Brooks Take Series Lead As Berra's Error Decides • - NEW YORK (W)—Yogi Berra pulled a horrendous blunder by letting two Brooklyn runs stream home on a passed ball while the dazed catcher stood by in the ninth inning yesterday. As a result the Dodgers took the. World Series lead, two games to one, with a .53 • victory over the New York • Yankees on Preacher Roe's gritty six-hit pitching.. Berra's glaring error, boosting a 3-2 Dodger lead to 5-2 at the time, became an agonizing night mare when Johnny Mize deliv ered a pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the ninth that would have tied the score. There were men on second and third, as the result •of a double steal following back-to-back 'sin- gles by Peewee Reese and Jackie Robinson, when relief pitcher Tom Gorman threw an inside 2-2 pitch to Andy Pafko. The ball glanced off Berra's left hand and rolled to the screen near the Brooklyn dugout, about 75 feet from the plate. Berra whirled around and then stopped .as the .ball ..rolled to the FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1952 Lions Meet W&M in Bid for 241 Win Biology in Action Two Lion Squads Cheered by Rootery Undaunted by brisk autumn weather, a fair-sized crowd assem bled-last night in-front of Olcb,Main to demonstrate lion-sized, en thusiasm in response to an appeal by Alan McChesney, head cheer leader.

Keep Up Spirit At Beaver Field-- See Page 4 Tribe Expected To Give State Tough Contest By JAKE HIGHTON Penn State's unbeaten but once-tied football team goes after 'its second win of the season this afternoon against a definitely upset- minded William and Mary eleven. Kickoff for State's third straight Beaver Field, contest is 1:30 p.m. Clear skies are predicted for W&M's first visit to Beaver Field aince 1922 when the Lions won, 27-7, in the only previous meeting of the two schools. Tough Game The Indians own a 1-1 record on the season having dropped Virginia Military Institute 34-12 and losing last week to Wake Forest, 28-21. However, the In dians outplayed, out first-downed, out rushed and out passed the Deacons— a team which ranked first in th e nation defensively last year. Coach Rip Engle expects a "tough game" from a W&M team which will be led by one of the nation's outstanding backfield performers, Ed "Meadows" Mio dusowski. Engle said yesterday that his Lions are in "excellent spirits" and "not overconfident" because they tied Purdue, 20-20, last 'week. The 4952 Lions-are not the Prima Donna type ballclub. High-Powered Offensive The last time W&M ventured into the Keystone State—last year to play Penn—it stunningly up set the Red and Blue. 20-12, to enhance its excellent 7-3 record. This year the Indians have the same kind of goods to administer another upset. The high-powered Indian offense has rolled up 829 yards in two games this season -412 against VMI and 417 against Wake Forest. Heading a crew of some of the hardest hitting backs in the South is brilliant All - Southern Mea dows who is currently third in the nation in total offense. No wonder! Against Wake Forest last week he personally picked up 285 yards on the ground and through the air-40 more. yards than the entire Deacon team. Meadows, quarterback behind the tricky W&M split T, can be expected to give Nittany fans the same cho k e d feeling they got every time Purdue's Dale Samuels held the ball last week. The W&M bellwethext operates the split-T optionals to perfection with handoffs, passes or "keeps." Helping Meadows out is a crack backfield tabbed as the "Lone some Foursome." Four tough run ners have run every W&M play except one this season. Righthalf Bruce Sturgess owns a 7.4 aver age per try, fullback Roger Bow man owns a 8.3 average, and left half Tom Koller is the "worst" of the four quartet with a 2.7 average.
