Logan Aquinas scheduled for games, the football front will be comparatively quiet in town this week. Central's Saturday night contest with Campion of Priarie du Chien is the only game on the local agenda. La Crosse State journeys to Menomonie, for its important conference battle with Stout; Logan encounters Chippewa Falls Friday night; and Aquinas tangles with Eau Claire'Regis Sun- iay afternoon.

Central hopes to better its 2-2-1 record against the tricky Red Knights of Campion. The game will be the highlight of Central's annual Fan Festival celebration this week. Campion lost three straight ball games before stopping Columbus of Marshtield Saturday afternoon, 27-0. When La Crosse and Stout play at Menomonie Saturday night the winner will probably win at least a share of the State Conference title. Stout, La Crosse and Whitewater are tied for first place in the conference with 3 wins and no losses.

Right now Whitewater is in the best position because the Quakers do not play Stout or La Crosse. Coach Rod Martin's Logan squad may find Chippewa Falls a tough customer. Last week the Cardinals roared back from a 20-0 halftime deficit at Tomah to score 25 points. Tomah won, however, 32-25. Eau Claire Regis considered one of the best Catholic High School clubs in the state.

Still undefeated, Regis has rolled over five foes this season. Aquinas takes a 3 wins, 2 loss record into the ball game.

Coach Lisle Blackbourn's Hilltoppers led Michigan State, first-ranked team in the nation, for three and a half quarters Saturday, but the Spartans pulled the game out of the fire in the final period and 20-14. For a while it looked as though a surprised Michigan State team was in for a humil- itatinsj beating as Marquette took a 144 halftime lead.

The other clubs on top of the National Division with 12-records are Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Chicago Bears. The first half of the Eagle- Packer tilt was a relatively dull affair for the 18,489 fans. Green Bay scored early on Thomason's toss to Mann and Philadelphia came in with a second half tally on Bill MacKrides' 24-yard pitch to Pete Pihos. Fred Cone booted a 20-yard field goal for the pack in the third period but the Eagles came right back with a 3-pointer of their 27-yard kick by Bob Walston.

Then when the Eagles started back after the kickoff Summerhays speared one of Adrian Burk's passes on the packer 12 and went all the way.

Five Pro Football Teams Tie For First In National League By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK the New York Yanks can look upon next Sunday's action in the National Conference of the National Football League with anything approaching disinterest. The Yanks are the only team in the division who do not own a share of first place, and further, what they've shown so not figure to come even close the rest of the season. They've lost 3 games and won none, while Detroit, the Chicago Bears, Green Bay, Los Angeles, and San Francisco all sport identical 2-1 marks for a 5-way tie for the lead. The Lions are in the most advantageous spot to take over, for they face the Yanks Sunday. Los Angeles plays Green Bay and San Francisco visits Chicago for game with the Bears.

The American Conference is concerned with no such trouble. All the other-5'teams must wor- ry about now is how to catch the first-place New York Giants. Steve Owen's league-leaders and now the favorites to come out on the second-place Philadelphia Eagles in the top game Sunday, while Pittsburgh goes against Cleveland and the Chicago Cards meet Washington. Detroit, which has had the tag of dark horse hung on it, lost good opportunity Sunday when it bowed to Los Angeles, 27-21. Up to Sunday, the Lions had been the only undefeated team in the division, but Bob Waterfield notched 20 points for the winners to crush the Lion hopes.

In other games, the Giants whipped the Chicago Cards, 2817; the Chicago Bears triumphed over the Yanks, 24-21; San Francisco stopped Pittsburgh, 23-24; Cleveland ripped Washington, 450, and Green Bay thrashed Philadelphia 37-24. The Giants, behind 17-14 after three periods, had their troubles with the Cards. But after having their air attack bottled up, the New Yorkers resorted to the ground, and Eddie Price and Kyle Rote carried the mail over to wrap it up. The Bears were sailing along experiencing no trouble with the Yanks until the final minutes, when Jimmy Phelan's tailenders went on a binge and scored three times. Bob Celeri, substitute back, passed for one and set up another, but time ran out.

San Francisco had to come from behind a 10-7 halftime deficit, but with Frankie Albert pitching from all angles, scored three times in the third period to crush the Steelers. The Defending Champion Browns, who have had their troubles at times, slaughtered the Redskins, although Washington did not help its own cause. Four of the Redskin fumbles promptly were converted by the Browns, three into touchdowns, and one into a field goal. Badgers Knuckle Down To Find Scoring Punch For Purdue Tilt MADISON, Wis. University of Wisconsin football team, still without a Big Ten victory despite a definite advantage in the statistics columns of two games, knucked down Monday in an effort to find its scoring punch.

The Badgers tied favored Ohio State, 6-6, before a capacity crowd of 51,000 at Camp Randall here Saturday after losing to Illinois a week earlier, 14-10. Purdue will be host to Wisconsin in a homecoming tilt at Lafayette, this Saturday. Coach Ivy Williamson announced Sunday the Badgers will take on the Boilermakers without the services of Bill Gable, outstanding offensive guard who suffered a knee injury in the Ohio State game. Halfbacks Harland Carl and Tom Canny and Tackle Charles Berndt, none of whom saw action against the Buckeyes because of injuries, still were on the doubtful list for the Purdue game. Wiconsin rolled up 19 first downs Saturday against 7 for the visitors and gained a total of 346 yards compared with 106 for Ohio State.

"Our defense did a beautiful job," Williamson said, "It was just a shame that Skvarka made that long run. Look at the statistics and you'll see what a job our defense did." As for the Badger offense, it was the same story as a week ago'at Illinois, Williamson said. "We piled up a lot of yardage but couldn't sustain our attack. We just aren't getting anything cheaply this year, and you VAN CHICK SHIRTS By Van Heincn Not a stitch in sight. Plain and stripes.

Ivy praised the work of two freshmen, Alan Ameche of Kenosha and Bob Young of Green Bay, who accounted for a good portion of the yardage.

Pro Football Standings Big 10 Race Like A Dog Chasing Tail By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO Big Ten football title rush is getting more like a dog chasing its tail. There is no clear-cut favorite thus far. Probably Illinois has a slight edge in the figuring on the basis of its 14-10 victory over Wisconsin a week ago and the Badgers 6-6 tie with Ohio State Saturday. The sgruggle could become so intense that the deadlock at counts one half game won and one half lost in the become the final factor in determining the champion when season ends.

Three conference games this Saturday should do little in clearing the muddle unless there are upsets. Wisconsin invades. Purdue and should win on tha form sheet. Ohio State should defeat Indiana at Columbus. Michigan at Iowa seems like a toss-up.

The intersectional schedule sends Illinois to Washington, Nebraska to Minnesota and Navy to Northwestern. In other engagements for Midwest majors. Notre Dame will try to shake off its 27-20 loss to Southern Methodist with victory at Pittsburgh; undefeated Michigan State, pressed to beat 20-14, is at Perm State; and Mar- quettehas a night game at Tut sa.
