Clutch Single Gives Yanks Series Record
New York—(U.P.)—A record-tying single by two basestar Billy Martin with Hunk Bauer, who had walked, on second, yesterday, gave the New York Yankees the sixth and deciding game of the World Series, and an unprecedented fifth straight world crown.
The winning blow came in the bottom of the ninth innning off relief pitcher Clem Labine after the spunky Dodgers bounded off the ropes in top of the巾试刺 in toting a game title of length of Carl Furillo's 2-run homer.
The Yanks, behind the steady pitching of southpaw Whitey Ford, coasted through the first seven innings with a 3-1 lead, but Allie Reynolds replaced Ford to start the eighth. The Big Chief disposed of the losers without much trouble in the eight, but the final inning was Sidney Moore, with the final inneting set the stage for Furillo's "Frank Merriwell" spasb.
Reynolds worked the count on the National league batting champion to 3 and 2. Then on the payoff pitch the big right fielder connected to send the crowd of 62,370 into a frenzy. Reynolds retired the next three hitters and the Yanks came up for their knocks.
Hank Bauer led off that frame by drawing a pass on a full count. After Yogi Berra popped up, Mickey Mantle beat out a slow roller to third sacker Billy Cox. Then up stepped Martin who needed 1 only baseball to be served at 2 bats high in a series. The first offering was a ball, but the second was spanked over second into center to plate Bauer easily.
The Bronx Bombers got off fast with a 2-run outburst in the opening inning. They added another in the second as Phil Rizzuto singled to left to begin things. Ford followed with a lazy blooper 1-baser to center, with the Scooter going to third, where he tagged up and scored onoodling's fly out.
The first Dodger tally was scored by Jackie Robinson in the sixth. The Negro left fielder laced a wicked double to left, and then, with Roy Campanella batting, he took a long lead on Ford to steal third easily. He then scored as Camphy grounded to Rizzuto.
The victors outstret Brooklyn 13 to eight in the game, in which the lights had to be turned on in the eighth inning. In the six games the two teams collected 120 hits to top the old mark of 115, and the total base output—200—was far above the old standard. Furillo's 4-bagger was the 17th, another new mark, and the lone error by the Yankees was a new low for six games.
KU Swim Team Gets New Coach
Doug Wall, former coach in Oklahoma and now a law student at the University, yesterday was named varsity swimming coach for this year.
Wall, who earned his degree in education here in 1950, coached last year at Phillips Petroleum company, Bartlesville, and Bartlesville high school.
At Iola High school he lettered in football as a fullback in 1942, 1943 and 1944, and as a guard in basketball in 1944. He replaces Phil Krutzsch, who now is an instructor at Pittsburgh university.

TrampledDodgersHold Glum Post-Game Wake
New York—(U.P.)—Pee Wee Reese, looking every bit as woebegone as he felt, summed up the bitterness of the dejected Dodgers in one despairing question—"What do you have to do to beat the Yankees?"
"I don't know what the answer is," the Dodger captain said, answering his own question in a voice that echoed hollowly with futility. "I've been trying to find it for 12 years now.
"Wait 'till next year," said Reese, quoting the old Dodger rallying cry. "Who knows? Maybe I won't even be here next year. Anything can happen in this racket, you know."
By anything, Pee Wee apparently meant anything but a Dodge triumph over the lordly Yankees in the World Series. Reese has been a member of all five Dodge teams that have clashed with the Yankees in the fall classic and lost every time-1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, and now 1953.
"Let's face it," said the shortstop. "We just didn't have enough."
STUDIO
That was a strange but true summary of a team that had been called the "greatest Dodger team in history" as it clinched the National league pennant at the earliest date in league history, set a new team record in the series in years and smashed records almost every day as it collected the second largest season homer total in baseball history.
"It was a wonderful season," ighed catcher Roy Campanella. "But it ended in a heap of nothing."
There was real shock for one Dodger-gritty little Clem Labine, he relief pitcher who served up the hit that made Billy Mackey a Yankees slapped for the series-winning single in the ninth inning of the inale.
Slumped on his dressing room
stool with his head sunk low, Labine shook off all questioners with a wave of the hand and mumbled, "No, no, I just don't want to talk."
Kansas State's revitalized Wildcats were the talk of the Big Seven football circuit today, following their stunning 27-0 drubbing of Nebraska.
HuskerDefeat Lifts K-State
Bv UNITED PRESS
Next for Kansas State will be Iowa State Saturday at Ames. But even if the Wildcats are mediocre the rest of the year, they will have provided one of the year's high spots with their job on the Huskers. It was their first Big Seven win since 1942.
Other games coming up will match Missouri and SMU at Dallas in a Friday night special; Oklahoma against Texas, also at Dallas; Kansas at Colorado, and Nebraska at Pittsburgh.
The big one should be the Oklahoma-Texas clash in the annual football feature of the Texas State fair. Oklahoma got itself involved in a 7-7 deadlock with Pittsburgh Saturday, a week after the Sooners yielded to Notre Dame. But nobody sells Oklahoma short in the midlands.
Tuesday, Oct. 6, 1953
Missouri is showing signs of early power and should give SMU a busy night. The Tiger was impressive in a 27-16 win over Colorado Saturday. Colorado may be favored slightly over Kansas, and Pitt will be expected to beat Nebraska.
Jolliffe, Stephenson, Oread Register Opening IM Wins
First round wins in Independent "A" intramural football were registered yesterday by Jolliffe and Stephenhalls halls in Division I, and Oread hall in Division II. Pearson hall in Division I and Don Henry in Division II drew byes, while a fourth game between Twin Pines and NROTC was cancelled.
Stephenson 13, Battenfeld 12
After battling to a 12-12 tie at the end of four quarters, Stephenson went into overtime to edge Battenfeld 13-12. Stephenson's first 6-pointer resulted as Les Callahan connected with Ivan Watkins to hit pardirt.
Al Lavin notched the second tally when he grabbed a stray Battenfeld aerial and went all the way. Passes from Ed Wall to Ferrel Standate provided both Battenfeld counters.
In the overtime period Stephenson was declared to have gained the most yardage in their four downs which gave them the victory. The game was protested by Battenfeld because of the close decision and the final result rests in the hands of the intramural officials.
Jolliffe 12. Sterling-Oliver 6
Jolline 12. Sterling-Oliver 6
Counting two touchdowns in the first half Jolline held on to score a 12-6 victory over Sterling-Oliver. The passing combination of Don Flary and Ivo Fuerborn accounted for both Jolline tallies. In the first stanza Flary found Fuerborn in the clear and connected for the TD
Fuerbier took over the passing chores in the second period and hit Flary with what proved to be the winning score.
Sterling-Oliver's counter was set up in the third quarter when Bill Clow blocked a Jolliffe punt. A few plays later Charles Wertz passed to Larry Gouy for the score.
In the final game of the day, Oread gained a 1-0 forfeit over ISA-"A". Today's action finds Jim Beam vs. Lahona and ISA-"B" vs. NROTC in Division III of the Independent "A" league. Fraternity "B" play will find Kappa Sigma vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Phi Gamma Delta vs. Delta Tau Delta.
Montreal Royals (Dodger Club) Beat Blues Again
Montreal —(UP)— The Brooklyn
Dodgers could take a cue from their
Montreal Royal farmhands today
when it comes to series competition.
The "Little Dodgers" won their third straight game in the Little World series last night from the Kansas City Blues and now need only one more victory to wrap up the minor leagues' most coveted championship.
Southpaw Tommy Lasorda stopped Kansas City, the Yankees' Am-American Association farm club, with eight hits as the Royals won the third game of the best-of-seven series 5 to 3.
Glen (Rocky) Nelson, the Royals' first baseman who was bought by the Cleveland Indians last week, collected two hits to raise his series average to an even .800.
The series resumes tomorrow night at Kansas City.
