Scoreboard

P:After jealously watching the National League's Dodgers strike gold in sports-happy Los Angeles, the American League last week decided to horn in on the rich market next season with a new team called the Angels. Biggest angel behind the Angels: Horse-Opera Star Gene Autry, 53, who has remained a baseball fan since his semipro playing days back in Oklahoma. Autry plans to broadcast Angel games on his prosperous chain of radio and TV stations, part of the empire (oil, real estate, cattle) he has rounded up as king cowboy.

P:Declaring that the University of Kansas had illegally recruited Star Halfback Bert Coan, the Big Eight stripped the proud Jayhawkers of their first conference football title in 30 years. The new champion: Missouri, which was trounced by Coan and Kansas, 23-7. P:He had little speed and his batting swing was a convulsive twitch, but the New York Yankees' Gil McDougald was smart enough to become in his time the most versatile infielder in the majors. Last week, at 32, McDougald proved again how smart he was by quitting the game after two fading seasons (1960 average: .259) to devote himself to his prospering building-maintenance company.
