In Race for NL Pennant

PITT'SBURGH (M-Bob Clem-
ente's two out 10th inning single
gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 2-1
victory over Milwaukee yesterday
and dropped the Braves a full
game behind the league-leading
Brooklyn Dodgers with only seven
games remaining in the drama-
packed National League race.
Righthander Bob Friend, the
Pittsburgh pitching ace, stopped
the pennant contenders with a
taut 4-hit masterpiece to bring his
season record to 16-16.
Clemente's single broke a 1-1
deadlock after the Braves knotted
the score in the ninth with the
aid of two errors by Pirate first
sacker Dale Long.
Bill Mazeroski led off the Pitts-
burgh tenth with his second hit of
the game, moved to second on a
sacrifice and tallied on Clemente's
solid smash to center.
Shepard Homers
Jack Shepard's seventh homer
of the season-a 370 foot poke over
the left field wall-put the Pirates
ahead in the seventh.
Chuck Tanner, batting for Mil-
Waukee starter Bob Buhl walked
to lead off the ninth and moved
to second on a sacrifice; Frank
Torre advanced him to third with
an infield roller.
With two out, Hank Aaron
grounded to shortstop but Long

threw wild past third.

BROOKLYN (W)-The consensus
among the Brooklyn Dodgers is
that the National League pennant
race won't be decided until the
final weekend of the season .. .
maybe not until the final day,
Sunday, Sept. 30.
The one notable exception is
Don Newcombe, the team's ace
pitcher, who thinks the Dodgers
may win . . . or lose . . . the
pennant in Pittsburgh this week-
end.
"I think we should be able to
get a pretty good idea whether
we'll win it after our four-game
series in Pittsburgh," Brooklyn's
25-game winner said before the
Dodgers took off for Pittsburgh
Thursday. "If we should return
to Brooklyn next Tuesday no
worse than even in the lost col-
umn," he added, "we should do
it."
Newcombe had in mind, of
course, that the Brook's final five
games of the season will be played
at friendly Ebbets Field, two

against the fifth-place Philadel-
phia Phillies and three against
the sixth-place Pirates.
On the other hand, Milwaukee's
final four games of the season
will be played on the road, one
against third-place Cincinnati
and the last three against the
fourth-place St. Louis Cardinals.
Alston sai present plans call
for Maglie and Newcombe to make
three appearances each before the
end of the season.

waukee opens a three game series
with the Cubs at home Friday
night and the Dodgers come to
Forbes Field for a four-game set
with the Pirates.
Cincinnati, who still has, a
nathematcial chance of catching
the Dodgers, trails Brooklyn. by
tour games, but are five behind
on the all important loss side.

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DOLLAR
Today I begin the third year of writing this col-
umn for Philip Morris Cigarettes, and I am merry in
my heart
I am merry for several reasons. First, because I am
being paid.
Not, let me hasten to state, that an emolument was
necessary. "Sirs," I said a few days ago to the makers
of Philip Morris, who underneath their dickeys are as.
frieridly as pups and twice as cute, "Sirs," I said to this
winsome assemblage, "there is no need to pay me for
writing this. column. If I can introduce America's college
men and women to Philip Morris's natural tobacco good-
ness, if I can inaugurate them into the vast sodality of
Philip Morris smokers and thus enhance their happiness,
heighten their zest, upgrade their gusto, magnify their
cheer, broaden their bliss, augment their glee, and in-
crease their PQ-"
PQ?" said the makers, looking at me askance.
"Pleasure Quotient," I explained.
'Ah!" said the makers, nodding their sweet, shaggy
heads.
"If," I continued, "I can do these splendid things foi
the college population of America, there is no need for
money, because I am more than amply repaid."
We wept then. I am not ashamed to say it. WE
WEPT! I wish the wiseacres who say big business is
cold and heartless could have been there that day. I wish
they could have witnessed the deep, croaking sobs that
racked the gathering, the great, shimmering tears that
splashed on the boardroom table. We wept, every man-
jack of us. The makers wept. The secretaries wept. I
wept. My agent, Clyde Greedy, wept. We wept all.
"No, no!" cried one of the makers, whose name is
Good Sam. "We insist on paying you."
"Oh, all right," I said.
Then we laughed. The gloom passed like a summer
shower. We all laughed and chose up sides and played
stoop-tag and had steaming mugs of cocoa and lit plump,
firm, white cigarettes, brimming full of natural tobacco
goodness. I mean Philip Morris,' of corris!

A week from Sunday the 1956
National Football League season
will open with a full slate of six
games.
Most of the pro football know-

it-als seem to look for.two-team
races., in both the Eastern and
Western Divisions.
In the Eastern, the definite re-1
tirement of quarterback Otto Gra-
ham fails to convince most of the
experts that the World Champion
Cleveland Browns are unable to
repeat.
Parilli Back
Babe Parilli, the ex-Kentucky
flash who has returned from the
service, will combine with veteran
George Ratterman to give the
Ohioans what could still be the
most competent signal-calling in
the league.
Add to this the stiffest defense
in the league, the magic touch of
Coach Paul Brown, the toe of
place-kicker Lou Groza and the
running abilities of Ray Renfro,.
Fred Morrison, Ed Modelewski and
newcomer Preston Carpenter plus
the Browns' usual depth, and the
result appears to be a title.
Giants Also Figure
Chief opposition will probably
come from the New York Giants,
who can be tough when their vet-
eran quarterback, Charley Conerly,
is connecting.
The Giants have some top backs,
including Frank Gifford, Kyle
Rote and Alex Webster,.the former
Canadian performer who made his
NFL debut last season as a real

workhorse, averaging five yards
Washington will also have. a
solid club, but the recent auto
accident which could have ended
the career of star halfback' Vic
Janowic may have meant the end
to the Redskins' title chances.
The Philadelphia Eagles' new
coach, Hugh Devore, has what
could be a real contender.
Some brilliant rookies, led by
Maryland's "lineman of the year,"
Bob Pellegrini, and ex-Notre Dame
fullback Don Schaefer, will com-
bine with some seasoned perform-
ers, led by two capable signal-
callers, Bobby Thomason and Ad-
rian Burk.
The Chicago Cardinals and
Pittsburgh Steelers both have the
problem of coming up with an

able starting quarterback, an es-
sential in today's game of ebncen-
trated passing.
The Redbirds will find the
answer to, their problem if two-
year veteran Lamar McHan can
show evidence of his experience
after a somewhat rocky trial
period.
The Steelers will be hurt by the
retirement of veteran quarterback
Jim Finks, but the leading candi-
date as his replacement, ex-Mary-
land star Jack Scarbath, could
make the grade.

Refreshed and exalted, we returned to the busi-
ness at hand. "Now then," said one of the makers, whose
name is Merry Andrew, "what will you write about in
your column this year?"
"About students and teachers," I said. "About classes
and cutting. About eds and coeds. About Greeks and
independents. About the important issues that occupy
the supple young minds -of college America."
"Like what?" asked one of the makers, whose name
is Tol'able David.
"Like how to finance a full social life without a re-
volver," I replied. "Like how to wear Bermuda shorts
though your knees look like brain-coral. Like how to
double-date in an MC",
"And will you," asked one of the makers, whose name
is Peter-Sit-by-the-Fire, "from time to time say a pleas-
ant word about Philip Morris Cigarettes, which are now
available in two sizes -Regular in the familiar Snap-

Even in aviation's earliest years, it was axiomatic that "proof
must come in the air". Out of this, the flying test bed was born
....and slowly grew to its present-day stature as an indispen-
sable engineering tool, implemented by an extensive variety
of engineering skills.
The problems of observing and recording an engine's per-
formance in the air are legion. Most recently, a Boeing B-50
and a North American B-45 were readied as test beds for
Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's J-57 and J-75 turbojets. The
experimental power plant, contained in a retractable pod in
the bomb bay, can be flown to locations where atmospheric
conditions permit most efficient testing. The prototype is
then extended into the air stream for actual flight work with
the regular engines idled, and the job of observing and
recording in-flight performance begins..
From the first shakedown flight to the test engine's even-
tual acceptance, invaluable information is gathered. Perhaps
the most vital contribution made by P & W A's flying test-bed
program is the great reduction in time between initial devel-
opment and quantity production of engines. Important, too,
is the quality and diversity of engineering talent involved in
such a program, for it spells out remarkable opportunity for
today's engineering student.
