the 25-degree chill of Detroit's
Briggs Stadium next Sunday?
You'll hear that question among
fans talking about the forthcom-

the Detroit Lions for the National
Conference title in the National
Football League.
Coach Hampton Pool of the
Rams-who can be expected to
argue thus for psychological Tea-

hurt the Rams.
Coach Buddy Parker of the
Lions-who can be expected to
argue the other way-also thinks
the cold weather will hurt the
Rams. Parker thereby qualities

Bookmakers around Detroit
especially those who remember
how the Rams lost the NFL title
two years ago in a similar sudden
change of temperature-think the
cold weather may hurt the Rams.
The bookies made the Lions one
point favorites last night.
The weather is definitely in
their favor" Pool said in Los
Angeles. He will bring his squad
here for Friday and Saturday
workouts before tackling the Lions
Sunday before a national tele-
vision audience and a possible
sellout crowd of $4,000.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 17.-Old Man
Archie Moore, fulfilling a youth
full ambition at 36. ends a 10-yeal
trail to the championship ring to-
night in his 15-round title fight
with joey Maxim, the light heavy
weight champion.
This is the chance of a lifetime
for Moore, and it almost took the
st. Louis Negro a lifetime to gain
it. For almost decade, Archie
has been brushed off by light
heavyweight champions, a sad
fate for an 18-year-old beginner
who had planned to get a title
chance and retire at 25.
Despite the time lag, now that
Moore has the opportunity he's
favored to take the 175-pound
crown from Maxim, 30-year-old
Italian from Cleveland. The odds
give Moore an 8-to-5 edge, but
they'll probably drop to close te
even before the two men enter
the ring.
Fight on Television.
A crowd of about $4,000 fans
is expected to pay about $85, ,000
to see the International Boxing
Clubs attraction at the arena
The bout will be telecast and
broadcast nationally. with only
the st. Louis area blacked out.
(The bout will be seen in
Washington over Station
WTOP-TV (Channel 81 start
ing at 10 pm. and also will be
broadcast over WTOP.)
More than 100000 in receipts
has been iced away already. and
that was enough to establish a
new St. Louis record. The old
mark was the $56,905 brought in
by Ills fans for the Willie Pep
Charley Riley featherweight title
match January 16, 1850.
To that expected $4,000 haul
one probably can add minimum
of $50,000 to the purse. That
represents the radio-TV sponsor s
reported purchase price for the
air rights.
Maxim, as champion. has the
biggest cut coming. He's been
guaranteed about $4,000 in max
ing his third defense of the title
taken from England's Freddie
Mills in 1850.
But the fact he'll receive only
a token payment doesn't bother
Moore, who insists the main
thing is that I'm finally getting
my shot. I know can beat him
I'm going to knock him out"
joey Confident, Too.
Maxim, however, is quite a fan
of the guy who said you have to
string along with the champ"
I'm the champ" joey says,
land I'll still be the champion
when the fights over"
If he isn't. the world will have
it's oldest light heavyweight cham
pion since Bob Fitzsimmons won
the title at the age Of Al.
Moore has further indicated the
fight may be over in five rounds
with Archie still standing, OF
course. To bring that abrupt end
ing he viii have to become the
second man to put Maxim away
for the count. Curtis Sheppard
did it in 1943. but Maxim won an
avenging decision later.
But Maxim, who has a tough
jaw, has to meet a rough assign
iment, too. He'll have to look
much better than he did against
Sugar Ray Robinson last summer
when, with the help Of the heat,
he put the middleweight cham
pion away on a 13-round technical
knockout. Robinson was ahead on
points until just before the end.
