27. (UP.) Bucky Harris and Burt Shotton kept their World Series pitching plans to themselves tonight but indications were that Allie Reynolds or Frank Shea will be on the firing line for New York and Ralph Branca for Brooklyn in the opening game at Yankee Stadium Tuesday. Harris said he would announce his opening game pitcher right after the Yankees and Athletics close their season at the Stadium tomorrow, but the Yankee pilot refused to be drawn out over the possibilities of either Reynolds or Shea starting.

Beaten, 60 to 0 by Villanova the eek before, Kings Point nevertheless played a spirited, combative brand of football that enabled the Mariners to leave the field at half time trailing- by the respectable margin of 6 to 13.

Mostly, it was Nadherny blasting out gains of 10 and 15 yards at a clip, but one 20-yard forward pass from Tex Furse to Nadherny, put the ball on the 17-yard line and Nadherny moved it across with two dvnamic! nudges at the Mariners' line.

The doughty Uconn squad, in battling Brown to a practical standoff in the first half, had the benefit of several lucky breaks.

Brown took the opening kickoff and quickly drove to the Connect i- cut 15 before surrendering the ball I on downs. The Huskies took their first gamble here and made it look good. They refused a third down penalty and took a chance on stopping the fast-driving Bruins who needed only two yards for first down.

Local Fans Honor Boston Brave Trio Several hundred local fans will journey to Boston today fb celebrate 'Hart-fo; Day' at Braves Field before the Boston Braves-Brooklyn Dodgers baseball game closing the National League schedule. Sibby Sisti, Warren Spahn and 'Bama Rowell, three former Hartford players, will be honored. who has been particularly effec tive at the Stadium. Thirteen or his 19 victories have been scored in the "House That Ruth" built while he has lost only two games there.

His last two starts were shutouts. Shea, however, has been even more impressive, in his series tuneups. Coming back after a sore elbow kept him sidelined for weeks and rendered him ineffec tive when he did start, Shea turned in a four hitter and a two-hitter to convince Harris that he was ready for the opening game assignment. The rookie has won 14 games against five defeats. Shotton, at Boston where the Dodgers are concluding their season against the Braves tomorrow, indicated that his opening game hurler may not become known until shortly before game time, 1:30 p.

m. EST, Tuesday. But it appeared almost certain that Shotton would go with Branca, his 21-game winner al though there was a possibility he switcn to either or his lett handcrs, Vic Lombardi or Joe Ilat- ten, or fast-baller Hal Gregg. If Branco goes in the opener. Lombardi is expected to pitch the second game.

I he little southpaw, the smallest pitcher in the ma jors, does not have an imposing record, 12 victories against 11 defeats, but since mid-season has been the Dodgers' most effective pitcher. If Reynolds works the opener for New York, Shea willbe the starting pitcher in the second game of this best four out of seven series. Old Bobo Newsom. a 11-gamc winner, and either Floyd Bevens, won seven while losing only two since the Yankees brought him up from Portland in mid-season, will start the fourth. If Branca and Lombardi pitch at the stadium, Hatten, who has won 17 games, will pitch the third game at tbbets leld Thursday with Gregg going in the fourth.

Shotton also may decide to give rookie Harry Taylor, who has had a sore arm, a starting chance for when rieht he throws thp kind of or snape. uniy pitcher Chandler of the Yankees and Taylor of the Dodgers are in the problematical class. New York already was taking on a World Stries atmosphere with fans arriving hourly by train, bus and plane. Hotels were jammed and there wasn't a room available. All Yankee box and reserved seat tickets were sold out within 72 hours after sale opened and the S4 standing room tickets also, have been sold in advance.

Only standing room at $1 a head will be sold at the stadium Tuesday and Wednesday for the first two games. Capacity crowds of 67,000 to 000. depending on the standing room only tickets which will be sold, were assured. Ebbets Field also was assured of full houses of 34.000 for the third, fourth and fifth games to be played there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. None of the Ebbets Field tickets have yet been mailed to the thousands of would-be-purchasers who were lucky enough to get their appli cations in early enough.

The sixth and seventh games, if necessary, will be played at Yankee Stadium on Sunday and Monday. If rain should interfere, the game merely will be set back a day.

(AP.) Wallace Wade, Duke's old master, won revenge today by defeating North Carolina State College 7 to 0 in a. Southern Conference football game played two days after the Wolfpack was released from a polio quarantine. Duke lost to State, 13 to 6, in its opener last year and the Wade-lcd team went on to the most disastrous record, in his 24 years of coaching. He lost five and won four. Oddly enough, the Duke touchdown was made by Louis Allen of Greensboro.

It was another Greensboro boy, Don McCormick, who developed polio and forced-! the State team into quarantine. He listened today to the game by radio, from a Raleigh hospital. Duke score came late in the final quarter. Footsie Palmer of State dropped back to pass. Bert Lyle and three Duke cohorts blocked the aerial and Allen bundled in the aerial and zoomed 45 yards for a touchdown.

Army's green football team carried on the winning' ways of its departed All-American backs, Glenn Davis and Felix Blanchard, by downing Villanova 13-0 today. Frequent penalties mostly a- gainst Army at critical points, marked the 29th game in the glittering string the Cadets have spun without defeats. Eywyn "Rip" Rowan, Stubby fullback; Bill Gustaf son, Stringy halfback, and Bob Stuart, 175-pound speedster, all from last year's team were the men Coach Earl Blaik presented tp fill the shoes of Davis, Blanchard and 1946's great quarterback, Arnold Tucker.

They performed creditably but Army did not look like its championship teams of yesteryear. Recovered fumbles set the stage for both of Army's touchdowns. Gustafson fell on a Villanova bobble of the wildcats' 14 near the end of the first half and darted all the way to the goal line on the next play. Midway in the third period. Ralph Pasquariello, 220-pound Villanova fullback, dropped the ball on a line buck and Rowan recovered on Villanova's 23.

Bobby Stuart off 21 yards at his right end, and Winfield Scott went a round right end fjom the three to taiiy. Villanova presented a veteran team that was primed to end Army'long run of victories which covered the 1944, 1945, and 1946 seasons, marred only by last year's scoreless tie with Notre Dame. But the Wildcats backs could do nothing against a forward wall led by Capt. Joe Steffy at guard, and only the rifle passes of Steven Romanik kept Villanova in the running. The high tide of Villanova's offense came near the close of the third period when Romanik rifled a flat pass to Bob Polidor who had tricked the army defense so completely no one was within five yards of him.

He dashed to army's 20 where Stuart ran him out pf bounds. A line buck picked up two, and three passes were knocked down to end the opportunity. Twice in the first half penal-tics saved Villanova. The game had hardly started when Rowan, the chunky Army fullback, ran 45 yards to Villanova's five but an offside against Army wiped this out. Again at the start of the second period Army thrust irresistibly down the field to the Villanova six from which point Winfield Scott crossed the goal line after shaking off Ed Verrang, Villanova end who had his arms around him.

This time a holding penalty spoiled the play. The game drew a capacity crowd of 28,000 to Michie Stadium and was played in clear, crisp weather.

Tough, inspired North Texas State College gave the University of Arkansas Razorbacks a full after- i rioon of trouble here today but bowed before the Southwest Conference co-champions, 12 to 0, birdie 4s on to square the match for the first time since they had played the 7th hole in the morning round. They were even as they drove from the 35th tee with the fairway following expecting Miss Suggs to falter under the pressure of a string of birdies manufactured from the clubs of Miss Kirby.

The 24-years-old Miss Suggs, who already had defeated Miss Kirby this year for the Western Open and Southern Amateur titles, fired a magnificent pitch to the green and knocked in a 10-fo0t putt for a birdie to go one up. At the 36th Miss Suggs faded her tee shot into the rough and then fired a great wood to the green. Miss Kirby was just short of the green in two and chipped 10 feet away from the cup. Miss Suggs rolled to within four feet of the flag and, after Miss Kirby missed, roiled in her putt around a partial stymie for the win and the championship. Only four times in the 47-year history of the women's national has the deciding match gone to the last green.

For the Miss Sugg was four under women's par with cards of. 37 on each nine over the par 38- 38-76 course. Miss Kirby, with 39- 38-77 on the morning round, came through with the greatest golf of the tournament a 35-37 72 in the afternoon and the chal lenge that failed. That gave heri three under par lor ine two rounds. Just For Louise.

Miss Suggs, an oil company representative and daughter of a former Atlanta baseball pitcher, Clyde Suggs, who dashed to the home green to give her a big kiss seconds after her victory, had never gone beyond the second round in the tourney in her two previous efforts. She was the favorite from the start this time, won medalist honors with a near 78. and kept on winning. The finish was no less than a heartbrcaker for her fellow club member from the Capital City Country Club in Atlanta. Miss Kirby was competing in her ninth national championship.

In 1939 she fought her way to the finals, only to lose to Betty Jameson by a 3 and 2 count. A year ago, Miss Kurby won medalist honors hut lost her first round match to Grace Lcnczyk of Newington. Conn. Idaho Finally Beats Stanford on Gridiron Palo Alto, Cal Sept. 27.

It was the first Idaho victory over Stanford in the History of football competition between the two schools which began in- 1923.
