QB open spot for Packers GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Deflecting questions about an unsettled quarterback situation, Green Bay Packers Coach Forrest Gregg says devising a scheme to defeat the Indianpolis Colts is first in his mind. “I really haven’t thought about it at all,” Gregg said Tuesday when asked about the status of battered veteran signalcaller Lynn Dickey, who just turned 36. ‘‘Let’s get the game plan ready, then we’ll talk about personnel,” he added. “I don’t know what the situation with Lynn is right now.” Dickey, who started Monday night against Chicago, left the game before halftime with a leg injury. Under heavy pressure, Dickey threw three interceptions, which had a lot to do with the Bears’23-7 victory. Earlier this season, Dickey benched himself before the St. Louis game, citing a lack of motivation. Second-year man Randy Wright, who started against the Cardinals, replaced Dickey Monday night but also was ineffective against a pressing Bears defense. Wright completed nine of 22 passes for 179 yards against Chicago, while throwing an interception. Veteran Jim Zorn, a free agent signed this season by the Packers, came in at the end of Chicago game, completing one of two passes. He was sacked for a safety. “I was sort of trying to get something going,” Gregg said. “We had to get Jim in the ball game. We weren’t doing anything otherwise.” Chicago defenders pressured Green Bay quarterbacks all night, leading to four sacks and four interceptions. “We pretty much got handled up front,” Gregg said. Tuesday was a day off for the Packers, 34 after losing to the undefeated Bears, but today “we’ll start right in,” Gregg said. The Packers are in fourth place in the National Football Conference’s Central Division; the Bears are in first. After meeting the 2-5 Colts on Sunday, the Packers will have to get ready for the Bears again. The two teams are scheduled to play Nov. 3 in Green Bay. Gregg wasn’t about to call it quits. And he threw out a few comments that could make the next Bears-Packers matchup interesting.

Schlichter might sign on with CFL

TORONTO (AP) Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Art Schlichter, whose National Football League career was tarnished by a gambling scandal, has been approached by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. “Winnipeg did contact Art last night,” Gilman Kirk, one of Schlichter’s business advisers, said Tuesday from Columbus, Ohio. Winnipeg told the former Ohio State star it “was interested” and wanted to discuss the situation further, Kirk said. “I think they’ll consider possibly bringing him in to have a look at him and possibly sign him for next year,” Kirk said. The Bombers apparently have put Schlichter on their protected list, but CFL officials and teams routinely refuse to disclose names on these lists. A survey of the nine CFL teams revealed that Schlichter was a recent addition to one list. Every team except Winnipeg denied Schlichter was on its list. Schlichter, 25, was waived Oct. 7 by the Colts. Kirk said he has been contacted by four NFL teams since then, but “there’s really in my mind a significant value at looking at Canada. “I think Art has some assets that could

Pacers cut Brown and Banks

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indiana Pacers have waived forward James Banks, swingman Tony Brown and guard Dwight Anderson. The National Basketball Association team announced the cuts Tuesday. Banks, 6-feet-8, from the University of Georgia, was a third-round draft pick by Philadelphia in 1984 and was acquired by the Pacers as a free agent. The 6-4 Anderson, also a free agent, was a second-round draft pick by Washington in 1982 and played three seasons in the Continental Basketball Association. Anderson played college basketball at Kentucky and Southern California. Brown, 6-6, was a fourth-round draft pick of the New Jersey Nets in 1982. He made his NBA debut last season, signing with the Pacers as a free agent after sitting out the 1983-84 season while working on his degree at the University of Arkansas. Brown signed with Indiana after first earning a shot in a free agent tryout session held by the Pacers. He scored in double figures 21 times and was a starter in the club’s first 15 games, averaging 6.6 points and 3.5 rebounds last season and

'The Refrigerator' Perry becomes folk hero to Bears' fans

CHICAGO (AP) - Being a 225-pound football player, George Cumby knows all about refrigerators. Never before had he been asked to tackle one. Cumby, who plays for the Green Bay Packers, drew that dubious task Monday night when, in three goal-line situations, he faced off with 320-pound William “The Refrigerator” Perry of the Chicago Bears. It was no contest. Perry, used n short-yardage situations as a blocking back, obliterated Cumby twice on scoring runs by Walter Payton and ran over Cumby while carrying the ball himself for another score as the unbeaten Bears won 23-7. “Usually, when two bodies hit, there’s an impact point,” Chicago Coach Mike Ditka said. “But there wasn’t this time. Perry was like an earth-mover.” “The first time, I figured I’d take a side,” Cumby said. “It didn’t matter which, I guess, because one is as big as another.” Cumby wound up five yards deep in the

make him a good quarterback up there. ” “I’ve always enjoyed watching the CFL,” Schlichter said in a recent interview. “It’s kind of the style of play I’m accustomed to. You need an agile quarterback, one who can throw and run. ” The Bombers have a talented quarterbacking tandem in Tom Clements and John Hufnagel. But Clements, 32, is an 11year CFL veteran who is about to complete a law degree at the University of Notre Dame. And Hufnagel, 34, is a 13-year veteran. The Colts selected Schlichter on the first round of the 1982 draft. He played in three games during the strike-shortened, ninegame 1982 season as a backup to rookie Mike Pagel, a fourth-round draft pick. A year later, Schlichter acknowledged placing bets on at least 10 NFL games during the 1982 season and on other pro sports. He was suspended for a year by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. Reinstated in 1984, Schlichter started the final five games of the season, all losses. Colts Coach Rod Dowhower named Schlichter his starting quarterback this year, but after a 45-3 loss to Pittsburgh Steelers in the opening game Schlichter was replaced.

end zone. “The second time, I hit him flush,” Cumby said. "That didn’t work either.” In playing the unwilling patsy to Perry, Cumby helped create a folk hero for Chicago fans already ecstatic over the Bears’ 7-0 start. Consider this: Bear fans actually cheered when Payton, the NFL’s career rushing leader, was tackled short of the end zone in the second period, because it meant that Perry would enter the game. The biggest roar of the night went up when, instead of blocking, Perry took a handoff from quarterback Jim McMahon and barreled into the end zone. “I didn’t think I dove in. I thought I was stepping on people,” Perry said. As a two-way player in high school at Aiken, S.C., he scored touchdowns on offense and defense while playing “a little fullback every now and then.” He hadn’t scored again until Monday night. Perry, possessor of a 22-inch neck, 51inch chest, 46-inch waist and 34-inch

thighs, picked up his nickname at Clemson, where he was an All-American nose guard. A teammate hung the tag on him after watching him turn sideways in order to get into an elevator. It was a small elevator, Perry said. Ditka earned a reputation as a devastating blocker in his years as a tight end for the Bears, and it didn’t take him long to figure Perry could be one as well. “We had it in the game plan for Washington (four weeks earlier) and I talked about it with my staff,” Ditka said of the goal-line play. “We figured that 100 years from now, nobody was going to care, so why not put it in. “His movement is excellent, he’s done everything we’ve asked of him,” Ditka said. “I don’t know that it’s a bad idea. There aren’t a lot of 320-pounders who can move and accelerate, which William can. “But, I didn’t plan on making him a national hero.”
