RECORD-EAGLE, TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1960 11 Giants, Eagles in East Showdown; Lions Meet Bears Warriors and Royals Win Close Games (By UPI) Wilt Chamberlain an3 Oscar Robertson, two men who have won basketball reputations for their flashy tactics on the court, are finding that at times it's the simple things that win games. Chamberlain, th'i goat of Philadelphia's one-point loss two days ago when he missed IS foul shots, connected on two free throws late in Friday night's contest to help the Warriors to a 101-99 victory over the New York Knickerbockers. Robrrtson tossed in a foul shot with 24 seconds remaining in the fourth quarte- to enable the Cincinnati Royals to take the St. Louis Hawks into overtime, and then the big hit on three charity tosses as time ran out in the extra session, enabling the Royals to edge St. Louies, 129-128.

The lead change! hands 13 times in the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia-New York game and was tied on six other occasions. After Chamberlain had given the Warriors a one-point lead with his free throws, player-Coach Carl Braun tied it at 99-99 for the Knicks on a foul shot. However, veteran Joe Graboski threw in a 30.foot set shot with one second remaining to break a four-gams losing streak for Philadelphia. Chamberlain was the game's leading scorsr with 34 points. Cincinnati and St.

Louis also played it close to the wire in the final period, with the lead changing hands 12 times. The contest was marred by two second-quarter fights, one involving Wayne Embry nnd Bob Pettitt and the other between Phil Jcrdon and Woody Saiildsherr'y. Robertson scored 36 points for the Royals and Cliff Hagan also had 36 for the Hawks. The crowd of 7,363 at Cincinnati brought the Royals' home attendance for nine games this season to 62.202, surpassing the 61,094 they drew during the entire 195960 season. Stiltons Bay Rolls, Wins Over Lelanrl, 68-44 Pultons Bay had too many guns for the Leland Comets in the open- ins basketball game for both teams last night and tha former raced to an easy 68-44 win.

Buttons Bay counted five points in iha first 10 seconds of the game an1 never wprp headed, building up a 22-6 load the end the first quarter. Flay was more even in the second period with the winners posting a 15-14 edge to grab a 37-20 edge at the intermission. A total of 34 points swished through hoops in the third period, the Kays asain having a slight, 18-16 rdse and they continued the fast pace in the final period with a 13-8 innrsin. High scorers for the winners last nieht were Ron Collins with 10 points. Tom Yoder with 15 and Louis Herman with 13.

Conerly May Be Doubtful Starter The New York Giants' defense, rated best in the National Football league, will have to be at its peak against Norm Van Brocklin and the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday in a showdown game for the eastern division lead. With "Old Bones" Charlie Conerly once again hobbled by injuries, it will be up to the defense to keep the Giants in the ball game, just at it has in a few earlier games this year and numerous times during the four previous seasons when New York won three division titles. Despite Conerly's doubtful status, the Giants will be playing in their home park before approximately 65,000 fans and that made them favorites over the division- leading Eagles. In the western division, the Green Bay Packers were picked by 13 points to beat the Los Angeles Rams at Milwaukee and move into a first place tie with the idle Baltimore Colts (6-2).

The Cleveland Browns, a close third in the eastern division behind the Eagles and Giants, were favored by 5 over the Steelers at Pittsburgh; the Chicago Bears were picked by at home against the Detroit Lions; the San Francisco Forty-Niners were over the winless Cowboys at Dallas; and the visiting St. Louis Cardinals were over the Washington Redskins. Philadelphia undoubtedly will miss fullback Clarence Peaks, who broke his leg last Sunday against the Redskins. His place will be taken by Ted Dean, a rookie who has played impressively. There should be nothing wrong with the Eagles' passing attack, however.

Van Brocklin is making his 12th N. F. L. season one of his best. With three standout pass receivers in Tommy McDonald, Bobby Walston and Pete Retzlaff, "The Dutchman" has thrown for 16 touchdowns.

McDonald has caught 8 of these. The Giants' big strategy problem is in how to put the rush on Van Brocklin. Obviously, one way to stop Van Brocklin's passes would be to clobber him before he can get them away. Still, by rushing too consistently, the Giants realize they would be leaving themselves vulnerable to the clever Van Brocklin's screen passes and trap plays. Conerly limped week-long from strained knee ligaments sustained in last Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

He has missed practice and Coach Jim Lee Howell moans that he can't possible be "sharp" for Sunday--if he plays. It is recalled, however, that the 39-year old quarterback similarly missed all practice prior to the Browns game two weeks ago and still managed to guide tne Giants to victory. If he can't make it, hot- and-cold George Shaw will replace him. Cleveland has not looked too Cood in losing to the Giants and squeaking past the Cards, 28-27, during the past two weeks. Coach Paul Brown is not at all happy about excessive fumbling, particularly by halfback star Bobby Mitchell.

If Sunday's game at Pittsburgh is played on a cold muddy field, he probably will use rookie Prentice Gautt in Mitchell's spot. At Milwaukee, the Packers play their last "home" game of the season before winding up with four on the road. Defensive back Jesse Whittenton is back after an injury. Halfback Paul Hornung. who has scored 100 points, will be out to add to that total in his bid to overtake Don Hutson's N.F.L.

Joint Baseball Meet Recessed Until Tuesday NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (UPI) -Baseball Commissioner Ford Friek and Los Angeles Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley appeared to lie the key men today in the American League's decision to postpone final expansion plans for 1961 until still another meeting next Tuesday. Faced with the problem of naming an owner for the new Los Angeles franchise, completion of a draft for stocking both the Los Angeles and Washington clubs and the drawing up of a 10-team 162-game schedule before Nov. 28, the A.L. club owners heard i Just one bi'd for the proposed west coast team yesterday and then decided to adjourn until Nov.

22. It was officially announced -by league President Joe Cronin -following a second all-day session that the postponement was necessary "to give ourselves more time to study the Los Angeles situation. We have received a number of applications for the franchise and we want to study them between now and next Tuesday," explained Cronin. However, it was learned that he- cause of Frick's stand regarding some sort of indemnification to O'Malley for invasion of the Los Angeles territory, the A.L. had no other choice but to adjourn until a ruling both favorable to Frick and O'Malley can be achieved.

This was based on the fact that Del Webb, co-owner of the Yankees and chairman of the American League expansion committee, left for Los Angeles late yesterday, apparently to confer with O'Malley, although no league official cared to put it that way. Between yesterday's day and night sessions, Cronin and club- owners Cal Griffith of the Senators, Dan Topping of the Yankees and John Fetzer of the Tigers met with Frick. Cronin said that one of ths topics discussed with the commissioner had to do "with American League's area of responsibility to the Dodgers in Los Angeles." "We had a very- agreeable session with the commissioner," Cronin said. "We assured him we would be glad to sit down with O'Malley and talk over matters pertaining to an American League club playing in the Coliseum."

Coach George Wilson's Detroit Lions hope to "get even" in the standings for the season at the expense of one of their all-time rivals Sunday in Chicago's Wrig- ey Field. The Lions have won two in a row over San Francisco (24-0) and Los Angeles (12-10) but ex-1 pect to find the going mighty rough against Coach George Halas' Windy City club. Detroit is 3-4 to date, while the Bears sport a 3-4-1 record after eight games. In twenty-four previous Lion- Bear meetings in Chicago, in a series that dates back to 1934, the Lions have managed winning efforts on the road only six times.

Wilson's Lions have shown real signs of team strength in the past few weeks, winning three of four. A sturdy defensive team is operating effectively again, as witness the shutout against San Francisco and the ten points allowed the Rams. Offensively, quarterback Jim Ninowski has proven himself a solid performer in his first real chance at NFL play and he has had great running support from sophomore fullback Nick Pietro- sante and former Wisconsin star Dan Lewis. Pietrosante's consistency has been the big factor as he has continued to grind out important yardage in each of the last four games. The former Notre Dame star has scored in each of the last three games and is carrying a 5.5 rushing average on 72 tries for 393 yards.

Lewis has gained 304 in 4G attempts for a G.G average. Last Sunday the Bears dropped a 24-20 decision to the Baltimore Colts on a last-minute pass from John Unitas to halfback Lenny Moore. It was the second straight loss and the third week without a victory for the Halasmen. A 25-7 San Francisco loss and a 24-24 Ram tie preceded the Colt skirmish. Wilson has indicat that he will string along with the same lineups that have been working effectively in recent weeks, using Gail Cogdill and Jim Gibbons at ends, OHie Spencer and Willie McClung at tackles, Harley Sewell and John Gordy at Bob Scholtz at center, Ninowski at LOS ANGELES, Nov.

19 (UPI) -Eder Jofre of Brazil, newly-crowned bantamweight champion of the world after his knockout of Eloy Sanchez of Mexico, today was anxious to meet Europe's title claimant, Alphonse Halimi, for the undisputed crown. The handsome, 24-year-old 118- pounder who has never been beaten as a professional, won the championship in 1 minute, 30 seconds of the sixth round last night over the game Mexican. He dropped Sanchez for the full count with a short, solid right to the jaw. The end came after Jofre paved the way with a fifth round knockdown, for a count of eight, in a flurry of punches that he thought should have stopped his swarming opponent for keeps. But Sanchez arose from that knockdown and un leasheda body attack in the final minuter, of the fifth and early in the sixth had Jofre backing away and bleeding from the nose.

But the Brazilian never lost his composure as he let bis Mexican opponent spend his energy. The straight right in the sixth traveled little more than a foot. It landed flush on the side of the face. Sanchez dropped for the full count and Jofre gained Brazil's first world championship. He is recognized, as the king of the bantamweights by the National Boxing Association (NBA) of the United States, in Mexico and South America.
