With Points
By the AssociatsI Press

San Francisco survived a
losin g-minutes scare last
night and nipped st. Louis,
1l0-106, in q National Basket
ball Association cliff-hanger
But the ghost that plagued
New York in its 107-103 loss to
Detroit was too much for the
shook-up Knicks.
Boston curdled Baltimore
131-114, in the only other game
scheduled. The Warriors blew q
20-pount lead in the final eight
minutes but hung on to move
within ga games of the sec
ond-place Hawks and within
three of Los Angeles, Western
Division leaders.
Tom Meschery swiped a st
Louis inbounds pass and drove
for the clinching basket as
time ran out after the Hawks
had cut a 92-72 deficit to two
points. Wilt Chamberlain
topped the Warriors with "a
points.
The Knicks blew the whole
hall game as Donnie Butcher,
dealt to the PiStons Sunday,
haunted his ex-mates with a
17-point performance and took
charge of Detroit's offense in
the winning stretch drive.
New York newcomers Johnny
Egan and Bob Boozer couldn't
match Butchers fireworks and
the Knicks dropped their sew
enth straight.
A typical Boston streak early
in the final quarter broke UP
the Celtics-BulletS game. Balti-
more led, 92-91, when the Gel
tics went on an 1874 tear. John
Havlicek got 16 of his 4S points
for Boston in the fourth period
and Frank Ramsey collected II
of his 10 in the finals.

ADELAIDE, Australia, Dec.
10 (AP).-Dennis Ralston is
capable Of winning the Davis
Cup almost singlehandedly If
he can maintain his present
playing form and composure
Jack Kramer said today.
The one-time car of pro-
feSsional tennis, here as a radio
commentator for the Challenge
Round between the United
States and Australia starting
December 26, added that
Americas chances have been
improved by the near collapse
of the Aussies' once-mighty
tennis assembly line.
Not since I have been play
ing and watching the game, as
far back as the 1930s, have l
seen such a weak Australian
team" Kramer added. I'VE
have a wonderful opportunity
to recapture the cup and keep
it for years."
Schroeder Agrees
Kramer's sentiments were
echoed by his old Davis Cup
teammate, Ted Schroeder.
ION the form shown up to
now I don't see how we can
lose," Schroeder said. "Ral-
ston's blooming g confidence
would have to break down
completely - that seems very
unlikely-and the Australians
would have to be at their
very best"
The Americans are expected
to send Ralston and Wimbledon
Champion Chuck Mckinley
against the cup-holding Aus
sizes in both singles and doubles
in a best-of-five match series
the week end after Christmas
The Australians will use Roy
Emerson in the No. l singles
spot, and either Fred Stole OF
19-year-old John Newcombe
probably the former, in the
singles, with Emerson and 30
year-old Neale Fraser, playing
in the doubles.
Both Teams Ailing
Ralston, once the bad boy OF
the courts, has been the out
standing individual of the Aus
tralian grass courts campaign
winning two of three tourna-
ments in which he competed
and finishing as runnerup in
the other when he lost to New
combe in the South Australian
finals.
