Rockets Trail, 13-0, Midway In Contest BY SI Bl'RICK Daily News Sports Editor AT the end of the first half out at Dayton Stadium Saturday afternoon, University of Dayton'g football team appeared to be "in clover." The Flyers were leading, 13-0, and they had made a shambles out of the offensive efforts of Toledo university's sprightly team.

And then, as though two separate and distinct football games were being played, Toledo came hack to score 14 points in the last two periods. Since Dayton could account for none, the final score read: Toledo 14, Dayton 13. A full house sat as though stunned at the way things had turned to cost Dayton its first defeat The Yardstick Sox diction this afternoon with a great i last quarter comeback to hold the1 favored Iowa Hawkeyes to aj 13-1S tie tn a Western Conference grid battle.

This was a tremendous moral victory for Fesler and the Buckeyes, and it might have been an actual triumph by a single point had the four officials watched the first Ohio point afteT touchdown try with as discerning eyes as did the 72.5108 customers who retained their faith in the state's top college cluh. So Betzel and his Celina pal, Kirhy, started out this morning on a long auto junket to South Dakota.

There, they'll hunt pheasants and talk and swap baseball lies wih other baseball men who are gathering around the town of Port Huron this week. And after communing with nature in the north country. Bruno should be able to make a decision. Betzel and McCarthy have been intimate friends for years. Bruno was Marse Joe's teammate on the Louisville Colonels years ago.

Both are former Louisville managers. And when McCarthy was manager of the Yankees, Bruno was in the farm system of that mighty dynasty until he switched to the Brooklyn interests and won two pennants for the Montreal club. Bruno followed that up with his miracle finish this year at Jersey City a New York Giants' farm and now he's considering the call to the coaching lines by McCarthy. Since the trend these days is for major league clubs to sign up "seasoned" managers. Betzel might lose a hlg-league piloting opportunity by moving with McCarthy.

That trend has been accentuated in recent times by the Yankees, who signed Bucky Harris; by the Dodgers, who took Burt Sholton after the Durocher suspension emergency: by the Reds, who took Johnny Neun; by the Red Sox, who signed McCarthy, and by the Pirates, who recently grabbed Bill Meyer, long-time manager in the Yankee farm system. Thai's why Betzel is going to South Dakota this week to hunt and to think about his baseball future, which has been upset by McCarthy's proposition to coach the Bed Sox. About Trades This Winter 1VURING the recent World Series, I asked several baseball men what they thought about the possibility nf big trades this winter. Most of them had the same answer, which, in effect, went like this: "We're still feeling the effect of the war in the major leagues. Then pennant-winning teams this year couldn't have stood up with many of the great prewar teams of the past, There are still very-old and very young ball players dotting big league rosters.

The war years stopped Hie natural development of many ball players for good. It retarded the progress of many others. It's going to take two or three more seasons before there's a return to hasehall normalcy. "As a consequence, we don't think anyone who has a star is going to deal him off unless he can get another star in return. Nobody will deal established hig-leasuc performers for money and the kinds of hall players who are on the major league fringe.

The tide was turned on the mercurial legs of Dick Huston, ebony colored senior halfback, who intercepted a Dayton pass and ran 55 yards for a third-period touchdown; and who gathered in a long heave from his teammate, Lee Pete, to score on a play that covered 72 yards in all in the last quarter. In each case, John Shutt, corpulent placekicking specialist, split the uprights for the extra point. And the second conversion which came with nine minutes, 50 seconds to go in the final period spelled the difference in the fins' score.

It did not seem important at the time, with Dayton rolling almost as it pleased. No one could have guessed then that it would mean the ball game. Dayton had scored the first time it gained possession, culminating a grinding 63-yard march when Roy "Pip" Janaszek went nvor from four yards out. The second was a gorgeous pass from Quarterback Chief Toscani to Dick Dahn, spectacular glue-fingered end, in the end zone on fourth down, the play covering 13 yards.

It should be noted here and now that George Miley, a Toledo sophomore back, probably saved tha professional and a champion was made i several times. Michigan Power Rolls Over Northwestern, 49-21 Tiny Texan Leads Irish In 31-0 Win penalty, and that was that. At the time, it didn't seem to matter too much, because there were only eight minutes and 17 seconds left to play, and it didn't seem that the Buckeyes had enough power to keep rolling to another score. But score again they did, with only 52 seconds remaining in the contest. When they crossed the goal line the second time, the place-kicking team again went in, and this time with the boys from the tall corn holding up until the ball was snapped, Moldea split the uprights with an accurate boot and the score was deadlocked.

Halfback Coy McGee, 158- Perhaps the outstanding quote of the entire World Series involved DiMaggio and was virtually ignored. It was after Al (tionfriddo, the Brooklyn unknown, made that amazing catch off Joe in the sixth game the one in which the obscure Dodger reserve went to the mark on the left field wall to haul down a rrJime-run bid (hat would have tied up the game, but which saved it for Brooklyn instead. "How do you feel about it?" reporters asked DiMaggio in the Yankee dressing room. "I'll probably never forget it." he said, without a trace of malice in his voice.

It was a vicious, hard-fought and even bloody struggle in which the trainers and stretcher-bearers were kept busy throughout. The lines on both sides played magnificent ball and Toledo put one of the best linebackers of the year on display in the persor of Myron Carman, 22-year-old ex-Marine, who was all-Ohio as a freshman last year. Most serious of the injuries were tl use to Dayton Tackles Bob Wagner and Bil! Lange. Wagner suffered a shoulder injury, whi'e Lange suffered a badly torn mouth from a kick. After Toledo took the lead in the final period, Dayton moved intn scoring territory and with afeurth down and five to go from the 21, the Flyers decided to gamble on a field goal.

Evans and Comedian Al Schaeht combined to tell a story. It was when Schaeht was a member of the Washington pitching" staff and was very proud of a fast hall that he didn't have. This was about a quarter nf a century ago. One day Schaeht was announced as Washington's starling pitcher. As he strutted to the mound, he spoke to Evans, the plate-umpire, and said: "Watch my fast one.

Parker tells'the rest of the story like this: tlon'' mean exclaimed Billy and with that he took off his chest protector and blew some more air into it, much to the mystification of the crowd watching the pantomine. "When play was called, Schaeht wound up with such terrifving gusto that Evans thumped his chest protector a couple of times' for reassurance. Then Al delivered the hall. Up to the plate it came, hardly making a thud as it hit the catcher's mitt.
