Sports World Sad At O'Connor's Death
IOWA CITY, Iowa—(UP)—The sports world joined this college community today in mourning the death of Frank (Bucky) O'Connor, warmhearted and personable head basketball coach at the University of Iowa, who was killed yesterday in a car accident.
Ten Conference titles in a relatively short coaching span of seven years, died instantly when his car skidded into the path of a semi-trailer truck near Waterloo and was demolished.

KU Trying For 4-Mile Triple
About the only sweep Kansas didn't score during the Wes Santee era was a triple grand slam in its favoriate relay, the 4-Mile. on the Texas - Kansas - Drake swing.
Going into the 49th Drake games this weekend at Des Moines, the Jayhawkers are just one length removed from such a feat. Earlier they won at Texas in 17:12.4. These completed triples at the first two stations.
One name has been on every entry, Jerry McNeal, now senior statesman of the distance corps. Thrice he has anchored as he is scheduled to do at Drake. Not even Santee ran on more victorious 4-mile clubs. Georgetown kept the Jayhawkers from consecutive victories during 1952-'53-'54 by nicking them at Drake in the middle year. A foot injury to Dale Lubs, well-regarded sophomore, will force Easton to change his regular combine for this late Friday afternoon trail. He'll be replaced by Verlyn Schmidt, dependable Hays senior.
Schmidt spun his best career mile, 4:16.6, two weeks ago, even though failing to score in a dual against Oklahoma State. He likely will handle Lubs' vacated No. 2 spot, behind sophomore Don Greenlee and ahead of junior Tom Skutka.
Greenlee's career low is 4:14.9.
Skutka has hit 4:12; McNeal 4:11.9.
Oddly, these three marks, plus that of Schmidt, all were clocked against Oklahoma State. These figures add to 16:55.4 which would rip 20 seconds off that hallooled Drake record. It is held by a 1952 Kansas combine of Lloyd Kboy, Art Dalzell, Herb Semper and Santee and it broke a long-standing American mark of 17:16.1 which Indiana had held many years. That was the famous race in which Santee telescoped a 40-yard deficit in the final quarter against
Georgetown's Joe LaPierre with the first of his great miles, a 4:06.7.
The Jayhawkers may be obliged to run under the record win. For in addition to those pressing stand-bys from Arkansas and Houston, will be Notre Dame and Illinois
Lubs' absence also will weaken Jayhawker distribution in the 2-mile Saturday. They ran fourth at Texas in 7:48.3, but were down to 7:34.4 behind Michigan State's record-breakers at Kansas. However, Schmidt ran his all-time best half in the Distance Medley last week-end. 1:54.6.
Cliff Cushman also took a second off his best seasonal time, down to 1:54.4 last week, while Bobby Tague again was spinning tremendous efforts in both the sprint medley and 2-mile at 1:48.9 and 1:49.9.
Michigan State won't be at Drake, but Oklahoma, which ran third here, will be, along with Nebraska, Arkansas and Illinois. Kansas also will run in the Sprint Medley Friday and the Distance Medley Saturday.
Podres Again The Toast Of Brooklyn
By UNITED PRESS
It's taken Johnny Podres, once the toast of Brooklyn, just a week to become the Dodgers' No. 1 hero 3,000 miles away in their new Los Angeles home.
The world series hero of 1955 pitched the Dodgers to their first victory of the season, April 16, and Tuesday night was the winning hurler as they downed the Chicago Cubs, 4-2, in the first major league are-lighter ever played in Los Angeles. Podres retired with a sore elbow after $6_{13}$ innings but gained credit for his second straight win.
In the bargain, he also demonstrated that a good pitcher—even a left-hander — can overcome the
hazard of the Coliseum's trick 250-foot left field fence. The Cubs loaded their lineup with six right-handed hitters but Podres pitched no-hit ball for five innings before Ernie Banks hit a 2-run homer in the sixth.
Gino Cimoli, a native of San Francisco, sent the Dodgers off in front with a 2-run homer in the first inning and they added single runs in the second and sixth.
At San Francisco, meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals prevented San Francisco from taking over first place in the National League when they defeated the Giants, 7-5. Del Ennis knocked in three runs, two with a homer, and Stan Musial lashed out three hits to lift his average to .464. Lindy McDaniel got credit for the victory while Johnny
Antonelli was charged with the defeat.
A 3-run homer by Hank Aaron enabled the world champion Milwaukee Braves to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2, in the other National League game.
In the American League, the runaway New York Yankees swept to their sixth straight victory when they defeated the Boston Red Sox, 12-7, the Detroit Tigers dealt the Chicago White Sox their third straight loss, 8-2, and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Washington Senators, 4-2.
Aaron, who hit 44 homers last season, banged his second of this year in the fourth innning after Ron Kline walked Bob Hazle and Ed Mathews singled. Bob Buhl, coming back nicely after his 1957 world series failures, was tapped for 10 hits but gained his second victory.
