Pro Basketball opens with a 10-team league considerably altered by trades and with the game's most exciting player, Elgin Baylor, back in form after a series of crippling injuries.

The big games come early in both pro and college foot ball. The undefeated Cowboys and Cards battle in St. Louis, while in the Southeastern Conference it's Alabama against Tennessee.
