FEIDAY, SEPZ°EIVIEER 25, 1953 SPOlt ,lOl I PREtoltlION: Casey Stengel and his New York Yankees will Win their fifth straight World Chatripioriship when they meet the Brook lyn Dodgers hi the' World Series next week. The Bombers have been given the edge in the odds but many feel that nothing will stop the Dodgers this year. In fact a 'two dollar bet iii Flatbush tight now would probably pay a hrindi-ed-folil. The clan from across• the river just refuses 'to believe that its 4 131.1in§ " cah, be beaten. And small wonder. The Flock dropped only 17 gafries at Ebbets Field this season so Brooklynaes have become accustomed to Seeing a vriimirig ball However, we feel a little different in this corner. On paper the IWO teams are aim/sst even 4, matched) but; no matter What the odds, the Bombers are still the best Chitth fearii in baseball. Stengel has ,a well balanced club, With the required spirit, 'and plenty of ability. Position-for-position the Dodgers hold a slight edge—until- it conies at pitching—ii decided advairt&ge for the Champs here. Roy Cainpahella is having a great year all around, but Yogi Berra is running a very close second. At first base it's the Dodgers again. Gil Hodges has made a gigantic comeback from last season's series letdown. HoweVer, Joe Collins and Dori Bollvieg - are still plenty dangerons. Well give the Yanks the nod' at second. Bah Juriior Gilliam and Billy Martin are , fine fielders and evenly matched at the plate, but Martin has a firey 'competitive spirit that has made him a Champion. Phil Rizzlito and Pee Wee Reese are the spark plugs of both clubs. We'll have to call it a draw, adding that we think they are the best two shortstops in baseball today. At third base the Brooks' Billy Cox gets the nod, although he and Oil IVlacDougal are es sentially differefit type ball players. Cox has a definite edge in the fielding department and owns a slightly higher batting average. However, MacDougal is a home run threat. Both outfields are terrific. Duke Snyder, Jackie Robinson and Carl Ftirrillo pack a cannon-load of speed and 'power. But the ProfesSor's trio—Gene Woodling, Mickey Mazitle,' arid Hank Bauer— compose plenty of baseball muscle. There isn't a weak fielder on, either club here; and all six can hit the ,long ball. In the pitching department the Yankees move into the lead. With hiztlerS like Allie Reynolds, Ed Lopat ; ELd Ford, John 56..111, Bob Kuzava, Jim McDonald, Bill Miller, and rookie Steve Kraley at his finger tips, 'Ol Case gains a decided a.dirantage in• a relatively short, series such as the Championship Classic 18. However Charlie Dressen, the Dodger mastermind, can call on some fait country hurlers himself.• Carl Erskine, Clem tabine; Billy Loes, and Joe Black form the nucleous of a first-rate staff. Not quite enough, how- ever, to match the Yankees. Stengel has one more point of strength in his favor, however. His bench is loaded. First of all, there's Johnny Mize, still one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball. The "Big Cat" came off the Yankee bench often as a pinch hitter this season and pounded op posing pitchers at a .600-plus clip. The retain of Capt. Gerry Cole man from the Marines along With Andy Carey gives Casey added defensive strength in a pinch. Don Boliweg can step in at first base where he proved himself this season., and Iry Noren is a flashy outfielder who hits in the clutch. This Will be the 46th World Series. There have been many great ones, including last season, when these same clubs met. There have been many thrills, and many letdowns. This series could be the greatest of them all. Two great ball clubs will clash at-Ebbets Field Saturday for the Baeball Champion ship of the World. We think Casey and his Bombers will overthrow the law of averages which is pushing so strongly against them and win number five. Faculty Club To Hear Coach Sever Toretti, associate Profes sor of physical education, will ad dress the Faculty Luncheon Club at noon. Monday at the State Col lege Hotel. Toretti, a member of the foot ball coaching staff, will speak on "How to Watch a Football- Game." Weekly club meetings are open to the faculty.

It, you had been at the Saucon Valley Country Club near leheiti on 0ct. , 17, 106 you might haVe been a little bewildered. Why? Well, hem Would you feel if you SaW seven young men in short trunks running around side ,by side with their hands linked? You might suspect that they vrete running from some one, maybe the police . Your sus picions and itnagination might have been' heightened Wheri yoti noticed that they all wort catds with nuitibeft ori But, if •YOu.had gone over to the ci•OWd of Men Who stood around two men . who held a string stretched between them, you might have had softie of your questions answered. If you had asked who the sev en Men' Were, yoti would have learned that they were Lions. You would alSo have learned that there were some other men chas ing them, and that they were Engineers. Makes sense, doesn't it? Engineers chasing Lions! HoweVer, if you had inquired a little bit more you would have learned that the ,Engineers were from Lehigh UniVer:sity and that the Lions hailed from Penn State. You would have been informed that the string was the finish line for the cross-country race, and that the seven Lions had just swept to a victory over the En gineers, 15-40. Someone would have told you that the seven men were Howard Downey,' Captain, Pete Olexy, Charley Clark, Herb Hazard, Len Henderson, Charley Pierce and Bert Aikinan. You undoubtedly would have heard Someone 'extoll the win ning time of 29:08 for the wet and sloppy five-and-a-gUarter niile A Lehigh rooter would surely have told you that a Lehigh freshman nettled Elmer had paced the entire race as he finished with a time Of 28:00. He Would also have bemoaned the fact that Elmer's time did not count since he had not officially been entered in the competition. Seeing may be believing, but it may also be bewildering.

Yankee manager Casey Stengel refused to be today _on his first game starter except to say that Lopat would pitch the first two games. He did not say in what order; though. Stengel declared he still had not decided on his third game pitcher but •indicated the Choice lies between righthander Vic Ras chi and southpaw Eddie Ford. Either Raschi or Ford will work against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. 'Whichever gets the nod for that game most likely will be the No. 3 starter. The other prob ably will pitch the fourth game. Stengel, gunning for his fifth consecutive - World title, expressed his satisfaction with the pitching of both Reynolds and Lopat in their last outings.
