straight games to become the first National League World Series winners tinea 1946 by grabbing loosely played 7-4 finale Leo opportunists alert to every chance piled up an early 7-0 lead for Don Liddle and then called on Hoyt dancing knuckler and finally 21-game winner Johnny Antonelli to stave off the dying gasps of the futile Tribe Not since 1922 when the Giants of John McGraw rode over the New York Yankees had a National League champ gone through a series without defeat That sweep however was somewhat blemished by one tie game Actually the miracle Boston Braves of 1914 were the last Nationals to do it in four games Cleveland winning est team in American League history with 111 victories while dethroning the five-time champion New York Yankees suffered the same shocking fate as the Chicago Cubs of 1906 whose 116 triumphs still First Loss: Notre Dame Upset 27-14 By Purdue SOUTH BEND IND Oct Sure-fire Len Dawson cut down the Na 1 football team Notre Dame today with four touchdown passes good for a total of 156 yards to sharpshoot Purdue to a stunning 27-14 upset triumph The lanky 6-foot sophomore quarterback from Alliance Ohlot also converted three times and keyed the Boilermakers pass-defense that eventually smothered desperation shots by two Irish aerialists Ralph Guglielmi and Sophomore Paul Homung The victory before creaming fans snapped Notre Continued on

Beard Pull Out Victory Royce Jones Leads VMI To Upset By Steve Guback Richmond which had been thinking the thoughts of the high and mighty after two opening romps came crashing down to reality last night An emotion-ally-aroused VMI squad taking its first step in defense of a State championship that already had been written off to others flogged the Spiders 19-6 before 6000 rain-soaked spectators at City Stadium Never behaving like a 14-point underdog the Keydets achieved one of the young major shockers under the superb direction of Quarterback Royce Jones a place-kicker exclusively in the two-platoon days who was awarded one of his rare starting appearances Jones scored the first VMI touchdown got the second one off winging with a 16-yard punt return and set up the third with a pass interception Charlie Lavery another Key-det understudy who was starting only because of an injury to Troy Carter cracked over from short distances for the final two VMI scores as the Richmond defeat of the only one the Keydets suffered in State play was soundly avenged brute-like defense unscored upon and ranking No 1 nationally at game time was pierced for 233 yards 153 of these coming on the ground slants of Nick Servidio Frank Baxley and a host of other high-stepping Keydet backs who showed utter contempt for the upfront reputation Ed never displayed Its swift-striking offense that riddled two Little Seven opponents with ease The lone score came in the final two minutes with a 19-0 disadvantage already showing on the scoreboard Tommy Theodose the Na 2 Richmond signal-caller touched off the 67-yard march with bulls-eye passes and George Riggs finally legged it across from four yards out Statistically the Spiders Continued on Page 9 Column 7 Cavaliers By Walt re wry Times-Dispatch Sports Writer CHARLOTTESVILLE Oct 2 A favored University of Virginia eleven outplayed completely on a statistical basis stormed from behind in the last five minutes today to edge George Washington 14-13 A crowd of 14000 watched the Cavaliers chalk up their second triumph but only after they withstood a desperate passing attack by the winless Colonials in the closing moments Virginia took a 7-0 lead in the second period after Center Jim Pugh recovered a fumble on the GW one-yard marker Herb Hart well rammed across and Sophomore Stan Knowles whose vital placement later in the game was to be the difference between victory and defeat booted the extra point The Cavaliers held on to that seven-point margin desperately until the fourth period when the Colonials suddenly came to life and scored twice within three minutes and 20 seconds A 45-yard gallop by Quarterback Bob Sturm set up the first on four Halfback Len Ciemniecki whose 123 yards gained by rushing In eight carries was 33 more than the entire Virginia team knifed over from the one and Sturm booted the extra point Ciemniecki electrified the crowd shortly thereafter by taking a handoff and zooming 63 yards for a second Colonial touchdown Sturm again sent the ball between the uprights but a GW player was detected holding and the Colonials were' penalized 15 yards This time attempt was short of the goal posts and this failure eventually was to cost George Washington the game Things looked dark Indeed for the Cavaliers until they got the Continued on Page 4 Column 5 By Shelley Rolfe i mes-Dispa tch Sport Writer CLEMSON Oct Virginia Tech played a magnificent first halt this afternoon and then spent the second standing off Clemson and heat prostration to score an 18-7 decision It was the most notable victory of a season which so far has been made up of nothing but smashing triumphs The Gobblers swift striking Light Brigade with Wonder Boy Howie Wright and Dickie Beard leading the assault beat C3em-son on the head three times with its own mistakes the first two quarters to take an 18-0 lead at halftime Then Tech had to fight every inch of the way in 95-degree-plus temperature to preserve its third straight conquest of the season Two Quick Score A pass interception and two fumble recoveries brought Tech m' brace of touchdowns before the game was nine minutes old and a third 45 seconds from the end of the second quarter Clemson made fmly two penetrations of Tech territory the first half and seemed to do nothing' but spend time there the second It 'was equal parts of the seating heat and Don King which kept Tech gasping for breath in the later stages Kept out of action through most of the first half because of the knee injury which had kept him benchbound the week before against Georgia King was a constant threat with his faking bun handling and pasting in the second half Tech Goa) line Stand Tech stalled Clemson a foot from a touchdown the final play of the third quarter before King threw a 39-yard scoring strike to End Harry Hicks early in the fourth Clemson stormed into Tech territory twice more before Leo Burke took the anxious Gobbler faithful off the hook with less than two minutes remaining by intercepting a King flat puss on the six and returning 55 yards before being overtaken by exhaustion and a pair of Clemson tacklers Running out the clock after that Tech presently marched off the field with three for three against Atlantic Coast Conference opposition from the Carolina! and a wins against a team most people including Frank Moseley the coach had been saying might be the strongest on the schedule If this wss the big test Tech passed it handsomely even though Beard muffed three conversion tries something which looked as if it could be fatal at times in the second half The Gobblers ran Clemson into the grotihd the opening half with Wright and Beard giving the Tiger flanks a beating and with Johnny Dean turning in one of Continued on Page 4

Gamecocks 26-6 Wyant tossed for one touchdown and sneaked across for two others as the big Mountaineers stunned a capacity crowd of 31000 fans which had come out expecting to see the conquerors of Army score their second victory Instead a rugged West Virginia line sneered at the vaunted ground game and marched 78 yards in 11 plays of their own from the opening kickoff The only pass was a flve-yarder from Wyant to End Bill Hillen for the score to cap the opening drive Wyant a sawed-off 195-pound junior quarterbacked other scoring drives of 52 and 73 yards He sneaked across for both

returning fifth-game ticket money to the fans just as the Giants will have to redeem tickets for the phantom sixth and seventh Lightly regarded as 17-10 underdogs against Cleveland's three" pitching staff the underrated Giants never let the Tribe off the floor After taking the thrilling 10 inning opener 5-2 and beating Early Wynn in the 3-1 second game they moved into home park to floor the Tribe for the third time 6-2 and finally put them out for the count Giants Get 335480 With the sweep went the big share of the richest player pool in history 379876372 The two series participants whack up 70 per cent of 355913460 The Giants' pot comes to $33548076 and the Indians $22365384 Commissioner Ford Frick's office refused to announce how the clubs split the loot but it is understood Cleveland has about 38 shares Without knowing for sure how they divided the money each winner should get about $9000 and each loser about $6000 At the end it was Antonelli the young lefthander the snared from Milwaukee with Liddle in the trade for Bobby Thomson who officiated at the burial services Puts Down Threat Wilhelm had put down a seventh-inning Cleveland threat that produced one run but was in a jam with two on and one out in the eighth when Durocher called for Antonelli the $65000 bonus baby of a few years back In came the Rochester youngster to blow a third strike past Vic Wertz whose eight hits were high for the series Wally Westlake looked at a called third trike to end the last real threat Antonelli walked Sam Dente opening the ninth but got Jim Hegan to foul out and fanned Pinch Hitter Dave Philley Then Dale Mitchell batting for Dave Pope lofted a feeble foul pop to Third Baseman Hank Thompson who gathered it fondly in his glove to touch off a hilarious Giant bench Impromptu Celebration Out they swarmed from the dugout for an impromptu victory celebration near the spot where Thompson caught the ball for the final out that ended seven years of American League series domination The last Nationals to win were the St Louis Cards in 1946 and it took them seven games Hie last Giants world champions were in 1933 when they beat Washington And the Giants today did it without Dusty Rhodes pinch hitting hero of the first three triumphs who finished the series on the bench with a 667 batting average while Monte Irvin his in" as the left field starter -in every game

punt 93 yards and rushed for another on a six-inch sneak today as William and Mary upset Pennsylvania 27-7 for the second straight loss Sumner from Salem Va put the torch to the Indians' victory fire with a 93-yard touchdown print that for all practical purposes put the game out of Penn's reach That was second touchdown of the game A third score by the Indians came before the end of the half Penn finally found a scoring punch in the third period as Walt Hynoski sprinted 30 yards around end for the first TD by the Red and Blue since Steve Sebo became coach this year The big difference between the teams was great running and a slashing line that beat Penn to the punch on offense and defense It was three years ago on this same field that Sumner first showed his heels to the Penns lugging a kickoff return 89 yards for a core that helped the Southerners upset Penn 20-12 Today with his team leading 6-0 in the second quarter Sumner caught a punt on his seven faked a handoff and headed to the sideline at his right He got two big blocks there by Sam Scott and Bob Meith that broke him Into the clear at the 35 and he sped down the line barely fast enough to escape a desperation tackle by Fred Dustin at the Penn 10 In addition to scoring twice Sumner passed for another touchdown In the fourth quarter a ball that was tipped by Penn's John Gurskie and caught on the three-yard line by Bob Hornsby who stumbled over the goaL The third touchdown capped a 38-yard drive with a 23-yard scoring pass from Continued on Page 4 Column 5 Scores Mtmekis State 0 AbN Christian 0 Jacksonville Ala

of Indians the Cleveland Indians had never lost a World Series Of course this was only the third tiwi the Indians had won the American League pennant and as a result played the National standard-bearers Until this afternoon Leo Durocher admittedly one of the finest managers in baseball history had not masterminded a team to a World Series victory in 1941 Durocher missed with the Dodgers against the New York Yankees In 1951 with his Miracle" Giants he again missed against the Yankees But Leo made it today made it the easy way for the second straight afternoon and the Giants did something no other team ot Giants has done-swept the big series in four games The Mc-Gravian Giants of 1922 won four games without a loss to Babe Ruth and the Yankees but there was a tie game that
