Referee Knocked Out In Freak Accident St. Louis, Nov. 17 —(UP) — Pat Kennedy, chief referee of the Basketball Association of America, fell unconscious alter a freak accident during the St. Louis-Boston Celtics game last night. Kennedy was hit in the mouth by the ball when Bomber Don Putman threw it into the court from out of bounds. He suffered shock when his whistle jammed against his false teeth, which loosened and struck his palate. He was carried from the floor, but was able to walk after the game. 0 0 Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) 0 — 0

New York, Nov. 17 — (UP) — The feuding Green Bay Rpckers have buried the hatchet with, not in, their Indian Jack Jacobs and the club is starting to really roll as it approaches its game with the New York Giants. The Packers, according to scouts, haven’t been blocking for the creek quarterback. But they did in losing a 7-6 thriller to the Chicago Bears last Sunday. Which makes ' six-by-six Steve Owen, the Giant [coach, think he’ll have more trouble with Jacobs than Oklahoma university did in getting him originally. Owen is a native of those southwestern oil parts and he vividly recalls the time that Tom Stidham, then coach at Oklahoma, went to Jacobs' Muckogee home to get the high school star to play fdr him. “Stidham is a Creek Indian and so is Jacobs,” Stout Steve recalled. “Well, Tom went to the local library and polished up on his Creek until he had it letter perfect. “Then he Went to the Jacobs’ home and. talking in his excellent Creek, started to sell Jack on the value of getting an education in his own state and among his own friends. You know, the old routine. “Well, they held a long parley, all in the Creek tongue, and gabbled until Stidham was certain that he had sold Jacobs a bill of goods," Owen continued. “Old Tom was feeling pretty good when he sat back and gave the floor to Jacobs. And all the kid said — in perfect English — was: “I’ve got a better offer from Southern California.’" Stout Steve roared in laughter at his own story, shaking all over like a department store Santa Claus.. He stopped for breath and somebody asked how come, then, that Stidham finally got Jacobs to go to Oklahoma. “Why, that's easy,” Steve said.

“He just stopped talking Creek and started talking turkey.” Jack Mara, owner of the Giant team which is having its second successive poor year with only two wins in eight starts, sobered suddenly. “What amazes me,” exclaimed Mara, is how we can laugh when we are having such a poor season." The king-sized Owen looked at him reproachfully and replied: “It seems to me’that you can't distinguish mirth and hysterical laughter." Owen was only kidding. An alltime tackle in his playing days, Steve hasn’t given up on a team which lacks defensive strength and is weighted down with rookies stITl trying to find themselves. To help his defense he is shifting Tex Coulter, the tall Texan who was an all-America end at Army, to center. “Kids going into pro ball today need five or six games to get their feet on the ground.” Owen explained. “And when they make a mistake, the other team hangs it up on the scoreboard. The woods are full of good players but these days you need great ones.” He is convinced that Charley Conerly, former Mississippi passing ace. fits in the latter category. "Conerly is head and shoulders above Sammy Baugh end Tommy Thompson when they broke into the league,” he insisted.
