Unusual Incidents
Highlight Series
By Will Grimsley
Of fk» Attocitltd Pratt
NEW YORK iyP) High and low
spots of the 1955 World Se- j
ries:
Pitching star Johnny Podrea,
Brooklyn, who beat the Yankees
twice, clinching the series with
a 2-0 shutout in the final game.
Hitting star Duke Snider.
Brooklyn, whose four home
runs tied the record for a single
series and placed him third be
hind Babe Kuth, 15, and Lou
Gehrig, 10, in all-time homers
with nine.
Steadiest performer — Yogi
Berra, Yankees. He hit in each
of the seven games and led both
teams in batting With .417.
Biggest disappointment —
Don Newoombo, Brooklyn
pitcher, routed in first game
and never able to pitch again
because of minor ailments.
Outstanding play — Brooklyn
lefthander Sandy Amoros’ bril
liant high fly in the sixth in
ning of the final game and his
quick throw which doubled Gil
McDougald off first. This saved
two runs and took much of the
fight out of the Yankees.
Most electrifying incident —
Jackie Robinson’s steal of home
in home in the first game.
Best relief pitching — Clem
Labine, Brooklyn, went into four
games, allowed only six hits in
9 1/3 innings.
Screwiest incident—the act
of the overly zealous fans who
ran into centerfield In the
seventh inning of (hr seventh
game to try to get Duke Sni
der's autograph. He got a bum’s
rush instead.
Rookie standout Roger Craig,
surprise starter and winner of the
fifth game for Brooklyn, al
though relieved after six innings.
Longest single hit—Duke Sni
der's home run in the fifth in
ning of the third game, a power
ful wallop that carried far past
Bedford Avenue into a parking
lot.
Biggest boner—Pitcher John
ny Ruck’s failure to cover first
base in the fifth inning of t'|
fourth game when Pee Wee
Reese’s infield grounder set
up I>uke Snider’s throe-run
homer. Casey Stengel said it
was the most costly play in
Dodgers’ 8-5 win since he had
planned to walk Snider if
Reese had gone out.
Biggest comeback: Gil Hodges,
Dodger first basemtn, who was
the "bust” of the 1952 series
when he went hitless in 21 times
at bat, knocked in both runs in
Brooklyn’s 2-0 series-clinching
victory.
Best television performer —
Umpire Frank Dascoli, a John
Barrymore in blue serge.

West Virginia Club
Tops Offense List
By the Associated Press
West Virginia, with a two-pla
toon team and a three-man pitch
ing corps, is the nation's top
passing and ground-gaining foot
ball team after three weeks of
the major college season.
In the two games the Moun
taineers have played. West Vir
ginia Coach Art Lewis has alter
nated two teams by quarters and
has called on Freddy Wyant,
Alex Sxuch and Mickey Trimarki
to pass. The result has been two
victories, 464 yards gained
through the air and 483 on the
ground for a total offense aver
age of 473.r> yards per game.
Harvard Tops Offense
Harvard is the nominal total
offense leader with 510 yards —
419 by rushing in one game, a
60-6 rout of Massachusetts. Simi
larly, Boston College is listed
first in rushing in statistics
issued by the NCAA Service
Bureau Wednesday with 440
yards and third over-all with 469
on a one-game performance
against Brandeis. But among
the teams that have played two
or more games it's West Vir-,
ginia in the total figures and
Army and Oklahoma 1-2 in rush
ing offense.
Wyant has passed for 193 of
the West Virginia yards, Szuch
for 139 and Trimarki for 132.
Columbia, with one man,
Claude Benham. doing all the
throwing, is second in passing
with an average of 181.5 yards
a game to West Virginia's 232
average. Benham has completed
27 of 60 passes for 363 yards in !
two games. Holy Cross has
passed to seven touchdowns —j
one more than Mississippi—and
Wisconsin’s .593 completion per
centage is tops.
Cadets Rank High
In the running department.
Armv has averasred 394.5 yards
and Oklahoma 380 in two games
for each.
Boston College also is the
nominal defensive leader, having
held Brandeis to eight yards on
the ground and 96 overall. But
the two-game figures show Pur
due, Navy and Auburn on al
most even terms defensively.
Purdue has allowed its opponents
only 132 yards a game, Navy
132.5 and Auburn 133.
Holy Cross, the most passed
against college as well as one of
the passing leaders has restricted
its two opponents to an average
of 28.5 yards by rushing and
Maryland has allowed an aver-!
age of 58 rushing yards in three
games. Nebraska leads in pass
defense with a 23.7 yard average
in three games.
Pittsburgh's punters have av
eraged 45.9 yards on nine kicks
and that proficiency may be use-1
fill when Pitt plays Navy Satur
day.
Litchman Quoted

••njoy promoting?” Utchman’s
answer was, "Baseball. We have i
a good program which has given
us championship teams. Our stu
dents and townspeople give us
loyal support. Thousands attend.
Our teams are colorful. There’s
no problem promoting anything
that is a success, particularly
when it’s a great sport, like base
ball."

Badger Wingman
Lineman of Week
By th« Aitociated Prets
The first pass thrown to Dave
Howard this season resulted in
a Wisconsin touchdown and be
fore he finished last Saturday’s
Same against Iowa, the big
Badger right end had caught five
more, scored two more touch
lowns and equalled to Wisconsin
records.
As a result of that spectacular
performance, Howard was named
Wednesday as the second Asso
ciated Press lineman of the week
by sports writers and broadcast
ers. He edged out such brilliant
performers as Bruce Bosley of
West Virginia, Walt Laraway of
Clemson and Bo Boiinger of Ok
lahoma.
Howard, a 197-pound junior
from Mondovi, Wis., was a bit
oeeved when they didn't pass to
him in Wisconsin’s opening game
against Marquette. He made up
for that omission in the Iowa
game. Howard took a down-the
middle pass from quarterback
Jimmy Miller, cut for the side
lines and raced 44 yards to score.
Later he caught three passes
to set up Wisconsin's second
j score then made a flashy goal
line catch, picking the ball out
, of the hands of two Iowans cov
ering him, for the touchdown.
