Of the 29 games played to date in the series which dates back to 1928, the Packers have won 14, the Giants 13 and two have ended ties. Further evi dence of their all-time equali ty is to be found in the point tabulation, which snows tne Packers leadine by a scant two, to 374.

It will be the Giants' first annearance on Green Bay soil since 1949 when the hungry hirelings of fatout bteve Uwen, now on the Philadelphia Eaele staff, triumphed 30-10. It also will be the first regu lar season meeting between the old rivals since 1952, when the Packers claimed a 17-3 decision in Gotham.

The World Cham pions rejected an initial proposal. Walter Bender, Commission chairman, said: "What the commission is really interested in is finding a proposition that will be fair to the people of the city and to the Braves." No date for the meeting was set. Joseph Cairnes, the president of the National League team, said Thursday that the offer for a new contract proposed by the commission was "extremely unreasonable." Cairnes said the club would be forced to raise ticket and concession prices if it accepted the contract. The present five-year agree ment between the world y- A 4Un unamcion rraves aim Dec. 31.

East's biggest moment came in the closing period on a daz zling 82-yard kickoff return by Halfback Jim McCormack. Twice previously, McCormack returned Phantom kickoffs for 19 and 60 vards and this time. following a well-camouflaged lateral handoff from Quarter back Dave Kussow, the fleet halfback went all the way. With McCormack's brilliant returns, East's most potent offensive weapons were the driving slashes of Quarterback Kussow and the quick openers featuring Halfback lion van Duyse. Defensively, Doug and Charlie Lasee, aT" tackles, were standouts in the De Pere forward wall.

West's attack featured the hard-driving Badciong who reeled off gains of 28, 31, 21 and 38 yards from scrimmage, and trfe equally effective work of Borman, Gary Thyes and Rill Liedtke. The Phantoms possessed a potent pass attack with Ron Vande Hei and Jim atively with five completions to show for seven tosses. West built up to its initial srnre in a first period drive that started on their own 47. Thyes broke loose for 23 yards but a penalty put the ball back to the De Pere 45. Thyes re- rnnppd spypn, then RaHHnng was off on a 28-yard gallop to the De Pere 2.

The Redbirds threw Badciong back two yards, but he recovered one yard on the next thrust as the period ended.

Herb pointed out The Giants represent the frosting on Green Bay's New Stadium cake, since the New York are the world's great est pro football machine by virtue of their 47-7 victory over the Chicago Bears last December. Green Bay would like to complete the Dedication with a victory to match that stirring 21 to 17 triumph over the Bears in the opener last Sept. 29. In the middle game, the Bays succumbed to Detroit 24 to 14.

The Packers aren't being given a ghost of a chance to leave the home folks happy. The experts claim the Giants, coached by long Jim Lee Howell, should win by six points which is good logic, of course. The only argument the local diehards have Is that the Baltimore Colts were favored to whip the Bays by 10 last Sunday; The Pack won by three, 24-21. Sunday's belligerents have opposite reasons for getting up on their explosion horses. The Giants are unhappy about last Sunday's 31-14 loss to Washington and aim to get back on the track by whipping Green Bay.

That also would keep the Giants no worse than a game behind the leading Cleveland Browns. The Packers are happy about last Sunday's last-29- second decision over Balti more so delighted, in fact. that the Bays fully expect to lilro hpv rtlavpri in their 24-point lourtn quarter vs. the Colts. The Giants may have some ihine to sav about that but.

End Bill Beecher opened the gap further and actually supplied the winning margin in the third period when he scooped up a loose ball and raced 29 yards to score. Roger McAoee, rnan-tom center, broke through to smear a Redbird punt and set up Beerher's pickup. Halfback Tom Badciong, West's leading ground gainer Friday night, capped the scoring for Coach Don flyers club with a fourth-period foray from the eight yard line.

Bear Coach Paddy Driscoll, after losing at 'Frisco last Sunday: "The 49er defense mav have been more potent today. They contained us well and except for the opening part of the game when we used a man in motion for the first time this year, we did not run far against them. Lion-Aide Buster Ramsay claims the reason for the 49er upsurge is that the Frisco team finally has put some era-nhnsis on defense. "They started drafting defensive players and made trades for others," Buster said. Some strange things went on during SLeclcis' C-0 victory over the Eagles on a slop py field last Sunday.

Rookie Bill Barnes of the tagles dropped the muddy ball as he was going across the goal line on a 20-yard run and the Steelers recovered Later, Rav Mathews of the Steelers ran 64 yards on a pass play and, without being tackled, fumhlpd directly into the hands of the Eagles' Jerry Norton.
