The Yanks outhit the Tribe, 14 to 12. but got only three extrabase hits, all doubles, and left 12 men stranded. The Yankees took a two-run lead in the fourth when league-leading batter Irv Noren, who hit four for five last night, singled with bases loaded. But Doby opened the assault which was to end the Yankee streak of 13 straight arc-light . wins with his first homer in the sixth. Straight singles by Bill Glynn. Dave Philley and Qeorge Strickland tied it up in the next, inning and Smith followed with his blow into the leftfield stands. The decision evened Ike count at six wins apiece for the two clubs against each other this year. The Yankees pitch Allie Reynolds against Don Mossi today.

Penn To Televise Penn Stale Game PHILADELPHIA (INS) — The football game between the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State on Oct. 30 at Franklin Field in Philadelphia will be televised nationally under the NCAA’s Control program. Athletic director Jerry Ford announced that the reversal in policy at Penn came about because of the wishes of its alumni, the public and its opponents and because both schools will gain additional income* from the sale of television rights. in 1951 Penn tried to bolt the NCAA control program and planned to televise all its games. But the plan was set aside when some grid rivals refused to play the Quakers unless they fell in line with NCAA TV policy. At the time athletic spokesmen said they understood it would be a violation of the. Sherman anti-trust act to “join in a nationwide ban or control of college athletic contests." Ford said Penn’s legal counsel “believes there is no illegality involved in an agreement to televise and that legality is questioned only in the case of an agreement not to televise." He said accordingly Penn “has not and will not enter into an agreement not to televise.” HOUSEHOLDS (Contiaged From fge CTeei average value equal to the 1963 assessment.
