Standout Hurling
Marks Yankees'
4-Game Sweep
By JOE BRED
The World Series of 1950
is now in the record books,
much to the joy of Yankee
fans and the dismay of Phil
lies' followers.
Looking back on this
year's classic, the one feature that
stands out above everything else
is the pitching. From the first toss
of the opening game, the hurlers

held command throughout the en
tire series. As a• matter of fact,
the 15 runs scored by the two
teams set a Series low mark.
The four game sweep was the
sixth such feat for the Yanks and
the first since the New Yorkers
turned the trick in 1939 with Cin
cinnati as the victim.
DiMag Stars
Next to the pitchers, the Yan
kee heroes would include Jo e
DiMaggio, Jerry Coleman and
Phil Rizzuto. DiMag proved that
he still ranks as a top center
fielder when on two occasions he
held Phil runners to doubles on
hits that could easily have gone
for triples against someone else.
In addition, his work with the

In the second quarter it was
Lane who stopped a Bison rally

his fourth of the day. Buss then
moved over to Lane's center po

at a 7-2 score.
The second half was dull by

Jeffrey Thinks So
Soccer coach Bill Jeffrey said
yesterday that JOe Lane's sev
en goals in the Bucknell game
may be a national record. He
added that he did not know •of
any other college player who
ever scored seven times
,in one
contest. It is definitely a Penn
State record.
"I took Lane out twice," he
said, "and didn't tell him that
he was breaking the record."
Commenting further on the
game, Jeffrey said "Bucknell
became completely demoral
ized. When they scored their
two goals in the second quar
ter, our boys were determined
to get them back."

Coach Jeffrey cleared his bench
in an attempt to keep down the
mounting score, but it could not
be halted. It was no real test for
State's defense but the perfor
mance of the entire team indi
cated that here is a team that will
not be defeated easily.

With Bob Blaik's passing eat

rolled to first down on the five,
from where Blaik tossed a fourth

seconds of the second quarter. It
was the same combination that
clicked three minutes later to
give Army a 14-0 halftime edge.
