THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1955 PAGE FIVE Dodgers Confident They Can Capture First World Series In Yankee Stadium; Lead 3-2 By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK WV-The Brooklyn Dodgers' long-sought goal--thfir first world championship appeared within sight today. They were leading the New York Yankees three games to two as action shifted back to the wide- open spaces of Yankee Stadium. It was there Brooklyn lost the first two games of the World Series. Their three successive victories came in the compact and friendly confines of Ebbets Field. After winning 5-3 yesterday, the Brooks from Manager Walt Alston on down believed they could win at least one in the Stadium.

If not today, then tomorrow for sure. Yankee Manager Casey Stengel growled: "I'm not predicting anything except that it will go seven." His starting pitchers, he said, would be Whitey Ford today and Tommy Byrne tomorrow. "Either Don Newcombe or Karl Spooner will be my pitcher," Alston said. "I can't make up my mind. But if there is a seventh game, Johnny Podres will pitch 1 Newcombe's Arm Sore Newcombe himself may make up Alston's mind for him.

The Dodgers' 20-game winner, who lost the first game, complained that the stiffness in his arm hadn't left him. "It's still sore," he said. "I didn't even bother to throw today because of the pain. I don't know whether or not I'll be able to pitch." Spooner, who worked three fine innings in relief in the second game, said he was ready to go. Never before were the Dodgers' prospects so bright, although once before, back in 1952, Brooklyn led after five games only to drop the next two games and the series to the Yankees.

But as Alston said when reminded of the '52 debacle: "This is a different year and a different Dodger team." He could also have added "and a different Yankee team." Dodger Staff Stronger Injuries to outfielders Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer have stripped the Yankees of much of their attack and the Yankee bullpen has been of less service than anybody anticipated. Right now the Dodgers' staff looks stronger than Stengel's. The Brooks not only have the pitching but they're proven they have the power and the sure-handed defense that goes making a championship club. Never before had a Brooklyn team won three in a row over the American Leaguers. Never before, in seven chances over 40 years, have the Dodgers won a world championship.

Never has a team lost the first two games and come back to take the title inside seven games. The first has been done. One more victory would accomplish the other two. Alston Gamble Pays Yesterday's victory was by far the sweetest for Alston. He gambled and won with a surprise starter in Roger Craig, a 24-year-old right-hander who only a year ago was pitching in the Class Piedmont League.

The bony 6-4 right- hander, who pitched only 91 major league innings since his promotion from Montreal in midseason. upheld the judgment of Alston by turning in a i a performance. He didn't last, but when Alston yanked him in the seventh he had yielded only four hits and two runs. There were none out and he had walked Eiston Howard after a home run by pinch hitter Bob Cerv had cut the Dodgers' lead to 4-2. Retires 3 On 5 Pitches Clem Labine.

Saturday's winner. came in and threw a double play ball to Irv Noren. From then on. Labine pitched almost perfect ball except for a home ran by Yogi Berra and a single by Eddie Robinson in the eiehth. He retired pinch hitters Andy Carey.

Tommy Byrne and Howard on five pitches in the ninth. "I liked what I saw of Craig all year." enthused Alston. "I had a lot of confidence in him. He has guts. He didn't want to come out shouldn't let that man hit that many homers.

Not after you get two strikes on him the way we did." Stengel, gracious in defeat, admitted he was stunned at losing three games in Ebbets Field. "We should have won here," he said. "We won here before and we have only ourselves to blame. I'll be glad to get back to the range in our park but that park is no excuse. It's more us.

We didn't take advantage of the short fences. I got the guys who hit homers too. Maybe more than they have. They just didn't hit as many as Brooklyn did." WILL CONTINUE ROTARY MATCH HUNTINGTON, N. Y.

Officials of tht sponsoring organizations said the tournament probably would be held at more accessible location in the future. The Huntingdon Crescent Club course, over which the 36-year-old Evans turned in a 273 for 72 holes, is located some 50 miles from the center of New York City. Evans shot a 3-under par 67 on the final day and finished three strokes in front of Tommy Bolt of Chattanooga, and Don Fairfield of Casey, III First place' was worth $2,400. Bolt and Fairfield each won $1,600.

Tommy had a 67 and Don a 70 for their last rounds. Bob Crowley of Mountain Ridge, N. was fourth with 277. PGA champion Doug Ford of Kiamesha Lake, N. finished with a 281 after leading the first round at 68.

It'll be the only game bringing together members of the top 10 on the basis of last week's rankings. And there was nothing in last Saturday's results, except for the 6-0 beating handed eighth- ranked Ohio State by Stanford, that indicated there'll be any great shifting. The Buckeyes, however, could well drop several notches because of their defeat by the unheralded Indians. The game still was the talk of the gridiron world today as most of the nation's major teams prepared to settle down to races in their respective conferences.

The youngsters, Alan Ameche and George Shaw, have accounted for all the Baltimore touchdowns in a surprising season in which the Colts find themselves in a three- way tie for the lead in the NFL's Western Conference today after whipping Detroit 28-13 over the weekend.

Eddie Dasher, Bubbler fullback, climaxed a 31-yard drive by skirting end from the 6-yard line for the only score of the game in the third period. His kick for the extra point was low and wide. A 19-yard return from midfield by Boh Grove, who intercepted a pass by Ronnie Koontz, ignited the Boiling Springs touchdown drive.

Miller rammed through for 9 yards to the 22. On two tries Dasher added three yards for a first down on the 18. Grove then sped to the 5 after which an off-side infringement set the Bubblers back to the 10. Miller bolted through for four yards before Dasher streaked over. The Bubblers threatened mildly in the first period when Shank got away for 25 yards to put the ball on the Canners' 34" but here Bill Coradetti's lads braced and took the ball.

There were several exchanges of punts during the first period without any serious threat by either team. Canners Reach 5 About midway in the second quarter Biglerville took possession on its 28 via a punt and then reeled off four straight first downs to manufacture its only serious threat. Koontz's running sparked the drive. The Canners reached the 8-yard line with a fourth down and four to go. Bryant Roe picked up three yards on the final try as the Bubblers took over on the 5 and two plays later the half ended.

After Dasher's score in the third period, Roe broke away on a 32-yard run to i each the Boiling Springs' 36 but the Bubblers stiffened and took the ball. Passes Connect Early in the final frame the Canners drove to the 25 on three straight first downs, two of which came on passes, Koontz to Don Hartzell for 17 yards, and Wallace Rice to Hartzell for 11 yards. Once again the Bubblers braced and took over. As the game ended the Bubblers recovered the ball on the Biglerville 5 after a punt had bounced off of Nelson leg who was in the safety position. Ken Pitzer, Maynard Gochenour and Phil Stone played outstanding line games fov Biglerville.

Frank Capitani, former Hershey High grid star, returned to the scene of his scholastic achievements to lead Gettysburg College to a surprisingly easy 27-6 win over Bucknell Saturday night before 7,000 at Hershey Stadium. Capitani, who was playing his college varsity game and who wasn't listed as a.

starter in the pre-game line-ups, made runs of 24 and 33 yards for iiis first two scores in the initial quarter, and then took a flat pass from Quarterback Frank Gagliardi atid raced 44 for Gettysburg's third score in the final period. In between his scoring jaunts, Capitani played fine defensive ball, frequently making tackles and upon occasion, tossing the Bison ball carriers for losses. In the only time he was called on to punt, the erstwhile Hershey High star punted out of bounds on the Bucknell 10. Two Threats Halted It was a particularly satisfying triumph for Coach John Yovicsin and cohorts Gene Haas and Jim Lentz, since the Bullets were always applying pressure on the Bucknell defenders. In the second quarter the Bisons held on their own seven following a Sheldon Yingst interception of a Bucknell aerial and 42- yard run.

Minutes later the Lewisburg eleven held again on its own four following a Bullet drive of 60 yards. In the second half, Gettysburg drives stalled on the Bison 34 and 19 before the final two six-pointers were scored in the last quarter. The game opened with Bill Ward kicking off for the Bullets to the Bison one where Bob Sierer took the ball and raced to the Bison 25. In 13 plays, Bucknell drove for a score with Bob Ford charging over from the one on fourth down. Two passes, one from Stewart to Sierer and the other Stewart to Lloyd, accounted for 51 yards on the 75 Retaliate Quickly Dick Lewandowski picked up a poor Bison kickoff on his own 35 and returned to the Bucknell 35.

Davie Lichtenfeld and Bruce Pieper added five yards on two plays before Pieper, on a delayed buck, got the first down on the Bison 24. C-apitanni then went on his first scoring run. Lichtenfeld added the extra point with perfect placement after the Bullets had been penalized five for taking too much time. A pass interception by Pieper on the 48 Gettysburg set up the next Bullet score. After being penalized 15 yards for holding, Gettysburg was on the move again.

Capitani, Lichtenfeld and G-agliardi, plus a five-yard penalty against the Bi- sons, made it a first down on the Bucknell Capitani went around left end for four and bit center for 3. Lichtenfeld was unable to gain around right end, but Capitani. on a fourth down and three to go situation, took a handoff from Gagliardi and raced 33 for his second score. Again Lichtenfeld added the extra point. Bullets Threaten Gettysburg failed during the remainder of the first half but threatened on two occasions.

After Gettysburg held at the beginning of the final period, the Bullets drove from their own 26 to the Bison 19 where a fourth down pass was grounded over the Bucknell goal line. Capitani Again After a short Bucknell punt rolled dead on the Bison 39, Gettysburg was on its way.

Capitani picked up four through the center, but a fumbled pitchout with Gagliardi recovering cost Coach Yovicsin's charges 10 yards. With the ball resting or the Bison 44, Gagliardi tossed a "ass to Capitani who was ni the Hat on the right, and the former Hershey Hign great raced down the sidelines for the touchdown.

Soltesz added the extra point with a perfect placement. AH Do Good Job The entire Gettysburg squad played fine ball. Defensively, the Bullets did a fine Job of stopping Bob and the rest of the veteran Bucknell hackfield as well as taking care of the Bison aerials following the first two completions. Offensively, the Bullets sot two quick touchdowns and then stalled on four deep penetrations before getting their final two six-pointers.

The name marked the first appearance of the newly-uniformed Gettysburg band for the school year 1955-56. The band made a fine impression with its renditions and greater numbers.
