Terry Stops Giants, 1-0;
Yankees Win 20th Series
SAN FRANCISCO (,rP)
Ralph Terry, home run ball
goat of 1960 in Pittsburgh,
pitched - the proud New York
Yankees to their 20th world
championship yesterday with
a magnificent 1-0, four-hitter
against San Francisco in the
tingling seventh game of the
Wc.•ld
l'lft battling Giants struggled
to tne final out when Willie Mc-
Covey lined a sizzler to Bobby
Richardson with men on second
and third. _
Terry, a' boyishly handsome
young man from Big Cabin, Okla.,
retired the first 17 Giants he
faced until Jack Sanford, his
pitching rivar for the third -time,-
singled to right 'center with two
gone in-tbe sixth.
This was the same Terry who
threw the home tun ball to Bill
Mazeroski in the final game at
Forbes Field in 1960. The 26-year
old right-hander was , uperb in
this blue ribbon effort. Going to
the - ninth he.had„a two-hitter.
The 43,948 fans- at wind-swept
Candlestick Park rose to their
'feet and chanted "go, go, go” in
football style as the Giants came
up for their last fling in this first
Series in San Francisco history.
MATTY ALOU. a pinch hitter,
dropped a beautiful drag . bunt
toward Richardson and befit it
out for a base hit. There was
that big run, sitting on first base
with nobody out.
Felipe Alou, Matty's older
brother, tried to bunt once but
fouled the first pitch, swung on
the second pitch and finally
struck out. T h e missed bunt
proved fatal.
After Chuck Hiller struck out,
- Willie Mays came through with
a smash to the right field corner,
good for two bases. Matty Alou
- raced to third" and stopped when
.Roger Maris' throw to Richard
son was relayed promptly to
Elston Howard at the plate.
Ralph Houk. the Yankee mane
geacame out to._talle to his pitch
er With McCovey, a 6-feet-4, 200-
pound left-handed slugger, next
at bat. McCovey had hit a tower
ing home run- off Terry in the
second game.
McCOVEY SWUNG from his
keels and delivered a long foul
that the wind helped swerve into
the right field- stands. Terry,
pitching carefully, threw once
more. 'The ball rocketed back at
Richardson, almost toppling the
little second' baseman.' But he
held on and the ball game was
over. A foot—or maybe six in
ches--either • way—and they
would have been dancing in the
street at_ Market and Power. •
The lone run of this well
pitched final game was scored in
the fifth with Bill Skowron com
ing,home while the Giant infield
completed a double play on Tony
Kubek's smash to short.
Sanford had been throwing
goose eggs, too, although his con
trol was off and he was strug
gling, In the third the Yanks had
men on first and second with two

Skowron opened the fifth with
a ground single to left, the second
Yankee hit. Clete Boyer promptly,
'followed with a single to left
center, moving the Moose to

SANFORD THEN made_ his
tal error, walking Terry on four
straight pitches. That loaded the
bases with nobody out. If he had
retired Terry, the subsequent
double play by ,Kubek would
have eased him out of the inning
instead of yielding the deciding
run:

RALPH TERR
This was the Yanks' 20th World
Series triumph in 27 classics and
the Giants' 10th defeat in 15 Se
ries. Not since 1922 have the Gi
ants beaten the Yanks, who hold
a 5-2 edge in their private rivalry
that used to be a "Subway Se
ries" but now means 'a coast-to
coast jet fare.
"It was the biggest thrill of my
life," Terry said in the clubhouse.
"But r-4--that's how close the
teams were in every respect in
this Series. The Giants-are a great
ball club,'
"I'm aure'glad he •hit that ball
right at somebody," said manager
Houk. "He couldn't have hit it
much better: But I don't care how
hard they hit them if they hit
them at somebody," Houk said
in the jubilation of the Yanks
dressing room.
HOUK WAS talking about the
rifle shot line drive that Mc-
Covey hit at Richardson to end
the game.
"Phew; what a ball game,"
Houk exclaimed. "That was realbr
a squeaker.
"We made some good plays.
Tom Tresh's catch' on Mays in
the seventh- inning saved the
game. So did fast fielding by
Maris on Mays' double in the
ninth:
"And the Giants didn't do any
thing to disgrace themselves
either. They fought us right down
to the last out of the seventh
game."
Howard, the - catcher, said the
victory was "the greatest game
Terry ever pitched?'
"Were we nervous?" Howard
said. "were we nervous? We were
all tight. It was the last game of
the World,'Series."
As the of the hairbreadth
victory wore off. the Yan,kees
seemed to come to life.
Terry called tor" champagne,
and a glass was handed to 1.
With the glass in hand, Terry
leaned back again, banged his
head against the back of the
locker a few times as if to make
sure that he was awake and not
dreaming, and said, again:
"What an ending."
Gursky May Return;
Cau►n to Test Knee
- By JOHN MORRIS ' ,
Sports Editor i
The Penn State football picture, darker than the other
side of the moon just two days ago, was brightened somewhat
yesterday by the announcement that halfback Al Gursky and
quarterback Don Caum may be able to play against Syracuse_
Saturday. • . '-_ . .
Head trainer Chuck Medlar said tht Gursky had a badly
bruised side, rather than a broken rib as originally feared.
..
k..- 4 .
- 1
.
Injured in the Lions' opening
game, Gursky missed both the
Air Forte and Rice games. He
returned to action Saturday, but
w•as hurt again the first time the
Lions got the ball.
Anxious to get back into play
ing condition, Gursky is at a loss
to explain the injuries that have
hampered him all fall.
-1 just don't understand it," the
big halfback said yesterday. "I
have spent more time in the
training room this fall than 1
have in all the time I've beep
here."
*GURSKTS RETURN, if he Is
able to play Saturday, would give
the Lions an experienced opera
tive to alternate at left halfback
with All-American candidate
Roger Kochnian.
Caum, another player who has
been hampered' by injuries most
of the year, will test his sprained
knee this afternoon.
He suffered a knee sprain at
Rice and didn't play at all against
Army. Earlier be had been side
lined by a sprained shoulder. '
Ted Malewicz, Bernie Sabol
and Bill Bowes were also' injured
against Army.
Malewicz dislocated his shoul
der on a Lion punt and will be
out of the lineup indefinitely. He
had been battling Bowes for the
second unit left end job.
• Bowes sprained his ankle and
will miss practice for part of this
week, but will probably be ready
to go by Saturday.
Sabol, the fiery number two
left guard for the Nittanies, has
a badly bruised hip, but worked
out yesterday 7 and will be ready
to meet the Orange.
' MEDLAR ALSO noted the pos
sibility that Bob Hart will be
able to resume full-scale work
outs next week.
Hart, a senior guard, .was ex
pected to challenge Joe Blasen
stein and Harrison Rcisdahl for a
starting
out
this fall after
sitting out most of last season
with a knee _injury.
He injured his other knee early

in practice this fall and has yet
to give the knee a full test.
"If he comes along all right
this week," Medlar said yester
day, "then be will probably be
able. to start practicing on it next
week."
Lion coach Rip Engle , shook,up
the practice lineups yesterday as
tackle Gerry Farkas, center Jim
Williams and halfback Frank
Hershey worked out with the
Blues, •State's first unit.
Farkas, a starter in the the
Lions' first two games, replaced
Terry Monaghan at right tackle.
Williams was running ahead of
captain Joe Galardi and Ralph
Baker. The third string center. a
week ago, Williams had an °tit
standing game at Army.
Hershey ; was running from the
right halfback post, the spot Oc
cupied by Junior Powell in 'the
Nittanies' four games to date: '
Engle. had .particular praise for
Williams (190) and Sabol (185).
"If they had 20 more pounds
each .. ." The rest. was just a
shake of the head.
