Dodgers Take Playoff Prepare for Chisox
LOS ANGELES —(UPI)— There was joy unconfined in Dodger town today.
There also were a few hangovers collected by fans who celebrated the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning the National League pennant yesterday in a playoff series against the Milwaukee Braves.
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the National League pennant yesterday, and they won it the hard way. They whipped the Milwaukee Braves, 6-5, in the 12th inning after wiping out a seemingly hopeless 3-run deficit in the ninth.
Movie stars, executives, the man-
An infield single by Carl Furillo and a throwing error by Felix Mantilla let in the winning run that broke up the tense 4-hour, 6-minute struggle. The Dodgers enter the World Series with the Chicago White Sox Thursday in Chicago's Comiskey park.
With the Dodger triumph, the series schedule now is set definitely. Two games in Chicago Thursday and Friday will be followed by one off day Saturday for travel. They will resume at Los Angeles Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, if necessary. If they have to play the sixth and seventh there will be another one-day travel before they resume at Comiskey park.
Dodgers Win 6-5 In 12 Innings
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — A defensive specialist who last week turned offensive hero may be the lad the Missouri Tigers have been looking for to lead them to their first Big Eight football title in 14 years.
Haas Shines in Tiger Win
Bob Haas, a senior 2-year letterman, considered the Tigers' best defensive back, proved Saturday he can operate just as well on offense.
Haas guided Missouri to a thrilling 20-15 victory over Michigan, relieving heralded Phil Snowden in the final two minutes and directing Missouri's 78-yard touchdown drive. With one minute left, Haas faded to pass on a fourth-and-five situation from his own 49, but then decided to run and got the first down that proved to be the trigger for the touchdown drive.
The 6-foot 1-inch, 185-pounder may have uprooted Snowden as the team's No. 1 quarterback as a result of his play against Michigan.
And it was fitting that the lad who scored the winning touchdown with just two seconds left in the game was Haas.
Missouri opens its Big Eight schedule this week against twice-victorious Iowa State, and Devine was disturbed about the task of stopping the backfield combination of Dwight Nichols and Tom Watkins.
"He may start against Iowa State next week," said Coach Dan Devine. "Of course, we alternate our backs a lot—some of them may start one week, and then a different unit the next. For instance, Mel West, one of our best backs, wasn't a starter against Michigan."
Devine heaped praise on Haas. "Not only did he do a fine job for us on offense, but he may have saved us a couple of touchdowns with his terrific defensive plays. He made several key tackles and pass interceptions to stop Michigan threats."
"Nichols, an all-conference boy, could make anybody's backfield in the country, and Watkins is a good, hard runner," he said. "The fact that we have to stop them, plus overcoming a jinx that has seen us lose three of our last four games at Iowa State, makes it a tough game.
in-the-street and just plain ball fans all sang the praises of the Dodgers.
Walter O'Malley, head of the Dodgers, went to St. Vincent's Catholic Church immediately after the victory.
"There were two persons in the church at that time." O'Malley said. "A church is never empty, you know."
Manager Walter Alston surveyed his players whooping it up in the clubhouse after the game.
"This was a team that never quit," he said quietly, his eyes glistening.
"I guess they were all listening to the game on their car radios and wanted to celebrate," Chamberlain said. "I didn't blow my horn—I had a bet on Milwaukee."
Actor-singer Frank Sinatra said in his cool language, "It was big thrill time."
Tom Chamberlain, 41, of Baldwin Park, Calif., said he was nearly deafened by a sudden, simultaneous tooting of horns at the big clover-leaf of the Los Angeles freeway system when the home team won.
"I thought the end of the world had come when they moved, but now it's like being back on Bedford Avenue again," he said. "What the guys in Canarsie and Gowanus would give to be here now."
Maxie Rosenbloom, 70, who sold his disabled veteran's newsstand at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn to go west with his beloved bums, wept happy tears.
Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson, a leader in the fight to bring the Dodgers to Los Angeles, began the same way he did when he greeted Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the airport recently:

"This is the city of the angels where the impossible does happen." Then he added, "and the Dodgers are the angels."
Later he said he would be unable to see the series games at Chicago.
"I'll be using all my free time to go to the California mountains to find a nice, big tree to hang the world's championship pennant on," he said.
Several thousand fans followed the team to the airport tonight to see their heroes off to Chicago, where they will meet the White Sox in the opening World Series game tomorrow. The large turnout caused a traffic jam and a brief interruption in airline schedules.
Chisox Favored in Series
CHICAGO—(UPI)—The Chicago White Sox are favored at 6-5 to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers tomorrow in the first game of the World Series.

RESEARCH ENGINEERS:
THE MEN BEHIND THE HEADLINES
NAA's On-Campus Interviews OCT.7
EARLY EVERY DAY you read of another advance in science . . . whether it's a space vehicle streaking toward Venus or a submarine gliding beneath the polar ice.
These are the events that make headlines...but even as they are announced to the world, engineers and scientists are planning new and greater achievements and research shows them the way.
Scientific research always has had an important role at North American Aviation. Today, research projects are underway at more than 185 laboratories in the six North American divisions. They encompass the full scope of modern science.
Is air stiffer than steel?
Not all research has the headline appeal of a space ship or nuclear power. For example, research engineers at the Autonetics Division, which designs and manufactures space-age navigation systems, found new and different ways of building rotating bearings...and found that air is stiffer than steel for some purposes. Improved gyroscopes and magnetic recordings were important results of this research.
The Rocketdyne Division has designed and built the bulk of today's operating hardware in the high-thrust rocket field. Explorer I, America's first satellite, was boosted into orbit by a Rocketdyne engine...and three-fourths of the power for Able IV-Atlas—man's first attempt to reach toward another planet—comes from liquid-propellant engines designed and built by Rocketdyne. Researchers at Rocketdyne delve into
A cigarette's place in research
Even the ordinary cigarette has a role in scientific research. Scientists at the Aero-Space Laboratories, an organization within North American's Missile Division, use a burning cigarette in a still room to illustrate the difference between laminar flow and turbulence in the boundary layer, the very thin air space that lies along the outer skin of an aircraft or missile. This research is part of a program to find ways to protect missiles, satellites and space ships from burning when they re-enter the earth's atmosphere.
Toward the conquest of Space
2,000 mph manned weapon systems
the chemistry of propellants, the physics of engine components and what happens within them, ignition of fuels, combustion of fuels, and the transfer of heat.
The Los Angeles Division is the home of next-generation manned weapon systems—the Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie and F-108 Rapier—and America's first manned space vehicle, the X-15. Research engineers in this division investigate manufacturing techniques, conduct studies in aerodynamics, materials and processes, and thermodynamics. They also work with physiologists, biotechnologists, biophysicists, and psychologists to solve design problems concerning human capabilities and limitations that arise from modern weapons and research systems.
Building better Navy aircraft
Analysis of aircraft carrier operation is a major research project at the Columbus Division. This division designed and built the Navy's T2J Buckeye jet trainer and the Navy's supersonic, all-weather A3J Vigilante. Research activities are diverse here—from how to illuminate an aircraft cockpit to developing unmanned vehicles and systems to perform within the earth's atmosphere.
Developing the peaceful atom
The work at the Atomics International Division of North American is part of a large national research effort aimed at the peaceful atom. Success in the development of economical power from the atom depends on thorough knowledge in every phase of atomic power systems and their materials of construction. Atomics International research reactors are in service in Japan, Denmark, West Germany, West Berlin, and Italy.
