Yanks One Game Out; National Race Still Hot
By UNITED PRESS
It's all over but the shouting in the American League but there's just one more crises today for the National League's weary contenders.
The New York Yankees need only the formality of one victory in their last 10 games to nail down a record-equaling seventh flag in eight years under Casey Stengel after splitting yesterday's doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians.
Hot National Race
But over in the feverish N. L. race, the Brooklyn Dodgers, Milwaukee Braves and Cincinnati Redlegs go right, back "into the pit" tonight.
The Dodgers opened up a half-game lead with Sal Maglie's spinningling, 3-2 win over Cincinnati yesterday but face the hard-hitting Redlegs again tonight while the Braves tangle with the New York Giants in a twi-night doubleheader created by yesterday's rainout. The Dodgers are in a position where a victory would assure their holding first place for another 24 hours and would just about end the Redlegs' faint hopes. The Braves, of course, must win their doubleheader or suffer another blow in the vital lost column.
Brooks Meet Redlegs
Clem Labine (9-6) starts for the Dodgers for the first time this season while the Redlegs are pinning their hopes on Hal Jeffcoat (6-2); Gene Conley (8-8) and Warren Spahn (17-10) go for the Braves against red-hot Johnny Antonelli (16-13) and Al Worthington (5-13).
Murry Dickson pitched a six-hitter to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 victory but the Pittsburgh Pirates walloped 15 hits for a 9-3 win and the Philadelphia Phillies scored a 4-1 triumph after the Chicago Cubs won their opener 7-4, in the other National League games.
The White Sox escaped mathematical elimination in the A.L. when they beat the Washington Senators, 7-5 and 7-2.
The Detroit Tigers made it 13 wins in 17 games when they beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4 and 8-4. Art Ditmar turned in a four-hitter as the Kansas City Athletics scored a 10-1 triumph after Dick Williams' ninth-inning triple enabled the Baltimore Orioles to win their opponent, 3-2. The win made Ditmar's record 11-21.
I-State Shows Early Power
By UNITED PRESS
Coach Vince Di Francesca of Iowa State protested midly when sports-writers picked the Cyclones to finish last in the Big Seven. He was convinced, said he, that the Cyclones had their best team in years.
Well, he proved his point Saturday night when the Cyclones came from behind in the final three minutes to trip a strong Denver club, 13 to 10, at Denver. The score in that game a year ago at Denver was Denver 17, Iowa State 7. And what's more, Iowa State was a 7 to 10 point underdog this year.
Halfback Chuck Latting scored the wining touchdown.
At Kansas State, second string junior quarterback Gene Keady guided the substitutes to a 20-7 rout of the first and third teams in an intra-squad scrimmage.
Missouri's first team put on a sharp rushing attack to down the subs, 42-0, in a scrimmage that pleased Coach Don Faurot. Kansas' first team defeated the others 28-18 in a scrimmage "satisfactory" to Coach Chuck Mather.
Oklahoma went through a two-hour scrimmage behind locked gates. Junior halfback Clendon Thomas broke through for the biggest gain, a 43-yard slant through tackle.
Ron Beagle, Navy's All-American end, and John Hopkins, Middie tackle, are expected to boister the line of the Quantico Marines this year.
Freshman Sports Managers Sought
Any freshman who is interested in becoming an intramural manager should send a letter of application to Walter J. Mikols, 107 Robinson Gym, by Friday, September 21.
The letter should include a brief personal history pertaining to the applicant's experience in athletics and a summary of why the applicant desires the position.
After the receipt of the letters by the intramural office, the applicants will be notified as to the time and the place of an interview with Mr. Mikols.
The powerful Pittsburgh Gorillas rolled right along for their first win of the season as expected, but the surprise in Kansas small college ranks on opening football day was Emporia State's tie of Omaha.
Pitt, Emporia Win Openers
Pitt turned a pair of intercepted passes into touchdowns in the last half to down Rolla, Mo., Mines, 13-0 with Bill Samuels and Dick Adamson scoring.
Emporia State marched 68 yards in the third period with Lee Beran scoring on a one-yard plunge. The Hornets had the game won until the final two minutes when Omaha, a strong independent, tallied on an 18-yard pass.
Jim Swink of TCU scored 20 touchdowns last year and was held under. 100 net yards rushing in only three of the 10 games he played.
Intramural Bowling Leagues Organized For Season's Play
The active student bowling leagues are beginning to organize for another full season planned to satisfy the regular and the novice bowler alike.
League matches will be played every night except Saturday beginning with the opening of the handicap leagues, Monday, Sept. 24.
Any student may participate in the program. Each year many who have never bowled before learn while playing in one of the leagues. The novice has as much chance as anyone on four nights a week. Handicap leagues are operated Monday through Thursday. This method of equalizing is often to a great advantage to the poorer bowler.
On Friday, Sept. 28 the classic league will get under way. This league is for the better bowlers and is without handicap. One may reach the classic league through outstanding performance in a handicap league.
For Better Bowlers
On Sunday, Sept. 30 a mixed league will open, composed of teams of two men and two women each. The teams in the handicap leagues are made up of four men and the classic league teams number five. Anyone can bowl, anyone can form a team. Entry blanks may be picked up in the office at the bowling alley in the basement of the Student Union. Those who don't organize a team of their own and want to bowl may leave their name with that office. They will be placed on a team by the bowling committee. A
captain for their team will be appointed and the bowler will be notified by the office. This same list of prospective bowlers is available to men organizing teams of their own.
Deadline For Captains
Deadline For Captains
Captains must have their teams entry blank in the bowling office no later than 4 p.m. Wednesday.
This is the same deadline that single bowlers must meet.
At 4 p.m. Wednesday a captains meeting will be held in the Jayhawk room of the Union. League rules and alley courtesy will be discussed at this time. At the meeting the captains must put up a $2 forfeit bond in case their team fails to show up for a league match. Also at this meeting all captains of teams who bowled last year may state whether or not they want the same bowling time and date as last year.
The regular fall season in the handicap leagues ends with a playoff tournament among the top teams, from each league for the Hill championship. Playoffs take place Dec. 16.
Matches Scheduled
For the better bowlers tournaments are held with other schools. Two matches will be played with Kansas State College just as last year and possibly with another Big Seven team.
KU bowlers will again be hosts to a telegraphic tournament with 12 or 13 schools taking part. This was won last year by Colorado University.

Head Coach Chuck Mather was pleased with the passing performance turned in by fourth-string quarterback Glen Swengros who completed eight passes while playing less than half the game. He further indicated, however, that a lot of work will have to be done this week if the Jayhawgers are to be ready for their opening game with TCU at Memorial Stadium Saturday.

A potent running attack by the first and second units and a surprisingly accurate passing attack by the third and fourth teams highlighted the last full-scale intrasquid scrimmage of pre-season drills for the Kansas Jayhawkers Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Reds, composing the two top squads, survived a three-touchdown last period by the Whites to win 28-18.
The Red unit got off to a quick lead by taking the opening kick-off and marching 75 yeards in 10 plays for a touchdown. Quarterback Dave Preston climaxed the drive by sneaking over from the one. His attempt for the extra point failed.

Last TD Long
After End Bill Bell recovered a White fumble, the Reds drove down to the six-yard line only to lose possession on a fumble but two plays later had caught the Whites in their own end zone for a safety and the score was 8-0.
Later in the period, Halfback Charlie McCue intercepted a Bob Marshall pass on the 50-yard line and with the aid of some key blocks raced down the right sideline for the touchdown. A bad pass from center foiled the extra-point try.
One of the top thrills in the game for the crowd of approximately 2,000 came near the end of the contest when a 57 yard pass-run play from McIntosh to Halfback John Traylor produced the last touchdown for the whites.
The Whites scored their first touchdown in the last period on a 10-yard pass play from Terry McIntosh to End Grant Miller. The extra point try failed.
Two of the top defensive plays were turned in by Junior Tackle Frank Gibson in the first half when he blocked a pass and a punt attempt by the Whites on successive plays. He recovered the blocked punt, started to race toward the goal, fumbled, and then recovered his own fumble.
Late in the second period Preston put his Red unit in front, 15-0, by scoring on a 22-yard run around his own left end on an option play. He also added the extra point.
Midway through the third period the Whites were forced to punt after three straight pass attempts failed and this time, a second-string halfback, Bobby Robinson, ran unmolested around right end from 10 yards out for the third Red touchdown. The extra point was added by Bell to make the score 22-0.
Easton Calls For More Trackmen
Head track coach M. E. (Bill) Easton said today he was very pleased with the response to his invitation to all University students interested in track to report either to his office in Allen Field House or to the dressing rooms under Memorial Stadium, and again extends this open invitation -to any late enrolling students.
Along with sprinters and hurdlers, there is a need for prospective fieldmen in the javelin, broad jump, high jump, shot put, discus and pole vault.
Coach Easton's earlier call brought a response from six prospects. "I am eager to add the names of many more capable boys to the track roster for 1956," the veteran KU coach said.
