con test with eleven men, but that fewer than that number may be used "If desired." Other mem bers of the Roseburg coaching staff are not likely to let West forget that one-half of the War riors' points came with less than a full team In action. PORTLAND U.

Correct score of that game was 46-6. gave up quickly when the hold was applied. Fans witnessed a new hold In the final canto, which Dugan calls a "full-nelson swing." Firsl Dugan applied the hold, then twirled McEuin around and threw him with a flying mare and Jump ed on him with a body press to take the fall in three minutes, 33 seconds. A poor crowd turned out for the matches and many can be sure they missed a brilliant wrestling exhibition in the two bouts.
