Ir'LL BE DODGERS' DON NEWCOMBE VERSUS.., NEW YORK (P)-Mickey Mantle remained a doubtful starter andE t h e weatherman predicted ac "chance of showers" for openingt game of the sixth New York-i Yankee - Brooklyn Dodger WorldX Series at Yankee Stadium. Despite a gloomy statement from Mantle that he was "not1 hopeful of playing in the series -at least in the first game or two at the stadium"-the Yanksr remained a strong 13 to 10 favor-1 ite in man-to-man betting to take the best-of-seven set. The open-1 ing game price was 6 to 5 with the Yanks favored. , Mantle tested his injured right leg in a brief workout at Ebbets Field Tuesday. "It doesn't affect my hitting at all," he said, "but] it hurts when I try to run." Stengel's Lineup Set Manager Casey Stengel wasn't] present at the Yank workout in the enemy park but he has indi-] cated he would use Irv Noren, a1 left-handed hitter, in center field if the switch-hitting Mantle were unavailable. Elston Howard prob-I ably will be in left, and Phil Riz- zuto at short, the other doubtful1 positions. Stengel didn't attend the work- out because he was to meet with Commissioner Ford Frick, Brook- lyn Manager Walter 'Alston and the umpires in a review of series regulations. The Dodgers worked out in early afternoon at Yankee Stadium. The weatherman may have a final say on this first game. He forecast a chance of showers but also observed that the rain might drift north of New York and also might come in the morning, too early to interfere with the game, scheduled for noon, EST. In -the event of a postponement, the entire schedule would be pushed back with No. 1 tickets good for Thursday at the Stadium. Commissioner Frick would make the decision of any postponement after a conference with officials of the home club, the Yanks in this instance. Dodgers Healthy Carl Furillo, Dodger right field- er, missed his second straight workout, due to a head cold and Injured End Maentz lopes To See Action Again Soon The appearance of injured end Tom Maentz in a sweat suit for a light workout yesterday was the brightest part of an otherwise rainy. football practice.r Maentz plans to confer with doctors again, and there is a fair chance that the husky and valu- able junior may be back in action much sooner than first expected. His back injury, defined as a frac- tured tranverse process of a verte- bra, is not apparently going to keep the receiver out all of the six weeks first feared. The basic- ally non-functioning part of the bone varies in time needed to heal. Aim For MSU While only time will tell in the case of Maentz, the Wolverines are pointing towards the weekend encounter with Michigan State. Spirit seemed high. Yesterday's drills concentrated on having the reserves run -MSU plays against the starting eleven. ) While the linemen were working earlier on blocking assignments, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan had the ends and the first three backfields work on defending against pass I-M Meeting There will be a meeting of all Intramural athletic mana- gers tonight at 7:30.

Five minutes of stren- uous wind sprints ended the prac- tice. The injury situation stands about the same. Both Tony Bran- off, and Terry Barr, who sus- tained a minor head injury in the Missouri game, were out running. Sophomor center Bill MacPhee is still a question mark with a bad leg. Tackle Dave Owen and center Jerry Goebel should both dress for Saturday's game, although neither have recovered fully from old injuries. a touch of sinus. However, the club doctor has assured Alston that Furillo will be ready to play in the opener. Except for Clem Labine, the relief pitcher, who had a "slight touch , of virus," the Dodgers were healthy. Labine practiced and said he'd be ready. The Dodgers can't understand why the Yanks are favored be- cause Stengel's pitching staff leans heavily to the lefthanded side and the Brooks have a repu- tation for murdering lefties. In fact, only one southpaw, Louis Arroyo of St. Louis, went the route against them all season while they were romping to the pennant by a 131/2 game margin. However, the Dodgers were only 5-6 against lefties, counting re- liefers and starters who didn't last. Whitey Ford (18-7), a chunky lefthander, works the opener for the Yanks against Don Newcombe (20-5), the jumbo righthander who won 10 games in the spring before losing. The Yanks will use Tommy Byrne (16-5), another lef- ty, against Billy Loes (10-4), a second straight righthander, in the second game. Brooklyn, of course, never has won a series, losing five to the Yanks from 1941 through 1953 and bowing to the Boston Red Sox in 1916 and Cleveland in 1920. The Yanks, winning their 21st pen- pant in 35 years, have a tremen- dous 16-4 record in series competi- tion. They haven't lost one since 1942 to St. Louis.

Few Injuries For Spartans Michigan State had one consol- ation today as the Spartans point- ed toward their big one next Sat- urday against Michigan. No serious injuries showed up after the Indiana game. Clarence Peaks, versatile left half from Flint, threw a scare into coaches when he reported a pain in his chest, but this showed up to be a chest bruise and he should be ready to go Saturday. Right half Jim Wulff, who bruised himself running into a concreate wall shortely after he made his 65-yard touchdown sprint, also will be ready for act- ion, as will spiked tackle Emery Robinson. s TOM MAENTZ . ..road to recovery Prizes For Grid Picks Think you know your foot- ball?
