...standout in a contest that saw Willie Mays cover centerfield like a vacuum cleaner, Maury Wills steal everything except the Scoreboard, the National League win 3-1. But in a losing cause, Rollins handled three hot shots to third flawlessly, and shut off a National League rally with a one-hand grab of Tommy Davis' ripping sixth-inning grounder. At bat, he was the only American Leaguer to reach base twice, scored his team's lone run. Said Rollins: "Maybe after you've been picked for the All-Star team five or six times, you can think...

Says the Boston Celtics' Coach Red Auerbach: "Show Twyman a little daylight and-boom-it's up and in." Dogged Development. Last week, given a little daylight by Boston, Twyman scored 40 points to lead the Royals...
...swarming man-for-man defense stifled the Crimson efforts completely until 2:32 had elapsed in the first period, when Bob Repetto finally hit on a one-hand set shot from outside.
