Maglie Pitches No-Hit Game
By UNITED PRESS
It's up to Don Newcombe and the embattled Dodgers to see today that Sal Maglie didn't pitch one of baseball's all-time masterpieces in vain.
Given a reprieve by the 39-year old Maglie's 5-0, no-hit triumph, the Dodgers send Newcombe against Robin Roberts and the Philadelphia Phillies in an effort to sweep the two-game series and go back into a tie for the National League lead with the idle Milwaukee Braves. A loss would drop the Dodgers a full game behind the Braves with three games left for each.
Maglie pitched the most spectacular "clutch game" the majors has seen in 48 years. Not since Cleveland's Addie Joss pitched a perfect game against the White Sox in the decisive game of the 1908 American League pennant race has a pitcher turned in a no-hitter with so much riding on every delivery.
Good Clutch Job
The amazing Maglie achieved his fmest hour. He walked only two batters and hit another in setting down the Phillies with a total of 110 pitches. It was his 12th victory since joining the Dodgers from the Indians on May 16.
Warren Spahn's 7-1 win over Cincinnati enabled the 35-year old Milwaukee southpaw to reach the 20-victory mark for the seventh time in his career—a feat which previously was attained by only Grover Cleveland Alexander, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Eddie Plank, Lefty Grove and Bob Lemon. Spahn yielded only six hits and one walk in chalking up the 203 win of his career.
Johnny Antonelli won his 19th game as the New York Giants routed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-0, and Don Kaiser pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 6-2 decision after the St. Louis Cardinals turned in a triple play en route to a 5-1 win behind Lindy McDaniel in other N.L. activity.
In the American League, the champion New York Yankees downed the Baltimore Orioles, 11-6. Mickey Mantle appeared only as a pinch-hitter again and kept his average at .355—six points ahead of Boston's Ted Williams.
Wvnn Gets 20th
Early Wynn gained his 20th victory when Rocky Colavito's three-run 10th-inning homer gave the Cleveland Indians a 4-1 triumph over the Kansas City Athletics and Bill Hoef notched No. 19 with the help of homers by Earl Torgesen and Charley Maxwell as the Detroit Tigers scored a 5-3 decision over the Chicago White Sox.
Williams knocked in four runs with his 24th homer and a basefilled walk to lead the Red Sox to a 10-4 win over the Washington Senators in the other game.
In the composite all-time standing, Kansas finished sixth in the Missouri Valley, fourth in the Big Six and fifth in the Big Seven.
Swimming Hopefuls Asked To Report

IM Football
Sigma Phil Epsilon opened the fall intramural football season Tuesday by whipping Phi Kappa Tau 33-0, in a fraternity A game. The passing arm of Brent Kington was the deciding-factor as he passed for five touchdowns and figured in all three extra points.
Kington fired to Ted Winkler for three of the touchdowns, once to Bob Kerr; and once to Jack Beverly. Winkler recovered a fumble in the end zone for the final tally. Kington kicked two extra points and passed to Kerr for the other.
Other results:
Fraternity A
Lambda Chi 7, Phi Psi 6; Phi Gam 20.
AKL 0.
Fraternity B

(Editor's Note: The reason there is only one story is because the other teams failed to fill out complete result forms. For future games, the games should be written up on the back of the score cards, complete with full names, how touchdowns were scored, and in what quarter the scoring took place.)
Texas Christian University's football team has 26 lettermen returning this year from a Southwest Conference championship team of last year.
KU's gridiron foe this Saturday is College of Pacific, rated as the West Coast's number one independent team this year.
Last Saturday, College of Pacific opened its 1956 football season with a 39-14 victory over Colorado A&M at Stockton.
Up to 1956 Texas Christian leads in its 13-year-old series with Kansas by a 9-2 margin. There were two ties.

Four changes were made in the first two lines of the Jayhawker football team Tuesday after Coach Chuck Mather and his aides studied movies of Saturday's 32-0 defeat to Texas Christian University.
Bell Promoted To First Team, Strauch In Pads
Jim Letcavits, a letterman at right end and regular starter last fall, was moved back to the second unit to make room for Bill Bell, veteran flanker who showed up well against the Horned Frogs. H.C. Palmer, sophomore end and a standout on defense Saturday was promoted to second string left end in place of Bruce Brener.
Heavy drills on pass defense and a spirited scrimmage against College of Pacific's offensive and defensive plays, were stressed in the session. KU plays COP Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
Wally Strauch, injured quarterback who missed Saturday's game, was in pads, but avoided contact. It is hoped that Strauch will be able to see at least limited service against the Tigers.
A pair of transfers, playing their first season for Kansas, were promoted to the second string tackle posts. Ron Claiborne and Ed Prelock, both huge, tough linemen, uprooted Tom Russell and John Drake.
Lynn McCarthy, veteran end who was injured in a stabbing incident this past summer, was in warmups and did some running. McCarthy said he hopes to see some contact this week.

FLOYD
Wednesday, Sept. 26, 1956 University Daily Kansan
Leading a greatly improved KU ground offensive this season is a 163-pound sophomore who, although the Jayhawkers lost their opener to TCU last week, became the Bib Seven's leading ground gainer with 96 yards in 15 carries.
Mather considers Floyd a rugged player for his size and believes he will rate as one of the top backs in the conference, barring injuries. Floyd is wearing a cast on his right hand due to a dislocated little finger which was reinjured in Saturday's game.
The former Massillon ace, was a candidate for the all-state fullback slot his junior year, and then was named to the Ohio all-star team in 1954, his senior year.
Homer Floyd, leading rusher and scorer on last year's freshman team, hails from Massillon, Ohio. He's married and is the father of a 13-month-old son.
