KU Pelican, Bend Lava Bear Series To Prove Interesting Although the Oregon A-l prep basketball slate tonight and Sat : urday features a number of inter ' esting pairings, chances are the - matches between the Klamath Un ' ion Pelicans and the Bend Lava ; Bears will draw the most wide- ' suread attention. The word is out that the Bend : quintet, which features a front ' line trio which includes a pair -, of 6-5crs and one lad 6-4, may prove to be the chief threat to Win Or Tie Means Title To Packers LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Green Bay Packers Saturday shoot for the Western Division title and then for the National Football League championship honors they last captured in the distant year of 1944. ; They face the resurgent Los Angeles Rams in Memorial Coli seum in a game that holds the ' key to a crowded picture in the division. Halfback Paul Hornung and his Packer mates can haul down tne division crown with a victory or even a tie. A loss will throw the loop into playoffs involving the Baltimore' Colts. San Francisco i 49ers and the Detroit Lions. A The Philadelphia Eagles al f ready have won the Eastern Con- ference title. 1 Coach Vince Lombardi's visi ; inrs. with a record of 7-4-0, are ' favored by 10 points. ,J i The game will be televised na ',' tionally via CBS, starting at 1:35 p.m. PST. ! Last Saturday Hornung person- i ally wrecked the 49crs with a touchdown and two field goals in a 13-0 victory. ' Ram hopes may already have , been wrecked if all their injured players are as wounded as the . club claims. Officially out are quarterback ,5 Frank Ryan and pass-catching, ?j punting Del Shofner. J Coach Bob Watcrfield loads off with quarterback Bill Wade, 5 whose 66-yard touchdown run was enough to beat the Baltimore I Colts last Sunday, 10-3. i Waterfield said Tom Wilson will j start at fullback for the injured Joe Marconi. Green Bay has a sound team, which was not true when the Rams upset them last month in Die final minute, 33-31. Both .Hor nung and fullback Jim Taylor were hampered that afternoon by injuries. the Pelicans' claim to number one ranking in the state. Tonight coach Dean White and his Whitebirds (3-1) travel to Bend for the opening session with the Lava Bears (4-0). Saturday night the clubs mix it up on the Pels' home court. Both games are slated to start at 8 o'clock following preliminaries featuring the respective Jayvee quintets. In addition to the height and agility boasted by the northern' ers the squad is deep in expert ence. The probable starting unit includes four seniors and one jun ior. Coach Glen Kinney is ex pected to call upon Jack deSully, 6-5; Rex Chambers, 6-5; Jim Hawes, 6-0; Mike Riley, 6-0, and Wally Donahue, 5-8, with Jack Allison, a 6-4 junior, standing by for relief work. White will go with Bruce Brick- ner, Ray Taylor, Gary Patzke, Wally Palmberg and Freddie Biehn. A study of shooting percentages and rebounds for the Pels over their first four games shows the KU quint with a torrid .463 over all shooting average from the field, and a marked advantage in the rebound department. In the weekend battles with Bend these figures will be put to the acid test. Patzke's .61)2 from the field is tops for the KU shooters but his 44 rebounds puts him second be hind Brickner who has pulled down 49 to date. Brickner is scor ing at a .478 clip. Palmberg is averaging .511 while Taylor claims a .433. Biehn has hit 16 of 43 tries from the floor for a .372. Taylor is the squad's number three reboundcr with 31. The team has totaled 155 backboard grabs while allowing the enemy only 97. Opponents have connected on 74 of 183 from the field (or an average of .404.

(AP) Paul (Bear) Bryant says his Alabama Crimson Tide should be a touch down underdog for Saturday's Bluebonnet Bowl game with the Texas Longhorns. Bryant and his 47-man squad arrived Thursday to find them selves one-point favorites, the same point spread posted by odds makers the day the two teams were selected tor the second an nual Bluebonnet classic. The Texas team was to fly to Houston after a final workout in Austin, arriving just in time for tonight's bonfire rally honoring the two teams. Bryant said. "I think Texas has more speed then we do. I think thev are a little better not a whole lot but about a touchdown. Bryant was reminded he made a similar statement before Ala- bama ended its regular season with a 3-0 victory over Auburn. "1 sure did, but that was the greatest game I've ever seen as far as team effort is concerned. he replied. Alabama finished with an 8-1-1 record, losing only to Tennessee after being tied 6-6 by Tulane. Bryant described Coach Darrell Royal's Texas team as "versatile and a team with a good kicking game." 'We dont have good enough speed for a good kicking game, he said. "I got a lot on statistics fumbles, pass interceptions, and the like. Statistically, Alabama and Texas are very similar, but if you took away two of our games Furman (51-0) and Tampa (34-6) I'd sav Texas is a little better." Only a few hundred tickets for the 70,000-seat Rice University Stadium had not been sold early today,- and Bluebonnet officials prepared to place standing-room- only tickets on sale. They turned down suggestions bleachers be placed on the wide concourse sur rounding the double-decked stadi um's lower stands. The risks involved in bleach ers are too great," said W. A. (Bill) Smith, president of the Greater Houston Bowl Association. 'Besides, we know we have a sellout, and the concourse gives plenty of room for standing.'

(AP-A get-tough policy by Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach may be pay ing dividends. The Celtics, defending National Basketball Association champions. had lost two in a row and five of seven when Auerbach called club meeting and laid down the law. Then, before Thursday night's meeting with Syracuse, he called another closed door session with the team. We have been hustling in spurts, but not all the way," snapped Auerbach. "That will be I changed from now on." Result: The hard-running Ccl-j tics put together a 37-point burst in the third period that overcame Syracuse halttime lead and pointed Boston toward a 115-105 victory. The decision moved tlie Celtics to within a half game of Eastern Division leader Philadelphia. n.. ....J i:M c...:tl. n nm .....J Ducks' quarterback totaling 1.140; .' , . , ',, mt im. proved player of the season, and yards on offense during the 7-2-1 season just ended.
