Up-Lifted Dodgers Turn
Yanks 7 Error Into Rally;
Win Second Game, 13-8
BROOKLYN, Oct. 5 (/P) —The aroused Brooklyn Dodgers
staged the greatest winning rally in a World Series game sincr
the 1929 Philadelphia A’s today to erase a six-run deficit an.
whipe the pitching-poor New York Yankees 13-8 for their sec
ond straight Series victory.
Trailing 6-0 after Yogi Berra’s grand slam homer in th.
'second, the Dodgers thrilled 36,2'
Ebbets Field fans with a six-ru;
spurt in the second, capped b:
Duke Snider’s 10th Series homf
with two on. Joe Collins’ costl
error on a potential double pla.
ball opened the gates.
Yanks Used Seven Pitchers
[ While Manager Casey Steng<
paraded seven pitchers to th
mound for a record in the longes
nine-inning Series game eve
played, the Dodgers went on 1
win on a pair of two-run doubl
by quiet Gil Hodges. Junior Gi
liam’s two-run single in the eighi
completed the rout of the proui
Yanks.
Records fluttered from the pre;
box microphone like leaves froi
a stricken oak during the wild ba.
game that packaged a weird mix
ture of base hits, walks and er
Irors. When the last out was ri
(corded, three hours and 26 min
utes after the start, many of th<
customers already were on th(
way back to their warm hotf
rooms.
ICCB Sets
Oct. 30, 31
Voting Dates
In a reversal of its earlier de
cision to set no date for fall stu
dent council elections, the Inter-
Collegiate Conference Board de
cided Thursday night the elections
should be held Oct. 30 and 31.
The change was made because
the board members said they felt
a uniform election date would
eliminate needless confusion for
students as well as for the coun
cils.
No Dale Originally
The C'iginal plan was to allow
each of the nine college councils
to set its own election date. This
would have freed the councils
from constitutional provisions re
quiring them to elect representa
tives on a date set by the board.
Some of the councils have no
such provisions, and have always
been free to act independently.
If ho date had been set, all the
councils would have had equal
freedom to schedule elections.
More Students May Vote
After further consideration of
this plan, the board decided the
councils would benefit more from
holding elections at the same time
than from being allowed to set
their own election date. An in
creased percentage of students
voting and better understanding
of council functions are expected
to result, Donald Patterson, ICCB
president, said.
ICCB is still planning to set a
date for spring council elections.
The board is made up of the
presidents of the nine college stu
dent councils, and is designed to
work on All-University Cabinet
projects and keep in contact with
the classes and the hat societies.
Court Decision Upheld
On Seven Newspapermen
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5 ( /P ) — Pennsylvania’s Supreme
Court today upheld contempt of court convictions of seven
newspapermen for violating a photo ban and said a court’s
dignity and orderly administration of justice take precedent
over freedom of the press.
“Whether or not rreeodm of the
press is immaterial since such
freedom 'is subject to reasonable
rules seeking maintenance of the
court’s dignity and orderly ad
ministration of justice,” wrote
Justice John C. Arnold in a ma
jority opinion.
The newsmen were convicted
for taking photos of convicted
turnpike slayer John Wesley Wa
ble in a corridor of the West
moreland County Courthouse at
Greensburg, Pa., despite a court
order banning the taking of pho
tos in courtrooms or in corridors
within' 40 feet of the entrance to
a courtroom. Wable, who has since
been executed, was photographed
as he was led through a corridor
toward a courtroom for sentenc
ing.
Justice Michael A. Musmanno
filed the only full dissent to the
court’s decision, saying "the Su
preme Court has struck a stinging
blow against freedom of the
press.” 1

STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 6. 1956
Storied Rally Told
As the Brooks rallied in the
second, greybeards of. the press
coop recalled the storied rally by
the Athletics who came up with
10 runs in the seventh inning Oct.
12, 1929 to overcome an 8-0 Chi
cago Cub lead. That game, 27
years ago, was the famous con
test in which Hack Wilson* lost
Mule Haas’ fly ball in the sun for
a three-run homer.
With the exception of Don Bes
sent, the Dodgers’ talented relief
er who became the winning pitch
er after big Don Newcombe was
chased, the pitchers involved
should hang their heads and go
stand in the corner. Never have
so many accomplished so little.
Snider's tenth Homer
Those who search Series games
for heroes can have their choice.
Snider broke his own National
League Series record by hitting
his tenth homer, tying Lou Gehr
ig among the all-time greats. Only
Babe Ruth’s 15 in ten Series tops
it. And this is only the Duke’s
1 fifth Series.
■ Justice John C. Belli Jr. filed a
concurring and dissenting opinion,
saying photos were properly ban
ned in courtrooms, entrances to
courtrooms and jails but not in
corridors.
Each newsman had been fined
and given a five-day jail term by
the Westmoreland Court. The Su
preme Court set aside the jail sen
tences but imposed the fines.
Those convicted were publish
ers William Block of the Pitts
burgh Post-Gazette and David W.
Mack of the Greensburg Tribune-
Review. editor Andrew Bernhard
of the Post-Gazette, Photog
raphers Don Bindyke and James
Klingensmith of the Post-Gazette,
reporter Vince Johnson of the
Post-Gazette and Robert Purdy,
a Pittsburgh photographer em
ployed by the Tribune-Review.
Bock, Mack and Bernhard each
was fined $5OO. The others were
fined $lOO apiece.'

Cabinet Discusses Grant
To Aid Foreign Student
All-University Cabinet may sppnsor a room and board
scholarship enabling a foreign student to attend the Univer
sity next year for one academic year.
The proposal was presented to the group at Thursday
night’s meeting by Barbara Hendel. National Student Asso
ciation representative. After discussion the request, Cabinet
postponed action .until. Thursday j
night’s meeting.
Miss Hendel told Cabinet the
University gives eight scholar
ships a year—totaling $5BO apiece
—to foreign students. “I have
been assured.” she said, “that if
we vote a scholarship for room
and board for one student, the
University will see that he gets
one of the $5BO scholarships for
tuition and fees.”
She told the group a room and
board scholarship would total ap
proximately $7OO.
The proposed scholarship would
coincide with NSA’S Foreign Stu
dent Leadership Project. This
project, Miss Hendel said, realizes
that leadership is at a premium
in many foreign countries. If a
student could .come to this coun
try, take part in student govern

John Kersh, Hat Society Coun
cil president, said the council
hopes to put the system into ef
fect for the Holy Cross game next

The plan must be approved by
Harold R. Gilbert, assistant direc
itor to the athletic business man
ager, before the system goes into
| effect Gilbert was not available
.for comment last night.
Merle Brooks, Scrolls member,
and Sally Jervis. Cwens member,
are in charge of drawing up the
plans for the system.
Three hundred-four freshmen
volunteers, seated in the middle
of the freshman section, will per
form the tricks. Each person will
have a card.
These cards will be navy blue
on one side and white on the oth
er. The directions will be written
on the cards.
For the first game or two the
tricks will consist only of words
and phrases, such as “Roar Lions
Roar.” After the students become
more experienced, comic tricks
will be used.
Freshman volunteers will meet
at 6:45 Thursday in 121 Sparks.
An explanation and practice ses
sion will be held at that time. A
second and final practice will be
held just prior to game time on
Oct. 13.

Four members from each Society
will act as ushers and directors of
the system at the games.

will meet at 8:15 Tuesday in 233
: Sparks to discuss actual working
‘plans.
to supply some of the needed
leadership for his country.
Aimed at interesting foreign
students v.’ho have or can be rea
sonably expected to have posi
tions or responsibilities which
command the respect of the other
members of their community, the
project is subsidized by a $128,000
grant to NSA by the Ford Foun
dation.
Although the students’ tuition,
fees, room and board would be
furnished by the University and
Cabinet, his travelling expenses
would be furnished by NSA.
Miss Hendel told the group the
foreign, student would have to
pay for books and clothes.
Following the foreign student
proposal, Cabinet members were
told they would meet at 1:15 to
day in back of Old Main to take
the sorority presidents to the Uni
versity Christian Association cab
in for an’informal discussion.
