The Southern Conference championship was decided by the winner of the Virginia Tech VMI game in Roanoke. in the country, was rated a six-point favorite over eighth ranked Illinois in their East Lansing battle for the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl trip. It was - one of the biggest games in the careers of the op posing coaches Pete Elliott and Duffy Daugherty. For Elliott, a win would mark the end of one of the toughest comebacks in football history. For the past two seasons, Illi nois has been at the bottom of the Big Ten and it's been an extremely frustrating time for Elliott. A win Thursday could erase the bad memories. A win for Michigan State would give Daugherty his first Big Ten title and would reaf firm the faith of his backers who gave him a five-year con tract earlier this season when the Spartans had floundered.

Detroit, Green Bay Contend By VITO STELLINO DETROIT (UPD-The Green Bay Packers returned to the site of their only defeat of their cel ebrated 1962 season today to meet the Detroit Lions in the final Thanksgiving Day clash between the two keen rivals. The Packers, who came in here a year ago with a 11-0 rec ord enroute to their second straight National Football League championship and their third consecutive Western Divi sion crown, are 9-2 this time. But both losses have been at the hands of the Chicago Bears, who lead the Western Division with a 9-1-1 record. Hard To Win Coach Vince Lombardi's team had to win the nationally tele vised game to remain in con tention for the title. The Packers, who were man handled here 26-14 a year ago by the fired-up Lions, were heavy favorites to avenge that defeat. The Packers won the first meet ing in Green Bay this season, 31-10. Detroit had only a 4-7 record and was missing at least three of the defensive starters who blitzed the Packers a year ago. Two of the injured starters, i All-Pro standouts Yale Lary and Dick (Night Train) Lane j hoped to return to the lineup j even though they were still not ' 100 per cent. t I'M HAYS NOMINATED DETROIT (UPI) - Hayes Jones was nominated Wednes day by the Michigan AAU as a candidate (or the James E, Sul livan Award.

View Farm's Raise A Native. Raise A Native easily was the best juvenile of the year in horse racing early this year. He had won all four of his races and by anywhere from two to eight lengths. Then he was injured and per manently sidelined with a bow ed tendon in August. oince men mere nave been nine major races for two-year-olds and nine different win ners. Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, re tired dean of U. S. horse train ers, left no doubt about how he felt. Had Great Promise "There's just no telling how good Raise A Native was." he said. "He had everything and gave every indication of beine able to run a distance. As far as he went he comoletelv nut- classed the rest of the two-year- There is no question but wnai naise A Native, now munching blue grass and gurg ling uiai gooa speneuirm water at Leslie Combs' farm near Lex ington, Ky., was an exciting con. In his first out, a three fur long race at Hialeah last Feb ruary, he scampered home by six lengths. In a five furlnns al lowance at Aqueduct he topped by eight lengths, breaking the track record. In the juvenile, at the same distance, he won by two and one-half, equalling his own track record. And in the great American at Aaueduct he won by two lenglhs handily while slashing four-fifths of a second from the track record. Of the nine other winners in juvenile events it was Mr. Brick in the Sapling, Traffic in the Hopeful, Golden Ruler in the Ar lington - Washington Futurity, Perns in the Del Mar Futurity, Bupers in the Aqueduct Futurity Chieftain and Dunfce in the two divisions of the Cowdin, Roman Brother in the Champagne and Hurry To Market in the Gar den State Stakes. Cases Can Be Made Cases can be made for the championship calibre of Hurry To Market, Golden Ruler, Chief tain and Roman Brother. Hurry To Market copped the Garden Slate, billed for the two-year-old championship be cause it is over the mile and one-sixteenth distance around two turns with equal weights. Hurry To Market won it as well as the week earlier mile trial. Golden Ruler took the world's richest race, the Arlington Washington Futurity but in the Breeders Futurity was out of the money. Chieftain won a di vision of the seven furlong Cow din and was second in the Arlington-Washington. Roman Brother, Raise A Na tive's stablcmate, won the mile Champagne and was a strong second in the Garden State and the trial. So it carries weight when Bur- ley Parke, who trained them both for Lou Wolfson, summed up: "Raise A Native could carry Roman Brother on his back and still beat him." TRANSIT BENEFITS TORONTO, Ont.
