(
Stengel-Yank Dynasty Looms as
GevsYorkersTakeChampionship
By LEO H. PETERSEN
(uniud Pre Bporu Wrttari
New York, Oct It OJ.K) a
if Yankee baseball dynasty
appeared to be in the making
today with Charles Dillon Sten
gel aa the head man.
He came through with a world
aeries championship in his first
year back in the majors and the
miracles he performed with his
New York Yankees left them sit
ting on top of the baseball world.
As Manager Burt Shotton of
the defeated Brooklyn Dodgers
observed :
"Not even the Lord could
have done a better job wltb
the Yankees than old Casey."
"They had just a little bit
more all the way around than
we did," Shotton continued.
And that pretty well summed
up the 1949 series which came
to an end yesterday when the
Yankees battered the Dodgers
10 to 6 at Ebbets field to close
out the classic, four games to
one.
It was the climax to one of
the greatest dramas in baseball
history the saga of a never-say-die
bunch of guys who made
up in spirit and aggressiveness
what they lacked in talent.
Most of the credit, of course,
goes to Stengel who took a
misfit club, got It off in first
place in the American league
pennant race and then staved
off a stretch run by the Boston
Red Sox to win out.
Few thought the Yankees had
any chance. To begin with they
lost their sparkplug, Joe DiMag
gio, for the first half of the sea
son because of a heel spur. And
injury piled on injury after that.
How Stengel kept his team up
there will long remain one of
the great feats of the game. This
was not a Yankee team in the
old Yankee tradition. It lacked
power; it had no Babe Ruths or
Lou Gehrigs. But it did have a
bunch of players who out-hustled
every other club in the bu
siness. That's why they are world
champions today.
Now the Yankee record
shows that they have been in
16 world series and have won
12 of them. To each member
of this gallant 1949 band the
triumph was worth about 15,
800, while each losing Dodger
share was about $4100.
The story of the series was
told in relief pitching.
The Yankees got it, Brooklyn
did not.
Joe Page, the peerless left
hander, was the No. 1 Yankee
man in that department, but he
had helptfrom Allie Reynolds.
That was as it should be, for all
season long Page had done more
to make Reynolds a winning
pitcher than anyone else. He
saved game after game for the
Cherokee Indian.
Reynolds didn't need his help
in the series, for he won his on
ly start, 1 to 0, in that historic
opening game. But Reynolds
was the only Yankee pitcher who
went the distance.
Three times Stengel called on
Page and once on Reynolds
when his starters faltered, and
each time they came through.
Yesterday it was Pag
again. He came in to keep the
game safe for Raschi, the 21
game winning righthander
who was pitching h I s third
game in a week. Raschi whip
ped the Boston Red Sox on
the final day of the season a
week ago Sunday to give the
Yankees the American league
pennant; then he lost the sec
ond game of the series to
Preacher Roe, 1 to 0.
Raschi weakened badly yes
terday, but not until his mates
scored 10 big runs. When Sten
gel replaced him with Page, on
ly a four-run lead remained to
the Yanks. That was plenty with
Page on the job.
Sharing hero honors with
Raschi and Page were Bobby
Brown, the golden boy whose
bat ruined the Dodgers in the
1947 series, and that Yankee
clipper, Joe DIMaggio.
Weakened by a two-weeks ill
ness, the Clipper finally got go
ing yesterday and his home run
was one of the big blows in the
Yankee victory.

Mid-West Grid Leadership
New York, Oct. 10 If) The
middle west's three-year doml-
nancy in college football, shaken
with the defeat of mighty Mich
igan by Army, may get another
jolt this week.
Notre Dames fighting Irish,
who since 1945 have been bat
tling with Michigan for top hon
ors, is host to luianes green
wave in a game that may turn
the standings upside down.
Coach Frank Leahy of the
Irish has tabbed the southern
ers as the toughest assignment
his athletes have faced in
many a moon. He warned long
ago that this is the game No
tre Dame is most likely to
lose.
Tuiane has already bowled
over two of the stoutest elevens
in its own bailiwick Albany by
28-14 and Georgia Tech 18-0. It
won easily over a breather foe
Saturday, brushing aside little
Southeastern Louisiana, 40-0.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS AND FEATURES
Salem, Oregon, Monday, October 10, 1949
the five-man-line name who tu
tors the Green wave, is regarded
as one of the finest "pointers"
in the business. He has pointed
to this particular game.
Notre Dame will be protecting
one of the longest unbeaten
streaks in modern football. The
Irish haven't been licked, though
they've experienced ties, since
Great Lakes subdued them in
1945. Last Saturday the Irish,
sparked by Emil Sitko, romped
over Purdue, 35-12.
Not since Army's great war
time teams were rampant has
anyone outside the middle
west had a look-in for na
tional championship honors.
Notre Dame replaced army as
the No. 1 team in the Associated
Press poll in 1946 and 1947.
Michigan, which beat out Notre
Dame in a post-season poll in
1947, was declared the best team
in the land last year.

poll last week also, goes against

Casey Says Yanks
'Just Starting'
New York, Oct. 10 U.R A
mighty proud and deeply moved
Casey Stengel, addressing 500
friends and fans at a victory ral
ly for the new world champions
that lasted into the early hours,
said today that his team was
"just starling" and added he ex
pects to be around for the 1950
season.
"This club is just starting,"
said Casey as a spotlight played
over his graying hairs. "I may
stay another year with it, but if
they had lost, I was gone."
Stengel said when he replaced
Bucky Harris as Yankee mana
ger at the start of this season,
the Yankees received him "as a
manager who was not supposed
to know anything." It is a trib
ute to them that they overcame
that. "They have the best spirit,
the best teamwork, and they are
the most unselfish group that
has ever been put together."

Beavers Upset Huskies
On Punt, Pass, Prayer
Seattle. Oct. 10 () Oregon
state College had one victorv
safely stowed away in the Pa
cific coast conference football
records today because it used an
old Michigan strategy Saturday
and upset . the University of
Washington Huskies, 7 to 3.
The battle plan was "a punt.
a pass and a prayer," and Coach
Kip Taylor, an ex-Michigander,
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
trailing by three points. Wash
ington was starting another of
the many marches which had
carried the Huskies to the tally
door time and again. Each time
the OSC defense tightened to
fight back the threat.
The Washington quarterback
Don O'Leary sailed a pass over
the line and Don Zarosinski
hauled it down for OSC on the
Washington 45 and was dumped
on the 40. Ken Carpenter,
State's great left halfback, whio-
oed a pass to Dick Gray for 14
yards.
Gray then hit the middle for
three and quarter Gene Mor
row tossed to end John T.io
mas for 13 more. Carpenter
sliced five and an offside pen
alty put the ball on the Wash
ington one. Big Ken bowled
over and the game was In the
bag, with Stan McGuire's
placekick tacking on an un
necessary point.
Twice Washington tried field
goals and Jim Rosenzweig toed
his second effort midway in the
third quarter. He was called in
when the Husky attack stallpd
on the Beaver four-yard line. He
had missed one in the second
period, kicking from the 30.
Washington made 20 first
downs to 8 for OSC and netted
390 scrimmage yards to 150.

two weeks of idleness insofar
as outside competition is con
cerned. Their next encounter is

The Coyotes, with Wln

work of Keith Sperry was par
