Green Bay entertains the Lions in a rematch Sunday, while the Vikings are at home to the Los Angeles Rams. In the East, Cleveland's first-place Browns have a home game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins play the Giants at New York and the Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Cardinals at St. Louis in key games. Cleveland is on top with 5-3 record, with the Giants and Cardinals next at 4-3.

The San Francisco 49ers jl II" A 1 take on the Cowboys at Dallas in the other NFL game. In the AFL the a schedule has San Diego at Denver, Buffalo at Boston, New York at Kansas City and Oakland at Houston. Baltimore will present a formidable test for the Bears, among the top quarterbacks in pro football history and halfback Lenny Moore sound again after a rib injury. The Colts have a tough road ahead in their quest for a second straight Western title. They play the Bears again Dec.

5 and have a game the following Sunday against the Packers, who already own one victory over Baltimore this! year. Bart Starr, whose superb I quarterbacking was in a large measure responsible for I Green Bay's string of succes-' ses, has been having his trou bles and so have the Packers, Starr rallied the Packers to a 31-21 victory at Detroit four weeks ago, after they trailed, 21-3 at the half, but was rudely treated in a 13-3 decision over Dallas and manhandled badly by the Bears. The Packers are due to put everything together, however, Class Title at 'Stake Time out from sorting- through all-state football, ballots and time in for a few notes from here and there on the prep front. Conference playoff games take the football spotUgfit this week with the big one scheduled at Laurel. It matches Class C's No.

1 and No. 2 teams, Laurel and West Point, in the Husker Conference playoff. The two teams will carry identical 9-0 records into the battle. Laurel, a newcomer to the conference, Is making its first playoff appearance but West Point has beeniri seven previous playoffs in the 12 years the Duane Cox has been at the helm The Republican Valley League playoff has completed a full cycle as this year's championship contest send3 Bertrand-against Franklin. Bertrand whipped Franklin in the first RVL playoff in 1959.

Each of the teams is looking for a third conference championship. Bertrand captured titles in 1959 and 1961 while Franklin took the spoils id 1962 and 1963 There's a new took in the Big Ten playoff this year as Kearney makes its first appearance in the 21-year history of the conference. The Bearcats' opponents, Grand Island, aren't strangers to the post-season classic, however. The Islanders are making their 11th appearance in the playoff. They've been the most frequent participant in the series New Way to Lose Think you've heard of all the ways to lose a football game? Something different cropped up in Oklahoma prep play this fall when Northwest H.S.

of Oklahoma City had to forfeit three early season victories. Northwest violated the state athletic code by playing a boy who held membership in a secret fraternity. Such secret societies are illegal under state law. The lad, a junior, didn't really play a major part hi the three wins. He was on the kickoff team and the second defensive unit.

The youngster had signed a card stating that he. was-not a member of a secret society prior to the football season (all Northwest sudents must sign such a card when they enroll). Just another way for a coach to pick up a few gray hairs! ft Hunters Get 1,275 Deer IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIU I Six-Point Snag I losing Jivg in ajow, The Vikings, with their first-rate backfield of Fran Tarkenton, Tommy Mason and Bill Brown, racked up plenty on attack but showed little defensive strength until last week's upset of the For example, Min nesota owns a previous deci sion over Sunday opponent the last-place Rams but only by a 38-35 score. San Francisco probably will be without quarterback star John Brodie in the inter-divi sion match against the Cowboys. Brodie suffered a slight shoulder separation last Sunday against the Colts, and likely will be replaced as a starter by George Mira.

Word from Dallas is that Don Meredith will be the Cowboys' starting quarterback the rest of the season, meaning rookies Jerry Rhome and Craig Morton are being relegated to sub roles.

Cartwright threw two touch down passes to Rob Tahlor, tackle Ron Buschbom spilled Maryland tailback Ernie Tor- ain in the end zone for a safe ty, and Phil Bassi booted a 28-yard field goal to account for the Navy scoring.

Maryland's touchdown came on a 51-yard pass play from Phil Petry to Bob Collins late in the third period. Collins got completely be hind the Middie secondary and Petry passed beautifully to him at the Navy 15. He went accross untouched. It was Petry's second play of the game. He had been shunted out of the starting quarterback job last week by Coach Tom Nugent in a wholesale shuffling of players and coach es.

The victory put the Crimson Tide into the Southeastern Conference title chase. Alabama's cagy Paul Bryant, even with a 24-point lead, had his Crimson Tide kicking onsides and from an unbalanced line in the first half to keep LSU speedster Joe La-bruzzo from having an opportunity to run the bajl back. Representatives from the Sugar, Orange and Gator bowls were in the stands, and the Tide is believed to a gotten an unofficial invitation for at least one of the games.

Slaon picked, the Tigers to pieces in the first half with pinpoint passing. He connected on 9 of 16 tosses for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. Slaon, who succeeded Joe Namath as the Tide quarterback, set a school record for the most completions without an interception, surpassing the mark of 36 held jointly by Harry Gilmer and Pat Trammel of Alabama.

The Bears go for their fifth straight against the Baltimore Colts another team with a streak at Chicago's Wrigley Field. After coming into the season an unknown quantity, the Bears dropped their first three games. Then came the surprising turnabout.

Sparked by the fine all-round play of rookie halfback Gale Sayers, they whipped the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions and biggest of all the Green Bay Packers. That 31-10 triumph over the Packers spoiled an all-winning record and left Green Bay deadlocked with Baltimore for first in the Western Division at 6-1.

Spectacular passing and running by sophomore quarterback Charlie Fulton carried unbeaten Tennessee to a 21-7 football victory over Georgia Tech An overflow crowd of 52,174, largest ever to see an athletic contest in Tennessee, saw the Vols explode for three third quarter downs in 7 minutes. Tech scored its lone touchdown in the fourth period when tailback Giles Smith, subbing for the injured Lenny Snow, tore through left tackle and sped 33 yards into the end zone. The run came after Tech had recovered a Fulton mble. Bunky Henry con' verted. Fulton, easily winning the battle of the sophomore quar terbacks-.

(iP) A 33-yard touchdown run by Perm State's Mike Irwin in the third quarter spoiled a gallant bid by unheralded Kent State for an upset Saturday and carried the Nittamy Lions to a 21-6 football victory here.

The State Game Commission reported late Saturday more than 1,275 deer had been checked by Game Commission officers on the opening day of the nine-day rifle deer season in Nebraska. A record number of permits 24,150 including some 400 for special hunt areas had been issued. The largest first day kill was reported by the i Ridge unit where 392 animals were checked in. Other top units included Missouri unit with 110; Frenchman unit, 133; upper The Browns, knocked off last week by Minnesota, take on an Eagle team they beat early in the season. Philadelphia has shown a good de-f against rushing, but Jimmy Brown battered out 133 yards in the earlier Brown-Eagle game and undoubtedly will be out to make up for his unproductive day against the Vikings.

The Giants, supposedly in a building year with their big cast of rookies and trade acquisitions, rank with the Bears in the surprise category. However, they're rated even against the Redskins, who have shown considerable improvement with quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and all-purpose back Charley Taylor in form. St. Louis has lost two straight after beating Pittsburgh, 20-7, and now will try to get wel1 against the Steel Over Army suffered five losses and had one tie. The service schools played to a 13-13 tie in 1959 and Army downed the Fal cone 14-10 two years ago.

Mem was the standout on offense but the Falcon defense proved to be too much for the Cadets. Army's deepest penetration in the first half was to the Air Force 45. Only the deep punts of Nick Kurilko kept Air Force from grabbing more than a 7-0 lead at the half. Army didn't complete a pass until about nine minutes were left In the game and the Cadets could total only 54 yards rushing in the first half.
