You can't keep a Rood team

proved in a wild weekend of holi
day cage tournaments along the
coast.
The Bruins and Oregon State
were supposed to pick up all the
marbles this year, but promptly
went out and lost a few in the
early going. They bounced back
to the top of the Coast cage heap
Saturday thanks to the slick work
of guards Walt Hazzard and Terry
Baker.
Hazzard is the guy who makes
the Bruins fast break hum and
it was operating throughout the
Los Angeles Classic. UCLA topped
Colorado State 68-62 in Saturday

NEW YORK cUPH-The Green
Bay Packers are champs again
and a good bet to achieve the
greatest dynasty in professional
football history by w inning a rec
ord third consecutive National
League crown in 1963.
They are young: they are deep
in manpower: thev have an
domitable college-type spirit, and
they are driven by a brilliant and
dedicated perfectionist in coach
Vince Lombardi.
The consensus of best NFL
brains following the Packers' 16-7
victory over the New York Giants
in the brutally cold and windy
weather that attended Sunday's
championship game was "Who's
going to stop them from becom
ing the Yankees of pro football?'
No learn ever has won a divi
sion title in the NFL four years
in a row nor won the league
championship three straight sea
sons since the initiation of the
playoff game in 1933.
Someone asked Lombardi if he
thought it would be tough for the
Packers to attain those goals next
season.
"It can't be any tougher than
it was this season. I'll tell you."
he smiled. "This was a long sea
son." Good or Better
All the key players who earned
a record $3,888 winning share by
beating the Giants (or the second
year in a row should be as good,
if not heller, next season.
And if Paul Hornung can slay
around and play a whole season
ike he did Sunday, this could be
the greatest team of all time.
The victory gave Green Bay a
record eighth NFL championship.
The Packers' predecessors won
three titles during the gaslight
era of the league and captured
playoff championships in 1936,
1939, 1944 and last season.

Eight of the nation's finest, in
cluding three schools with unbeat
en records, will provide football
lans with a natural climax lo the
college season and a thrilling
start lo the new year when they
tangle in four bowl games Tues
day.
All four contests will be tele
vised nationally, assuring view
ers a special nonaay treat since
the cicht competing teams occu

totaling about 335,000 persons in

ntersectional duel being billed as
the "fame of the year," in which
national champion Southern Cali

goals and fullback Jim Taylor
boiled 7 yards lo a touchdown
before a sellout crowd of 64.8U2
at Yankee Stadium. Kramer's
kicks measured 26. 29 and 30
yards.
Essentially, the difference in the
teams was that the Packers did
everything they had to do on the
Irozen-hard windswept turf.
Fail on Offense
The Giants' defense was excel
lent, but their attack was sadly
deficient under the adverse wea
thcr conditions, especially the
passing of Y. A. Tittle.
Grumbled linebacker Sam Huff
of the Giants after the came:
"They can be beaten, but now
when you score only one touch
down in a championship game.'
It was small consolation to the
Giant players that Sunday's score
was far closer than the 37-0 count
by which they were routed in
Green Bay a year ago. Their
$4,166 shares, an all-time high for
losers, should offer some solace,
however.
"The wind ruined the passing
and the kicking game," Lombardi
agreed. "But both teams had to
play in the same w ind and on the
same field."
A cold front dropped the tem
perature to 17 degrees during the
game, although this was warm
compared with the weather in
which the Packers practiced dur
ing the past two weeks. Even
more disruptive was the gusty
wind which reached 30 miles an
hour and blew long passes, espe
cially Tittle's, off target.

East Wins 25-19;
Record A!!Even
SAN FRANCISCO (UPP-T h e
East and West were all even and
ready to starl all over again after
playing 38 Shrine Games in San
Francisco.
A talented East squad, led by
Daryle Lamonica of Notre Dame,
downed the West 25-19 Saturday
in a battle of aerial bullets that
was not decided until the final 87
seconds.
The final touchdown of the day,
two yard run by Larry Fergu
son of Iowa, was the only score
made on the ground. It gave the
East 435 points for the 38 games
the exact number of points the
38 west squads have scored.
The West has a slight margin
in wins at this Shrine classic with
wins to 16 for the East and
four ties.
But Saturday the East had a
bit the best of it.
Lamonica broke a Shrine Game
record in the first half with three
touchdown passes. But Sonny
