Milwaukee Metros Upset Bobca ts 6-4 Taylor Hopes To Cut the nets after making the trip blanked the Bobcats State Fair Park Coliseum. The rejuvenated Metros pulled a 6-4 upset of the MILWAUKEE (PG) The Green Bay Bobcats, who were surprisingly wary of the Mil- waukee Metros, despite the latter's 0-4 United States Hockey League record, had every right to be after Tuesday night's encounter at the Rami Re from Windsor, Ont. Ed Kowalski led the Milwaukee attack with two goals, an effort matched by the Bobcats' Gerry Frenette. Cavarzan, who kicked out a total of 31 shots for the night, league leaders who had been unbeaten in six games.

When Paul Dowd tallied for the Milwaukeeans at 3:25 of the second canto it appeared a real rout was under way. Frenette broke the Bobcat drought at 11:12 and Tom Neveau lighted the red bulb at 17:53 to cut the margin to 5-2. Frenette started a two-goal Bobcat rally in the final session with a score within 59 seconds of the start of the period. Dick Dougherty pulled the Bobcats to within one goal when he beat Cavarzan at 6:09. Gary Kearns, on an assist from Joe Bocchini, gave Milwaukee an insurance goal at 15:07.

While there was no further scoring, the greatest action for the small crowd came with 54 seconds remaining as a free-for-all broke out and four ANAHEIM, Calif. (PG) The Rams have been murder on Jim Taylor the last three games. The Packers' powerful fullback averaged just i.i yards in 45 trips against Los Angeles in the two 1960 battles and the earlier match in the first period as the Metros skated to a 4-0 lead. Jim Sie-bert sent the visitors on their way to defeat when he scored in at 1:46. Before three more minutes had elapsed Kowalski connected for the first time.

Knights Foil 'Blizzard Win 86-81 By LEX WAGNER It was cold outside and there was a blizzard racing inside of Van Dyke Gym Wednesday night but St. Norbert's hearty Green Knights survived the elements and escap ed with an 86-81 win over Eau Claire State. Bob Blizzard and his fellow Blugolds threatened to upset an obviously tired St. Norbcrt team but, just as in the 68-66 triumph over Lewis Tuesday night, the Knight bench came to the rescue. How come? awful," Taylor asked and agreed, Rams just key up on me or They're big but so are some of And we've been playing a against them not the quick Yards Get to Starr? Ram Personnel 'Woes' Mount-Gabriel Signs PICTURE ON PAGE 24 LOS ANGELES CD The Los Angeles Rams, who have personnel problems of a cur rent nature, can face the 1962 season with few more matters to iron out.

Today, for instance, they have four quarterbacks on deck. Ostensibly, each is set for the National Football League scramble, and each supposedly is ready to guide a flock of halfbacks and fullbacks already too numerous to rate fulltime employment. The latest quarterback Is Roman Gabriel, a massive 6-foot-3'i-in(h 223-pounder from North Carolina State, who was signed Wednesday over the bleats of the Oak land Raiders of the American Football League. All Gabriel has to do to make the team is beat out another widely heralded rookie signed just three days ago Ron Miller of Wisconsin and two veterans of the pro wars, Zeke Bratkowski and Frank Ryan. It might be noted that either of the four could well lift the Rams from their present embarrassment (4 wins-9 losses) if they could get adequate help from an offensive line a line yet either to mature or to evolve from 1961's draftees.

Gabriel comes to the Rams in a four-club deal that even the late Professor Albert Einstein might pause to analyze. But mixed up in the pic- Dick Rankin.

Thus, The Taxi may get in for a few plays. What's more, McGee would like to keep up his own per- sonal string. "I've never miss- ed a game in high school, col lege or pro," he drawled. McGee has a cracked rib or two and he was "sore" Wednesday.

Willie Davis thinks the Browns will beat the Giants Sunday. "The Browns will be loose and there are a couple of other things. Paul Brown doesn't like to lose to anybody, especially New York, and the Browns will be playing for next year." Davis isn't sure whether the Eagles will beat the Giants in case there is a division playoff. He's not really worried but he pointed out: "The Ea- JUil KUO" in tne ma'bf better. Anyhow, that food for Dec- 31 thought.

-I i. 4. A crowd of around 55.000 is expected here Sunday and, as Ham publicist Jack Teele says, "All the fussing over Bob will help the gate." Bob Wa terfield is on the pan along with Hamp Pool, backfield coach. Teele told about a Ram Fan Club luncheon Wednesday noon, when aterfieid referred to a Head line in a local paper which read, "Ram Problems Not Serious" Waterfield moan- this season. "Isn't that explaining "I guess the Davis hitters like we usually do.

"Maybe we'll do a little more of that Sunday." Does big Les Richter, the Rams' strong linebacker, bother Jimmy? "He's good and they have some others like Jobko and Meador but I can do it against them, too." Taylor carried only nine times for 35 yards in that 33-31 loss to the Rams in Milwaukee a year ago but he was hurt that day and Tom Moore finished up for him. In the title clinching game in LA last December the giant Ram defensive linemen held Jim to 42 yards in 17 carries Then in Green Bay last Nov. 19 Jim was held to 47 stripes in 19 trips. You can bet Taylor will be rolling in the Coliseum Sunday, since the league's rushing championship will be at stake. "It would be nice to win it.

We should know before our game starts how many yards Brown gets against the Giants," Taylor laughed. The Brown-Giant game in New York will be over before the Packers' kickoff. Taylor has fallen another six yards behind Cleveland's Jim Brown in the race for the National Football League rushing title. Brown gained the six yards In midweek when a recheck of official scoring records showed I he picked up G2 vards rather man do against me nirago Bears last Sunday. The six yards increased Brown's total to 1,306 yards on 281 carries.

Taylor is second with 1.22!) yards and must make up a 77-yard deficit in the final game of the year to grab the title Brown has won the last four years. And speaking of lineback ers, Taylor figures he could, play that position "in this league. I'd have to put on a little weight maybe 10 pounds. I'm weighing 214 now." Tavlor played both ways at LSU. "I was defensive cap tain in niy senior year and ad three good games as a Lntbacker.

Then I started concent rating on offense." Ar.d that's where the Packers came in. The Packers arrived in the southland Wednesday after- noon via United Airlines charter and headed for the Disney land Hotel, which is across the road from the famed Dis neyland Park. The temperature here was 55. which is cold for this country. Extending the official welcome here was Mickey McCormick, Packer director from Menominee, who is now in business out here.

With 2:15 to play, he had what amounted to a freshman sophomore squad on the floor and had to rush the first line back in when Eau Claire pulled to an 84-77 count with 1:30 still on the clock. The regulars hung on, how ever, and things quieted down until the gun. Blizzard, the key man in the Blugold's rally, finished the night with 32 points on 14 baskets in only 24 shots and four of seven free throws. His brother, Marshall, added three more buckets for a Blizzard total of 38.

Blizzard's performance, bril-iant in a losing cause, was overshadowed by the Knights' all-around balance as Jim Paprocki notched 22. Dave (Zeke) Hei.iig. 19. and Stu Jansen 15. Heisig hit eight of his points in the last six min utes to help sack the victory, number four for St.

Besides the Norbertine re strength, the Knight zone delense again snared the i potlight. The visitors shot at a racy 4a per cent clip but could get off only 68 shots against the Green and Gold aggressive defenders.

St. Norbert shot a creditable 38 per cent but fired 89 shots. Eau Claire also copped rebound honors, 42-38.

Tittle or Charlie Conerly? Allie Sherman, the Giants' rookie coach, is dodging the question again. He showed fancy footwork on the subject No 1 man Now Tittle's position is in doubt. Conerly rescued a lost cause Sunday in Philadelphia when the Eagles' jitterbug defense upset Tittle. Charlie, 40-year-old veteran of 14 National Football League seasons, threw three touchdown passes and the Giants won 28-24. "I don't think I did any different than Tittle so far as play-railing or passing," Conerly said after the game.

"We just weren't movlvg. Sometimes you change your quarterback and things -start moving." Conerly knows all about such changes. He has been on the other end more often than not. It was Conerly who started the season as No. 1 with Tittle still nursing injuries.

Not until the fourth game of the year, at St. Louis Oct. 8, did Tittle make his first start, i Tittle had pulled out the! game the week before in Washington. Wncn Xjttle was in trouWe fh. r.0, the Los iRams.
