Red Rolfe shot a single to right-center and Tommy Henrich bounced one into the same spot. Rolfe stopped at second, and Joe DiMaggio, gripping his bat down near the handle and taking a wide stance, stood up at the plate as though he meant business. He did, too, for, after fouling off four pitches and running the count to three and two, he slashed a single over second base. Rolfe scampered home with the first run of the game and Henrich went all the way to third. French Curbs Uprisingf Charlie Keller then gave Casey the knockout punch by singling to center, scoring Henrich.

The fact that the Yankees had made four straight hits off Casey finally convinced Manager Leo Durocher of the Dodgers that his relief pitcher just didn't have it today. Casey retired and Larry French came in and forced Bill Dickey to hit into a double play. The Dodgers came roaring back ting the stage for Steve Hudacek's field goal rom the SMU 18.

It was a dull, drab game until the start of the final period.

Then the Mustangs, almost helpless on offense up to that point, strung together a touchdown and a field goal which forced Fordham to come from behind first to tie the score at 10-10 and then to score the clincher on a desperat pass in the final minute. 'Slinging' Steve' Does It The second hand on the big electric clock was spinning crazily when Filipowicz who had pitched his mates to their nrst tally in the second period went into action. Fordham had kicked off after booting the tying field goal and Hardy Miller, SMU halfback, fumbled away the ball on his own 47 to give the Rams the break they needed. Filipowicz passed once, incomplete, but the Mustangs were penalized five yards for holding. Twice the Rams hit the line without effect and were pushed back five yards on a penalty.

On the sixth play of the series, Howie Maley passed to Kelly Simpson for the touchdown.
