Minneapolis, Apr. 5 U.R)
The Anderson Packers, who
came through gallantly to win
the National Basketball associa
tion's western division playoffs,
faced an even sterner task to
day as they take on the Minne
apolis Lakers and George Mikan
in the first game of a best-of-three
elimination.
The Lakers figure to be the
favorites because not only do
they possess one of the all-lime
greats in Mikan, the NBA s record-breaking
scorer, but they
also have the advantage of play
ing two of the three games on
their home court.
A victory by Minneapolis to
night could mean curtains for the
Packers since they mast return
to the Lakers home grounds
next Saturday after playing at
Anderson Thursday.
The winner of the Minneapolis
Anderson series earns the right
to meet the Syracuse Nationals
in a best-of-seven series for the
NBA championship and a $15,
