It's been a year of upsets in the sports world.
By Jack Harrison
Floyd Patterson lost his world heavyweight boxing crown to Ingemar Johannsen. The Swede had boasted of his powerful right hand punch. He followed his words with action.
KU won its first national NCAA track title, after several "almost" years. This actually was not an upset, but the Jayhawker victory fits into the year's pattern of triumphs after perseverance.
Cincinnati and the "Big O" toppled Kansas State in the NCAA regional basketball tourney in March to join the roster of 1959's triumphant underdogs.
The New York Yankees not only were knocked from their perch as world baseball champions, but suffered the humiliation of dropping to last place in the American League for a time in mid-season.
Senor Al Lopez led the small, sly and speedy Chicago White Sox to the American League pennant after 40 years of frustration.
Then the California Bears countered with an upset victory over Oscar Robertson and his mates and went on to take the national cage title.
The mighty football power of the Midlands, Oklahoma, opened its season by absorbing a 45-13 whipping, the worst defeat for an OU team in 14 years.
Another upset is in the making. That is, the bookies will consider it an upset, although a few of us have different ideas.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to win the World Series. The White Sox will join the Milwaukee Braves and other vanquished favorites on the sidelines.
See your local bookmaker. Inves now. Don't wait until next year.

The Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers reached 40 years into the past for the talents they put on display today in the World Series.
Sign the sheet on the door of the club office before Saturday if you can go.
Members of KU's freshman football team have proven two things to onlookers this week—they learn fast, and they aren't afraid of body contact.
Both teams are long on pitching—and short on power. It's the same kind of baseball, a size-up of the teams reveals, as the old Chicago "Black Sox" and the Cincinnati Reds performed in the scandal-ridden series of 1919—the last time it was held in Comiskev Park.
The frosh matched blows with the red-shirted reserve-transfer team Monday, and came out of the scrimmage a battle-touched unit.
KU Yearlings Learning Fast
Chisox-Dodgers Reach Into Past
And that's the kind of baseball these two figured to play in this series. Because both squads combined can boast of a grand total of only three .300 hitters and the best of the lot, Duke Snider, exceeded that mark by a mere eight points.
Yesterday Coach Don Fambrough's yearlings concentrated on passing and punting in preparation for the Oct. 16 encounter with K-State's frosh.

Nellie Fox, Chicago's "iron man" second baseman who follows the speedy Luis Aparicio to the plate, is next with .306, and the Dodgers have the third best in Wally Moon. Moon, having his best year in the majors, is hitting .302.
Baseball in that era, and in that year the "Black Sox" captured their last pennant and "threw" the series for gamblers, put the accent on finesse.
The opening game of the series got underway at 1 o'clock (Lawrence time) this afternoon in Chicago.
NEW YORK — (UPI)— An argument between two long-time friends over the recent Dodger-Braves baseball playoff series ended with a fatal stabbing last night.
Baseball Argument Ends With Stabbing
Police said the argument broke out between William R. Prinz, 48, and Dennis McSweeny, 39, in Prinz's apartment, where McSweeny lived with Prinz and his wife.

Easton Is Sure Jays Will Win
Coach Bill Easton's defending champions will open their cross-country season against Missouri here Oct. 10 on the University's 3 mile course.
Coach Easton said yesterday that he was almost certain Kansas would win.
"But we'll have to work harder than we did last year to do it," he said.
"Missouri will have seven men back from last year's team. Jim Sanders was the only one who graduated," Coach Easton said.
Last year Billy Mills led the Jayhawkers to a 15-41 win over Missouri at Columbia. Mills ran the course in 15:23.0 minutes to out pace the closest Missouri runner by a full minute. Kansas took the first six places.
Returning for the Tigers will be Bob Hanneken, Cecil Long, John Graham, Jerry White and John Woolson.
Coach Easton said one of the reasons that Kansas defeated Missouri last year was because the term started earlier and his team had more time to practice.
"This year we will run our first three mile time trial Saturday."
Mailen Leads Big 8 Punters
By United Press International
Iowa State, the only undefeated Bie Eight conference team, is leading the conference in total offense.
The Cyclones, winners of two straight games, have a total offensive figure of 716 yards, 563 of that coming on the ground. Missouri is second with 531 yards, including 314 on the ground. The Tigers meet Iowa State Saturday.
Two Iowa Staters, Tom Watkins and Dwight Nichols, lead the rushers. Watkins has 255 yards on 39 carries and Nichols has run 46 times for 190 yards.
Norm Mailen of Kansas leads punters, averaging 56 yards on three kicks. Fred Brossart of Missouri is the No. 1 punt returner, taking two back for an average of 13.5 yards. John Hadl, Kansas, and Clay White, Nebraska, are tied for scoring
Colorado's Gale Weidner stayed in front of the passers with 23 of 44 attempts for 259 yards. Oklahoma State's Dick Soerglad is second with 18 completions in 31 attempts for 199 vards.
Chuck McBride of Colorado leads pass receivers with eight catches for 102 yards.
