NORTH CAROLINA will have two All Americas facing Kansas in Saturday night's game in Allen Field House. On the left is 6-6 forward Doug Moe. Although missing half of last season, Moe averaged 16.8 points per game and was awarded second team All America honors. On the right is 6-4 playmaking guard York Lareese who averaged 15.7 per game last season. Lareese was a third team All America choice last season for the 14th ranked Tar Heels. Both are seniors and All-Atlantic Coast Conference selections.

This prognosticator's success so far this season is 77 per cent.
Starting tonight all Big Eight teams will face busy schedules over the Christmas vacation in addition to the annual pre-season conference tournament in Kansas City.
The Hawkers face Michigan State in Manhattan Friday and should win. But Saturday's opponent, North Carolina will be the best team Kansas will face all season. The KU performance against the Tar Heels should be greatly influenced by the outcome of the Michigan State game. Considering everything, it seems only realistic to pick the visitors in the Saturday game.
In a two game swing to the west, the Jayhawkers will face Brigham Young and San Francisco.
Brigham Young shouldn't pose any problem for KU but San Francisco will be somewhat harder to conquer.
But the Hawkers should take this battle too.
In other games to be played this week, it looks like Oklahoma downing Houston and Texas A. & M. while Oklahoma State beats Houston and loses to A. & M., Iowa State over Washington and Kansas State losing to North Carolina.
Saturday should see Kansas State beating Michigan State, Colorado slaughtering Creighton, Nebraska falling to rated Detroit and Washington turning the tables on Iowa State in their second meeting.
Oklahoma has games against Colorado State and Texas Tech and should win both before the journey.
Colorado faces only Wichita and in the Wheatshockers continue their

pace, they should whip the Buffs. Iowa State plays Marquette and Michigan State and should split this pair, losing to Marquette.
Kansas State should down Colorado State, Nebraska, and Arizona, after losing to Cincinnati. Missouri will also probably be a loser in its game with Kentucky as the conference teams ready for the tournament.
Pirates Edge Yankees, Floyd Stops Ingo in Year's Top Sports Stories
By John Macdonald
Instantaneous actions triggered by reflex judgments resulted in the nation's two top sports stories of 1960.
The year's top sports event took place just two months ago in Forbes Field. The score was tied 9-9 in the ninth inning of the seventh World Series game between the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski was the team's hero after he slapped the second pitch of the bottom half of the ninth inning over the left field fence. The home run gave the Pirates their first world baseball championship since 1925.
In the spring a determined Floyd Patterson entered the boxing ring as a 4-1 underdog against World Heavyweight boxing champion Ingemar Johannson of Sweden.
At the end of the fourth round, the battered Swede was flat on his back and Patterson's hand was being lifted and he was being acknowledged as the new champion and the first man ever to regain the heavyweight crown.
Although the weatherman had painted a near-perfect weather picture for the summer Olympics in Rome the overall showing of the United States' athletes, the No. 3 story, was as dreary as a cloudy day. The Soviet Union, which had dominated the Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif, early in the year, was once again walking away with medal after medal to capture the unofficial team title.
The retirement of two major league veterans dominated the balloting for fourth and fifth place.

Chamberlain, the former KU basketball star, who was the scoring leader of the National Basketball Assn. last season (his first year) announced that he was quitting the professional game because of "rough treatment" which he said was caused by racial prejudice.

Casey Stengel, New York Yankee manager and one of the most successful team pilots in the history of baseball, was retired a few days after the Yankees lost the World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox left fielder, also announced his retirement.
Sixth and seventh place stories concerned the formation of a new professional football league and the expansion of the American Baseball League. The American Football League (AFL) began its first season of play this fall with eight league teams. Baseball's American League expanded to ten teams.
The Minnesota football team grabbed the No. 8 position. The Gophers, who at the start of the season were considered just an average team, ended the season as the country's best team, according to both major wire service polls.
Last year's Rose Bowl game was given the No. 9 position. That story concerned Washington's upset of Wisconsin, the powerful Big Ten favorite.
The performances of John Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain tied for the No. 10 position. Thomas, the Boston University sophomore, set a
