Lions and Browns
Could Wrap Up
Titles Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

Cold mathematics, as well as
probable cold weather. will be
starting three National Football
League teams in the face tomor-
row when the Detroit Lions at
tempt to sew up the Western
Division title and Cleveland tries
to move closer to the Eastern
Division crown.
The Chicago Bears, Philadel-
phia Eagles and the New York
Giants are the clubs bordering
on the narrow edge of elimina-
ton. Should all three lose, and
Cleveland win, it would insure
the third straight meeting be-
tween the Lions and Browns for
the pro championship Deem
Der 26.
Detroit can wrap up the West
ern Division race all by itself by
defeating the Philadelphia
Eagles. But if the runner-up
Bears lose their game to their
intra-city rivals, the Cardinals,
the Lions will be "in," anyway.
The records: Detroit, 81; Bears,
Ga.
Even if they beat the hapless
Washington Redskins, the
Browns will need help, not only
from Detroit, but from the Pitts
burgh Steelers, who will face
the New York Giants. Phila-
delphia and New York are dead
locked at GA in the Eastern
Division. Cleveland has won
seven games and lost two.
In games just for the records,
Baltimore will be at Los Angeles
today and Green Bay at San
Francisco tomorrow.
(The Colts-RamS game will
be televised in Washington
over WTTG. Chanel S, at
5 PM
Detroit is favored over Phila-
delphia, but the Eagles showed
surprising offensive strength last
week against Washington when
Adrian Burk threw five touch
down aerials for a 41-33 triumph.
If Burke gets hot again, the
Lions could be in for a tough
time.
Cleveland will be facing a Sc
verely crippled Washington club
which has won only two of 10
games. Quarterback Jack Scar
bath is expected to see only linn
tied duty because of an injured
shoulder.
Pittsburgh will be out for re-
venge, having dropped a decision
to New York last month, a loss
that knocked it out of first place
in the Eastern Division.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Word
has come up from the deep
South that Alabama is ready
to wrest the Southeastern Con-
ference basketball crown from
Kentucky's unbeaten champions
of last season. . That has to be
seensto be believed.
With one exception, Alabama
has the same team that finished
third last year with a 1914 con-
ference record and a 1913 over
all mark. It has size, speed, clev-
erness. shooting ability and one
of the best all-round players in
the Nation in 6-foot-8 Jerry Har-
per. who scored 800 points as a
freshman and sophomore.
The Crimson Tide also has a
crop Of promising sophomores
and a 6-foot-10 giant in Dick
Wise. a transfer student. But
whether all this is, enough to
beat Kentucky, or even Louisi-
ana State University, which rep
resented the Southeastern Con-
ference in the NCAA tourna-
ment, is problematical.
Kentucky's Big Trio Gone.
Kentucky lost Frank Ramsey,
Cliff Hagan and Lou Tsioropou-
los, the tremendous trio which
spanked the Wildcats to Is con-
secutive victories in 1953-54, but
still must be considered the team
to beat. Coach Adolph Rupp has
such stalwarts back as Bill
Evans, Linville Pickett, Gayle
Rose, Willie Rouse, Jerry Bird
and Phil Grawemeyer. Rupp also
has an abundance of sophomore
material ready to battle for reg
ular positions.
The graduation of Bob Petit,
who averaged 81 points a game,
is certain to weaken LSU. The
Tigers, however, should have a
good team again. but likely will
fall short of championship
power.
Tulane and Tennessee should
run right behind the big three.
Mississippi, with Denver Brac-
keen, should improve over last
year. So should Vanderbilt,

with it the 3-year-old cham

A prohibitive favorite in tie
betting, Determine is expected
to get away at around 2-to-5
odds and will pack the high
weight of 1876 pounds, giving
away as much as 26 gpounds to
his seven competitors.
If all eight nominees start,
the mile and one-sixteenths
race will be worth $16,525 with
the winner taking $3.50.
In his 10 starts so far this

has won a total of $303,900,
topped only by King Ranch's
High Gun, who was retired for
