Illinois Meets Spartans For Big Ten Title CHICAGO (UPI) — The Big Ten s day of decision comes up next Saturday when Illinois and Michigan State clash for the league championship and the Rose Bowl bid that goes ' with it. The Illini bounced back into the title picture Saturday thanks to a rash of Wisconsin fumbles and wayward passes - plus some unexpected help from Northwestern. The Illini, recovering two fumbles and intercepting three passes, upped their conference record to 4-1-1 in Saturday’s 177 victory over Wisconsin. Northwestern, playing what coach Ara Parseghian called its “best game of the season,” threw a key block by upsetting Ohio State 17-8. Ohio State dropped to third place and out of contention, and Michigan State, taking a day off from league functions to defeat Notre Dame 12-7, remained the Big Ten leader with a 4-0-1 mark with only Saturday’s game left to play. The Spartans need only a tie to take the championship. Although Illinois plays one more league game than the Spartans this season, the stumbling block on the Illini road to the Rose Bowl could be their loss to Michigan. Since ties count a half game won and’ a half game lost under conference rules, _ MSU would finish a half-game ahead of Illinois should the game end in a deadlock. Ohio State’s Woody Hayes took it on the chin from Northwestern’s ground game and also had his troubles in the air. A small plane circled over Ohio Stadium during the intermission trailing a sign reading, “Goodby Woody.” The Michigan - lowa struggle ended in a 21-21 tie and Purdue’s ground attack, inept as it was, was good enough for a 13-11 edge over Minnesota.

By Bob Shraluka Wrestling begins its third season at Decatur high school Thursday night, and optimism for this year’s club is running high. Coach Gary Geissler, who started the sport at the school in 196162, has done a tremendous job in that’short period. In the first season, the local grapplers \won several matches and were narrowly beaten in others. Last season the local team turned in an outstanding performance, considering - their inexperience, and won seven of 14 matches for an even .500 percentage. Prospects for an even greater season this year are good, as Giessler has some 10 lettermen returning, many of whom will be starting their third season competing in varsity matches. Looking over a rugged schedule, though, Giessler says he is quite optimistic, but still a little ‘ worried. “We could have a great season,” he “but! This .Year's team has a tremendous potential, with guys like Kalver, Adams, Baumann, Myers, Lehman, Magley, Butther, Reinking and Hazelwood who made the squad when we started three years ago and are still around,” he continued. Could Hinder “But sometimes this hinders more than it helps. With our tough schedule the boys will have to be up for every match, and no matter how much experience they have they won't be able to take one single foe for granted,” he added. The likeable, hard-working coach is afraid complacency may set it with some of his veterans, which could quickly turn a potentially good season into a disastrous one. But if the veterans on the squad retain the first and battling-spirit they demonstrated through the first two years—watch out! The most important loss from last year is Mark Corral, who went through the entire season without a defeat. The little guy is overage this season and Tom Eyanson, a pint-sized freshman, is working hal'd to fill his shoes in the 95 pound division. At present, Eyanson is the .only candidate who can fit . into the division weight-wise. Battle For Spot Sophomore Tom Maxwell and

Gary Giessler freshman Terry Harner are presently battling for the number one spot in the 103 class. The top “ prospect in the division, Arthur Ybarra, is ineligible currently grade-wise,. , : The 112-pound weight division is well taken care of by two-year letterman Alan Kalver, probably’ the hardest worker on the squad. Kalver has made the past two seasons pay off in learning the sport, and should really be tough . this season. Kalver has maintained his same weight as last season when he posted a fine 12-3 won-’and lost record, wqn his division at the New Haven tourney and placed third in the sectional. Five boys are currently battling for the starting spots in the next three weight divsions, 120, 127 and 133 pounds. Dave Adams, another two-year letterman, will ‘ wrestle at either ’ 120 or 127 pounds. Adams has put on a few pounds since last season when he wrestled at 103 pounds and posted a ■tremendous 13-2 record, plus a championship in the New Haven tourney. He, too, is a hard worker \ with a real “battler's attitude.” Where Adams wrestles will depend on Gary Myers, Lennie Corral and Neil Butcher. Myers, another two-year letterman, is fighting for the 120-pound starting role, which would leave Adams for the 127-pound weight. Myers is also another of the real “battlers” on the team, and had a fine 9-4 record last year. Corral Coining But Corral is working hard to capture the first berth in the 127 class, which would leave Adams for the 120-pound weight. This is Corral’s first year in the sport but Giessler says he has shown a good deal of savvy for his inexperience, and is a rugged competitor. Steve Gephart, a letterman two years ago, is also fighting for the starting spot in the 127 division, ADAMS THEATER - Last Time Tonight - First Feature 7 o'clock Hilarious in COLOR!

as is sophomore Bob Hawkins. Neil Butcher is a two-time letterman returning at the 133 pound weight, but Corral is pushing him also in that division. At present, the 138-pound division is wide-open, with Dave Green, a sophomore, and Dallas Whittenfeld, a freshman, the top prospects. , Lettermen fill out the remaining five weight divisions, Sam Baumann, 145 pounds; Tim Magley, 154 pounds; Deane Lehman, 165 pounds; Larry Reinking, 180 pounds; and big Steve Hazelwood, the heavyweight. Concerning Baumann, who had an 8-s“record last year and has earned two letters, Giessler says “he could be really great—it’s all up to him.” •»» Magley Has Spot Magley is being pushed some by Dann Johnson in the 154Weight. hut, the, junior grapnler .appears to have the starting as* signment earned as of now. Lehman is another two-year letterman, and should have a > great season. Fresh from an outstanding job in football, he Should continue in the grappling sport. The breaks should go his way this season for Lehman, who won eight of 14 matches last year and lost three or four by one single point. Reinking is also a two-year winner of a letter, and he too could have an outstanding season. He improved tremendously last season over his first, and if he can improve that much again this year, watch out! Reinking can’t rest on past 4aurels, however, as big Darryl Grote is working in the same weight to earn a starting berth. Grote is in his first year in the sport, but could be a good one with experience. Hazelwood, who will probably wrestle at 215 to 220 pounds, could be infor » great season also. The big guy had an outstanding year in football, winning a co-MVP award and all-state honorable mention/ and is “fired up” to continue these heroics in wrestling. His weight division is one of the tougher ones, as he will be running into opponents his size and bigger, all year long. He has two previous fine seasons behind him and "this third one could be the best of them all. Open Thursday The team will open its season at 7 o’clock Thursday night in the Decatur high school gymnasium, with North Manchester the foe.

■ /je • Chicago Bears Whip Packers To Take Lead By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer They called George Halas old-fashioned; there were many who said the parade had passed him by and that he hadn’t kept pace with the swiftly advancing times in pro football; they said he couldn’t win again. Yet here is 68-year-old “Papa Bear” on the verge of becoming the " most successful coaeh- - in any era of pro football. He coached “winners during the National Football League’s “Gaslight Era” of Ernie Nevels and Jim Thorpe; he had winners during the transitional T-formation days of Sid Luckman and Sammy Baugh; and now he’s headed for a winner in the modern highly specialized era of Jimmy Brown, Y.A. Tittle and Johnny Unitas. Papa's Bears, using his “oldfashioned” techniques of ballcontrol and defense, destroyed the proud Green Bay Packers, 26-7. Sunday and virtually assured the NFL of a new champion. Four weeks still remain in the season but the Bears are in command with a 9-1 record and a one-game lead over the Packers in the Western Division. Giants On Top The New York Giants also assumed the undisputed lead in the Eastern Division of the league when they clobbered the San Francisco Forty Niners, 48-14, while the St. Louis Cardinals upset the Cleveland Browns, 20-14. The. Giants, with an 8-2 record, now hold a onegame lead over deadlocked Cleveland and St. Louis. In Sunday’s other games, the Pittsburgh Steelers remained in the running with a 34-28 win over the Washington Redskins; the Los Angeles Rams upset the Detroit Lions, 28-21; the Baltimore Colts edged the Minnesota Vikings, 37-34, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-20. The Bears' won the NFL's biggest battle of 1963 by beating the Packers at their own game —a crushing ground attack and an unyielding defense. Those were the weapons the Packers had used to win three straiht Western titles and the last two NFL playoff games. More Convincing Win Sunday the Bears were supreme right from the opening minutes and by a ’ more convincing margin than their 10-3 win over the Packers on the opening Sunday ,of the seasorf. * A sellout crowd of 49,166 watched the game at Chicago. Quarterback Billy Wade completed only 6 of 14 passes, but the Chicago ground forces of Willie Galimore, Joe Marconi and Rick Casares grxund out 248 rushing yards. Galimore’S 79 yards were eight more than th® entire Green Bay haul of 71. Roger LeClerc kicked four field goals of 29, 46, 19 and 35 yards; Galimore ran 27 yards for one touchdown and Wade carried five yards for another; and the Chicago defense intercepted five passes and recovered two Green Bay fumbles. While injured Bart Starr sat on the sidelines, John Roach handled the Green Bay quarterback job for the first three quarters and Zeke Bratkowski for the final period. The Packers’ lone score came on an 11yard ruri by Tom Moore late in the game. - Threw Four TD Passes At New York, a crowd of 62,982 watched Y.A. Tittle recover from a shaky first period to throw four touchdown passes in a route of the Forty Niners. Phil King and Joe Morrison combined to gain 199 rushing yards and carried the load until Tittle uncranked his arm. King raced 50 yards on a draw play for the Giants’ first touchdown; Morrison caught two of Tittle's scoring passes; and Frank Gifford also grabbed two TD tosses, one from rookie Glynn Griffing. Tittle's passes gained 284 yards. Abe Woodson ran back a kickoff 99 yards for San Francisco. Charley Johnson threw two scoring passes and gained 274 air yards for the Cards in the win that knocked Cleveland out of a tie for first place. Johnson, passed 41 yards to Sonny Randle and 19 yards to Bill Triplett - for the score that eventually the game-winner. Cleveland’s Jimmy Brown had the consolation of adding an NFL record. He raced 59 yards for the Browns' first score in a 154-yard rushing haul that made him pro football's leading all-time groundgainer by all methods (runs, pass-catches and kick returns). His 11,353-yard total topped Ollie Matson’s- 11,317. Ballman Led Steelers Gary Ballman rdn back a kickoff 92 yards with slightly more than two minutes to play ahd gave Pittsburgh its win at Washington. The Redskins, who suffered their seventh straight defeat, had gone ahead 28-27 on Norm Snead's 21-yard pass to Pat Richter with 2:38 left to play. Ballman earlier had

San Diego's Chargers Boost Lead In AFL By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Tobin Rote's first season in the American Football League is approaching history-making proportions. The durable Rote, a veteran of 14 pro seasons, can become the. first player to direct championship teams in the AFL and the National Football League. Rote tossed a go-ahead 17yard touchdown pass to Lance Alworth in the third period Sunday en route to forging San Diego's 23-13 victory over Buffalo. The triumph enabled the Chargers to take a two-game lead over idle Oakland in the Western Division. The Boston Patriots missed an opportunity to gain ground on idle Houston in the Eastern Division when they tied Kansas City, 24-24, and the New York Jets surprised the Denver Broncos. 14-9, in other Sunday encounters. Rote achieved the first half of his possible pro double in 1957 when he led Detroit to a conference playoff win over San Francisco and then quarterbacked the Lions to a 59-14 victory over Cleveland in that year’s NFL title game. Against Buffalo Sunday, Rote completed 10 of 22 passes and dealt a crushing blow to the Bills’ Eastern hopes. Keith Lincoln's 54-yard touchdown runs and field goals of 39. 15 and 41 yards by George Blair kept San Diego's record intact against Eastern teams this season. The Bills tallied on . Cookie Gilchrist’s one-yard plunge and field goals of 27 and 9 yards by Max Yoho. Boston deadlocked Buffalo at 5-5-1 for second place behind Houston as the Patriots tied Kansas City. A 28-yard pass from Eddie Wilson to fullback Curtis McClinton with six minutes remaining enabled the Chiefs to gain the tie. Wilson, starting his first game as Len Dawson’s quarterback replacement, had completed only eight of 21 passes going into the game. But he successfully engineered an aerial bai> rage of 20 completions in 32 attempts for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Dick Wood threw scoring passes at 30,yands to Bake Turner and 60 yards to Don Maynard as New York splashed -ito way—.to an upset over Denver. A two-inrll snoW 1 -’' fall Saturday night left the field muddy and slowed the offensive action to a crawl.
