Cardinals And Giants Meet In NFL Feature * By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Charley Johnson, the St. Louis Cardinals’ bright young engineer, tests his football know-how against the experienced old New York Giants Sunday in something of a “truth or consequences” showdown. It’s a “must-win” contest for both clubs, determining which will go on to challenge the Cleveland Browns for the Eastern Division leadership in the National Football League. The champion Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, tied for the Western Division lead with 6-1 records, each take on a toughie this weekend. The Packers play the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2-1) at Milwaukee while the Bears travel to Baltimore to meet the Colts (3-4). Cleveland (6-1) faces the softest touch of the five leading contenders, playing the Eagles (2-4-1) at Philadelphia. In Sunday’s three other games, the Minnesota Vikings (2-5) are at home against the Los Angeles Rams (2-5); the Detroit Lions (3-4) meet the San Francisco Forty Niners (1-6) on the West Coast, and the Dallas Cowboys entertain the Washington Redskins (2-5). Here is the “line” on these games: New York 4% over St. Louis; Green Bay 10% over Pittsburgh; Chicago 3% over Baltimore; Cleveland 10 over Philadelphia; Minnesota 6 over Los Angeles; Detroit 6 over San Francisco, and Dallas 6% over Washington. Face Home Stretch For the Cardinals, Sunday’s home game is the start of a five-week period in which they have an opportunity to control their own championship destiny. During that stretch, the Cards play the Giants and Browns twice each. The game could turn out an air duel between the Giants’ Y.A. Tittle, the NFL’s No. 1 passer, and Johnson, whose 1,779 passing yards have made the Cards the league’s top offensive team. Both clubs have outstanding pass defenses, however- _2 t Johnson gave the Giants fits last season when he completed 26 of 40 passes for 365 yards before the Cards succumbed, 31-28. This year 24-year-old Johnson has another season of experience. Johnson’s two prize passcatchers, Bobby Joe Conrad and Sonny Randle, have caught a total of 70 passes and are headed for an NFL two-man record. Although the Cards have lost John David Crow, Joe Childress and Bill Triplett have done enough ground-gaining in his absence to rank fifth and seventh among jNFL rushers. Giants Sound Physically The Gjants, who bounced back into the race with a 33-6 win over the Browns, are in good shape. The Cards will

LOUIS (UPI) - St. Louis Cardinals lost a player but gained a full-time coach Thursday — at least for four weeks. Ed Henke, defensive end who’ doubles as a line coach, was placed on the injured waiver list as a result of a dislocated elbow suffered during last Sunday's game with the Washington Redskins. He will be out of action as a player for at least a month. Hockey Results National League Detroit 4, New York 1.

miss defensive end Ed Henke, in addition to Crow. Pittsburgh, which still has a remote chance of winning the Eastern title, faces a murderous last-half schedule in which it can help settle the* races in both divisions. By a quirk of the schedule, the Steelers play both top Western clubs, facing the Bears on Nov. 24. In addition to games against the Packers and Bears, the Steelers also have battles remaining with Cleveland and New York in the East. ’ “This is the game we have to win to stay in there,” said Coach Buddy Parker of Pittsburgh. “We are ready.” The return of John Henry Johnson at fullback puts the Steelers in their best shape in several weeks. The Packers, who have won six straight since their opening-game loss, will go again with John Roach at quarterback in place of the injured Bart Starr. Green Bay’s only serious injury is tight end Ron Kramer’s ankle. Kramer may play Sunday. Ray Berry Returns Baltimore has been an “almost” club season-long. The Colts gave the Packers two hard struggles and in their first game with the Bears they led before bowing, 10-3. This weekend, Ray Berry returns to complete Johnny Unitas’ old passcatching corps, Lenny Moore is scheduled to go back to his old running back job, and the Colts could cause Ron Bull, shaken up last week, is expected to be back in the Chicago lineup. The Bears’ pass defense,' which has intercepted 22 throws so far this season,, will have to be at its best to contain Berry, Moore, Jimmy Orr and rookie John Mackey. Linebacker Galen Fiss and defensive back Jim Shofner are due back in the Cleveland lineup for the game at Philadelphia, but running back Ernie Green and defensive tackle Bob Gain are question marks. King Hill, fill-in for the injured Sonny Jurgensen, has shaken off a mild concussion and will direct the Eagles. The Rams seek a third consecutive NFL win against a Minnesota team that is down to only three running backs and four receivers; the Cowboys have shaken up three regular positions for the game against the Redskins, and Jack Christiansen ’ hopes his Forty Niners fare better against his old Detroit club than their 26-3 beating four weeks ago when he made his head coaching debut.

Jackets Wind Up Season At Angola Tonight Hie Decatur Yellow Jackets wrap up their 1963 season tonight at Angola, attempting to accomplish a feat that hasn’t been done since 1956 — victory in six ball games. The Jackets presently own a 5-3 overall mairk, and are tied for fourth spot in the Northeastern Indiana Conference race with Kendallville on the strength of their 4-3 record. The five victories is the most posted by a Decatur team since that 1956 season when Decatur won six of nine. Only two teams have won six games since the unbeaten season in 1943. Melchi, Stauffer Out The Jackets will be without the services Os two players tonight, both fullbacks. Senior Buster Melchi, plagued by a leg injury since the Bluffton game, was rounding back into shape this week when he severely sprained an ankle in practice. He will not be dressed for tonight’s contest. Reserve fullback Jack Stauffer will also* not be dressed this evening. Stauffer suffered a dislocated shoulder in practice this week. That means sophomore Sam Blythe will have to carry the brunt of the attack this evening from the fullback position. With the exception of the injuries to Melchi and Stauffer, coach Wally Yeoman’s Yellow Jackets should be in good shape for the 7:30 p. m. conference battle. The Jackets have had more than a week to recuperate from various bumps and bruises since their 7-0 win over Concordia Oct. 23. 11 Seniors Finish Angola will prove a formidable foe for a sixth Yellow Jacket win. The Hornets are 4-2 in the conference and 5-2 overall, and posted a 12-7 Win over Kendallville on the Comet field last week. Eleven seniors, excluding Melchi, will end their final high school gridiron careers tonight, including tackles Steve Hazelwood and Tom Macklin, Manny Ybarra, center Dave Wynn, Gary Frauhiger, ends Deane Lehman, Greg Ladd aijd Kenny Riffle, backs Dick Ortiz and John Custer and Gary Krueckeberg. Houston Meets Boston Tonight In AFL Feature By DICK DEW UPI Sports Writer It’s the same thing every season — Houston versus Boston for« the American Football League’s Eastern Division championship. Houston’s defending Eastern titlists invade Boston’s Fenway Park tonight for what everybody recognizes as a “crucial” game with the Patriots. Houston’s 5-3 record gives it a sin-gle-game lead on Boston's 4-4 mark in the tight Eastern race. A Houston victory would almost end the race but a Boston win would create the wildest four-way scramble in the four-season history of the .AFL. The weekend co-feature sends Western Division leader San Diego against the Jets at New York Saturday night. The Chargers are six-point favorites. In Sunday’s games, Buffalo at Denver was rated a tossup and Oakland was a six-point pick to down visiting Kansas City. Billy Cannon Returns Houston’s Billy Cannon, the ace running back who has helped the .Oilers to four wins and a tie in a six-game series history with Boston, was activated in time for tonight's game. Coach Pop Ivy said the former LSU star appeared fully recovered from a hamstring muscle injury. Cannon and’ veteran quarterback George Blanda were facing a Boston team that leads the AFL in rushing and total defense and is second-ranked in passing defense. The Patriots, up-ended in the. final minute of play at Buffalo "in their latest start, put added emphasis on the passing of Babe Parilli and the running of fullbacks Billy Lott and Harry Crump for the gamer Injured Players Heal The Jets were bolstered by the return of a flock of ailing players, headed by running back Bill Mathis, tight end Gene Heeter, and safetytnan Dainard Paulson. New York Coach Weeb Ewbank was growling over the fa#t that for the second time his club was catching the Chargers on the rebound. San Diego was edged by Oakland last week and barely beat the Jets. 24-20. In their earlier meeting at San Diego.

Air Force And 'Army Clash In Grid Feature By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer On the ground ... in the air ... over the water ... you can always count on the United States Armed Forces for a gallant battle. And there’ll be no exception this weekend when the three big service academies stage their version .of the college footbaM bowl. There won’t be any of that inter-service cooperation the State Department likes to talk about nor will there be any joint expeditions against the enemy. Just a lot of good, rugged football, for which all sides will be amply rewarded. The occasion is a couple of grudge games pairing the Army against the Air Force in Chicago and Navy against Notre Dame at South Bend. The outcome is as important to these teams as the result of a bowl game is to other schools. Rivalry Continues Army and the young Air Force Academy have met only once before and that resulted in a 13-13 tie three years ago. The Navy-Notre Dame series dates back to 1927 and is the longest intersectional rivalry in college football. The other games to be televised are Mississippi vs. Louisiana State and Southern California vs. Washington. It’ll be hard to convince students at the service academies and Notre Dame, but there’ll be a number of other contests around the country Saturday of particular importance. Texas, ranked No. 1 in the 1
