Rams meet Forty-Niners Sunday Pr0 ~ File$ Lonbor g feteives Cy Young award

The Los Angeles Flams can only hope that the next bounce taken by the San Francisco Forty Niners is a bad one. It so happens that the Forty Niners absorbed a fearful 45-3 drubbing from the Detroit Lions last week. That should be a good sign for the title-hope-ful Rams but they know better. "The week before our last meeting.” noted Los Angeles' all-pro defensive tackle Merlin Olsen, "they lost to Baltimore 41-7. Remember? They bounce back real good.” That bounce was high enough to carry San Francisco past the astonished Rams 27-24, the only defeat inflicted on Los Angeles to date and the reason the Rams 4-1-2 trail the Baltimore Colts 5-0-2 by a full game in the Coastal Division of the National Football League. A Los Angeles victory would virtually bounce San Francisco out of contention because the Forty Niners already have suffered two losses in seven games. Los Angeles, which leads the NFL in defense against rushing, is an eight-point favorite in the game which will be played in the Bay City. The Colts are favored by three points to remain the league’s only unbeaten team against the Green Bay Packers, Dallas is a 17-point choice over

Atlanta, the St. Louis-Wash-ington contest is rated even. New York is rated three points stronger than Minnesota, Detroit is favored by nine over Chicago, Philadelphia is tabbed by eight over New Orleans and Cleveland-Pittsburgh is off the ’ board because of the question- j able status of Frank Ryan. The Packers (5-1-1) who have come from behind to win their last two games, will be seeking to extend their winning streak over the Colts to six j games. Bart Starr, however, | has not reached his peak form and Bob Brown may have to start at defensive end for Green Bay in place of the injured Lionel Aldridge. Don Meredith, returning after a three-week absence caused by rib injuries, is the probable starting quarterback for the Cowboys (5-2), whose Capitol Division lead has been sliced to one game over Philadelphia 4-3). The Falcons are coming off their first victory of the season and quarterback Randy Johnson will start despite a bruised abdominal mus-

cle.

A passing duel between veteran Sonny Jurgensen, the NFL’s leader, and the Cards’ poised Jim Hart is in store at the nation’s capital. The Cards, a 4-3 after a tough loss to Green Bay, still share first

place in the Century Division with New York and Cleveland. Frank Tarkenton, who has been the catalyst in the Giants’ resurgence, faces his former Viking teammates for the first time in regular season play. The Vikings are undecided whether to start Joe Kapp or Ron Vanderkelen at quarterback.

Ryan suffered a bruised throwing arm against the Giants last week and remains a question mark for the game against the Steelers. Dick Shiner will call signals for the Browns in the event Ryan is sidelined. Pittsburgh will choose between rookie Kent • Nix and veteran Bill Nelson bei fore game time.

mannered Jim Lonborg, the former medical student who became an effective pitcher when he learned to use the brushback pitch, Friday was named the wanner of the 1967 Cy Young Award as pitcher of the year in the American League. Lonborg, who outdueled Dean Chance of the Minnesota Twins on the final day of the season to give the Boston Red Sox their first American League pennant since 1946, was a near unanimous winner as he received 18 votes from the panel of 20 members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The other tw T o votes went to Joe Horlen of the Chicago

record and led the American League with a 2.06 earn run average. Lonborg posted a 22-9 record with a 3.16 era but his feat of clutch pitching down the stretch which gave Boston the Pennant was the reason he won the award. Lonborg’s seven-hitter in the season finale against Minnesota, giving Boston a 5-3 victory and the pennant was the real difference. At 24 Lonborg is the second youngest player to win the honor. Chance w r as the youngest when he did it for the California Angels at age 23 in 1964. Capping his brilliant season, Lonborg beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the second and

on a one-hitter and three- hitter. But the balloting was done before the stall of the World Series and this feat was not a factor in the selection.

rpHEY SAY a flying saucer landed squarely in front of A Miami Beach’s Fontainebleu Hotel recently, and out of it poured a score of little, little men. "What do you fellows want?” quavered a doorman, poised for flight. The leader seemed puzzled by his perturbation. “There’s only one thing we really want.” he beamed. “Little women.” • • * A lazy boss instructed his Girt Friday to write a stiff letter to a customer whose account was four months overdue. He deemed her first two attempts too insulting. "After all,” he explained, “we don’t want to lose his trade permanently. He’s got plenty of dough; just hates to part with any of it.” So she prepared a third draft “This is more like it,” the boss enthused. "He won’t get too angry at this one. Just correct two mistakes in spelling. •Crook’ is speUed with a ‘C’, not a ‘K.’ And 'swine’ does not call for a capital ‘S.’ * • • * Interesting typographical error on the women’s page of a newspaper: ‘The full gowns in the Paris collections are so sheer that virtually every wearer of them will have to have a aiap of some sort underneath them!” • « • UMERiCK LANE: Said a maiden who weighed just one oz, Coming into a room with a floz, *T will jump without fear From the chandelier here For I’m practically sure I will boz.” O 1987, by Bennett Cerf.

North dealer. Both sides vulnerable.

The underlying force behind high-class defensive play is a steady and unfaltering belief that the contract can be defeated. Most of the time this assumption tuna out to be false, but that does not prove that the approach was wrong in the first place. All it means is that what you hoped for did not materialize, which is quite a bit different from giving up at the start on the lazy assumption that

declarer cannot be stopped from making the contract. Take this case, where the opening lead is a club and East wins the jack with the ace. From East’s viewpoint it certainly looks unlikely that his side can take three more tricks. If he adopts a give-up attitude by making a neutral or indifferent return, his expectation will eventually be realized. But if East starts to think in terms of what kind of hand his partner must have to make it possible to defeat the contract, he is bound to come up with the winning line of play. He credits West with the ace of diamonds and a high trump — both of which assumptions are entirely possible on the bidding — and defends accordingly. He returns the nine of diamonds at trick two and declarer is well on his way to defeat. West wins the diamond with the ace and returns a diamond in the hope that the nine was a singleton. Declarer wins the diamond return in dummy and leads the queen of spades, but he is doomed — whether or not he elects to finesse the queen. In either event. West plays a third remnd of diamonds as soon as he gets in with the king of spades, and the end result is that South goes down one.
