By SANDY PADWE
UPI Sports Writer
The football pressure points
this Thanksgiving Day were in
East Lansing, Mich., Durham,
N. C, and Roanoke, Va., where
the Rose Bowl bid and con
ference championships are the
top prizes. ,
Michigan State, ranked third-Dra is Nominated

This is one of the oldest of
rivalries with Duke leading the
series, 26-20-3.
The Southern Conference
championship was decided by

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.
North Carolina and Duke bat

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.

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."
