Newspaper Page TextTurnout of lore Fans Anticipated B7 JOE SARGIS United Press International More than 300,000 fans on live different football fronts will take themselves out to the old "bowl" game Thurs day despite a pointed warn ing from odds-makers that most of the contests should wind up in one-sided fashion. Nearly 100,000 the biggest crowd of the day, is expected at Pasadena, Calif., where Iowa is a whopping 18-point choice to trounce California in the Rose Bowl. Randy Duncan, All-America quarterback, heads a Hawkeye team which com piled a 7-1-1 record this sea son while his opposite number is Joe Kapp, who directed the Golden Bears to a 7-3 cam paign. Generally regarded the x "granddaddy" of all New Year's day classics, the Rose Bowl game will be aired by NBC-TV and radio starting at 1:45 p.m. (PST). LSU Heavy Favorite Top-ranked Louisiana State, which was the only major un beaten team in the country with a 10-0 slate, is a top heavy 15-point favorite over Clemson in the Sugar Bowl tussel at New Orleans where a crowd of 80,000 is antici pated. Louisiana's tricky winged Denny Has No Fear Of Facing Ortega Bf LARRY SHAW Portland (UPI) - Portland's 19-year-old Denny Moyer will step into the ring Friday night on the eve of breaking into the "big time." Moyer will fight nationally ranked Gasper Ortega in a televised fight from Madison Square Garden. What does the young man with only 18 professional fights think about his big chance? He's not frightened by the thought of facing Ortega. That's because he sparred with him before Ortega's fight here with current welter weight champion Don Jordan. In those sparring sessions Moyer picked up a lot of con fidence and he firmly be lieves he can whip Ortega. And Moyer's manager, the shrewd Sid Flaherty goes right along with that. "Denny's come a long way since turning pro a year ago last August," Flaherty says. NCS Tips In Dixie Tourney By JOHN GRIFFIN United Pren International The downfall of top-ranked Cincinnati from the unbeaten ranks and the one-point nar row escapes of Kentucky and Kansas State stole the basket ball limelight today from the crowning of six new major tournament champions. Kansas State, Michigan, Perm. State, Louisiana State, Miami of Ohio, and Missis sippi State joined the honor roll of holiday carnival cham pions through victories Tues day night. But Cincinnati's 69-60 loss to North Carolina State in the semi-final round of the Dixie Classic at Raleigh, N.C., was the top topic that had 'em ' buzzing in court circles today along with Kan sas State's 67-66 win over Colorado in the Big Eight tourney finals and Ken tucky's 76-75 squeaker over Illinois in a non-tourney game. National scoring champion Oscar Robertson tallied 29 points in vain for Cincinnati as the Bearcats suffered their first loss in seven games. Tourney host North Carolina State (8-1), ranked No. 6 na tionally, never trailed and led by as much as 13 points with eight minutes left before Cincinnati staged a mild comeback. John Richter led State with 26 points but Cin cinnati Coach George Smith, calling the loss "no disgrace," AUTO PARTS? PADGETT n AUTO PARTS ' 345 North Central STORE HOURS: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday "T" attack is headed by Billy Cannon, the UPI's "Player of the Year," John Robinson and quarterback Warren R a b b. Clemson, which uses an un balanced "T" formation and compiled an 8-2 record this season, relies heaviest on Har vey White for its ground gain ing. The game will be carried on NBC-TV and radio, begin ning at 10:45 a.m. (PST). The men who make the odds claim the Orange Bowl game at Miami, Fla., should be one-sided too, with Okla homa (9-1) a 13-point choice over Syracuse (8-1). Syracuse Coach Ben Schwartzwalder summed up the Sooners per fectly. 4 "Oklahoma does things so well," he said. "And they do them so fast. And so many people do it." Names Same Lineup Oklahoma Coach Bud Wil kinson named virtually the same starting team as he did all season. The only excep tion was sophomore Bob Cor nell, who will start at quarter back in place of David Baker, dropped for failure to meet academic standards. CBS will carry the game on TV and ra dio at 10:45 a.m. (PST). Texas Christian and the U.S. Air Force Academy were expected to participate in the Not Cocky Don't get the idea that Den ny is cocky. He isn't. He re alizes that Ortega is a tough fighter and knows that he'll have to go all out to beat him. Flaherty isn't worried about Moyer "choking up" in the Garden. "Denny's got a lot of talent and with his N experi ence as a pro and his many amateur fights, I think he can handle it," Flaherty asserts. Moyer will go into the fight about five pounds heavier than Ortega. Although the fight is billed as a welter weight match, Moyer is more of a middleweight. He probably will scale be tween 151 ' pounds and 152 pounds. That's what he weighed when he outpointed Johnny Saxton and Tony Du-pas-his last fight Dec. 13. Denny also will be fighting a jinx when he steps into the Garden. All Northwest fight ers who were on the brink of making a name have lost there. Cincinnati pointed to State's rebound edge 46-37, as Robertson bagged only eight as decisive. N. C. State will clash with fourth-ranked Michigan State (6-0) in the Dixie finals to night. Michigan State handed North Carolina its first loss, as jumping Johnny Green scored 20 points and con trolled rebounding. Kentucky, ranked No. 2 nationally, remained unbeat en (10-0) only because a last second 25-foot shot by Illi nois Governor Vaughn rimmed the basket. Illinois almost wiped out a seven point deficit in the last 44 sec onds. Sid Cohen had 23 points for Kentucky and Mannie Jackson 21 or the Illini. Kansas State, ranked No. 3 nationally, followed a 32 point performance " by , six eight Bob Boozer to the Big Eight tourney title but had to hang onto its one-poin lead through the last two minutes. Boozer's long hook shot with 2:01 left gave the Wildcats the lead at 67-66 and proved to be the last score in the game. LAND AT SEATTLE Portland (UPI) The Uni versity of Oregon basketball team was forced to land at Seattle instead of Portland Tuesday night because of fog at the local airport. The team, returning from Oklahoma City, headed south from Seat tle for Eugene by bus. Than 300,000 for Bowl Tilts closest game of the day at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Tex. Texas Christian (8-2) is "only" an eight-point favorite over the Air Force (9-0-1) although a recent snow could make the field soggy and throw the quoted odds out of kilter. A crowd of 75,000 people can look for a duel between speedy Jack Spikes of TCU and hard-charging Steve Ga lios.of the Air Force. Those who can't make it to Dallas Thursday can catch the game on CBS-TV or radio at ap proximately 12:30 p.m. (PST). Prairie View A&M meets Langston, Okla., in the Prai rie View Bowl at Houston, Tex.

Hawkeyes Can Run The odds - makers believe that the speedy Iowa secon dary will be too tough for California.
