YESTERDAY'S BIG STORY
September 1938 - the Eastern seaboard is lashed by a tropical hurricane. For two days the Coast, from New Jersey to New England felt its full fury. New York was whipped by 70-mile-an-hour winds and the raging sea poured millions of tons of water far inland. Three hundred million dollars was a conservative estimate of the damage. Six hundred people died in the storm.

The most famous town in South Dakota is Aberdeen. It has a population of 25,000. The Fischer quintuplets are doing fine as they pass the critical 72-hour period. Now they are being fed a teaspoonful of milk every two hours oblivious, naturally, to all the commotion they have caused throughout the world. The chances are 1 in 54,000,000 that a birth will be five-fold and Mr. and Mrs. Fischer are still dazed from the event, it appears. Gifts have poured in and with a new house and magazine contract the future of the Fischer family seems assured.

END OF AN ERA:
The Polo Grounds, playing-field of hallowed memory, is about to give way to a housing development. Thus will end one of the most famous chapters in baseball history. The Mets play their last game here (yes, they lost to the Phillies 5 to 1) before moving to a spanking new stadium next year, now, except for a few football games this Fall crowds will no longer pour into the Polo Grounds. Casey Stengel, with his wife waves farewell to the Stadium. Only thing in baseball that
goes on forever is Old Marse Casey himself!

Illinois 10
Northwestern 9
Michigan invades the Champaign home grounds of Illinois for a clash that's a cliff-hanger all the way. Northwestern goes out in front with a pass play and then misses the conversion attempt - and, that proves the BIG, BIG point of the day. Illinois gets a touchdown and the extra point and both teams make field goals. But that one kick meant the difference.
Final score: Illinois 10… NORTHWESTERN...9
BASEBALL
THE DODGERS!
The Dodgers take the Yankees in four straight games and while there may be no joy in New York – there’s bedlam in Los Angeles. In the third game Junior Gilliam is brought home by Tommy Davis for the only score of the game and Don Drysdale goes on to silence the mighty Yankee bats. In the final game Frank Howard homers to put the Dodgers ahead and Mickey Mantle comes back to tie it up with another four-bagger. Then, Gilliam reaches third on an error and is brought home with a sacrifice fly to center by Willy Davis. Then Sandy Koufax, hero of the first game, makes matchsticks out of the mighty Yankee bats. All Hail The Delirious Dodgers!
