Charles Coughlin. Canadian-born U.S. clergyman and broadcaster. Father Coughlin, a native of Hamilton, Ontario, was the priest at the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan from 1926-1966, but was best known for his radio broadcasts, which began in 1926 on the Detroit station WJR, and were picked up by the Columbia Broadcasting System in 1930. Fr. Coughlin began injecting political content into his broadcasts, and initially supported U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but from 1934 on, increasingly opposed the Roosevelt administration's New Deal economic policies. Fr. Coughlin helped to found the Union Party, but its 1936 U.S. presidential candidate, William Lemke, failed to attract much support. Fr. Coughlin's broadcasts became more anti-Jewish and pro-Fascist, and the Roosevelt administration imposed regulations that had the effect of forcing Fr. Coughlin off the air in 1940. Fr. Coughlin published the weekly newsletter Social Justice from 1936-1942, but ceased its publication on orders of Roman Catholic authorities, under pressure from the Roosevelt administration. Fr. Coughlin ended his public career, and continued as priest of the Shrine of the Little Flower, retreating into obscurity. He died on October 27, 1979, two days after his 88th birthday.

Franz von Werra, 27. Swiss-born German military aviator. Hauptmann (Captain) Werra was raised by relatives in Germany, and joined the Luftwaffe in 1938. He became an air ace in World War II, scoring four combat victories in France in May 1940, and nine in Britain in August. Hauptmann Werra was shot down in England and captured in September 1940; he made several attempts to escape from prisoner of war camps, but was always recaptured and finally sent to Canada in January 1941. Hauptmann Werra was in a group of prisoners who were to be taken to a camp on the north shore of Lake Superior in Ontario. On January 21, 1941, he escaped from a prison train after its departure from Montreal, crossed the frozen St. Lawrence River near Smiths Falls, Ontario, and turned himself over to police in Ogdensburg, New York, at a time when the United States was still a neutral country. While the U.S.A. and Canada were discussing his extradition, Hauptmann Werra was aided by the German vice consul to cross the border into Mexico, and passed through Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona, and Rome before arriving in Germany on April 18, being greeted as a hero, reportedly the only German prisoner of war to escape Canadian custody and return to Germany. He returned to service in the Luftwaffe, and was deployed to the Russian front, scoring 13 more victories before being killed on a practice flight when his plane suffered engine failure and crashed into the sea north of the Dutch city of Vlissingen. Hauptmann Werra's story was made into the movie The One that Got Away (1957), starring Hardy Krüger.

John Hufnagel passed for 420 yards and the Blue Bombers amassed 551 yards in total offense before 32,946 fans at Winnipeg Stadium to end the Eskimos' 7-game winning streak. The Eskimos had won the first game between the teams 33-5 at Commonwealth Stadium on August 15, and the Blue Bombers wanted to make up the deficit, since points for and against each other would be used to decide which team finished ahead in the standings in case they should finish the season with the same record. Winnipeg very nearly accomplished what had appeared nearly impossible, but were stopped late in the game on the Eskimos' 3-yard line. Had the Blue Bombers scored a converted touchdown and not permitted any further Edmonton scoring, they would have won the total points battle.

Boston Red Sox 5 @ New York Mets 6 (10 innings) (Best-of-seven series tied 3-3)

The Red Sox broke a 3-3 tie with 2 runs in the top of the 10th inning, and Boston relief pitcher Calvin Schiraldi retired the first 2 batters in the bottom of the 10th, and had 2 strikes on Gary Carter. However, Mr. Carter singled, and advanced to second base on a single by pinch hitter Kevin Mitchell. Ray Knight, the next batter, singled on a no balls-2 strikes count to drive in Mr. Carter and advance Mr. Mitchell to third base. Bob Stanley then came on to pitch for the Red Sox and threw a wild pitch that allowed Mr. Mitchell to score the tying run, with Mr. Knight advancing to second. The next batter, Mookie Wilson, worked Mr. Stanley for 10 pitches before hitting a slow ground ball to Boston first baseman Bill Buckner. The ball went between Mr. Buckner's legs, and the error allowed Mr. Knight to score the winning run before 55,078 fans at Yankee Stadium. Rick Aguilera (1-0) was the winning pitcher, while Mr. Schiraldi (0-1) was charged with the loss.

The Ontario Rugby Football Union ruled that the September 28 game in Toronto between Toronto Balmy Beach and Rochester Rockets, which had resulted in a 21-8 win for Balmy Beach, would be stricken from the record. The ORFU had dropped the financially-troubled expansion Rockets from the league on October 15. At the time, the Rockets had a record of 0-5 and their two most recent games had been cancelled. The Rockets had lost twice to Balmy Beach and once each to the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen, Sarnia Golden Bears, and London Lords. By striking the September 28 game from the record, each of the four remaining teams would have each played one game against Rochester. The move resulted in changing Toronto's record from 7-3 after October 20 games to 6-3, and Rochester's final record was recorded as 0-4. I don't know if individual statistics from the September 28 game were also stricken from the record.
