(U.R) Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf head foot ball coach at the University of California for the past 10 years, announced Tuesday night he is retiring at the expiration of his contract. The portly mentor, who brought the Bears to the Rose Bowl three times during his career at Berkeley, said he has been planning to retire "for some time." He did not disclose his future plans. Waldorf first announced his decision to the squad. Then he issued a statement that said: "I intend to retire as coach of football at University of Cal ifornia at the end of my present contract, which expires July 1, 1957. I have thoroughly enjoyed Tny 10 years at the University of California and I have particu larly enjoyed working with this year's squad." Waldorf, 54. came to Calif NEWCOMBE SELECTED NATIONAL LEAGUE MVP New York (U.R) Lumber ing Don Newcombe, the bulky Brooklyn pitcher who supposed ly isn't able to win the "big ones," won the biggest honor the National league has to offer today when he was named the Most Valuable Player for 1956. The 30-year-old Dodger right hander gathered a total of 223 points to beat out teammate Sal Maglie, who finished a surpris ingly strong second with 183 points. For Newcombe, who won 27 -Tames the past season but was knocked out twice by the Yan kees in the World Series, his first MVP. award capped an un usual year during which "choke up" charges were hurled at him oespite his impressive victory total. And for the 39-year-old Mag lie, who was considered "all through" when Cleveland let him go to the Dodgers in May, his strong second-place showing climaxed a banner season during which he pitched a no-hitter against the Phillies and proved a motivating force in Brooklyn's climb to the pennant. The entire balloting, in which 24 members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America took part, was more or less a manopoly for the Dodgers. Five of them finished among the top 10, with second baseman Junior Gilliam winding up fifth, short stop Pee Wee Reese eighth and centerfielder Duke Snider .10th. Milwaukee outfielder Hank Aaron, the league's leading hit ter with a .328 average, gained third place behind Newcombe Sports Broadcasts Television station KBES will bring the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers professional football game at 9 a.m. and the Universi ty of Oregon-Oregon State col lege football game at 1:15 p.m. Thursday.
