Sport: Scoreboard, Oct. 17, 1955

¶ On an Autobahn outside Munich, German Motorcyclist Wilhelm Noll set two new unofficial world records for motor cycle with sidecar, with his super-streamlined, three-wheeled B.M.W. (Bayerische Motoren Werke) bike (see cut). From a flying start, Noll hit speeds of 282 kilometers (175 m.p.h.) over a measured kilometer, and 177 m.p.h. over a mile.

¶ Wild-swinging Tommy ("Hurricane") Jackson of Far Rockaway, N.Y. continued his buildup for a title bout with Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano by scoring a six-round technical knockout over clumsy Rex Layne, a Utah pushover who had lost three of his previous four bouts.

¶ Within a fortnight after his resignation as general manager of the Chicago White Sox, Frank Lane, 59, one of baseball's most astute player traders, signed a three-year contract to be general manager of August A. Busch's seventh-place St. Louis Cardinals.

¶ At Lexington, the nation's top three-year-old trotter, Scott Frost, winner of the Hambletonian and Yonkers Futurity, came on, after losing the first heat, to win the $62,702 Kentucky Futurity.
