The Yankees win 4-3 as Mantle remains at 53 homers, Terry gets the win and Pierce saddled with the loss in a game interrupted by rain.

He has refereed 963 basketball games in 13 years and will reach 1,000 in February with Oklahoma against Missouri at Columbia. Osburn has worked 277 football games since 1944 and is the youngest Big Eight official, the only Kansan on the 12 member crew. He started officiating in 1944 after being asked to referee a high school game. He plans to work about 40 league games and 20 tournaments this season, officiating in six midwest leagues including the Big Eight and KCAC. He notes major-school players’ higher skill reduces infractions and describes pregame meetings to study plays and rule interpretations. He has never considered turning pro, cites family time and atmosphere as reasons. He also serves on officiating boards and is praised for 20 20 vision.
