Bart Starr By BOB McGINN Of nw Prtu-Gcuttt The Green Bay Packers have lost halfback Eddie Lee Ivery for at least the next four games. That much became clear Friday when Coach Bart Starr announced that Ivery was being placed on the four-week non-football illness reserve list. Why the Packers would remove Ivery from their active roster at the make-or-break point of their season, and what is at the root of Ivery's problem, remained unclear. Starr, in a brief statement to reporters following his regular afternoon press conference, said Ivery "is emotionally strained at this time and cannot play presently.

So we have placed him in a reserve capacity so he may go about solving those problems." But Starr refused to be specific when questioned by reporters. "It's a very private matter and I would prefer to leave it at that," he said. "I think any other statements should come from Eddie Lee."

He lettered four years at Oklahoma and rushed for 693 yards in his career as a part-time starter. Starr said he was supposed to be a tenacious blocker and good pass receiver. Ivery, according to Starr, practiced with the team Monday.

Tuesday is the players' off day. Ivery reportedly met with Starr on Wednesday and then left the team. Several players said they were under the impression all week that Ivery was sick. Starr informed them of Ivery's status at a team meeting Friday. "It has to be something pretty serious," said one player, "but you've got me, I don't know what it is." "I'm puzzled myself," said another.

"He's been up and down like most of us and he didn't play very well last Sunday. He knew it. But a whole lot of us didn't play very well last Sunday." Quarterback Lynn Dickey said Ivery's absence did not cause any noticeable change in the practice routine this week.

Ivery indicated he might address the issue Monday, before he plans to leave for an unknown destination in Florida. It was learned that the Packers plan to start fullback Gerry Ellis in Ivery's halfback position Sunday when they play the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. Mike Meade will start at fullback. Chet Winters, a rookie free agent from Oklahoma, will replace Ivery on the roster. Winters had a tryout Friday and agreed to a contract later in the day, according to a club spokesman.

He said Winters was expected to sign the contract today.

Behind Whitley, a No. 1 draft choice in 1977 and a long-time starter, they had Emanuel Weaver, a second-round draft choice in '82, and Boyarsky, a free agent whom they liked a lot. Nose tackle was not a priority item for the Green Bay Packers, either.

Cincinnati chose Krumrie in the 10th round with the 276th pick of the draft. He only made the team, beating out starting nose tackle Wilson Whitley, but he also made the lineup on an alternating basis with third-year man Jerry Boyarsky.

The Bengals' defense is ranked No. 1 in the league this week, after finishing 18th in 1982. "Of course it's the whole defense," Cincinnati defensive line coach Dick Modzel-ewski said of the improve- Tim Krumrie y-S- XJ SJ.V, ment. "But I'll be honest, I think the big difference, from tackle to tackle, is the two nose tackles. Those guys don't give any ground and they push people around.

Clark Kellogg, who led the Pacers with 21 points, helped the Pacers cut the lead to 73-58 on two free throws with 4:22 left in the third quarter.

But Moncrief, scoring 7 points in the remainder of the quarter, pulled the Bucks back out to an 82-64 lead. Gregg still mum on QB Packer-Bengal notes By BOB McGINN Of th Prait-Gazttta Quarterback Turk Schonert worked with the first unit during the two-minute drill in practice Friday but Cincinnati Coach Forrest Gregg would not say if Schonert will start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Gregg indicated he will wait until pre-game warmups before choosing between Schonert and Ken Anderson. Anderson returned to practice on a regular basis this week for the first time since injuring his neck against Pittsburgh on Oct. 10.

He is listed as probable on the Bengals' final injury report issued Thursday. A practice-field observer said Anderson's passes Friday lacked their customary zip. Schonert, a fourth-year pro from Stan-, ford, replaced Anderson in the Steeler game. He made the first starts of his career the last two weeks. Gregg did announce that M.L.

Schonert is expected to decide before Sunday whether to re-sign with the Bengals or accept reported offers from USFL teams in Chicago and Jacksonville.

The Gophers, 3-0 in conference and 6-0 overall, opened a 2-0 lead in the first period with goals from Micheletti and Tom Roths- tein. Gopher freshman Todd Okerlund made it 3-0 at the beginning of the second period. Matt Walsh then nailed one from the slot to put Wisconsin on the board. Micheletti's second goal and fifth of the season came unassisted to make it 4-1.

But the Badgers bounced back with a pair of goals in the third period by Lexi Doner on a rebound and Marty Wiitala after a scramble in front of the net. Dixon will probably not be around to see how that prediction turns out, however. He and the entire staff will be on the unemployed list when the season ends because Head Coach Joe Salem resigned earlier this week effective the end of the season. "Everybody is down because of it," Hobbins said of Salem's resignation. The Gophers have apparently deteriorated because of injuries, inexperience and mistakes.

"He has great potential," line coach Dennis Dixon said. "He has graded real well in all the games.
