To Form Wednesday League For Women Another wdme n ’ s afternoon league is being formed, according to an announcement this morning by Gwen Mies, of Villa Lanes, i Already, more than 70 women bowlers take part in the Thursday! •afternoon'’coffee-’- ■ league -which• was organized four weeks ago. I Now', because of so many re- {i quests, a league is being organized : to roll on Wednesday afternoon. 1 Mainly this will benefit homemakers whose husbands have ‘ Thursday afternoons off. Beginners are especially invited ; to join this league, but even those ’ 1 women who already bowl in an < ] evening league or bowl regularly j, otherwise are welcome. As this ( is strictly a “fun” league, each!] afternoon’s session would afford 1 each woman an excellent opportunity for regular practice games j as well as a good time and free i instructions. ; Dick and Gwen Mies will con- J duct another free class of instruc- ' tions for beginners, starting Wed- ! nesday, at 12:30 p.m. This early , starting time has been scheduled so that mothers with young children in school can come directly ( to the recreation center from | taking them to school. The league l ' too, will begin at 12:30 p.m., and i will be completed by 3 p.m., so ( that the mothers will arrive home before their youngsters do. ] A well-equipped nursery will . again be available for pre-school children past the “diaper and I bottle” stage. There is no charge for the services of the nursery, , which has two attendants. Any woman interested in learn- j ing to bowl is urged to attend i this session, as it will probably , be the last group instruction for ; some time. Organization of the Wednesday afternoon league will j take place following the instruc- < tion period. Time will be allotted ] for each woman to bowl one < complete game, which will also i be free. < Age is no factor when it comes ] to bowling. Women from 18 to 80 ; can learn the game equally as well. Women who want to join the league but who do not want instructions can either sit in on the session, or arrive at 1:30, so that proper arrangements can be made. To make sure of having reservations for individuals or teams, call Gwen Mies, at 3-3902 or stop at Villa Lanes prior to Wednesday. League play will begin November 8. i— — 111 R | .jOßfe-. j i

Dallas Scores Upset Victory Against Giants By NORMAN MILLER United Press International Coaches Nick Skorich of the Eagles, George Halas of the Bears and Tom Landry of the Cowboys agreed today those “squeakers” were rough on the ulcers, but how can you knock any kind of a win in the dog-eat dog National Football League? Only the steamrolling Green Bay Packers seems to get by easily week after week, and the wise guys in the NFL say this can’t go on forever. The champion Philadelphia Eagles, the “squeaker’ champs of the league, defeated the winless Washington Redskins, 27-24, Sunday on a 41-yard pass from Sonny Jurgensen to Tommy McDonald with just 16 seconds left to play. This was the Eagles fourth victory by a margin of a touchdown or less. In the NFLs top game, the Chicago Bears edged the Baltimore Colts, 21-20, on Rick Casares’ touchdown with 6:27 left on the clock. Cowboys Nip Giants And in the league’s biggest upset, the Dallas Cowboys nipped the New York Giants, 17-16, on Alen Green’s 32-yard field goal with 1:23 remaining. The defeat knocked the Giants out of a firstplace tie with the Eagles in the Eastern Division of the loop. The Pittsburgh Steelers also sprang an upset when they sent the San Francisco Forty-Niners down to their second straight loss, 20-10. The Packers remained atop the Western Division with a 6-1 record when they drubbed the Minnesota Vikings, 28-10; the Cleveland Browns defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. 21-10, and the Detroit Lions whipped the Los Angeles Rams, 28-10. In the American Football League, the San Diego Chargers breezed to their eighth straight victory by walloping the Denver Brones, 37-0: the New York Titans beat the Oakland Raiders, 14-6; the Houston Oilers defeated the Buffalo Bills, 28-16, and the Boston Patriots edged the Dallas Texans, 18-17. Washington Loses 15th Jurgensen’s last-minute touchdown pass to McDonald put the Eagles alone in first place in the Eastern Division with a 6-1 record and sent the Redskins do'wn to their 15th consecutive NFL defeat. Just before that, the Redskins had ..gone, ahead. ..24-20, when rookie quarterback Norm Snead engineered an 81-yprd touchdown drive, topping it off with a seven- 1 yard scoring pass to Jim Cunningham with 51 seconds to play. Jurgensen, who completed 27 of 40 passes for 413 yards and three touchdowns, threw two passes tn Bobby Walston as the Eagles moved from their own 20 to the Washington 41. Jurgensen then 1 hit McDonald with the payoff pitch. His two previous touchdown passes went to Pete Retzlaff. A crowd of 31,066 watched the game at Washington. The Bears trailed the Colts 20-7 in the third period before they rallied to win before 57.641 fans at Baltimore. Billy Wade completed a 41-yard scoring pass to Johnny Morris in the third period and a pass interference penalty set up Chicago’s winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Interference Helps Bears Baltimore defensive back Gary Glick interfered with Bears end John Farrington, giving Chicago a first down on the Colts’ 17. A few plays later, Casares barged over from five yards out. A missed conversion attempt by the Colts’ usually reliable Steve Myhra in the third period represented the difference in the score. , At New York, a crowd of 60.284 watched the Cowboys go ahead, 14-0, in the second period, then j fall behind on Pat Summerall’s third field goal with 4:30 left to play, and finally win on Green’s 32-yard field goal. Little Eddie Leßaron passed for the Cowboys’ first two touchdowns and pitched the team into position for Green’s winning kick. Summerall kicked field goals of 44, 31 and 13 yards, and the Giants staged a four-down goalline stand within their own threeyard line in a losing cause. Rodger Ward Wins In 100-Mile Race SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPD - Rodger Ward, Indianapolis, won Sunday’s 100-mile USAC big-car race at the state fairgrounds after national champion A. J. Foyt. Houston. Tex., was forced out with mechanical trouble on the 74th lap. Foyt, winner of the 1961 “500”, had taken the lead from Ward on the 24th lap. Ward, 1959 Indianapolis winner, had held the pole position.
