Lions Favored
To Capture
Divisional Title
NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (JP)—Al
though they scraped it a little
thin last week, the champion De
troit Lions were heayily favored
to whip the Giants in New York
Sunday and win their second
straight Western Division title in
the National Football League.
The NFL's regular season
winds up Sunday. The Lions (9-
2) are a full game ahead of the
runnerup San Francisco 49ers (8-
3) and if they win it will be all
over except for the league cham-:
pionship with the Cleveland
Browns in Detroit Dec. 27.
A Detroit loss and a San Fran
cisco victory over Baltimore will
put the teams in a tie and force
a playoff the following week in
San Francisco.
The Lions just squeezed by the
Chicago Bears, 13-7, last Sunday
for their fifth straight triumph.
This will be their first meeting of
the year with the Giants. The
New Yorkers were humbled, 62-
14, by the unbeaten Browns a
week ago.
Kyle Rote, the spark of the Gi
ants' attack, missed the Cleve
land contest but he will be ready
to go against the Lions.• President
Jack Mara of the Giants isn't con
ceding to Detroit, either. He re
calls-that the Giants were, thump
ed, 63-7, by Pittsburgh a year
ago and then came back the next
week to upset Cleveland.
The 49ers have .won three in a
row while Baltimore has drOpped
its last six games. The Californi
ans beat the Colts in Baltimore
Nov. 29. Sunday's game will - be •
played in San Francisco.
The Los Angeles Rams (7-3-1),
who still . hope to grab second
pTh.ce, entertain Green Bay (2-8-1)
on Saturday. 'The Rams won the
first engagement, 28-20.
Meanwhile, the Browns, who
clinched the Eastern crown
weeks ago, will aim to finish up
an all-winning season at Phila

Last year a survey of leading colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette.
This year another far more extensive
and -comprehensive survey—supervised
by college Professors and based on more
than 31,000 actual student interviews—
shows that Luckies lead again• over all
other brands, regular or king size... and
by a wide margin! The No. 1 reason:
Luckies taste better.

olan Levi
Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste, and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better—first, because L.S./M.F.T.—
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And
second, Luckies are made better to taste
better. So, Be Happy—Go Lucky!

Gavilan Named
/953 Kingman
Kid
Top
NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (W)—Welterweight champion Kid Gavilaa
was voted the Edward 3. Neil Memorial Plaque as "Fighter of the
year" for 1953 today by the Boxing Writers Association.
Gavilan will receive the Neil Award, Thursday, Jan. 14 at the
association's annual dinner. The 27-year-old Havana "Keed" suc-
cessfully defended his crown three
times during the year defeating
Chuck Davey, Carmen Basilio,
and Johnny Bratton. He turned in
outstanding performances while
knocking out Davey and batter
ing Bratton.
The Neil Plaque, presented an
nually to the fighter of the year
and the man who did the most
for the sport during the year, is
named in memory of the former
Associated Press boxing writer
who was killed in 1938 while serv
ing as a war correspondent in
Spain. Gavilan became the first
foreigner to win it.
Gavilan, given a unanimous bal
lot by the 44 voting members, suc
ceeds Rocky Marciano, the 1952
winner. Lightweight champion
Jimmy Carter and middleweight
king Bobo Olson also were con
sidered.
The flashy Cuban, known to the
nation's television audiences for
his bolo punch and more potent
left hook, lost only one fight in
1953, an upset defeat by Danny
(Bang Bang) Womber at Syracuse,
May 2.
After his one-sided victory over
I • ,
a
9
''' Of •
Bratton at Chicago, Nov. 13, he
was ready to give up the welter
class to take his chances with
Olson in a bid for a second title.
He may defend the 147-pound
crown against Basilio before he
moves up among the 160-pounders.
Gavilan won the title by whip
ping Bratton, then the National
Boxing Association champ, May
18, 1951.. He has defended against
Billy Graham twi c e, Bobby
Dykes, Gil Turner, Davey, 13 asil
io, and Bratton. Until the Womber
upset, he hadn't lost a scrap since
1950.
The Neil Plaque, one of the
most prized awards in boxing,
was first presented in 1938 when
Jack Dempsey was the winner.
Among the more illustrious for
mer winners are Joe Louis, Henry
Armstrong, Benny Leonard, Billy
Conn, and Ray Robinson.
Gavilan's record shows 113 pro
bouts starting in 1943. He has won
96, lost 13 and drawn four times.
He has knocked out 27 opponents
and never has been KO'd.
