The Western Conference winners tried working for the first time on the field the gimmicks drawn up for them by Coach Weeb Ewbank. He doesn't believe it worthwhile to attempt to completely fool the Giants so the new hear here, let it stay here when you leave here." Also staring at the players in huge letters is a "we outgutted them," This came from quarterback Charley Conerly of the New York Giants after they handed the Colts their first defeat of the season 24-21 Nov.

Ewbank doesn't want any of the same from his players used to egg on the Giants. However, their feeling was summed up. by fullback Alan Ameche who reported "never felt better in my life" when asked about his condition for the game.

The Colt practice scene isn't all solemn work, however, bank went around kidding his biggest players about their weight, some of which went up considerably due to a week's layoff. Ewbank has offered Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb $1 for every pound he is under 290 on Friday. Big Daddy was right on that figure today. "Don't stop eating now and spend all your time in the sweatbox just so you can take me for a few more bucks, but are so weak you have to crawl on the field," Ewbank joshed Lipscomb. "You never saw me crawl in a game coach," replied Lipscomb with an air of injured pride.

Ewbank also cornered Don Joyce, defensive end, about spending a lot of his time in a heat bath to reduce. "I had a cold," was Joyce's excuse. Exept for colds and virus among a few, thei Colts are at full physial strength for the championship tilt. Linebacker Leo Sanford and substitute fullback Billy Pricer were running, around in their regular positions for the first time in weeks to bring the squad to its full quota. aiui vidiiu.

Mostly, he said, he had made adjustments in some individual assignments and patterns for the first crack at the pro football title for the Colts and himself. They were practiced In a dummy scrimmage with no tackling and initial blocking only. Even while it was in progress, Ewbank was making more slight adjustments in an offense which scored more points than any other team in its conference.

The News said Graham insisted he had not made up his mind whether to enter coaching, but i he did he would want a long-term contract. BRENNAX Capt. John H. Forney, director of athletics at the Coast Guard Academy, said he has spoken to deposed Notre Dame head football coach Terry Brennan about taking a similar post now vacant at the Academy. But, said Forney, "it was just brief talk in which I more or ess felt Brennan out as to whether he'd be interested in coaching the cadets." Forney said he spoke to Brennan Monday.

Lambeau arrived in Green Bay last night, ostensibly to see his mother and ailing brother. He denied at that time having an appointment to confer with Packer officials.

It was doubthful whether there would be any announcement of Lambeau's status following the meeting since any appointment of a general manager is subject to confirmation by the club's 45-man board of directors. However, there was speculation here that such an announcement might be forthcoming before Lambeau leaves for Los Angeles next Tuesday.
