IBM run when Red Schoendienst doubled off the wall in left center. Schoendienst's blow, his first hit in his last eight at bat, gave the Card hurler his fourteenth victory against five defeats and clinched the season series for the Birds over the Bruins, 12-5, with five to play. With only seven games to play for each contender, St. Louis could lose a half game today, because they are slated for a single game with the Cubs while Brooklyn plays two in Boston. Dyer announced he would send Howie Pollet, his ace, in search of his twenty first victory against Hank Borowy, the Cub choice.

Catcher Djel Rice dropped the third strike to Bill Nicholson to enable the Cubs to tie the score in the fourth. St. Louis opened up with one run in the second on Whitey Kurowski'a single, an error by Bob Sturgeon and Marty' Marion's double. Marion, showing no traces of the back ailment that kept him idle in Boston, handled 10 chances flawlessly, figuring in two double plays that kept Dickson out of serious Cubs Force Rally in Nhth.

BOSTON, MASS. (JP) With Pee, Wee Reese hitting a pair of three-baggers the Brooklyn Dodgers continued a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals by beating the Boston Braves Saturday, 6-2. It was the fifteenth decision the Bums have gained over their "cousins" in 18 starts and a big fourth inning against starter Lefty Warren Spahn settled matters. Spahn, with effective control over his sneaky fast ball, sailed along smoothly until Dixie Walker banged him for a second Brook-, lyn hit with one out in the fourth frame.

After Carl Furillo slashed another bounder into right field, Reese drove -in both runners with a triple. He romped home when Bruce Edwards hit into left field. After Howie Schultz doubled in the Dodger catcher. Manager Billy Southworth yanked Spahn for another southpaw, Dick Mulligan, obtained on waivers this week from the Phillies. Joe Hatten, the Iowan, squeezed in Schultz to give the Dodgers an apparently safe 5-0 lead.

Dr die Anderson of Iowa, I si-pect, played a bit of sideliie poker wth visiting footall scouts here Saturday as "his Hawks dumped a garne but out-manned North Dakota State team, 39-0, wittout much of a suggestion to what tactics Iowa will ue in later games.

Don't interpret that asn indication that the battlinr Bison were pushovers. North Dakota State, until its steam gav out in the closing stages, gve the Hawks a few things a think about. Simple Running P'tys- Even so, Iowa met te assignment and in so doing fjled to tip its hand to future oppents. It used only a handful 3f simple running plays and pass throughout the duel.

(Staff Writ sr.) BOULDER, COLO. Iowa State went prospecting for football gold at the foot of the Rockies Saturday, and found only bitter defeat. Tha score was 13-7, and the winner the University of Colorado, just as the dopestera prophesied.

It was early season football, with two big lines dominating th scene in this natural bowl in which 17,500 fans sat in shirtsleeves to see the season opened in the Rocky mountain area-Colorado scored first In the opening period. Iowa State tied it up before the rest period arrived, and the Big Seven team rammed home the clincher early in the last quarter. It was Sophomore Johnny Zisch, the big left end with the un-euphonious name, who broke Iowa Estate hearts. He it was who hauled in a pass from Maurice (Tex) Reilly early in the game to set up the opening touchdown on the one-foot line. He it was who duplicated the play twice in the third period, with Don Evans doing the pitching.

These catches, sandwiched around Evans 37-yard end sweep, brought the ball to the two. Reilly himself punched over Colorado touchdown No. 1. Fullback Roland Gregory did the honors on No. 2 with nine and a half-minutes of the game remaining.

The hard charging Iowa State line, which more than held its own with the 211-pound home team forwards through most of the game, set the stage for the Big Sixers single successful touchdown thrust.

Fifteenj thousand, the largest opening game crowd in Indiana history, saw Coach Ray Nolting's boj's score two touchdowns by the aerial route and then add a place kick for good measure.

Texas Aggies Whip North Texas, 47-0 COLLEGK STATION. TEX. The Texas Aggies had things their own way and easily defeated North Texas State, 47-0, in theif initial grid game of the season here Saturday. The Aggie lineup was in constant change, with Coach Homer Norton giving practically every player on his team a few minutes of play. dy) Young an estimated.

35,000 persons saw an upset, but in the end the Big Nine team prevailed and won by the one-sided score of 33-7. The Ulini, thanks to Young, scored a touchdown in slightly less than two minutes of play. But for the remainder of that period and all of the next, the youngsters from Pitt made the visitors' beefy and suety line, which averaged 205 pounds, 13 more than its opponents, look like under-sized high school forwards. The home team scored its lone touchdown and kicked the extra point late in the first quarter to tie the score. Then it kept the Ulini team backed up against its own goal line the remainder of the half, partly because the invaders made many errors in the way of fumbles and in throwing passes into alert opponents' hands, but largely because the Panther line was the better, for the time being at least.
