In the aftermath of the lopsided American League pennant race, Managers Al Lopez, 48, of the Cleveland Indians, and Bucky Harris, 59, of the Detroit Tigers, submitted their resignations. Said Lopez, who managed the Indians to one pennant and five second-place finishes in six years: "There's a feeling that we should have finished higher. The tension has been terrific." (This was the understatement of the week.) Harris brought his team in fifth both last year and this year. He figured he could never be the "fiery, aggressive manager" demanded by the syndicate that bought the club in midsummer. P:College football started on a full fall schedule on a balmy Saturday afternoon marked by few upsets but several near misses. Yale, the Ivy League favorite, squeaked through to a 19-14 victory when time ran out on the University of Connecticut with the ball on Yale's 3-yd. line. Pittsburgh, nearly upset by West Virginia last week, came from behind to beat Syracuse 14-7. Southern Methodist, upset victor over Notre Dame, threw a scare into favored Georgia Tech, but lost 9-7. Two favorites won according to form: Michigan, 42-13, over penalty-plagued U.C.L.A., and Oklahoma, which smothered North Carolina 36-0 for its 31st straight victory.
