Bears Pick 3 'Winners' By ED SCHUYLER JR. Associated Press Sports Writer The Chicago Bears, once feared as the Monsters of the Midway, hope to climb out of the pro football shadows with the aid of three members of a more recent dynasty, the Green Bay Packers. The Bears gave their Nc. 1 pick in the upcoming Jan. 27 college draft to Green Bay Wednesday for running back Elijah Pitts, outside linebacker Lee Roy Caffey and center Bob Hyland.

Chicago's other trade was an interconference swap with Bears dealing offensive tackle Rufus Mayes to the American Cincinnati Bengals for defensive tackle Bill Staley and defensive end Harry Gunner. "We would have liked to have afforded the luxury of taking our first-round draft, but we had to do something now and not for the future," said Chicago Coach Jim Dooley. "With what we get in the draft and in other trades, we can get the Bears back as winners again." The Bears won four NFL title from 1940 through 1946, didn't win another one until 1963 and then sank to a 1-13 record this past season, the worst in their 50-year history. Pitts and Caffey each played on NFL champions from 1965 through 1967 for the Packers obviously are thinking of the future. Their acquired draft choice will enable them to pick second in the first round, behind Pittsburgh.

Gives Views Over Clause MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) A crowd of 2,119 sports fans heard Brooks Robinson say Wednesday night that he thinks he and his members of the Major League Baseball Players Association have been "misunderstood" in the latest controversy over the reserve clause. "We are not trying to do away with the reserve clause," said the star third baseman of the Baltimore Orioles who is also the team's player representative. "We seek to have it modified." Robinson, here for the 22nd annual baseball dinner of the Union Leader Charity Fund made the statements in explaining the representatives' recent vote to support Curt Flood in his civil suit challenging the reserve clause. Other headliners at the dinner included shortstop Mark Belanger of Pittsfield, a teammate of Robinson's on the American League champion Orioles, and three members of the World Champion New York Koosman.

The trip took them north of the Sault to Chippewa Falls then northerly along a logging road about 10 miles. "It was Saturday, and not expecting any logging traffic on the road, we unloaded the trailer and left the jeep and trailer explains Mattson. At any rate the trio had toughh slogging from there. The snow was soft and wet and it required about four hours travel to reach their lake for winter trout fishing. When they got on the lake they found it covered with wet snow on top of a layer of ice, then a layer of water before they could cut through the original ice covering the lake.

They had to cut evergreen bows to keep their snow machines from sinking and to top it off their minnow bucket had leaked and all their minnows were dead. It was a rough trip back to where they parked their jeep and darkness had set in. And there were the jeep and trailer on top of the snowbank. They had no shovel or tools except some ice hole skimmers and an ice auger. "The truck driver's ri? was equipped with a hydraulic lift; and claws as he had been hauling pulp.

He just stopped his truck, unlimbered his rig and gently using the timber claws lifted the jeep and trailer out of his way without marking them one bit," says Mattson.

Billy Hardwick's Bowling Tips Skidding And Rolling A lot of guys today are trying i to kill the ban just to get it through the heads because a bowler gets into the most trouble when the ball starts i hooking in the first 20 feet. This is called skidding and most of the time it's a mistake.

Even if the ball does make it through the heads without hooking, chances are, when the ball gets to the pins, it'll be rolled out. So, what a bowler must do is find the hold spot so he can get completely away from the hooking area. It's so important, it makes all the difference in the world. If you can't get the ball to quit hooking in those first 20 feet, your average is going to drop a little more every week. (NEXT: Control.) (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)
