which beat the Yankees,

the ball which Bill Maze

Gliding run.

Pittsburgh Mired in Trash
Pitching Future
Seems Dim for
Beoten Yankees
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

PITTSBURGH. OCT. IA.
Downtown Pittsburgh is a
gigantic wastebasket, trans
formed into a mammoth recep-
tacle for a mountain of trash
cascaded to the streets by de-
lirious fans when their beloved
BUGS became world champions
yesterday.
1t was an increible World
Series in which the losing Yam
KEGS scored % more runs than
the victorious Pirates.
The Weakness continued un-
til the final dramatic moment.
when Bill Mazeroski ignited
perhaps the most riotous Of all
baseball celebrations by belt
ing a Ralph Terry pitch over
the leftfield wall leading of
the last of the ninth inning. -.
That broke 80 tie and lift
ed the Pirates to a 1919 triumph
in the seventh game, in which
Pittsburgh shed it's pitty-pat
reputation, stood up and
slugged it out with the power
full Yankees, and got the bet
ter of it.
Smith Cracks Homer
When the Pirates lost they
lost big, by 1873, 100 and 1910.
But when they won that pull
sating decisive game they also
won it in the biggest manner
possible. They were trailing
by three runs but splurged for
five in the eighth. when Hal
Smith cracked a three-run
homer of Jim Coates.
That lead was diSSipated
when the Yankees got to Bob
Friend and Harvey Haddix for
two runs in the ninth, but MAJ
eroski touched of wild scenes
with his homer. Pittsburgh,
which waited IS years for a
champion. went delightfully."-
daffy.
The downtown area is ankle
deep in shredded telephone
books and newspapers, and it
appears that the contents of
several thousand file cases also
were tossed out Of windows in
the endless exuberance Of hys-
terical fans.
Yankees Ill Equipped
Speaking Of trash, it was
obvious that Manager Casey
Stengel regarded much of his
pitching staff as expendable.
Whitley Ford pitched two shut
outs and was a standout. but
there's regular season COM
ing up again next April and

Navy, Falcons
Set 10 Start
New Rivalry
BY BILL FUCHS
Star Stan Writer

Navy and the Air Force kick
of a football rivalry at 1880
pm, tomorrow. in Memorial
Stadium in Baltimore.
Eventually. the game is ex-
pected to take its place beside
the annual Army Navy battle,
but has some catching up to do.
Army and Navy have been play
ing football for so years.
It was lis years ago this
week that the Naval Academy
was officially opened under
direction Of President Polk. 1t
was only five years ago that the
Air Force Academy opened for
business under direction of the
Commander-in-Chief, President
Eisenhower.
A crowd of $4,000 or more is
expected in Baltimore Memo
rial Stadium. In addition the
game will be televized by
WMAL-7 in Washington and
broadcast over WRC.
Middies Flying High
1t is the Midshipmen, not the
Falcons, who are flying high at
this moment. with four victories
in four starts and a ranking
as flfth-best team in the coun-
try. They are favored by 8
points to make 1t 5 for S.
The Flyboys from Denver
were shot down on their own
field last week by Missouri, cur
rently ranked sixth on the AS
ISOLATED Press list.
The Falcons, coached by Ben
Martin, a former Navy star and
assistant coach, already know
something about football glory.
In 1858, Martins first at the
school, the Falcons ran up a
9-0-1 record that put them in
the Cotton Bowl, where they
held Texas Christian, South
west Conference champion, to
a scoreless tie.
For this first meeting, con-
siderable hoop la has been
planned, though not on the
grandiose scale that is routine
with the Army-Navy classic.

Air Force Academy-about 800

Clemson's Atlantic. Coast
Conference and Bluebonnet
Bowl champion, has a number
of reasons for wanting to beat
Maryland tomorrow afternoon
at Byrd Stadium In the next
to-last home football game for
the Terps this season. Kickoff
is at 2 pm.
They are, in order:
To avenge the 1925 loss to
Maryland last season, the last
setback the Tigers have tasted.
They now have a six-game
winning streak going - three
last season and three this
season.
Coach Frank Howard isn't
sold on Maryland's Il" forma-
tion, instituted by Coach Tom
Nugent, even though it was
the II" formation that puzzled
Howard's team in last seasons
loss to Maryland.
A victory for Clemson cou-
pied with a win by Duke over
North Carolina State tomor-
row would put the Tigers in a
tie for the lead in the Atlantic
Coast Conference. If the Wolf
pack beats Duke, Clemson
would have to win to remain
a half-game back in the stand
ingS.
Pointing for Terps
Howard has been happy only
over the results Of the last two
games with VPI and Virginia.
He hasn't been happy over the
Tigers individual performances,
He blames this on a letdown
after an opening game victory
over Wake Forest. He also
thinks the Tigers may have
spent two weeks looking to the
Maryland game.
About $4,000 persons are ex-
pected for tomorrow's game, in
Guiding 1850 who bought tick
cts at Clemson.
The Tigers were due to arrive
at AIS this afternoon and will
stay at the WaShingtonian
Motel in Gaithersburg. They
will workout there.
Although Nugent has been
pointing to the youth Of the
Maryland squad in explaining
three straight losses, Clemson's
backfield will have a sophomore
look.

several of the Tigers key vic
tories last year, is the only nom
