WHAT A RACE Now that the smoke has cleared from around the National League flag race and the World Series has safely started, it's possible to look back at the National League race and get a better look at just what the New York Giants did: The outcome that saw the Giants win in the last inning of a game that was by most odds, in the hands of the Dodgers, was a fitting end to the pennant drive. It was a mixture of several factors, to pin one down as "The" reason is impossible.

In 1949 Brooklyn edged out Philadelphia on the last day of the race to take the champion. ship. That year they beat the "Phillies, 9-7 to avoid a tie and win the pennant. The next year, 1950, saw the Brooks bow to the They missed the extra point. Very quickly the Deacs cam back.

A crowd of 45,000 witnessed the game in 91-degree weather, Tennessee, the nation's third ranked team in the Associated Press poll, showed marked improvement offensively over its opening game. The Vols scored once in each quarter twice on passes and the other two on run ning plays. Duke was a thoroughly beaten club. The Southern Conference visitors, who piled up 35 points in trampling South Carolina and Pittsburgh, never were able to get a sustained drive under way. The closest Duke got to Tennessee's goal line was the 25-yard stripe late in the second period.

This threat died when line-backer Gene Moeller of Davenport, Iowa, intercepted a pass by Jerry Bar-ger. Duke's flashy freshman quarterback. i i Tennessee tackling jarred the ball loose from Duke backs five times in the first half. Four times the Southeastern Conference Vols pounced on the ball and twice they turned the bobbles into touchdowns. "The first came late in the first period.

Barger fumbled and Moeller, who played a great game, recovered for Tennessee on the Duke 48. Five plays produced a touchdown with tailback Hank Lauri-cella, easily the most outstanding back on the field, sprinting 8 for the six-pointer. Bert Rechichar converted. On the next kickoff Duke's Blaine Earon of Altoona, fumbled and Vol guard John Michels from Philadelphia grabbed the pig skin on the Blue Devil 34. Tailback Hal Payne of Pensacola, shot a Duuet pass to end John Davis on the Duke 2.

Fullback Dick Emsberger of Mansfield, O.J plunged for the score. Rechichar's kick was wide. Straight power plays produced Tennessee's third score, Payne plunging from the three to climax a 48-yard march. Two 11-yard sprints by Lauricella, coupled with an 18-yard smash by sophomore fullback Ray Byrd. worked the ball into scoring position.

Freshman end Vic Kolonik converted. A 34-yard punt return by Rechi char set up Tennessee's final counter. Payne sprinted 26 for an apparent touchdown, but a Vol back was in motion and the play was called back. Three plays later Payne tossed a 17-yard pass into the end zone to end Frank Alexander. Korenick's kick was wide.

The Vols failed to capitalize On another scoring chance late in the final period after Billy Blackstock returned a Duke kick 60 yards to Duke's 16.

I A howling crowd of 17,000 saw Hair arch a perfect 23-yard pass to end Glen Smith who plucked it from the reaches of a State player for a touchdown. Clemson got a break when a wobbly quick kick by State's Webster was downed on State's 35.

But the Tigers couldn't advance beyond the 20. State, trying desperately to score, drove from its 25 to Clemson's 33 before Clemson's Cook intercepted a Webster pass to end the threat. Final: Clemson 6, N. C. State 0.

Substitute fullback Charlie Radcliff's attempted conversion was wide of the uprights. The score climaxed a 75-yard drive and came immediately after the second-half kickoff. The vicious line play and bruising blocking of both teams caused a number of players to be sidelined. Early in the game State lost back George McArthur and guard Walter Schacht because of injuries. It was Hair passes and terrific line' plunges by fullback Jim Shirley that ate up huge hunks of yardage for the orange shirted Tigers.

State with tailback Alex Webster doing the brunt of the offensive work, failed to make a first down in the first half and offered but two serious scoring threats during the entire game. State tried desperately in the closing period to snatch at least a tie by taking to the air. The Wolfpack drove from its own 25 to Clemson's 33, mainly on passes, before a pass intersep-tion by tailbark Peter Cook halted the threat. Clemson launched the first. long drive of the night early in the opening period.

The Tigers moved 60-yards in 10 plays before Shirlev fumbled and State's blocking back Ray Barkouskie recovered on state's 14. State's only first half threat came after fullback Jim rv- Rourke intercepted a Hair pass on State's 43 and ran it back to Clemson's 41. But the Wolfpack couldn't dn anything against the fast, tough Clemson line and lost the ball on downs on the 40. Clemson rolled ud 20 first. downs to State's five and com pleted eignt of 16 passes.

State made good on only three of 12 heaves. Clemson failed to canitali ze on a break which set up a possible touchdown in the last period. State's Webster, attemntinsr to quick kick, got off a wobblv hont which fell on his 35. But the Tigers were able to make only 15 yards before State renamed possession of the ball.

6 (P)--Texas found the running attack it has been searching for today and combined it with a proven defense to crush North Carolina, 45-20. Left half Gib Dawson, a 170-pound speedster from Douglas, finally ran the way Texas coaches knew he could and hit pay-dirt twice. He opened the Longhorn scoring by catching quarterback Jones' 10-yard pass in the end zone for Texas' first tally in tlte first North Carolina's Tar Heels cracked right back with an 87-yard drive. Fullback Dick Weiss took the ball on a sninner and drove through his left guard eight yards to put North Carolina briefly the lead as Abie Williams kicked the extra Doint. But the blistering Texas attack was iust setting warmed up.

Oct. 6 VP) Baylor quarterback Larry Isbell scored one touchdown and passed for two others in master-minding a brilliant 27-14 victory over un derrated Tulane today. Isbell gave a near-perfect performance, punting Baylor out of holes, setting up most of the runs with his deceptive ball handling and passing with deadly accuracy. He passed nine yards to end Stan ley Williams for the winning touch down In the third quarter.

Tulane's sophomore quarterback, Pete Clement, turned in a sterling performance. After scoring the first touchdown late in the first period on a beautiful 28-yard run after a fake pass, he passed to end Harold Riley for 12 yards and a touchdown. Robert Reid intercepted a Clement pass and returned it 56 yards for the final Baylor touchdown in the fourth period. Reid's score gave Baylor a touchdown in every period while Tulane was un able to muster a scoring punch after halftime. Baylor 7 6 7 627 Tulane 7 7 0 014 Baylor scoring: Touchdowns Isbell, Riley.

There was nothing that Wake Forest could do about the score. Kind-hearted Tom Rogers used every available man on his roster, 48 in all, but the third stringers did as well as the front line men and swept the cobwebs out of their hair, so to speak. Richmond was outclassed, out-manned, outscored and out-everything.

The Deacons line was not to be denied and the Baptist backs ran with the determination of a hard-shelled preacher trying to convert a stubborn backslider. Scored Quickly With the front liners in action, it took only a few minutes of the first quarter for the Deacs to score their first TD. They kicked off to the Spiders and as soon as the Virginia boys relinquished the ball to them, they drove from their first TD. With Ed Kissell sparking the drive the Deacs drove to the six where Bruce Hillenbrand promptly dived over over for the initial score. Sonny George booted the extra point and the Deacons were rolling.

The ball changed hands one time apiece and on the second go round, with the ball on the Richmond 37-yard line, Dickte Davis, the Wilson, N. C. lad, tossed a pass to Jack Lewis, the right end, who snagged it and ran over. The try for the extra point was good. In the second quarter the Deacons really got wound up.

They scored three times, with two of them coming through the air lanes. One was a pass from Kissell to Bob Ondilla that came after Wake recovered a Rich mond fumble on the 3-yard line and the other saw the needle-eyed Kissell drop one in Mayo Waggoner's lap from the 23. Coker Tallies The one running score was a pitch-out play with Pete Coker on the receiving end. He went 36-yards for his touchdown. At the halftime, the Tarboro high school band along with two other high school musical organizations, performed with the Wake Forest drum majorettes assisting.

The short rest agreed with Wake Forest as they came out and rattled across 22 more points. Richmond kicked off to Wake and on the first play, Billy Churm. a sophomore back with promise of being a hot star in the future, scampered from the Wake 39 all the way to the five- yard line where he dropped the ball in his excitement and it denoted out of bounds. Coker tried once and then Churm plowed over from the three. 'A few minutes later Wake For-est drove to the Richmond frve where Lou Pollacci bulled over.

Spiders Score With the Wake reserves in the same, the Spiders opened up an aerial offensive that saw Bobby Tyler passing to Ed Elliot. They reached the Wake three through the air and then sent John Zu-picich into the line for the score. Iback sharply to his left as Jones threw a key block and then outran the North Carolina secondary which had overshifted to his right. The drive covered 65 yards. North Carolina then kicked off instead of receiving and Texas swept 62 yards in four plays.

Fullback Richard Ochoa got the big bite, 48 yards straught through the middle for the first touchdown of his varsity career. Clifford Polk recovered a North Carolina on me lar neeis 16 to set up the next score. Jones slid off left tackle from the 1, wnere awsun imu put uic uau Dawson kicked three extra points to account for a total of 15 points one-third the Texas total The 45-20 victory disproved complaints of some Texas backers that the Longhorns might be great on defense but were impotent on offense. Texas scored in every period and revealed ability to sustain its attack by marching 35, 65, 62, 69 and 74 yards to touchdowns. The Longhorns continued to make the most of opportunities.

A recovered fumble on North Carolina's 16-yard line led to a score, and Bill Bible'-s 34-yard runback of an intercepted North Carolina pass to the Tar Heel 6 paved the way for Dean Smith's 6-yard dash around left end to end Texas scoring for the day. Frank Wissman, North Carolina tailback, almost put his team back in the game with two perfect touch down lobs to Bud Wallace, good lor 46 and 48 yards respectively. In both instances, Wallace broke into the clear behind the defense to take the passes going away One-yard smashes by Jimmy Pace and Carl Mayes capped 69 and 74-yard drives for the other two Texas tallies.

Should Newcombe stay or come out? Dressen thought he should come out. The result: Ralph Branca's second ball be came a souvenir ball for some lucky bleacher fan. NEARLY LOST This on the Dodger side. On the Giant side it was something else again.

Where Dressen let down, Lippy Leo Durocher picked up. His Giants at the first of the season dropped 11 straight games, many of them to the Bums. Panic clutched at the club, but they finally pul led out of the Ito Durechtr tailspin and started winning. By July 4, the Giants had closed up behind the Dodgers, then the law of averages tripped the Giants up and they started to skid and by August 14, they found themselves eyeing the backs or the Dodgers, some 13 1-2 games behind. But something happened to the New York club.

They couldn't lose, and they won the next 39 out of 47 games. They forced the series into a play-off on the final day. The rest is history. They still say that the Giants can't touch the well-rounded team that the Dodgers had on the field: that Brooklyn had the best outfield. maybe Greatness is a word that gets bandied about too much these days, but it's a word that should be saved.

If a halfback makes a good run, it's not great, because chances are, somebody the next day, somewhere, is going to make one just as good, if not better. Something great is something that may not happen again. Richmond's Billy Jordan at the finish. Behind Jordan came four Tar Heels who sewed up the meet for North Carolina: Bob Webb, Morris Osborne, Mike Healey and Captain Gordon Hamrick. Then came Ned Baylor of Richmond, Jack Bennett of North Carolina, and three Richmonders: Joe Porter, Jack Sandford and Bob Ossman.

Jim Martin, Detroit Lions' end from Notre Dame, has been nicknamed "Jughead" since he was a outh and wore short hair cuts. (Phillies, who took the flag as a result. A win by Brooklyn would have thrown the race Into a tie. Again, this year the Brooks eot edged in the iinal running, but at least done better than the Red Sox, if that's any con eolation to them. DRESSEN CRITICISED Chuck Dressen has been sharp ly criticese'd for his handling of the Dodgers and there no doubt that a letdown in his piloting of the Dodger team a a great deal to do with the Giants over coming a 13 1-2 game lead.

Dressen became very cocky. At Found themselves in front of the Choriit DrtiMn other clubs In the 1 a ue Dressen told a Chicago sports-writer that he (Dressen) was the team of the year before and the present one. He was referring to Burt Shotton, wno prooaDiy gnashed his teeth at the time, then chuckled with glee sometime about four oclock on last Wednesday afternoon when a former Rocky Mount Leaf bashed a long, long screaming home run over the left field wall. MISSED ON PITCHERS Writers who followed the Bums also felt that Dressen's handling of the pitchers lacked. One, for Instance, is the Irv Palica incident when Dressen publicly told the press that Palica didn't have any guts.

He also over-loaded Preacher Roe and Don New-combe in the stretch, when, as It turned out, he had winning pitchers he could have used. The toughest decision that a manager must make is when to not to, take out a pitcher.
