Scoreboard

P: In West Point's Michie Stadium, the Black Knights of Army tired fast, were outrun all through the second half by a surprisingly powerful South Carolina football team, and lost the season's opening game (34-20) for the third time in the Military Academy's history.

P: In South Bend, Ind., a butterfingered University of Texas eleven fumbled away its best chances and helped an alert Notre Dame team win its first game of the year, 21-0 for its young (26) new coach, Terry Brennan.

P: At the County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio, a brown Delaware state colt, Adios Harry, easily outstepped a fast 15-horse field in three heats to win the world's richest pacing prize, the $69,300 Little Brown Jug.

P: In Washington, the sadly slumping Senators fired Manager Bucky Harris after five losing years, were reported ready to hire Chuck Dressen, who led the Brooklyn Dodgers to two successive National League pennants (1952-53) before being fired himself. In New York, after his first losing season in six years, Manager Casey Stengel was given a new, two-year contract by the Yankees (estimated salary: $75,000).

P: In Amsterdam, Russia's champion chess team, playing without Grand Masters Mikhail Botvinnik and Vassily Smyslov, swept through the final round of an international tournament (which the U.S. did not enter because it "could not afford to send a team"), won nine of their other matches and drew one (with Israel), also took the Hamilton-Russell trophy for the second year in a row.
