New York Seeks Repeat of 1927 Win
PITTSBURGH — (UPI) — The New York Yankees checked into Forbes Field today, hoping to tear a page out of the past and accomplish the same thing they did 33 years ago.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, however, had other ideas.
Flushed by the fastest finish in their history, the Yankees, who won the last 15 games of their regular American League competition, were
Kansas Slips To 13th on Poll
Saturday's victory for Syracuse over Kansas tightened their hold on the top spot in the national United Press International football rankings.
The Orangemen from New York edged last week's fifth-ranking Kansas Jayhawks, 14-7, to help widen the gap between them and second place Mississippi.
The Jayhawks dropped to 13th.
Missouri, the only Big Eight team in the top ten, moved into eighth place after their victory Saturday over Penn. State.
Iowa vaulted from eighth to third place. Navy's 15-14 victory over former third place Washington earned them the sixth spot. Purdue jumped 17 notches on the strength of its 51-19 triumph over Notre Dame.
Northwestern, sixth last week,
didn't collect a single vote this week.
Georgia Tech, previously ranked
ninth, had only one point.

scheduled to take their first workout at Forbes Field in preparation for tomorrow's World Series opener.
The Yankees, who swept the series in four straight games the last time the two teams met in a World Series back in 1927, named 15-game winner Art Ditmar to start the opener against Pittsburgh's 20-game ace, Vern Law.
Casey Stengel's choice of Ditmar, a 31-year-old right-hander from Springfield, Mass., was something of a surprise inasmuch as the Yankee manager had expressed an inclination to go with his "blue chip" southpaw, Whitey Ford, as late on Monday.
Stengel, explaining the switch from Ford to Ditmar, said, "I figured I'd better pick Ditmar because at some times this year he has won the first game of an important series for us."
Ford thus will undoubtedly start the third game when the series shifts to New York where the inviting right field fence works far less a hardship on a left-handed pitcher than a right-hander.
Odds-makers quoted the first game at even money although the Yankees rated 13 to 10 favorites for the series, chiefly because of their superior power.
Danny Murtaugh, the stocky, little Pittsburgh manager who is appearing in his first World Series, didn't even wait for Stengel to announce his opening game lineup before making his public.
"I'm going to go with my left-handed lineup," said the Pirates' skipper, who already has announced that Bob Friend will pitch the second game.

Injury to Fullmer Postpones Fight
LOS ANGELES—(UPI)—Middleweight champion Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, hobbling on a sore and stiff right leg. today expressed his regrets that he would be unable to defend his title Saturday night against Sugar Ray Robinson.
The fight had been scheduled to inaugurate the fall season of Saturday night television bouts.
A substitute bout will be held In the Olympic Auditorium instead of the plush Sports Arena where the Fullmer-Robinson fight had been expected to draw a gate of $150,000.
Just as the Fullmer-Robinson fight was beginning to catch on with boxing fans, it was postponed yesterday until Dec. 3 because the champion suffered a painful leg injury in training.
Fullmer suffered his injury — a badly pulled plantaris tendon in his right leg — during a sparring session Saturday afternoon.
