Scoreboard

P: It took World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano nine rough rounds of wild and frantic slugging at New York's Yankee Stadium to dispose of his ancient (38) and honorable challenger, Light Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore.

Rocky swung himself arm-weary trying to tag the elusive stylist, took some jolting punches himself before he cornered his man and battered him senseless. Said Archie when he got his wits back: "I haven't an excuse in the world. Marciano is far and away the strongest man I've encountered. You can avoid him some of the time, but not all of the time." P: A few weeks earlier than usual, big-league baseball began its autumn managerial shuffle. After eight years, Lippy Leo Durocher and the New York Giants parted company. Everyone was still friends; everyone was very happy--or so Leo and Giant President Horace Stoneham insisted. When asked if he was through with baseball, Leo was more coy still. Would he move to the Cardinals? The Braves? Television? For once, Leo was not talking. The new Giant manager: ex-Giant Bill Rigney, now managing the Millers, the Giants' Minneapolis farm club. In Pittsburgh, Pirates Manager Fred Haney spoke with precision. After three years in the National League cellar, Haney, with no surprise, said he was fired.

P: Taking his time at the start. King Ranch's hefty brown colt High Gun splashed from behind in mud and fog to win the Sysonby Handicap, so-called "Race of Champions," at Belmont Park. Second by a mud-splattered head: Main Chance Farm's Jet Action. Third: Belair Stud's three-year-old champion, Nashua, running for the first time against older horses. At Atlantic City, Irish-bred Blue Choir, a four-year-old colt, ridden by leading U.S. Jockey Willie Hartack. won the third running of the $104,600 United Nations Handicap. Second: Fox-Catcher Farms' Chevation, by 3 1/2 lengths.

P:A mud-slopped field at College Park, Md., miserable weather and a few minutes of exceptionally fumble-fingered play by U.C.L.A.'s highly touted football team got the University of Maryland back in the running for the national championship. Behind their big line, Maryland's backs ran up a slim 7-0 lead in the third quarter, hung on to it to shut out the Bruins for the first time in 40 games.
