The big game hereabouts is up the road a piece at Storrs, where University of Connecticut plays Springfield.

For a change, the UConns don't have to open the season iaie in me oowL mat will come next Saturday at which time the Huskies will have had a game under their belts and the Elis will be opening their season. Up at Storrs they think they have a eood football team and Springfield Underdog At Storrs Frank Thomas Clouts Two-Run Homer In 7th To Decide Tight Duel they know they have a fine new stadium, best around except for the Bowl, and they'd like to fill it. Maybe they will, at that. For By bill Newell STORRS, Sept. 21 More than 10,000 early birds are ex PITTSBURGH, Sept.

21 UB-A one Saturday at least, there won't be any competition. Connecticut and Springfield have the field to themselves. Jordan Olivar, who will see the game as a more than commonly interested spectator, may have to root openly for Con-necticut. His daughter, a freshman on the Storrs campus, will probably be sitting with him. Olivar's son, the twin brother of the girl at UConn, is a freshman at Yale, which brings about the finest case of divided family allegiance since the Callahan brothers captained Yale and Princeton football teams in their senior year and played center against each other.

Olivar was saying the other day that Connecticut is a foot- pected to settle in Memorial two-run homer by Frank Thom Stadium here Saturday after noon when a battle tested Uni versity of Connecticut football team opens its season against ispnngneld College at 2 p.m.- Boasting a letterman in every nan squad not easy to He pointed out that Yale beat them 14-0 last year in the foulest sort of weather but needed a starting position, the UConn Huskies are rated slight favor couple of breaks to score the two touchdowns. ites over Springfield, also well stocked with seasoned perform TEAM HAD ITS BIG MOMENTS It will be remembered that Connecticut created tw0 tremendous New England upsets last season, one early and one late. nil ers. It will be the first home opener for Connecticut in five years, or since Bob Ignalls took over Barney Ross Ailing, Reported Critical NEW YORK, Sept. 21 Ross, who held world boxing championships in three divisions, a reported critically ill today in a hospital here.

He was admitted last Monday. "Barney is very sick and tired man," said Dr. Harold Brandaleone, who is attending him. "He has a serious liver infection and we find also possible gall bladder complications. He may have to undergo surgery." Ross held the lightweight, junior welterweight and welter weight championships during his ring career.

He was awarded the Silver star while serving in the Marine Corps, during W'orld War II. After the war, he became ill with malaria and became a dope addict. He was cured and testified before a senate committee on the evils of addiction and the cure. the head coaching duties, and the young mentor from Marble-head, will be seeking his first vitory in an inaugural.

Of this team that had its moments, a strong nucleus is back for another year, this time seasoned in the crucible of a hard 1955 schedule. Bob Ingalls, the head coach, thinks its the best squad he has had at Storrs.

A good, hard runner with speed, that makes him a constant breakaway threat.

Lou Mooradian, junior Connecticut last met Ossie as, his 23rd of the season, jolted Brooklyn's National league pennant drive tonight as the sixth place Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Dodgers 2-1. The loss trimmed Brooklyn'i first place edge to a half game over Milwaukee, playing a night game with the Chicago Cubs. With eight games remaining, the Dodgers now have an 88-58 record. The Braves were 88-59 with seven games left. Thomas' long poke in the seventh inning- clearing the left field wall, came with one out following a leadoff double by Bill Virdon only the third hit allowed to that point by righthander Sal Maglie.

Maglie, taking his fifth defeat in 16 decisions, had won six in a row and was 21-4 lifetime over the Bucs. Dodgers Score In 7th Ron Kline rode in on the) homer for his 14h victory, against 16 defeats. The 24-year-oid righthander, who hadn't beaten the Dodgers in three previous decisions this year, gave eight hits, but stayed out of trouble except for the seventh, when the Brooks scored, and the eighth innings. Gil Hodges' double, a pair of infields out and Junior Gilliam's single to deep short scored the Brooklyn run in the top of the seventh. In the eighth, Kline got in a hole with two out when Randy Jackson, playing third base for the injured Jackie Robinson, walked and Sandy Amoros followed with a single.

But Kline then put a called third strike past pinch-hitter Rube Walker on a 3-2 pitch. Kline, defeating the Dodgers for only the third time against eight defeats in a lifetime record against Brooklyn, struck out six and walked four. In the ninth, he fanned Hodges and then struck out pinch-hitter Charley Neal for the final out Solem's Maroons in 1951, win Kuiru, joe uuDiei, an mvajuable shuttle man at the line positions, and 215-pound sophomore Norman Gerber. are the line ning 7-0. However, Springfield leads 10 8 in a series begun in 1899 whicr has also seen two tie games.

The Huskies, who whipped Holy Cross 6-0 the last time (Nov. 19, 1955), will carry a six pound weight advantage into the opener if both teams field expected starters. auuwaris. No team these days gets far without a quarterback and passer. The responsibility this year at Connecticut rests with Gerry Dooling, converted halfback.

Reports are that Dooling has taken over his new duties with eclat, which if it means what I think it does, indicates the Huskies will have a good passer and field general. Except for next week's Yale game, the Huskies this season ill be staying in their own class. Curiously they won two of the three ventures into a higher bracket last season, but upsets over BU and Holy Cross would be most unlikely to happen more than fence in a while.
