Yanks, Indians In Tight Race
By UNITED PRESS
All of a sudden it's a brand new American League pennant race—from the stand-point of the Yankees, anyway.
To hear the jubilant Yankees whoop and holler today someone might get the idea they had just clinched the flag, but what they actually did was climb to within one game of the pace-setting Indians and draw even with them in the all-important "lost column."
The seventh-place Senators scored a 3-2 victory over Cleveland last night. Washington's triumph, coupled with a 6-4 victory by the Yankees over the Tigers, sheed a full game off the Indians' league lead and put an entirely new complexion on the pennant race.
The White Sox, whose pennant chances grow dimmer every day, split a doubleheader with the Orioles, dropping the opener, 8-2 and winning the nightcap. 6-0. The split left Chicago four games off the pace.
Big Gus Zernial drove in six runs with his 27th and 28th homers to lead Kansas City to a 7-3 victory over the Red Sox, who remained seven games back. Art Ditmar registered his 11th victory with an eight-hitter.
While everybody is watching the tightening American League race, hardly anyone is noticing that the Dodgers are taking their daily lumps in the already settled National League race.
The new N.L. champions suffered their fourth straight loss when the seventh-place Cardinals beat Carl Erskine. 3-0, last night.
Del Crandall and George Crowe each connected for two-run homers as veteran Warren Spahn of the Braves defeated the Giants, 9-2. Willie Mays slammed his 44th and 45th homers of the season, tying Ted Kluszewski for the Major League leadership.
Call Out For New Track Candidates
Any freshmen or transfer students who wish to try out for the KU cross country or track teams are requested to report to the track office, room 10 Allen Field House any day between the hours of 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or to the east locker room at Memorial Stadium after 3 p.m.
Both the KU track squad and the cross country squad may win the Big Seven this year and both should be among the tops in the nation. The varsity squad is coached by Bill Easton and the freshmen squad this year will be handled by Jack Warner.

Frosh Football Squad Starts Sessions Today
A freshman football squad totaling 64 in all, 40 of whom are out of state, was scheduled to commence workouts today under Coach Wayne Replogle. In addition to numbers, the fresh squad can boast good size, having 15 men who tip the scales over 200 pounds.
The freshman team will work out with the varsity most of the time and will have three scheduled games. Two games will be with Big Seven freshman squads from Missouri and Kansas State and an added feature will be a game with the new Air Force Academy team. Dates for these games will be set later.

Jayhawks Must Face Rebuilt TCU Air Attack
By JOHN McMILLION Kansan Sports Editor
When Chuck Mather's Jayhawks meet TCU's Horned Frogs Saturday night in Fort Worth they can expect to see an offense quite a bit different from that displayed by the Frogs last year.
Coach Abe Martin's squad didn't score a touchdown last year via the passing route and for that matter the Frogs have had to run all their scores over the past three years.
Fall practice at Fort Worth, however, indicates strongly that the TCU squad will revert to an aerial attack reminiscent of the Slinging Sammy Baugh era. In last Saturday's intrasquad game Frog quarterback Chuck Curtis fired four touchdown passes as the first squad beat the scrubs 27-13.
Curtis has continued to look good all fall and his passing coupled with the always dangerous running of halfbacks Ray Taylor and Jimmy Swink gives the TCU team a well-balanced offense.
TCU suffered several injuries in Saturday's scrimmage but at last report all these men should be ready for action against KU. Both
the first and second string half-backs, Taylor and Ken Wineburg, suffered slight injuries.
Other injuries suffered by the Frogs were to starting left tackle Norman Hamilton, end and captain Bryan Engram, and reserve guard Jerry Salley.
Kansas lost no one in Saturday's 21-20 victory by the second team but several men were shaken up. Left halfback John Francisco had two teeth loosened and second string center Galen Wahleimeier was out on his feet for a time.
In the line the Horned Frogs have what may well be one of the best in the Southwest Conference. The entire first and second string lines can be made up of established lettermen and in Hught Picks, 6 foot 2 inch 212 pound center, the Frogs have one of the best in the nation. Pitts has already been placed on all the pre-season all-conference teams and on many pre-season All-America picks.
Other top TCU linemen are O'Day Williams, junior end; Captain Bryan Engram, end; juniors Norman Hamilton and Don Cooper at tackles, and Joe Williams and Vernon Uecker, both juniors, at guards.
