FRANCIS PUT RECORDS ON LINE IN TONIGHT'S FEATURES NEW YORK (UJJ Two of ihe only four remaining perfect records among major college basketball teams will be on the line tonight when Temple and St. Francis of Brooklyn hit the road to risk their 11 0 slates. Temple, ranked seventh in the nation by the United Press Board of Coaches, is a heavy favorite to gain victory No. 12 at the expense of Delaware. But St.

Francis is no better than even money acninst Seton Hall in a game that will probably decide the New York City area championship. Temple really will be looking beyond tonight's tilt, because this is just the start of a road trip in which the Owls play five times in 12 days. They go on to meet Navy, Muhlenberg, St. Francii and Duquesne. Seton Hall, which has been In and out of the top 20 jn the rankings and currently is out, has lost only once In 14 games and that by a single point to Cincinnati, 82 81.

The Pirates, who will be playing at home in Sou'h Orange, N. and will have a slight height advantage, are favored by some experts because of those two factors. In other feature games on tonight's slim program, Bradley plays host to Drake, which hus a four game losing streak, and Duquesne, winner of the NIT last year, visits Niagara. ludJUNE WINSLOW ffifty 60MP HASN'T TH LOWEST 7r7S 'v a By OSCAR FRALKY United PjreM Sport Writer NEW YORKHUR Whether we like it or not, wc must face up to the fact today that the United States well may wind up behind the Russian eight ball in the Olympic Games this year. The purists hold that there Is no such Ihlng as a "team championship" in the contests which will be held at Melbourne Nov.

22 through Dec. 8. What they mean is that there is no "official" title. But Russia and the United States will be battling for the team championship, unofficial or not, when they go at it down under. The Russians thought they had it made the list time.

In their private training village they erected a huge scoreboard and gloated over it through the early 'days. When, finally, they dropped into second place by our method cf scoring, they changed the method until again they were on top. Eventually they couldn't even win that way. The board came down. It looks like a different story this time.

And if the purists are still snorting let 'em consider that Lddie Eagan, chairman of the Olympic Finance Committee, admits it well may be Russia thu time," while Harry Ilensel, Basketball Committee chairman, confirms "the Russians are out to get us." There are many factors why they just might, too. We are bound to tail off in track and field, where we won 14 of the 24 championships and the Russians were shut out. It was a sensation til performance with a three m.in sweep in the decathlon, one two in the pole vault and Horace Ashen felter's steeplechase win our first distance victory since 1908. Our swimmers matched thit pace which seems impossible to continue in view of a world wide program of athletic acceleration. We won six of the eight men's swimming events as Russia was blanked.

The Japanese don't figure to let us get away with that again. In boxing, we took five of th; 10 titles an unheard of feat. On a recent European tour our boxers win one nu.tch and lost a 6 4 series to Great Britain which was beaten in turn by Russia, 8 to 2. We must admit, too, that no longer are we invincible in basketball. In the Pan American Games we were defeated by Argentina which, with Brazil, has high Olympic hopes.

And remember, the Russians went to the finals the last time at Helsinki. Other factors include the fact that many collegians wiil pass up the games rather than risk a semester of school, and the collegians always have been the backbone of our. team. On top of that, the. late date of the games, tailored to fit the Australian summer, makes them come at a "moth bull period" in U.S.

athletics. We took the Olympics the last lime unofficial or not primarily on the basis of 40 gold medals ugalnst Russia's 23. We totaled 611 points against 553 for th Soviet. So every time we lose one of those events we won in 1952. whether to Russia cr any other tion, it's going to be a body blow.

So, too, will it be very time the Reds' crowd one of their stepped up horde into the monny. Unoff.cinl or not, it's their big target at Melbourne and 'hey'ie going fo take a lot of bea'ing.

U.R Ex soldier Joey Gi.imbra of Buffalo, N. will be rewarded with a fight at Madison Square Garden on Fe'j. 17 for his hard earned television victory over middleweight Al Andrews Wednesday night at the City Auditorium.

Andrews, scaling lfil 3 4 pounds to Giambra's 138, appeared likely to un upset In Ihe middle going when his left hooks to the body put the brakes on Giambra's countering i ttack.

At this time in the present, cngo season, which Is slightly more than half completed, there has been an average of 38.0.

Glen Henry, principal of Punxsu tawney High school, presided at the meeting, ttided by the leagues sec retary treasurer, Charles Phillips, of Brookville.

Principal Roberty Low ry and Basketball Coach Matt Rausch attended from Kane. Curwensville became eligible for the league only recently when the' total enrollment in its upper four I grades exceeded 5(KI students. Its team will play its first league game next season. Two other maor items of business to come before the league officials included the question of using Jay vee players in varsity games and agreement on next season's league schedule. The officials approved a motion which states that no player may play in both the Jayvoe game and the varsity game on the same night.

The ruling does not apply this year and effective at the start of the 1936 57 season. The question of whether a Jay vee player can play in a varsity gnme came up during last week's Knne Clearfield game. Clearfield Coach Miles Smith fefused to allow Rausch to send a Jiyvee player into th game. Clearfield officials explained yesterday that teams in their area have not allowed a player to play in both games on the, same night for years. They had assumed.

In correct )v, that Kane recognized the same rule.
