Pesky Pirates Stop Dodgers; Braves Lead
By UNITED PRESS
Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney, although "tickled to death" to be back in first place again, insisted today the only way his Braves can cop the pennant is by "winning all our games and paying no attention to Brooklyn."
The Dodgers took over the National League lead briefly last night—for two hours and 45 minutes to be exact—when they defeated the Firates 8-3 in the resumption of Sunday's suspended contest, but then dropped a half game behind the idle Braves by bowing to Pittsburgh, 6-5, in the regularly scheduled game.
As matters now stand Milwaukee has four games remaining and Brooklyn five, and since both clubs are even in the all-important "lost column," a playoff would become necessary if the Braves and Dodgers win all their remaining games. Cincinnati still nursing a mathematical chance, is a game and a half off the pace with three games remaining.
Haney has nominated Warren Spawn (19-10) to face the Redlegs today and the veteran left-hander will be opposed by Larry Jansen (2-2). For the Dodgers, who are back home in Brooklyn, Sal Maglie (11-5) will go against Jack Meyer (7-10) of the Phillies in a night game.
Baltimore beat the Yankees, 5-4, on Tito Francona's two-run double in the eighth inning as Johnny Kucks again failed to notch his 19th triumph. Bill Skowron hit a pair of homers for the Yanks.
In the only other game scheduled, the White Sox blasted out 22 hits to defeat the Tigers, 14-11. Seven homers were hit in the contest with Sherm Lollar and Ray Boone hitting two apiece and Larry Doby, Charlie Maxwell and Red Wilson one each.
Dick Bass, College of Pacific's great sophomore halfback, has an ambition to be a radio disc jockey. He has his own Rock 'n' Roll show on KSTN in Stockton, Calif.
Floyd Is League Ground Leader
KANSAS CITY, Mo., — (UP) — With Oklahoma's Tommy McDonald and Clendon Thomas still to enter the race, a group of new names took over in the first official listing of Big Seven football stars.
KU's Homer Floyd earned the rushing lead in the opening intersectional games, and Dick Hyson of Colorado the passing lead.
Floyd carried 15 times for 96 yards in Saturday's game with Texas Christian. Hyson completed one of six passes against Oregon for 36 yards.
Bob Harden, an Iowa State sophomore, was the top pass receiver catching two for 42 yards in the game against Denver a week ago. Punting honors went to John Holdefer of Iowa State and Dave Preston of Kansas, each with one kick of 53 yards.
Bill Hawkins, a Nebraska junior, led scoring with two touchdowns. Nebraska also set the offensive pattern with a run-pass total of 401 yards in a 34-6 win over South Dakota State. Missouri follows with 293 and Iowa State with 279.
The other top rushers are Hawkins with 94 yards on six carries, Jimmy Hunter of Missouri with 17 for 75 yards and Larry Naviaux of Nebraska with three for 67. Hunter also hit three of 11 passes for 29 yards.
Ted Rohde of Kansas, last year's punting leader, was 11th on the current list, kicking five for 49 yards and a 29.8 average.
Jayhawks Work On Defense For COP Tilt
Chuck Mather's Jayhawks, still stunned by the 32-0 trumping from Texas Christian University, faced a week of hard practice before taking on the College of Pacific Saturday.
The first two units worked without pads yesterday, running through offensive and defensive plays. The varsity reserves scrimmaged with the freshman squad.
Coach Mather said the week's work will consist of heavy pass defense drills and establishment of a defense against the fancy running of the College of Pacific ace, Dick Bass.
MU Works On Control
COLUMBIA, Mo.,—(UP) — Mis-the importance of the five fumbles souri Coach Don Faurot, stressing lost in the loss to Oregon State, returned his squad to ball-handling fundamentals in yesterday's practice.
Also emphasized in the light workout was defensive strategy on Purdue's T- formation, which boasts one of the nation's best passing combinations in quarterback Lenny Dawson and end Lamar Lunday.
Halfback Sonny Stringer, who suffered a wrenched knee Saturday, worked out without pads. He was expected to see action against the Boilermakers.
MANHATTAN, Kan.,—(UP) — Dummy defense drills against Colorado formations occupied the Kansas State football squad yesterday as coach Bus Mertes' charges limbered up from Saturday's bruising loss to Oklahoma A & M.

Coach Jack "Moose" Myers of COP feels he has good overall talent this year but admits that lack of experience could easily make the first few games on the schedule rough.
The College of Pacific's nickname is the Tigers and the school colors are orange and black.
