Glenn, a 245-pound offen sive guard from Vancouver, Wash, and ex-Linfield college, died in a Houston, Tex., hos pital Sunday night from head injuries suffered in the Tit ans' 27-21 setback at the hands of the Houston Oilers. On the playing field, Sun day's games in both the Na tional league and the AFL had a touch of the Frank Merriwoll script. The Green Bay Fakers up set the champion Baltimore Colts in the biggest surprise of the six-game program; the New York Giants and San Francisco Forty-Niners both won in the last minute of play; and the Philadelphia Eagles scored their winning touchdown with six minutes remaining..

In the two other games. the Chicago Bears thought they had a romp against the Los Angeles Rams but had to beat off a desperate late rally before winning, 34-27. And even the weak-sister Washing ton Redskins looked good in beating the Dalles Cowboys, 28-14. The young American league got into the thrill-a-minute act, too. A 99-yard kickoff re turn by Jetstream Smith started the Oakland Raiders off on a third-period scoring spree that upset the Dallas Texans, 20-19, and rookie halfback Charlie Toiar bolted 40 yards from scrimmage in the final quarter to supply the Oilers with their winning margin in their tragedy-rid den triumph over the Titans.

ONLY each Pittsburgh Proves Its Courage, Winning Best Series Game So Far New York - (UPD - Whether history finally writes that they won or lost the World Series, the Pittsburgh Pirates of I960 now feel they have proved their courage. Few teams in baseball an nals were the targets of more rude jokes than these Cor- irs when they absorbed back-to-back 16-3 and 10-0 drubbings from the New York Yankees. Words like "over rated" were being tossed around and gagstcrs inquired whether the Pirates would "show up for the rest of the Scries." All that ended Sunday, how ever, wnen tne pirates out scrapped the Yankees in a tough 3-2 game that could have gone either way. .

SOC touchdowned four times on running plays, but passes played an important role as the Raiders inflicted upon the Vikings their second circuit loss. The Ashlandcrs, who came through with the six touch downs Coach Al Akins want ed them to score, never trail ed in the fracas, Tabulating twice in the first quarter, once in the second and three times in the third, they never trailed in the hassle.

Butch Ward capped the Viking scor ing with a three-yard pay-off run. Quarterback and end Gor don Carf.gan, quarterback Olson, and Hartman and full back Allen Barnes spearhead ed the Ra!V?r overall assault. Carrigan rushed for 24 yards, passed for 49 and received for 35, a total of 108 from scrimmage. Olson completed nine of 17 aerials for 188 yards, Hartman caught four throws for 101 and Barnes packed the ball 13 times for 70. For the Viklns Grant hit receivers on 14 of 30 passes for 150 yards and White car ried seven times for 35. Penalties hampered the of fensive efforts of both con tingents but, in turn, rival in fractions implemented the drives of each.

Pirate Manager Danny Murtaugh likes to maintain that his athletes "never are affected in today's game by the memory of what happen ed yesterday" and he insists that his club ' was not down in the dumps" after those two nightmarish beatings. But there could be no doubt in the Pirate clubhouse that these Bucs felt they had proved s o m et h 1 n g.

Murtaugh declared that he was not surprised at the strong comeback.

Clipping was called on a 10-yard TD sweep by PSC's White, enabling the Raiders to repulse a Viking bid and begin a touchdown drive of their own. Breaks Boost A pass interception and a recovered kick-off, In addi tion to the fumbles, paved the path to Raider scores.

Carrigan kept for 20 and took an Olson toss for 14. Scoring play was Bransom's nine-yard-er. Knight wasn't able to get off the extra kick. 41 Yard Runback Portland tallied after White ran Tony Brauner's punt back 41 yards to the SO 42. The Grant throw to White was the score. Frank McCor mack thumped the conver sion. The Olson to Hartman 40 yarder wrapped up a 73-yard Raider push in the third stan za, A bad center snap spoiled the conversion try. Bransom then swiped a PSC pass. SO took the ball to the Viking 48 an, after two running plays, Francis hurled his long strike to Hartman. Snap back on the PAT play agalnt went awry and Del Brood's run try failed. Mike M a k i recovered Knight's onside kick-off on the Portland 40. Olsen went over on the 10th play of the march.

I don't know how to spell it, but that's what we are." All even at two victories each after the Pirates victory in the tense fourth game of the Series, the teams closed out the New York phase of the Series today. The Series will resume in Pittsburgh on Wednesday and the seventh game, if needed, is scheduled for Thursday. The Yankees, who have won two games "by a mile' and lost two "by inches, rul ed 8 to 5 favorites to win to day's fifth game and were 9 to 5 choices to win their eighth world championship in 12 years under Casey Sten gel. The odds were a tribute to the professional bettors' con fidence in Stengel and the Yankees even though the Pi rates were firing Harvey Had dix, an experienced pitcher of solid talents. The Pirates had two rea sons to feel confident - tney won the best game played in the Series so far Sunday and no matter what happened to day they will go back home for the final two games. They got sturdy early-in ning pitching from Vern Law and they got a strong wind-up performance from Elroy Face, Bill Virdon Hero Again For Pirates (Editors note: For the 2nd time in the World Series, centerfielder Bill Virdon turned out to be Pitti burgh'i hero Sunday. He drove in the decisive two runs in the fifth inning and , then saved the game with a brilliant catch in the sev enth. He gave his impres sion of the game in the fol lowing dispatch. By BILL VIRDON Written for UPI New York-iUPD - This has turned out to be a pretty good World' Scries for me so far and I guess it proves that it's much better to be lucky than good. I was very fortunate today. Both at bat and in the field. Ralph Terry had good stuff and he made some excellent pitches to me. He struck me out in the first inning and got me on an Infield grounder in the third. But in the fifth, he tried to get the ball down on me and hung a curve high instead. I hit the ball on the fists and it just fell in for that single. The ball I caught on Bob Ccrv in the seventh had me fooled at first. I thought it was going to carry farther than it did and I imagined I was going to run into the wall. Actually, I was a step away from the fence when I caught the ball. My arm grazed the fence and I guess I relaxed a bit because I thought I was going to run right into it. That might be the reason I slipped. Today's catch wasn't as tough as the one I made on Yogi Berra in the opening game at Pittsburgh, however. In that one, I collided with the right fielder Robert Cle mcnte, but the only thing I had to worry about this time was the wall. conversion kick missed. The Vikings marched 68 yards for a last TD, -Ward's. Dale War ren made the bonus kick.

Law, a 20 - game winning hero for the Pirates during the National league season, fought his way out of a tough first-inning jam and then held the Yankees at bay long enough for his mates to take their lead with the aid of Bill Virdon's two-run bloop single in the fifth. The Pirates needed one more key play to win it, after Face replaced Law, and they got it when Virdon raced to the base of the bleacher wall, 407 feet from the plate, to haul down Bob Cerv's sev enth-inning bid for a two-run triple.

(UPI) Hous ton officials today probed the death of a New York Titan professional football player to determine whether he died from heat prostration or a head injury. An autopsy was to be per formed on the body of How ard Glenn, a 24-year-old offen sive guard. Glenn collapsed after leaving the field in the Titan Houston Oiler game Sunday, and died about two hours later. It was at first believed the 6-2, 245-pound guard was suf fering from heat prostration from playing in the 90-degree weather. But two physicians who examined the Vancouver, Wash., native immediately after the game disagreed and ordered him to a hospital. Concussion A spokesman at the hospital where Glenn died said the cause of death appeared to be concussion followed by a cerebral hemorrhage. " It was understood that Glenn was originally injured in last week's game against the Dallas Texans. However, Titan officials were en route to New York and could not be contacted for immediate comment. The death of the Linfield (Ore.) college graduate was the third in professional foot ball history. Dave Sparks of the Washington Redskins died in 1DS4 after a game with the Cleveland Browns, and Stan Mauldin of the Chicago Car dinals collapsed and died in the clubhouse following a game with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1948. 1 HUN 7U GRATER LIONS LIGHT BULB SALE BENEFIT TONITE & TUESDAY Monday ond Tuesday, 6:30-9:30 p.m. turn your porch light on and a Crater lion Club member will gladly g sell you a $2.00 sotk full of 8 various wart bulbs.
