One of Wisconsin's main pass-catchers, Ron Staley, will be unable to make the trip because of a leg injury. Earlier in the week Staley looked as if he had benefited enough by Wisconsin's open date last week to be in shape to play, but he was ruled off the traveling squad Thursday. Ron Miller's main target, however, is all set.

PGA spokesmen said dropping the clause means that Oriental as well as Negro golfers who meet other PGA professional requirements will now be eligible for membership. Delegates to the 54th annual PGA meeting voted overwhelmingly to drop the acial restriction following a recommendation by the PGA executive committee.

But almost overnight the Packers.

won several Big Games in 1960, enough to put them into the championship game, and they've won at least two already this year. Every game in the NFL is Big Game, of course, but some are more significant than others. The first Big Game in '60 was that Colt battle in Green Bay; the Pack won 35-21. The next Big Game was the Bears in Chicago; this was do or die and the Pack ers won it 41-13. That put them into a shot for a title and they faced two more Big Games.

They won 'em both and gained the playoff. The Packers of '61, aiming to make Green Bay Titletown, U.S.A., come Dec. 31, already have won two Big Games the Colts in Green Bay and the Browns in Cleveland. The win over the Colts put the Bays over the .500 mark and the victory over the Browns shattered the so-called Brown Barrier. And now it's the Bear Game the Big Game.

This is the Pack's mid -season "title" game. That the Packers are getting themselves ready (and that's a mild term) was no ticeable in Thursday's "pads day" practice on the Oneida drill field. There was some leather popping but no scrimmage of course. The Packer de fense, belted for 45 points last Sunday, is just sharpening its collective shoulder on the shoulders of the offense.

They had 10 passes intercepted in the first three games but have had only five stolen in the last three games. Bill Wade has had seven passes intercepted; Ed Brown eight. Bart Starr, who has thrown 57 more passes than Wade, had seven stolen.

Wade likely will start at QB for the Bears. Brown opened in Green Bay Oct. 1 Wade started in the loss to Philly last Sunday and Brown finished.

'Should Be Lot Tougher Than CHL Mayasich By LEE REMMEL The U. S. Hockey League, it would appear, is clearing the decks for an old fashioned Pier Six brawl. This impression stems, in large jart, from the squad cuts of the five USHL members, which are beginning to contain 19 Million Fish Licenses Sold WASHINGTON UB A to tal of 19,080,604 sport fishermen purchased one or more licenses to fish last year in the 50 states, the Interior Department reported today. The figure was based on certified information from the 50 state fish and game de partments filed as a basis for receipt of federal aid for fish restoration.

Interior said that while the number of licensed sport fishermen was large, it did not accurately reflect the total number of persons who fish because many are not required to purchase a license to fish in certain places. A recently released 19fi0 national survey of hunting and fishing put the number of sport fishermen 12 years of age or older last year at The 50 states reported that during 1900 licensed fishermen spent $52,142,826 for licenses, stamps, tags and permits, up $1,768,004 from the 1959 total. Minnesota showed the highest number of license holders, 1,404,103, and California was second with 1,348,205. California was ahead in gross cost to fishermen for licenses, at $6,153,591, and Wisconsin was second with $3,109,734. Wisconsin was thir in number of license holders with 1.030.R2R.

Giants Prime 'Best' Defense For Eagles By JACK CLARY NEW YORK OD-The New York Giants have the Nation al Football League's best de fense prime and ready to go after the high-flying Philadel phia Ragles when the two teams meet Sunday at Yan kee Stadium in a crucial East ern Conference game. From now on the Eastern leaders mostly all play each other, but the Giants must win this week if they are to share the lead with Philadel phia, the team that took their division title a year ago and went on to win the league championship. The Giants, whose offense is still not at its peak because of injuries, are looking to the defensive platoon to put a crimp in the pass-minded fmiadelphia offense, engi neered by quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and pass catchers Tommy McDonald, Pete Retzlaff and Bobby Walston. Unit Has Jelled Earlier this season, it looked as if the defensive pla toon had reached its peak and had started to slip. But under new defensive coach Harland (swede) Svare, himself a right-corner linebacker until last year, the unit has jelled.

"All we needed was work and conditioning to get our selves straightened around, Svare said today. "There's no better place to get it than in a game where the players ac tually re-learn what they al ready know and polish it up some more. "We also had to work Tom Scott, who took over my line- backing spot, and defensive back Erich Barnes, who re placed Lindon Crow, into our operation, and these two have responded magnificently. Only 970 in Air The Giants defense has al lowed only 1,914 yards in eight games, 944 by rushing and a stingy 970 through the air. This latter figure will be the one that must stand up against th aerial-minded Ea gles.

The defensive backfield, with Barnes leading the way with six interceptions, has al lowed only 43.3 per cent of enemy passes to be completed so far. As a unit, the defense which each week brings down thunderous cheers from packed Yankee Stadium, has allowed only 106 points and 101 first downs, both low fig ures in the league. This unit has Svare offered. 4) The Eagles said today they have signed Carl Taseff as a free agent. Taseff was re leased a week ago by the Baltimore Colts.

Taseff, a 5 foot-11, 194- pound defensive halfback, is in his 10th year with the league. He Was drafted by the Cleveland Browns, and went to the Colts in 1953. He will become the 36th player on the Eagles' roster, a place being open to him because of injured Tom Brookshier's having been placed on the reserve list. Virus Beds Donovan BALTIMORE (Pi Art Dono van, veteran defensive tacKie of the Baltimore Colts, has been hospitalized because of a virus attack. The 36-year-old standout of 12 National Football League seasons was sent to Union Memorial Hospital Thursday after reporting to practice with a fever.

Dr. Erwin Mayer, team physiciun, said Donovan will spend a couple of days in the hospital, but may be ready to play against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis Sun day. In practice, Donovan was replaced by Joe Lewis, obtained this year in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelcrs Still Hope PITTSBURGH Wl The Pittsburgh Steelcrs, now 3-5, apparently haven't given up hope of having a winning season in the National Footbnll Lengue. "I think we will be able to go the rcBt of the way," tackle Ernie Stnuiner said today.

"And don't for a minute think that the division championship has been decided." "Stautner is bo riRht," commented qiinrtrrbnrk Bobby Lavne. "Wilh a few breaks cn a11 tne wfly here."

Dec. 4 Twin Bill Patterson Go, Plus Liston On Arena TV The Dec. 4 fistic "double-header," topped off by heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson's title defense against Tom McNeeley, will be shown on closed circuit television at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena, Promoter Andy Serrahn announced today. Patterson and McNeeley will clash in Toronto, following a scheduled 10-rounder between Sonny Liston, No. 1-ranked heavyweight contender, and Germany's Albert Westphal, to be televised from Philadelphia.

The Liston- Westphal bout goes on at 9 o'clock, (Green Bay time.) Patterson who 11 say no more than he expects an teresting fight," opened training in Toronto today for his 15-round bout agaanst McNee ley. "I'll box only four or five days a week until the fight," Patterson said after his arrival by car from New York. "On the other days, I'll do road work and other exercises." The champion planned only light exercises today but ex pected to start boxing sessions with his seven sparring part ners Saturday. Latest to fall by the way side are former Bobcat forward Ken Stenlund, who has been trying out with the Des Moines Oak Leafs, and another wingman, Bob Turk, dropped by the Rochester Mustangs. Stenlund, brother of star Bobcat defensive forward Ron Stenlund, was good enough to appear in 20 games for the Green Bay icemen two years ago when they won the Central League championship, a span during which he produced 35 points.

Turk, too, is no green re cruit. The former University of Minnesota standout was a leading performer for the United States Nationals in the 1961 world games. He also starred for the 1958-59 U. S. Nationals after playing three years of varsity hockey at Minnesota under John Mari-ucci.

Bobcat Player-Coach John Mayasich, who coached Stenlund and played with Turk while a member of the Nationals, today greeted both of these developments with surprise and some apprehension. "This can mean only one thing," the Bobcat headmaster declared. "This league is going to be a lot tougher than the Central League was two years ago. And, if Rochester can afford to drop Turk, it certainly means the Mustangs are going to be loaded." Edge on Other Clubs Mayasich is convinced, as a matter of fact, that the Mustangs "have an edge on every other club in the league at this point." He bases this opinion on Rochester's signing of Oscar Mahle, former U. S.

Nationals star and a two-year varsity ace at the University of Minnesota, to augment the Broncs' already Imposing cast. "Des Moines must be strong, too," John feels, "because Kenny Stenlund played some good hockey for us two years ago."

State CC Hears Appeals on Ban Of Motor Trolling POYNETTE, Wis. State Conservation Commission meets here today to hear appeals that it reconsider its ban on motor trolling. The commission voted the ban at itriast meeting, after Gov. Gay lord "Jelson said he would not sign any order allowing motor trolling "unless sound and persuasive reasons are advanced to justify this practice." Since that meeting, the governor wrote to the commissioners explaining "I have not asked the Conservation Commission to imp an absolute ban on motor trolling. What I did was to urge the commission to conduct a complete review of commission policy on motor trolling and the evidence that led to this policy." Nelson repeated his insistence that "the authorii-tion be justified to my satisfaction in each case." "I do not sider motor trolling as a very sporting way to catch rish," he commented.

To protect resources againsl more and bigger boats, Nelson said he would ask re-introduct tion of his lake zoninb pro posal at the fall legislative session.

The rule, which Commissioner Ford Frick said could be the first step toward ending bonuses of $100,000 to untried players, centers on the strengthening of the current first year player rule.

Under the proposed rule, no major league club would be allowed to send a first year player to the minors without first obtaining waivers from every other major league team at a price of $8,000. And such a player could not be reacquired by a major league team until he has gone through the unrestricted $8,000 draft at the next selection meeting following his assignment to the minors. "This bonus rule is different from any other we've had so far," Frick said yesterday. "It is self-enforcing." He said that bonuses to untried youngsters cost the majors about $6 million in 1961. 'That's an expenditure we can't afford," 'Frick said.

"It means (under the proposed rule) that next year alone we could save $3 million." Also, under the proposal, no major league club would be allowed to have more than one such first year player on option at one time. And this player would be included In the 25-year limit of the club making the option. At present, a club can option any first year player without regard to waiver, up to eight such players. Also, these players can be protected from the draft by being recalled before the meeting provided the club does not exceed the 40-player "AT" 'ft "So he's blmf, Ktronier, faster and more experienced atcrp aUbinjl" rD1C3D(KtL7 TDDJL FREE GIFT WITH PURCHASE OF DEER TAG I'lii Ml Your ffiuifiiifj XcetU n. of Superior watched.
