The runs were scored when the pitch spurted away from Berra. "I don't know for sure, but I think Gorman threw another pitch from the one Yogi called for," said Stengel of the frantic ninth-inning play on which Peewee Reese and Jackie Robinson scampered home with the runs, that ultimately produced a 5-3 victory for the Dodgers. THE DETROIT FREE PRESS But the ashen-faced clouter, who hit an eighth-inning homer, displayed a smashed index finger injured in the desperate attempt to hold Gorman's pitch.

Gorman himself couldn't tell whether he'd crossed up his catcher. "Yogi signaled for a fast ball, and I thought that's what I threw," he said. "My fast ball sinks and breaks into a right-handed hitter like Andy Pafko." "Well, somebody was mixed up," Stengel snorted. Berra doubted whether he would be able to play in the fourth" game of the World Series Saturday. "I just don't know," the stocky catcher said.

"It hurts, and I know it's going to hurt tomorrow. I just don't know whether I'll be able to do it." Berra's finger 'the index finger was swarthed in a huge bandage as he glumly dressed after the Yankees' defeat. FOOTBALL GREEN ports Section SO DID OTHERS who refused to be quoted directly since Berra was quick to shoulder the blame himself. "I signaled for a fast ball and I got a fast ball but couldn't hold it, that's all," said Yogi.

Con- BY LYALL SMITH rrM Frew Sports Editor NEW YORK Elwyn (Preacher) Roe, a lanky 31-year-old Arkansan who pitches like he talks real soft and slow "preached" a long sermon here to the New York Yankees and 66,698 customers. And when it was ended after two hours and 56 minutes, he had led the flock of Brooklyn Dodgers safely through the Valley of the Bronx with a 5-3 victory to give them a surprise 2-1 lead in this 1952 World Series.

He accomplished his mission on six hits, Including home runs by Catcher Yogi Berra and Pinch-hitter Johnny Mize, while his Brooklyn followers were assaulting Southpaw Eddie Lopat for 10 blows and Reliefer Tom Gorman (in the ninth) for an 11th. Roe, whose only other Series appearance in 1949 resulted in a 1-0 decision over the Yankees, never was behind after the fifth inning. BUT HE ACTUALLY needed a couple of charitable contributions in the ninth from Berra to provide followers of his Brooklyn camp -meeting their chance to really howl long into the night. When thatf rame finally arrived, after a drawn-out performance whicn had seen both teams unable to cash in on excellent chances, the "Preacher" held a slim 3-0 lead. Lopat, whose World Series record stood at three straight triumphs, still was throwing his assortment of dlpsy-do tosses which, like Roe's, often seemed to need the help of a coolish breeze to reach home plate.

With one out, Captain Pee Wee Reese singled to right for his third hit of the day and when Jackie Robinson lashed out his second blow. Manager Casey Stengel decided that this did not look like Lopat's finest afternoon. So he brought in Gorman, a right-handed rookie, from the bullpen. While Young Tom was pitching to Roy Campanella, first Dodger to face him, the artful Dodgers Reese and Robinson pulled a double-steal at the expense of Berra whose hurried throw to third base was too little and too late to cut down the flying Reese. SINCE YOGI had made a horrendous muff of a foul pop in the previous Inning, Yankee adherents did not exactly applaud the result of the Dodgers daring at his expense this time.

But after Campanella obligingly had popped to the infield for the second out, they then saw Yogi emerge from the third game with real goatish horns. Andy Pafko was the hitter and Gorman had fired two strikes CHUCK TAYLOR Stanford's coach The Records Taylor lifetime: W-9, L-2, T-0. 1931 RESULTS t7 Orrxna SO 2j Sao St. 13 Mi.hicaa 1:1 41 CM 7 1 Santa Clara 14 14 Hanhlndon 7 SI Hnh.

IS PRE-SEASON predictions, Michigan was tagged for one of the also-rans in the Big Ten race, where they finished fourth in 1951. But the Wolverines kicked a hole in that kind of talk last when they scored two quick touchdowns and threatened to upset mighty Michigan State before bowing, 27 to 13. Ted Kress, junior halfback playing his first college football, apparently has supplied the tailback the Wolverines have been needing since Chuck Ortmann was graduated. His strong off-tackle running and 'sharp passing stamped him a a fine prospect. Ted Topor, a southpaw passer at quarterback, gives the Wolverines an additional aerial threat, witb End Lowell Perry, an Ail-American candidate, the principal target.

I THE STANFORD TEAM: BY BOB LATSHAVV free Prcu Staff Writer LOS ANGELES The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams, two of the pre-season title favorites, were both looking for their first victory as they collided here Friday night. The Rams are the National Football League defending champions and split in two meetings with Detroit last year. Jim Hardy was quarterbacking for the Lions at the start as the teams opened slowly. Neither could make a first down until after an exchange of punts when Detroit moved to the Rams' 38. THE DRIVE stalled, and finally ended with Herb Rich intercepting a Bobby Layne pass and returning it to the Detroit 37.

The Rams were stopped cold on this chance and wound up punting out on the 22. lor, now In his second season at jiis Alma Mater, had some professional coaching experience and the Indians use some of the pros' fancies. Most of the key figures in last year's victory over Michigan have departed from Palo Alto. That includes Gary Kerkorian, half of the famed "shishkabob" backfield twins, who also included Harry Hugasian. Kerkorian threw the passes which beat the Wolverines last year and End Bill McColl, now with the Chicago Bears, caught them.

THE RETURN EES Include Bob Mathias, the two-time Olympic decathlon champion, who started breaking in at fullback against Michigan a year ago. He played only on kickoffs in that game but came along during the be the key ball carrier. The team's top passer is Bob Garrett, who is considered as good a pitcher, at least mechanically, Ktrkoriaa, plays later when the quarter ended. OX THE FIRST play of the second period Layne tossed a pass the flat to Cloyce Box, who stepped into the end zone for a touchdown. Walker converted and Detroit led, 7 to 0.

The Rams drove Into Detroit territory fromthe kickoff, but yielded on downs on the Lions' 43. From there Detroit drove for another touchdown. Jug Girard ran for 12 and took 26-yard pass from Layne to reach the 14. Penalties set Detroit back after getting to the eight, but Layne fired a payoff pass down the renter to Box, who took it in the end zone for his second tally. Walker converted for a 14-0 lead.

The Rams responded with a Michigan vs. Stanford at Roster 75-Stribe, 77- Walker, 78- 79- Bennett, 81- Topp, 82- Dingman, 83- Stanford, 84- Green, 85- Perry, 86- Knutson, 88- Veselenak, 89- Bates, 90- Dutter, 93-McIntyre, 91- Rahrlg, Roster 47 Borda, 48 Roberg, 49 Mathias, 50 Grelner, 51 Stornm, 52 Revak, 58 Garrett, 54 Rannells, 55 Steere, 56 Eeglan, 57 Cook, 58 Day, 59 Watson, 60 Morley, 61 Mayrhofer, 63 Kaprielian, 63 Jones, 64 Eldredge, 65 Krlckbtrg, Unbeaten Indians Have Fingers Crossed for Wolverines Have Score to Square ivith Indians Stanford 2 -Stewart, Munn, 4 Eadle, 5 Trieb, 6 Thompson, 7 Vlck, 9 24 Hoegh, 23 Goldberg, 27 CasteUuccI, 28 Howe, 29 Carlson, SO Crist, 81 Montelth, Stanford doesn't have manv visions of another Cinderella eason like the one which carried the Indians to the Rose Bowl last year. But the Indians will be trying for their third straieht victory 'this season when they tangle with Michigan in the television game of the week. They beat Santa Clara then squeezed past Washington State in their first two games. THEY ALSO will be trying for two in a row against Michigan, following last year's 23-13 victory at Ann Arbor.

That was one of their nine triumphs in 10 regular season starts. The Rose Bowl was another matter. Stanford took a 40-7 lacing from powerful Illinois. That's one reason the Indians would especially like to humble Michigan. There have been few enough victories for Pacific Coast team when they met up with Big Ten outfiU in the past.

The Indians are a formation team and they take their I straight. Coach Chuck fay Until last season, no Michigan football team ever had bowed to one from the Pacific Coast Conference. The 1952 Wolverines, an enterprising outfit with more punch than was expected, will try to rectify that Saturday when they meet Stanford in television's game of the week at Palo Alto, Calif. IT WAS the self -same Indians who inflicted the Coast conference's first setback on the Michigan record book. In an early-season game at Ann Arbor just a year ago, Stanford marked up a 23-13 decision on the passing combination of Gary Kerkorian-to-Bill McColl.

I'ntll then, Michigan had met and defeated California 2), Oregon (1). Southern California (1) and Stanford (3) In seven intervctional games. Actually, Michigan has one of the best intersections! records in college football. The Wolverines have won 60, lost 38 and tied five, against teams from outside their, own section.
