NOTRE DAME fans of long memories are not making Coach Terry Brennan's waking moments any more comfortable with reference to his debut against Texas, Saturday It is recalled that the last time Notre Dame lost an opening game, Texas was the opponent. The score was 7-6. It is also recalled that another Notre Dame coach (Elmer Layden) was making his debut that day.

WESTERN WRONGED? Dean A. Linton, editor of the 'Indian," Carthage College newspaper, recently took a blast at Western State College and its athletic department "Those of us here at Carthage have long admired your athletic department and especially, your very fine stadium. We hope that some day we will be able to admire a library on your campus. We often wonder why students enter Western to see fine athletic records set or get an education. It would probably be embarrassing for your right honorable Dr.

Beu) to compare the IQ's of the members of your football team against ours." Linton eVen claims that Western pays salaries to her athletes Western graduates like myself are deeply shocked and embarrassed at this insinuation as we all are quite aware of what Dr. Beu stands for. the ball. Gus Bell dashed from i second to third and Borkowski Four teams still have a monetary I heflded for fjrsl jn fl since if the catcher drops a third strike he usually has to throw out the interest in their final major league standings. It's based on the approximate $750 share per player of the World Series money for members of the fourth-place teams in each league.

Fourth place involves quite a battle in both leagues. In the National only a game separates Cincinnati, now in fourth from the fifth-place Philadelphia Phillies. Boston leads Detroit by a game and a half in tho American League. The Redlegs have just two games left and the Phillies have six to play. Cincinnati still is screaming about a 3-1 loss in Milwaukee Wednesday when a ninth inning rally was brought to an abrupt end by a freak double play.

With runners on first and second and one out, pinch-hitter Bob Borkowski struck out on a wild pitch. While catcher Del Crandall chased batter at first.

Nov. 6, State (Urbana). Two Hooks, One Bass WEBSTER, Mass. (UP)-An uhdiscriminating large mouth bass is the subject of a fish story passed around by a pair of Worcester anglers. Morris Goldstein and Alvin Edison said they were fishing with live crawfish from the same boat in Webster Lake when they felt simultaneous tugs on their lines.

Sadly they reeled in thinking the lines entangled with each other. However, the connection turned out to be a four-pound bass that had swallowed both hooks. They split the fish. Picks Giants NEW YORK (UP) Charley Dressen, who failed to win two World Series as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, today picked his one-time arch rivals, the New York Giants, to win the series this year. "It's going to take great pitching to beat Cleveland," observed Dressen.

"But I think in Sal Maglie, Johnny Antonelli and Ruben" Gomez the Giants have three great pitchers who can do it."

His throw hit Borkowski in the back and rolled into right field and Bell scored from third. Then the umpires took over. After an 18-minute conference they ruled Borkowski wns out automatically on his strikeout since first base had been occupied.

Then they ruled Borkowski had interfered with the attempt to catch Bell because he drew a throw to first. The rules say in this case the other runner, Bell, is out. The two outs ended the game and the Reds filed a formal protest. There was no room for protests at Philadelphia where the Phils walloped Pittsburgh twice, 12-1 and 5-1. Robin Roberts won his 22nd game, a four-hitter, in the nightcap.

Detroit beat Baltimore 4-1 on Steve Gromek's four-hitter and Boston wasn't scheduled. Tn other action the American League champion Cleveland Indians equalled 27-year-old record for the most games won by beating Chicago 3-1 for their llOlh victory. The National League champion New York Ginnts bowed 3-0 to rookie Karl Spooner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who set major league record by striking out 15 in his first start in the Big Time. The New York Yankees defeated Washington 3-0 with Tommy Byrne winning his third game as the Yanks came up with a triple play fifth in the majors this season. Brooks Lawrence won his 14th game for the St.

Louis Cardinals chocking the Chicago Cubs 6-3 on five hits. Two of the three Cub runs came on a fifth-inning homer by pitcher Dave Cole. Don Mossi, a rookie used mostly in relief, and Al Smith combined their talents in the Cleveland vie tory, Mossi shut out the White Sox through the first eight innings and Smith drove in two of the three Indian runs with a double in the second inning and a triple in the fourth. Spooner, just up from Fort Worth of the Texas League, held the Giants to three singles, only one of them a hard hit ball. He fanned six in a row at one point and broke Cliff Melton's old rookie strikeout record of 13.

Nursing a few minor Injuries suffered in their opening game with Abingdon, the Corpus Christl Friars are preparing for their trip to Knoxville Friday night when they tangle with Coach Jack Miller's Blue Bullets. Quarterback Dave Thiol- bert has bruised right shoulder, while Fullback Nick Seibert and Halfback Jim Ellison each sustained nnkle Injuries. Ellison's Injury is the most severe bnt-R Is hoped that he will be ready for Friday night's kickoff. Although disappointed at the net results of last Friday's out- bruising 44 to 0 setback at the hands of the Commandos- Coach Bob Drolet noted that.the Friars did display brief flurries of offensive power against a heavier Abingdon crew. However, their inability to check tho Commandos forward progress more than offset any of their own gains.

Also, many mistakes ort offense, attributed mostly to their Inexperience, caused them to miss scoring opportunities. Stressing defense in this week's drills, the Friar mentor hopes that his charges can plug up a few of the holes (hat showed up in their opener nt Abingdon. Tho Blue Bullets, on the other hand, will be out after their second win of tho season, having defeated Cuba Inst week, 24 to 0. Coach Miller's team is rated one of the powers of the Little Six conference and should provide plenty of trouble for tho local aggregation Friday. A probable starting lineup for the Friars is Dan Foley, lc; Garth Kelly, It; Lcroy Boone, lg; Chuck McGcary, John Connors, rg; John Kramer, rt; Dave Bulkovich, re; Dave Thiclbert, qb; Jim Ellison, rh; Frank Sei bert, Ih; Nick Seibert, fb.
