New York, 3. (Associated Press) The flashing, speeding St.

Louis Cardinals tore into the New York Yankees again today for a 2 to 0 victory behind the magnificent pitching of 'Lefty" Ernie White who shut out the mighty sluggers for the first time in a world series since 1928 and put the Cards ahead two games to one in the current classic. While the largest crowd in world series history, 69,123, sat stunned at first by the sight of their Bronx Bombers being smothered, and then later welled up into great cheers for the specucular fielding of the visiting National leaguers, the Cardinals took control rith a run off Spud Chandler In the "third inning and forced him out of the box with another In the ninth. It was a stormy struggle with the beleagured and possibly bewildered Yankees arguing time after time with umpires on close decisions at the bases, on balls and strike at the plate and c. the fact that Pitcher White early In the game was getting his signals r.rj-. Catcher Walker Cooper before stepping onto the rubber.

By PETE NORTON Florida's Gators defeated, but did not outclass, a determined University of Tampa football team at Phillips field yesterday afternoon before 6500 fans. The game was played in swelt ering heat, and at least half of the customers were soldiers. In fact, had the Spartans been able to get reasonable distance with their punts it would have been a close ball game, with two of the Florida touch downs coming as a result of poor kicks, and a third from a fumble deep in Tampa territory. Only once during the game, when Fullback Bill Corry, a hard-hitting 200-pounder, ripped the Spartan line to shreds, in the third quarters, could the Southeastern conference eleven maintain a scoring drive against Tampa. And in the second half the Spartans held the Gators even, each team scoring one touchdown.

Straub Is Tampa Star Capt. Paul Straub, Tampa's 167r pound fullback, who scored Tampa's first touchdown against Florida last year at Gainesville, did it again yesterday, blasting his way over from the eight-yard stripe in the third period, after End Bill Lassan had made a spectacular catch of Freshman Ted Alexander's pass to put the ball in scoring position. Paul DuHart, who once considered enrolling at the University of Tampa, and took part in several grid drills last fall, scored Florida's first touchdown in the opening period on a seven-yard smash over left tackle. Fondren Mitchell climaxed another short Gator drive by spinning over from the four-yard line, also in the opening period. Both of these scores were set up by short kicks, with Straub being unable to get any distance his boots against a brisk wind that swept down the field from the east.

Gators Grab Fumble A Tampa fumble In the second period, gobbled up by A'Quilla, Florida linesman, on the 25-yard line, paved the way for Florida's third score, with Glenn Barrington going over on a short drive over the middle. A five-yard penalty for excessive time out was costly to Tampa in this scoring sortie, moving the ball from the seven to the two-yard line, and making it much easier for Florida to get across the final stripe. The fourth score, in the third period, was made by Billy Mims, but was set up by Corry on a series of lunges through the Gator line. Both teams suffered from the heat, especially the Gators, who played sluggish ball in the second half after a fair performance in the opening periods. uorry and Broughton Williams, a lanky end who once played at Plant nigh, were the top performers for the Gators, with the big Florida fullback turning in a series of long kicks, repeatedly smashing through the Tampa line for gains, and playing hard-hit ting ball on defense.

Lassan Stars For Tampa Williams was a thorn in the side of the Tampa offense all afternoon. but his fine play was overshadowed to a great extent by that of Bill Las san, Tampa's left end. who turned in the best job of any linesman on the Held. Captain Straub of Tampa elected to receive after winning the toss from Capt. Jack Jones of Florida, and the crowd got a big thrill on the first play from scrimmage, after Straub had hauled Henry's kickoff to the 28.

The Spartans lined up quickly and sent Frank Straner, former Clearwater star, around right end. He had gained four yards when the whistle sounded. Apparently not hearing the wnistie, straner then raced over the goal line with four Florida players in hot pursuit. There was no question that the whistle had sounded ending the play, although there was some question, and a little booing, among the customers, wno oeiieved that Referee Lew Mc-Masters had stopped the play before the Gators had stopped Straner. Anyhow, the referee had the last, and decisive word.

Gators Score lwice During the remainder of the first period, the big Gator squad, repeatedly reinforced by husky, capable players, dominated play, even though the two touchdowns were set up by short kicks by Straub. Arter the Spartans had been backed up to the goal line, Straub, kicking from behind the line, booted out on the 28, and from that point, Mitchell, Corry and DuHart led a vicious drive-that ended with DuHart going seven yards for the first touchdown. Sutherland, the Gators place-kicking expert made it 7-0. A little later Straub again booted short, this time only 19 yards from the goal line, and Corry and Mitchell again pounded through the Tampa line for a score, with Mitchell ending the drive with a four-yard spin over right tackle. Sutherland again added the point.

Barrington, former Hillsborough star, teamed with Junior Horsey, ex-Lakeland ace. to score the third touchdown in the second period. Barrington Goes On After A'quilla recovered a Tampa fumble on the 25, Barrington bulled through for a first down in two plays, and Horsey raced to the seven on the next. Tampa was then penalized five yards for too much time out, and Cards kept pouring it on. Their victory, besides being the first whitewashing administered to the f- Yanks since Jess Haines pitched a 4 to 0 shutout for the 1926 Cardinals.

also was the first time since that year that New York had trailed in a world series except for the temporary advantage Carl Hubbell gave the Giants by winning the opening game In 1936. As in the second game at St. Louis which the Cards won 4 to 3, they were uthit by the Yankees today. But they did much more with their five blows than the staggering world champions could accomplish on six. White, a good-looking 26-year-old ophomore from Pacolet, S.

C. struck out five batters in the first three frames, also fanned Pinchhitter Red Ruffing in the eighth and never gave base on balls during the entire game. Walk Hurts Chandler It was a walk which started Chandler to defeat, just as a pass by Ernie Eonhatn had whipped him in St. Louis. In the third inning today George (Whitey) Kurowski waited out a free ticket to first and Marty Marion tried to sacrifice him.

The play was c2ipleted, but the 5 Yanks protested that the ball had hit In the batter's box before rolling toward the mound and won their point after all four umpires had held a dignified court session on the infield grass. Marion was called back to the plate and again bunted, but this time he beat Chandler's throw to first for a single. Then White sacrificed and Kurowski scored from third as Jimmy Brown grounded out. Except for that miscarriage Chandler, winner of 15 games against five losses this season, pitched impressively till he. gave way for a pinchhitter in the eighth.

A single by Stan Musial in the fourth and another scratch hit by Kurowski in the eighth were the only -other tots he allowed. SOUTH Tampa, 6. Davidson, 0. Florida. 26 Rollins 14; Georgia, 40; Furman, 7.

3. (Associated Press) Georgia Tech, sending opt a group of speedy backs, One a freshman, punched holes in the Notre Dame line and filled the air with passes to win 13 to 6 today. It was the first Irish defeat in 11 games and the second Tech victory over Notre Dame in 13 games. Thirty thousand saw the game. Fullback Ralph Plaster scored first for the Engineers in the third period, squirming over from the one yard line after a recovered Notre Dame fumble set the scoring fuse.

Freshman Clint Castleberry speared Pat McHugh with an eight-yard touchdown pass ab the start of the fourth period and Tech cruised into a 13 to 0 lead. Notre Dame, with accurate Angelo Bertelli hurried by fast charging forwards and unable to make an appreciable showing with his aerials, took to the ground to register its only touchdown early in the last quarter. Bertelli started it off, however, with a seven-yard completion to Tom Miller. Then Tom alternated with his brother, Creighton sons of a former Notre Dame captain in crashing to the Tech 15. The drive covered 70 yards, climaxed by Tom scoring.

Bertelli failed at placement. Three times Notre Dame pierced Tribune Photo for the Spartans' touchdown nearly to pay dirt but each jaunt Bertelli's passes were intercepted to break up the threats.

Russ Mosley set up Alabama's, first touchdown just after the start of the third quarter, when he faded back to midfield and whipped a 40-yarder to End Sam Sharpe, of Birmingham, who was downed by safety man Jennings Moates on the three. Craft, a Beach Bottom, W. boy, piled into center for no gain, and then faked and slid off tackle for the touchdown. Craft Scores Again Blondy Black kicked out to the Alabama's 48 on the next series of plays, and a 15-yard penalty against State set the ball back to State's 38.

Craft broke away off tackle and went over standing up for the second touchdown. A pass, from Sophomore Johnny August to Craft, set up the last tally after 'Bama had recovered the ball on State's 22 when Black fumbled August's punt. Craft was downed on the five, and on the next play scored on his favorite off-tackle fake.

Oct. 3. (United Press.) Ernie White, the square-jawed South Carolina southpaw, was "tired but happy as all getouf in the St. Louis Cardinals dressingroom today after becoming the first pitcher in 16 years to shutout the Yankees in a world series game. But he insisted on sharing honors with his three fleet-footed outfielders.

"Yes, suh, it sure felt good to set them down like that," the square-jawed youth from Pacolet Mills population 1200 exclaimed as he sat in front of his locker surrounded by a crowd of whooping teammates. Praises Outfielders "It took a real southern boy to whip those damn Yankees," he added, mopping his iface, "but don't let anybody try to kid you. I'd have been a gone turkey without Terry Moore, Stan Musial and Country Slaughter shagging those high, handsome ones back against the walls." The dressingrooms, deep under the concrete tiers of Yankee stadium, provided a sharp contrast after the Cards' 2-0 victory, with the aggressive St. Louis youngsters erantly proclaiming their own ability and the mighty Yankees sunk in gloom at their second setback in three games. Southworth accused the Yanks of being "technical" in various arguments during the game.

"They'll learn that won't help, just because we're a young ball club," Southworth added. McCarthy Disgusted Across the hall in the Yankee dress ingroom the quiet was oppressive. AH around the room players sat in deep silence before their lockers and Keller, robbed by Slaughter's circus catch of a certain seventh inning homer that would have tied the score, was mumbling. In his private office, Manager Joe McCarthy sat alone chewing a cigar and tearing up a blotter pad on his desk. "I'm disgusted," he muttered.

"Close the door on your way out." Clearwater High Gridders Prepare For Tampa Games CLEARWATER, Oct. 3. (Special.) Having knocked over one Tampa team, Hillsborough, by a 6-0 score, the Clearwater high Crimson Tornadoes will invade Tampa next Friday afternon for a game with the Jefferson Dragons and then return there the following Friday for a game with the Plant Panthers. The Tornadoes are especially anxious to beat the Dragons, as Coach Harker's charges came here last year and upset a highly favored Clearwater team. Clearwater has defeated the Panthers in Tampa twice in ths rivalry of the two schools, but has never trounced the Plant team in Clearwater.

or thwestern Blanks Texas Eleven by 3-0 EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 3. (Associated Press.) Al Pick, an obscure guard on Northwestern's bench for two years, had his big moment today. With the Wildcats and Texas Longhorns in a scoreless deadlock for three and a half periods the West Bend, senior came in to kick a field goal from the 19-yard line and bring Northwestern a 3 to 0 triumph before 43,000 spectators in Dyche stadium. Up to the time Pick made his 10-second appearance midway in the final period the intersectional rivals had chased up and down the field in a fruitless search for touchdowns via their famed running and passing attacks.

Northwestern Gets "Break" The big "break" of the game came when Texas punted out of bounds on Northwestern's 40. Otto Graham, the Wildcats dangerous passer and runner, romped away to the Longhorns' 24. Nick Vodick picked up three yards and Graham raced to the 18, then to the 13. Here the vaunted Texans, un-scored on in two previous games this year, held tightly. Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern's coach, beckoned Graham to the bench and sent out Pick in his spotless white uniform.

With Quarterback Dud Dean kneeling on the 19, Al Pick waited for the ball to be snapped. When it came he swung his foot truly and the ball went in a great arc over the crossbars 29 yards distant. Georgia Bulldogs Trample Furman Grid Team, 40-7 ATHENS, Oct. 5. (A.P.) Georgia's football team loped to its third straight victory today by swamping an out-manned Furman team 40-7 to the entire satisfaction of 8000 home customers.

The Bulldogs quickly made it no contest by racking 20 points in the first seven minutes of play but Furman kept plugging and with less than a minute to play Dewey Proctor saved a shutout by grabbing a pass from Skeeter Coyle on his own 40 and legging 60 yards to a touchdown. All-American Frankie Sinkwich, who played only about 15 or 20 minutes took charge of a power drive that produced early in the third after seven slashes starting from the Georgia 36. A 15-yard throw to Poschner and a throw to Ken Keuper for- 27 put it on the four and Sinkie finished that one off with a scoring plunge.

Marion tried to sacrifice TUSCALOOSA, Oct. 3. (Associated Press) A great University of Alabama football team knocked off Mississippi State's Southeastern conference crown today, and kicked it all around Denny stadium, scoring points in a hectic third quarter to beat the champions 21-6 before 18,000 fans. State's powerful team, a pre-season favorite to retain its title, held Alabama scoreless for the first half, but it crumbled under sledge hammer blows of Russ Craft, Russ Mosley and Don Sails in the third period, and Craft pileu over thrice to score, twice on fakes off left tackle and the third time on a spectacular 38-yard gallop. A home-town boy, Kermit Davis, of Tuscaloosa, kept State from the igominy of a shut-out.

As the last quarter shafiows angled over the field, he snatched a desperate 29-yard pass from Tailback Billy Murphy, and ran 15 more yards to score. The victory paid back Alabama in full for two previous upsets, which spoiled t'e 1940 and 1941 seasons. It was State's first defeat in conference competition since Alabama turned the trick in 1939. Alabama Business Manager Jeff Coleman estimated the crowd was ap down pass. (Continued on Fae 2 Coliima 4).
