Johnny Korczowski, 190-pound senior fullback from Hopelawn, N. is being groomed by Coach Carl Voyles to do the passing for the William and Mary Indians, only remaining undefeated Virginia "big six" team and a Southern Conference favorite, when the Tribe goes to Cambridge, cn NEW YORK, Oct. 6. UPlA bunch of St. Louis Cardinals came bustling out of Yankee Stadium, still boisterous at winning the world series, brushed off the cab drivers and headed for the subway and the nickel ride back to their hotel.

CSV-Johnny Beazley was about ready to quit baseball two years ago after three seasons as a bush leaguer whose back hurt every time he cut loose with his fast one. "I took him to a doctor," Charles A. Hurth, business manager of New Orleans' Southern Association club related today, "and the doc said if he would have his tonsils out, he'd be fit as a fiddle." That's just what he did, and the doc was right By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Oct 6.

If it were not for the probability that the war will break it up, the St. Louis Cardinals club that completed the job of wrecking the New York Yankees yesterday might within the next few years go tearing on to win ranking with the greatest teams in baseball history.

Korczowski did a lot of pitching when he was a sophomore, and Voyles is having the beefy pack limber up his throwing arm again in an effort to bolster William and Mary's aerial game, dimmed by the injury of Jackie Freeman.

The Citadel, getting ready for Saturday's game with George Washington, may find it necessary to shift Bill Bell back to center duties along with Eddie Overman because of the loss of center and end Jim Kennedy.

Kennedy may be out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury. Coach Doc Newton told the North Carolina State Wolfpack that "you played pretty good ball" in defeating Clemson 7-6 last week, "but we're still muffing too many chances to score.

KEY MEN RETURN TO GOBBLERS LINEUP Smarting from last week's 27-7 loss to William and Mary, Virginia Tech's Gobblers, eager to get back into the victory column, were hoping that three key men who missed the W. and M.

action would be ready to go at Blacksburg against Davidson. The injured players are Bill Johnson, defensive star at end: Jack Gallagher, the touchdown-making triple-threat tailback, and Elmer Wilson, pass-snagging wingman. Marion Butler's booming punts headed consistently for coffin corners in Clemson's workout in preparing for Boston College. Sev eral of the boots went out of bounds on the 10-yard line.

The squad spent much of its practice in a discussion of World Series Nofes Cardinals Finally lire ah Up Yankees By AUSTIN BEALMEAR NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Wrapping up the World Series for another year, and possibly longer: it was a long time coming, but the world champion St. Louis Cardinals finally accomplished what many were advocating years ago "break up the Yankees." The new champs were on their way back to St.

Louis today, and if they 9 a breeze right on through town with out slowing down, they should be excused After all, a team that can wipe out a ten-game Brooklyn lead in the National League and whip the Yanks in a five-game series, winning 47 of its last 57 starts, just doesn't know when to stop. The Yankees are old hands at traveling, but they saw so much "country the past few days they don't care for any Moore" Enos (Country) Slaughter and Terry Moore, the crack: guardians of the Cardinals' outer regions, robbed the Yankees of base hits with circus catches in every game and divided ten hits between them The honor of beating the Yanks twice in world series com petition now is shared by the Cardinals and the New York Giants The Cards also handed the Bombers their last series defeat in 1926, while the Giants turned them back in the 1921 and 1922 classics. If you're wondering why Man ager Joe McCarthy didn't order o- terday, with only one out, a man stifle Yankee rallies and generally ennnort tr the rlalm that he is the equal of Joe DiMaggio. He singled and later scored the sixth innin that tlpd th- onnt flt -2 yesterday and set the stage for Kurowski's winning wallop. Or Enos Slaughterwho saved two games with marvelous plays, one a dead-eye Dick peg to third base from right field and the other a leaping catch of what should hare been a homerun by Charley Keller.

To top off his fine performance, he slugged a fourth-inning home run into the deep right field stands off Red Ruffing yesterday to equalize a four-bagger with which little Phil Rizzuto had greeted Beazley in the opening round. And then there was White, the southpaw, who blanked the Yan kees 2 to 0 in the third game; and Walker Cooper, who out-starred Bill Dickey behind the plate, climaxing his efforts with a snap peg that caught Joe Gordon off second base in the ninth ninning yesterday. And Marty Marion, the towering Cardinal shortstop who was brilliant in every game, and Jimmy Brown and Johnny IIopp and Stan MusiaL Each contributed exactly the right amount to the triumph. For the most part, they did not display the distance-hitting qualities of the Yankees, but each of them seemed to hit or come up with a great play when it was needed most. As for the Yankees, they simply ran into a bunch of game, hard- playing, hungry youngsters.

After they won the second game at St. Louis, the Cardinals actually be lieved they would take three straight at the Stadium here, and said so. Those of us who heard them thought it merely was youthful exuberance. We didn't quite know the Cardinals then. The most inexplicable collapse of the classic was contributed by Joe Gordon, the Yank second baseman.

Standout of the '41 series, when he practically beat Brooklyn Einele-handed. Gordon made only two hits in 21 times at bat against Cardinal pitching and didn't shine particularly in the field. He and Phil Rizzuto did not make their first double play until the final game, whereas they stvmied Brooklyn with seven a year ago. RIZZUTO WAS STAR FOR IIAFLESS BOMBERS Little Rizzuto played the best all-around game for the Yanks, hammering eight hits in the five games and fielding cleverly. A World Scries always has to provide one good opportunity for the second-guessers to ply their trade, and this was no exception.

Last night and today the men who have had years of experience in managing from the grand stand were demanding to know why Joe McCarthy, the Yankees' pilot, permitted Ruffing to pitch to Kurowski: in yesterday's ninth inning. They would have walked him without a second thought. The situation was this: Walker Cooper had opened the inning with a single and had been sacrificed to second by Hopp. Coming up was Kurowski, who earlier in the game had slammed a long one into the left field stands that sailed foul only by a few feet. Following Kurowski was Marty Marion, a very inconspicuous hitter, and the pitcher, Beazley.

By walking Kurowski. the Yanks would have set up the making of a double play, insisted the men who have made a study of such situations. But what, tyey moaned. did McCarthy do but pitch to Kurowski, with the results aforementioned. Incidentally, after Kurowski's looper had disappeared into the heavy haze and fallen among the fans hi the left field stands, Marion and Beazley both popped out.

The Bulldogs have a set-up at the pivot position that coaches have sought for all their careers and have never found, and Coach Wallace Butts is taking advantage of it for all its worth. In Bill Godwin, the Bulldog mentor has a great line backer, tipping the scales at 210 pounds, capable of going sixty minutes and never showing any wear. So he uses Godwin when the opposi- tion is in position to run with the ball. But when the situation changess and the foe apparently must take to the air, out comes the Arkan sas buster and in goes Clyde Ehr- hardt, another 200-pounder who has something of a sixth sense on forward passing defense.

That comes to an al-titudinous winning average of .831 down the stretch. They slugged and slashed their way to victory in their last six straight games in the league race, paused only to drop the World Series opener in St. Louis, and then battered the Yankees into submission in four straight. Some time, some team might have set a record that looks comparable in print, but forgive vs if we doubt that the competition was as tough as that bowled over by the Cardinals in their amazing drive to the top. DOUBT DODGERS COULD HAVE BEATEN YANKS With all due respect for the Brooklyn Dodgers, it would have been a shame if the Cards' sensational charge had fallen short ct the National League pennant.

Two capacity crowds in St. Louis and three vast gatherings of near-5y 70,000 here would have been deprived of a baseball treat to be treasured. It Is doubtful the Dodgers could have beaten the Yankees. They lacked pitching. As the series unfolded It became obvious that the Cardinals not only had all the dash and color which had become their hallmark, but that they also possessed great pitching in quantity.

Mort Cooper, their biggest winner, was slugged from the box twice by the Yanks, yet they had the men who could take up the slack in" Johnny Beazley, Ernie White and Max Lanier. Beazley, the solemn 23-year-old rookie from Nashville, who defeated the Yankees in the second game to square the series and. then came back to clinch the championship yesterday, probably deserved to be called the series star. He pitched two great games and showed an astonishing store of poise for a youngster. But the Cardinals line-up yas studded with stars.

It strictly was a team victory. Take Kurow-ski, the rookie third sacker from Reading, Pa. His game-winning blow yesterday was little more im portant than the triple he smacked in the second game to drive in a run and throw the Yankees into a tantrum of umpire-baiting from which they never recovered Or Terry Moore, the team's great captain and center-fielder.

Hve Your Eyes Scientifically PJ Examined YsK And Classes Fitted By i ness" of the crash-house gang came from that $6,192.50 waiting for each player at the finish of the 1942 series and the Cards are a lean, hungry team. This, incidentally is not trying to take a thing away from the running Redbirds. They hit when they had to. They ran when it counted. Just look at the way Johnny Beazley pulled himself out of two clutches yesterday.

And how about that clinching homer by Whitey Kurowski? He's the player the Yankees tabbed as the "All America out" before the series started. 1 But the reports are that the top- priced player, on the young Louis outfit draws down in thej neighborhood of $10,000. This! would be Terry Moore, the ghost of Center field, who not only can' but does catch everything 1 within nine miles of him. On the other hand, the Yankees are the highest priced club in base- ball, with a payroll estimated at $300,000 a year. Their average salary is somewhere near $10,000.

Of course, it true that at con tract time last spring there were only two or three really established stars on the Cardinal roster and Lon Warneke, who was one of them, was sold during the year. But there was more than $6,000 waiting for each winner in this series and around $4,000 for the lower. And the Cardinals outplayed the Yankees and put a winter's supply of meat on the table. To the well-fed, well-paid Yan kees the cash difference wasn't so great but the Cardinals absolutely burst into flame for that kind of money. When you come right down to it the Yankees outhit the Cards for the five game set, the Bombers' pitching wasn't so bad although they had no left hander and de fensively the Yanks committed only five errors to 10 for the Cards.

Where was the difference? You might ask the guys who make up the payrolls on the two clubs about that. Norway Suffers Food Shortage LONDON, Oct. 6. UP The food situation in Norway is "extreme ly serious" with at least 75 per cent of the people suffering from malnutrition. Dr.

"Then I got my second biggest I thrill yesterday as he polished off New York again to clinch the world series for the Cardinals. It was some performance for a major league freshman." Beazley, now 23, started with Lexington in the Kitty League in 1937, but was unimpressive in two victories and five defeats.

The next year he went to Greenville, in the Cotton States loop where he won two and lost four before finishing at Abbeville, irt the class Evangeline circuit. The big right hander lost six and won eight at Abbeville and then was taken on by New Orleans in 1939, but went back to his Nashville, home with a sore back out all season. The next year he was optioned to Columbus, and won five and lost three before packing again for home with his back ailment. The latter part of 1940 he hurled four victories and lost two for Mobile, but he still complained of his back. This is where Hurth, who had picked him up for a song, stepped in.

Beazley came back from his operation to win 16 and lose 12 for New Orleans, with an earned run average of 3.61 last season. The Cardinals grabbed him. And they were right, too. Navy Skyscrackers Battle Duke Next ATHENS, Oct. 6.

SERIOUS STUFF Maybe Mr. Thomas apt observation (see above) explains why we didn't enjoy yesterday's game. The largest crowd in world series history was there and you couldn't tell from the noise which was the home team.

Red Rolfe did almost as much hollering as the fans in the first few innings. From the way he kept gabbing at the umps and his teammates, he must hare been practicing for that Yale coaching job. Did you know this year was the first time the Yanks have lost a series game in which they outhit the opposition sinee away back in 1923? Joe DiMaggio has read "Victory Through Air Power'' but Charley Keller seems to be the only player who is applying it. There was plenty of air power when Keller hit that one into the stands yesterday. FIRST AID Notre Dame's footballers might have had a hint of what was due to happen to them last Saturday if they'd seen the goings-on at Georgia Tech's practice field last week the entire squad had a workout with stretchers, two of them hoisting: one who played the part of "victim onto a stretcher and toting him off the field.
