Hodges Near
Gehrig Total
(Editor's Not: Gil Hodges
slammed out a singl and two
doubles Friday to drive in
four runs in a 13-8 Brooklyn
victory thai put the Dodgers
two games up on the Yankees
in the World Series. In the
following dispatch, he tells
how he did it.)
By GIL HODGES
As Told to The United Press
Brooklyn (U.RJ You can
never tell about anything in
baseball and that goes double in
a World Series.
Remember that 1952 series
against the Yankees? I'll never
forget it. That's the one where i
couldn't buy a nil in 21 times up.
In this one so far, I've driven in
a total of seven runs and they
tell me Lou Gehrig holds the
Series record with nine RBI s.
Well, don't worry about It, be
cause his record probably will
.stand up.
Wear Self Out
That's what I mean about
World Series games being so un
predictable. You wear the ball
out one day and the next day
all vou do is wear yourself out
For me, though, this was the
biggest day in a series, only it 11
be a lot bigger if we can go on
to win two more games.
Of the three hits I got- Friday,
the second one my first double
off Tom Morgan in the fourth
inning gave me the biggest
boot because it drove in the two
runs that broke a 7-7 tie. I pick
ed out a good curve ball on that
one.
An inning later, when I got
my second double, I hit a sinker.
McLoughlin

Mcoughlin Junior high's ninth

quarter and for one in the sec

march ended with Curtis Salt
marsh goaling on a six-yard
plunge and Skip Bennett run
ring the extra point.
Pass Scores
A 27-yard pass play, Bennett
to Ray Konopasek, was the pay
off of a 55 to 60-yard push and
Salmarsh crossed with the ex
tra. Dick Reams recovered a
fumble on the Crater 40. The
Bulldog surge concluded with
Bob Hamilton traveling the last
ix yards. Bennett ran for a
conversion.
; McLoughlin gained 185 yards
i rushing to Crater's 55 and had
live first downs to the Comet
team's one.
Reams, 230-pounder, sparked
the line on defense and Ben
nett proved a hard hitter for the
Bulldogs both ways.

Talent Turns
Fumble Into
Winning TD
Rogue River Dick Bradford

Chieftain end zone for the win
ning touchdown in the fourth
quarter here Friday night as
Talent chalked up a 13 to 7 Jack

The ball rolled over the pay

one-yard line in the second quar
ter to end a 60-yard campaign
for the Chief TD. Fred Hopper

It was the first Talent football

129. In the air RR gained 67 and
Talent only two. Rogue River

I Do If
'Old Folks'
Helps Yanks
(Editor's note: Forty-year-old
Enos (Country) Slaughter)
powered the Yankees to their
first World Series victory over
the Dodgers Saturday and he
tells about it in the following
dispatch.
By ENOS SLAUGHTER
(As Told To The United Press)
New York (U.R) Some of
the guys call me "Old Folks'
but I felt prouder than a high
school kid on graduation day
when I saw that ball sail into
the seats in the sixth.
It wouldn't be exactly right
to say that Saturday's homer
gave me the biggest kick of my
baseball career because, truth
fully speaking, I get a great
thrill out of every hit I'm lucky
enough to collect.
Extra Special
But I'd be fibbing if I didn't
own up that the homer meant
something a little extra special
for me. You know, I'm getting
toward the second half of my
career, so to speak, and you
like . to prove you can still do
it, even though they call you
"Old Folks."
That homer against Roger
Craig was the third one I've hit
in World Series competition
The other two came while I was
still with the Cardinals. I hit
my first series homer off Red
Ruffing of the Yankees in 1942
and the last one I hit before
this one was against Tex Hugh-
son of the Red Sox in 1946.
Kind of a long time between
homers, wasn't it?
The ball I hit off Craig Sat
urday was down a low, fast
ball, I think. All I know is that
it was down.

Iowa, outfought for the first
three periods, struck for two
quick touchdowns in the fourth
quarter Saturday to defeat stub
born Oregon State, 14-13, before
41,000 fans in sunny Iowa sta
dium.
The Hawkeyes, favored by 13
points, scored on passes of 10
and 33 yards within a period of
two minutes late in the game to
whip the 1955 Pacific Coast
runers-up.
The deciding margin was two
conversions booted by second
team end Bob Prescott.
Fumbles and pass intercep
tions played an important part
in the final outcome. Iowa
fumbled the opening kickoff and
Oregon State recovered. On the
second play from scrimmage,
halfback Joe Francis sailed a
30-yard pass into a 25-mile-an-
hour tailwind to Earnel Durden
for a touchdown. Iowa guard
rank Bloomquist broke through
to block the conversion attempt.
In the third period, the Ore
gon State forward wall opened
a big hole in the left side of the
Iowa line and halfback Paul
Lowe scooted through for 49
yards and the second Oregon
State touchdown.
Iowa began its first touchdown
march on the Oregon State 45
where a wind-blown punt went
out of bounds. Fullback John
Nocera, a 210-pound battering
ram, almost alone carried the
Hawkeyes to the Oregon State
10 and then threw a pass to
end Frank Gilliam for the touch
down.
Iowa kicked off and this time
it was Oregon State's turn to
fumble. The Hawks recovered
on the Oregon State 31, wasted
two plays and then hit paydirt
again on a 33-yard pas from
Sophomore quarterback Randy
Duncan to end Jim Gibbons.
Oregon State, which now has
lost two of three starts, almost

game. Tackle Alex Karras

7-5 Over NY
New York (U.R) Despite
their loss Saturday to the New
York Yankees, the Brooklyn
Dodgers remained favorites to
win the World Series at new
odds of 7-5 in man-to-man bet
ting. After winning the first two
games, Brooklyn was an 8-5 fa
vorite. However, the Yankees were
the favorites to win Sunday's
game at 7V4-5 in man-to-man
betting. These odds were based
on any pitcher but Sal Maglie
going for the Dodgers. Manag
er Walter Alston announced
that he would start Carl Ers
kine. Had Maglie been his selection
the odds favoring the Yankees
for Sunday's game would 'have
been reduced to 6V4-5 man-toman.
