Dodgers Have Big Chance To Gain Tonight By FRED DOWN (United Press Sports Writer) Opportunity knocks twice tonight for the Brooklyn Dodgers to . take tactical command of a National League pennant race that’s in "suspended animation" for 24 hours. » Even the official standings today don't present a clear picture of this craziest, most mixed-up of ail races. They show the Milwaukee Braves leading the Dodgers by a half game but they don’t show that the world champions need only three little putouts to make Sunday's suspended game with the Pittsburgh Pirates an 8-3 victory and go into first place by one point Then, the Dodgers would have the second opportunity — to beat the Pirates in the regularly-sclged-uled night game and go a half game ahead of the Braves with the added advantage of having one more game to play than Milwaukee. That “extra game” is'Brooklyn'sl protection tonight. The Dodgers would “remain” in second place by losing the regularlyscheduled game but still could make it up by winning the extra game on their schedule. Clem Labine (9-6) is expected to pitch for the Dodgers in the regular game with Bob- Friend <lOl6l going Tcfr PJrates, Friend has beaten the Dodgers three times this year and only last Thursday topped the Braves. 2-1. When—and there's always that i Wee little “if’ —the Dodgers offi- ' cially close out the suspended 1 “victory,” Don Newcombe will be - credited with his 26th win of the > season. The big right-hander was 1 touched for eight hits but the Dodgers supported him with a 12- I hit attack that included two homers and a single by Gil Hodges. f Bill Bruton smashed a grand-

Notre Dame Is Upset In First Game Saturday By UNITED PRESS The 1956 college football season still is an infant, but already “favorite” is a word used to scare coaches. You can’t blame the Jittery tutors, either, in view of what happened to Notra Dame, Maryland, North Caroline, Duke, and Georgia on the first big Saturday of the season . emphatic defeats where victory had been confidently expected. Another session like that this Saturday when eight of last year's top 10 teams will be in action, and the pre-season form sheet can be used for scrap paper. Notre .Dame’s case coulji be a warning to all for the Irish, 13point favorites, suffered their first opening game defeat-sin 22 years to Southern Methodist, 19-13, as Junior Charley Arnold passed for one Mustang TD and ran to another. Maryland, the nation’s No. 3 team a year ago hoping to stay among the elite under new coach Tommy Mont, suffered a 26-12 battering from Syracuse, which turned loose 212-pound back Jimmy Brown to score two touchdowns and set up another with a 78-yard run. Maryland coach Jim Tatum switched to North Carolina this year, but he couldn’t escape the upset gremlins. Wearing North Carolina State uniforms, they beat Tatum’s Tar Heels for the first time in 14 years. 26-6. Duke, co-Atlantic Coast Conference champions with Maryland last year, was rocked by South Carolina, 7-0, hnd Vanderbilt drubbed Georgia, 14-0. Pittsburgh, touted as one of the East’s top teams, barely escaped the upset wave with a 14-13 triumph over West Virginia with the help of two key fumble recoveries and a pass interception. So, of the five teams ranked among last year's top 10 who play, ed this weekend, UCLA 13-7 over Utah Friday, Texas Christian 32-0 over Kansas, and Georgia Tech 146 over Kentucky in the nationally televised game won, and Maryland and Notre Dame lost. Texas Christian and Notre Dame are the only members of the top 10 who will be idle this week. National champion Oklahoma opens its season at home against Tatum’s North Carolina team; Michigan St. (No. 2) opens against Stanford, which romped over Washing. St, 40-26; Maryland visits Wake Forest, a 39-0 victor over William and Mary; UCLA probably will be an underdog against Michigan; Ohio State No. 6) opens against Nebraska; Georgia Tech clashes with SMU at night at Dallas. Tex.; Mississippi (No. 9) visits Kentucky; and Auburn N(o. 10) plays Tennessee in Birmingham, Ala. Once again the program will include several top-notch intersectional games, with some of those above ,fn that class, plus Illinols-Californ. ia, Kansas-College of Pacific, and Washington-Minnesota. But conference fans also will h® v ® plenty of league action, an item pretty much limited to the Pacific Coast Conference last week. The Big Ten opens with Indianalowa, and the Ivy League gets under way with Columbia-Brown, and other top-potchers include the Pen. nsylvania-Penn State rivalry, opening games for both Army and Navy, and two Friday night features-Mi-ami (Fla.)-South Carolina and Southern California-Oregon St. Freshman-Sophomore Game Here Tonight The Decatur freshmen-soph-more team will play Columbia City at 6:3(V o’clock this evening at Worthman field in this city.
