Newspaper Page Textrjaukee iraves (Some Closer, Yanks Remain on "Magic Two' By UNITED PRESS The Milwaukee Braves re duced their pennant - clinching magic number to three Satur day by whipping the Chicago Cubs, 6-2, while the Cincinnati Redlegs downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-8. on Roy McMil lan's 10th inning home run. In the American league, the New Yorl? Yankees' magic num ber remained at two when they dropped an 8-3 verdict to the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox rallied to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 7-6. A grand slam home run by Ted Williams the 15th of his career powered the Red Sox to victory and postponed the Yankees' pennant party at least 24 hours. Willard Nixon gained credit for the victory althougn he needed help from Ike Delock, who came In with the bases load ed in the eighth inning and re tired Enos Slaughter on an inning-ending fly. The White Sox erased a 6-2 deficit in defeating the Indians. They scored three runs off Early Wynn in the seventh and then climaxed their rally with a pair in the eighth highlighted by Ron Jackson's homer and a run scoring single by Ted Beard. The Philadelphia Phillies ral lied to defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers, 3-2, when relief pitch er Ed Roebuck walked Richie Ashburn with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Jack San fcrd gained his 18th victory while Johnny Podres suffered his ninth defeat. The New York Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates split a' twi night doubleheader, the Pirates winning the opener, 5-4, and the Giants the night-cap, a-5, while the Kansas City Athletics de feated the Detroit Tigers, 6-3, and the Washington Senators de feated the Baltimore Orioles, 8-1. i Ramon Mejias' single in the . . ... sixth Inning scored winning pitcher Bob Purkey with the de ciding run for the Pirates in the first game, while sub first base man Gail Harris, with a homer, triple and two singles, accounted pr seven runs to lead the Giants to their win.

Full back Jack Morris booted Ore gon's first field goal in eight years Saturday to give the high ly favored Ducks a 9 to 6 victory over underrated Idaho in a Pa cific Coast conference football game. Morris's boot came shortly be fore the end of the third period. It broke a 6-6 tie and kept Ore gon in the four-team race for the Rose Bowl. It was a game mark ed by staunch defensive play in which serious threats were few, but each team made the most of the breaks. The only Oregon touchdown came after substitute fullback Chuck Osborne intercepted Ida ho quarterback Howard Willis's pass on the Oregon 30. Twelve plays later Oregon quarterback Jack Crabtree plunged over from the one. Osborne contributed a 32-yard run to the drive, and Crabtree kept it going with passes of 11 and 17 yards to halfback Leroy Phelps. Morris apparently succeeded in setting a conference mark for conversions when he booted his 24th without a miss, but a pen alty nullified the effort and he missed his next try from the 17. The Vandals kept coming in the third. Eighteen plays after taking the k i c k o f f, Willis plunged over for the tying score. Guard Jerry Kramer's conver sion attempt was wide. The winning field goal was set up when Oregon end Ron Stover broke through to throw halfback Lloyd Fenton for a long loss to the Idaho 16. Then a bad quick kick by Fenton went out of bounds on the Idaho 32. Half back Jim Shanley, who carried the mail most of the day for Oregon, fumbled but recovered for an 11 yard gain, but once again the Idaho line halted the march. Then Morris stepped back and booted squarely through the uprights to settle te issue. Although Morris failed in his attempt at a conference record, Idaho fullback Ken Hall may have succeeded. Statisticians pro duced three sets of figures, from 76 to 83 yards, on his quick kick that opened the fourth pe riod. Depending upon the final ruling, the punt may break the previous record of 82 set by Flip Kleffner of Idaho against Washington State in 1953. (10 innings) St. Louis 8 11 0 Cincinnati 9 11 2 Jones.

(IP) The lean and hungry Mustangs of Southern Methodist, who are ex pected to finish in the South west conference basement this season, upset favored Califor nia 13-6 Saturday to mark their seventh straight victory over a West Coast team. This second touchdown came after the Beears had failed for the third time during the half to make enough yardage while gambling on a fourth down sit uation.

Led by Sam Snead, who failed to make the Ryder cup team for the first time in the past seven selections, the team of challeng ers could win only the first of five four-man best-ball matches over a sodden course which gave absolutely no roll to the long hitting pros.

(IP)- The Stanford Indians frolicked to a 46-7 victory over San Jose State Saturday In what amounted to no more than a dress rehearsal for Stanford's national TV ap pearance next Saturday. Some 26,000 sun-washed fans watched the Indians run up a decisive 34-0 halftime advantage and then depend exclusively on reserves in the second half as Stanford "worked out" for next Saturday's game - of - the-week with Northwestern. At the final gun the true cali ber of the Indians' play remained a mystery to both the North western scouts and the crowd. Coach Chuck Taylor used his regulars for little more than one quarter of play. The second half was given over entirely to Stanford's third and fourth teams, and, even against them, San Jose was no Pocatello, Idaho (IP) Idaho State college unveiled its 1957 football team here Saturday with a 22-0 victory over Hastings, Neb., college in the season open er for both teams in the Spud bowl. test.
