kentucky and Kansas
Meet at Lexington
lin Headline Game
BY the Associated Press

At least five top-ranking bas-
ketball teams will find out in to-
nights scrambling whether they
belong up that high.
The five-Kentucky, North
Carolina State, Kansas, Indiana
and Kansas State-have a COM
bined 20-1 won-lost record. Kan
sas State is the only one that
has lost a game.
Each still is regarded as a pos
sible national champion. After
tonight, some of that regard may
have to shift to other classy
teams.
Here are tonight's leading
games in each section Involving
the above clubs and others:
East-Temple $50 VS.. North
Carolina State $50 at Philadel-
phia.
Midwest - Indiana 900 at
Kansas State aid. Kansas (4-O)
at Kentucky (4-0D.
Southwest-Oklahoma A. and
M. (4-0) at Southern Methodist
(3-2).
West - Washington go at
California go.
Close Squeak for Wolfpack.
North Carolina State squeaked
past Eastern Kentucky Thursday
night on Sam Ranzino's ball
hawking. Tonight the Wolfpack
expects smoother going against
Temple. ~.
Indiana has worked up to a
position as leading Big Ten con-
tender, but is an underdog against
Kansas State at Manhattan.
Kansas State already has dropped
Ohio State and Purdue Of the
Big Ten.
Perhaps the best game of the
evening may develop at Lexing-
ton where Clyde Lovellette of
Kansas matches feet 9 inches
against Bill Spivey's Z feet. Ken
lucky is slight favorite but will
have to sweat some to stop the
burly Lovellette, one of the few
big men who acts like George
Mikan.
Hank Iba is recovering from a
rare bad season at Oklahoma A.
and M, so he doesn't expect
trouble from SMU. Hank is look
| ing ahead to the tough Missouri
Valley grind.
Bears Favored to Repeat.
Washington defeated California,
57-52, at Berkeley last night, and
is favored again this evening.
In other major games last night,
Louisville nipped Seton Hall, CO.
So; Murray State defeated West

Glen Flanagan Loses
Dull Bout 10 Famechon
By the A,sociofed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-"It takes
1000 Flanagans to make one
Willie Pep"
Ray Famechon, the European
featherweight champion from
France, was talking in his dressing
room about his easy 10-round
romp over Glen Flanagan Of st.
Paul, Mimi, last night at Madison
Square Garden.
HE tried to fight like Pep"
Tamechon said. They all try to
fight that way. But it takes 1000
Flanagans to make one Willie
Pep"
:: The crowd" of 4,742 that paid
$13,699 agreed with Famechon.
Boos followed the dull lopsided
battle.
!: Judge Art Suskind gave two
rounds to the retreating st. Paul
boxer. Both Referee Jack Walton
and Judge Bill Healey voted 1910
shutout for Famechon, who scaled
126H2. flanagan weighed Ut.
Glen's brother Del whipped
Sandy Sander, the featherweight
champ, last week in a non-title
bout. Glen, stick and run artist,
did little more than jab and hold
in his New York debut.
Famechon knows what he is
talking about when he compares
Flanagan with Pep. The French
man was completely bewildered
by Willie in his title bid last
winter. Famechon is cunning for
another shot at the title-now
held by Saddler. He may be next
in line after the third Saddler-Pep
fight early next year.
Next for Famechon is st.
Louis date with Charlie Riley. This
will be a Wednesday television
show, January 10.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.-Bat-
ting for the right to get into the
blue ribbon game of professional
football, the mighty Chicago Bears
and the Los Angeles Rams square
away tomorrow in the Coliseum
in a duel that has aroused more
excitement than any encounter of
the season.
The famed Bears and the cleo
trifying Rams will settle the Ma
tional Conference race, and the
victor will go east to play the
winner of tomorrow's other divi-
sion playof between the Cleve-
land Browns and New York Giants
on Christmas Eve.
That will be the blue ribbon
game. but for Rams fans here
tomoy -ow's game is it.
Huge Crowd Expected.
Admittedly the Rams couldn' t
run into a tougher, more agrees
sive team than the Bears, espe-
Icially when so much depends on
the outcome. ~
Good weather has been forecast
and the Rams front Office is &C
tually hesitant to predict the turn
out. Club officials feel certain it
will number 10000, and they won't
be at all surprised if it is larger.
Some others have gone so far as
to say they expect a complete SELL
out of the Coliseum's 10l ,O00-plus
capacity.
The Rams rate as the finest
team in pro ball in passing, and
the Bears are noted for their
steady. crunching gains on the
ground. The Rams have not been
too rugged on defense and it could
be that Coach Joe Stydahar and
assistants have fashioned an i'm
proved running game to balance
the passing game.
The Rams twice this year have
bowed to the Bears, 24-20, here
last September, and 24-14, in the
snow at Chicago three weeks ago
But the price-makers have made
the Rams seven-point favorites
presumably because they will be
playing on their home field, have
rested since December 3 compared
to the uninterrupted Bears sched-
ule, and perhaps on the theory
that the odds are against Chicago
beating the Rams three times in
the same season.
Jim Hardy Picks Rams.
Quarterback Jim Hardy of the
Chicago Cardinals, who steered his
team to a victory over the Bears
two weeks ago, thinks Los Angeles
will take the Bears. Hardy, a for
mer Ram himself, hurried back
home here to see the game. He
tabled it as a close one, however.
:; Stydahar still wouldn't say who
will start at quarterback, Norm
Van Brocklin or Bob Waterfield.
Best guess was Waterfield, who
started against the Bears in the
previous games.
Johnny Lujack will have the
rival spot for Chicago. Coach
George Halas named George Gull
yanics and Julie Rykovich for the
halfback positions and Fred
Curly Morrison, a rookie, for
fullback.
Kickoff time is 2 pm. 6 pm,
