Maglie to FaCe
Ford in Opener
BROOKLYN, Oct. 2 (77—Sal Maglie, Brooklyn's 39-year-,
old "comeback kid," faces Whitey Ford,. the New York Yan-'
kees' left-handed ace, in the opener of the seventh Dodger-
Yank World Series tomorrow at Ebbets Field with President
Eisenhower in a box near the home dugout.
Although the Yanks finally were beaten by the Dodgers
fast fall in seven games and must"
play the first two games in enemy
territory, the oddmakers rate the
American League Champions 3-2
favorites to win the best-of-seven
series. The opener is 6-5 and take
your pick.
FAIR WEATHER with temp
eratures around 65 was forecast
for game time at 1 p.m., EDT.
with a throng of between 34,000
and 36,000 in the ancien,t stands.
The game was to be beamed on
network radio, Mutual, and tele
vision, NBC.
Maglie, rescued from the scrap
heap when he was acquired on
waivers from Cleveland in mid-
May, had been a doubtful starter
because of a stiff arm. When he
told Manager Walter Alston he
1, 1 1
was ready at today's f in al work
out, Maglie got the no .
"My shoulder is a 1 ttle stiff,"
said Maglie. "But I a sure it
will be okay tomorro ."
IT WAS Maglie wh inspired
the Brooks to their dri, ing finish
that finally won the pennant from
Milwaukee on the final day. The
"Barber" from Niagara Falls,
N.Y., threw a no-hitter at Phila
delphia a week ago
.and started ,
the Dodgers on the way to a vital
doubleheader sweep over Pitts
burgh by winning Saturday's first,
game.
Maglie 13-5 will be working
with only three days' rest. How
ever he has done the same thing
in his two most recent starts in
cluding the•no-hitter. A cunning
curve-ball pitcher with sharp con
trol and an uncanny ability to
cash in on a batter's weakness,
Maglie is a real "old pro." •
IN MAGLIE'S only series start
against the Yankees, he lasted
five innings for the New York
Giants in the fourth game in 1951.
Quarterback Bobby Layne of the
Detroit- Lions began the 1956 Na
tional Football league campaign
with 1.017 forward pass comple
tions. He ranks second behind
Sammy. Baugh.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
He was charged with the defeat.
Manager Alston hardly had time
to catch his breath after the tense
Sunday windup before he plunged
into immediate series plans. Be
cause of Sandy Amoros' two home
runs Sunday and his hot batting
streak, Alston decided to use the
left-handed batting outfielder
against a left-handed pitcher for
the first time.

Marshall Hits
Ivy League
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2 (IP)
George Preston Marshall, owner)
of the Washington Redskins, said
today that the Ivy League schools
which created college football are
destroying it.
Marshall told the Philadelphia
Football Writers Association that
the cure for college football's ills
is to fire 90 per cent of the col
lege presidents.
"The trouble with college presi
dents is that most of them wanted
to play football but couldn't make
the team. Now they're taking it
out on the athletes with all their
ludicrous rules."
Michigan State's longest scoring
drive of 1955 totaled 99 yeards on
13 plays in the 33-0 victory over
Marquette.
