A team spokesman said he would be out for the season. It was the fourth knee operation this year for Lisbon, a second year man from Bowling Green University. mmmS BY MAL FLORENCE Time Stiff Writer The Rams, like an Indian wearing squeaky shoes, can sneak up on anyone.

They would have liked to slip into Milwaukee this Weekend as a sleeper team, hoping to surprise a complacent Green Bay. No chance. The Packers, instead of fighting the Western Conference lead, are fighting for survival at the midpoint of the season. Stung twice by Baltimore and once by Minnesota, the proud Packers, who have won three divisional and two world championships the past four years, would virtually be eliminated from title consideration by losing to the Ran. Is isn't likely to occur.

Marked Team Two weeks ago, the Rams ran into a psychological trap in Chicago. George Halas had whipped his Bears into a frenzy for the home opener after the club had blown three out of four on the road. The Rams were a marked team, played like it, and fell accordingly. It's unnerving enough to pulling off an upset are prohibitive. However, the breaks that went Lombardi's way in other seasons are drifting in another direction this year.

Hornung Goat Green Bay has lost three points and Paul Hornung, the suspended halfback of 1963, has been the goat (de serving or otherwise). He missed five field goals against the Colts last Sunday in a game dominated by the Packers. In previous losses to Baltimore and Minnesota, his missed conversions (one was blocked) eventually led to one-point defeats. On the surface the Packers appear to be as efficient as ever, relying on the esta blished formula of ground control, a timely air attack and a stout defense. Yet.

there are a few tell tale chinks in the great Pack er wall. All Pro guard Jerry Kramer's duties are now limited to kicking while All Pro defensive tackle-end Henry Jordan has only played in spots.

Fine intercollegiate undergraduates and as amateur any other athlete representing Uncle Sam, they were excluded from the Olympic Village, the right to parade in the opening ceremonies and cast aside as orphans by the USOC. They played their games in a stadium in Mei-ji Olympic Park across the street from the press center and within home run hitting distance of Nation-( al Stadium, focal point of' the big show.

Fujita. in good faith, invited the American baseball team to partake of the hospitality of Japan and enjoy the privileges of the Olympic Village with the other USA athletes. That was when wheels within wheels started spinning at Olympic House in New York, home of the USOC.

Letters went from there to International Olympic Committee headquarters in Switzerland. In due time our baseball players were "excluded" so far as any official connection with the United States team was concerned. Not in Parade Instead of living in the Olympic Village with the other world athletes they were billeted at the Tokyo YMCA. Instead of marching in the opening ceremonies parade they watched their fellow Americans from the stands. Neither Fehring nor coach Rod Dedeaux cared to discuss the subject.

"I'd rather not make a big project out of it," said Fehring. The players didn't mind making known their feelings.

This means that the Rams have a chance, and maybe something more, depending on whether their six starting rookies can meet the challenge of a veteran team ac customed to winning in the fourth quarter. Ram arks Belated recognition: Carver Shannon, whose kickoff and punt returns gave the Rams excellent field position in the 49er game: Deacon Jones, a consistent force in rattling the San Francisco quarterbacks, and Danny Villanueva, who held his own in a punting duel wnn Tommy Davis, averaging 52 yards a kick.

Thats the ominous word straight from the Bears, who help USC open the conference chase Saturday in the Coliseum. They're not just building him up, either. Even Wayne Hardin, who is the coach of Navy's Roger Staubach, was quoted after the Bears' 27-13 win last Saturday as saying, "Morton is the best college passer I've ever seen." And Trojan headman John McKay commented, af ter watching films of Morton in action this year, "I've nev- Illustrated on Page 1, Part III er seen a guy tnrow like he is now. I'm not taking anything away from Ray Wiil- sey, but their olfense looks like one of those 'everybody out and I'll find you'. And Morton does.

He gets hit but he's strong enough to still get the ball away." Perhaps the supreme com pliment came unintentioa-j ally from Dick Butkus. Il linois' All American linebacker. After Morton completed 24 of 34 passes and came within a chaiknne of beating the Rose Bowl champs, Butkus is supposed to have said Craig was tipping off his passes and they knew who he was going to throw to! Miuoier nds I'umiecieu on oi of 134 tosses for 958 and seven touchdowns. Only three pitches have been intercepted, and the Bears say all three pickoffs were sort of freakish. Judgment Excellent The 6-4, 215-pound senior has never fallen below a averasrp this season al- though he was subjected to, all-out rushes bv Illinois Minnesota and Navy.

One of the reasons for his improvement doubtless tif thic -aa tho tw WIU kilt, illOV Wi he took part in spring prac tice, having given up baseball. "He's matured, too." reported publicist Bob Steiner. "And 1 mean mentally, not physically. His judgment is excellent." The Bears got the shakes a couple weeks ago in Miami when Morton twisted his tender knee, but before the Navy game he told Steiner that he felt in better condition than he ever had been. Running Banned Craig has been throwins; to end Jack Schraub since thev were little kids! and his chum has caught 6l fnr varris snri nnp Tn a this year.

But the gunner isn't choosy eight other Bears have been on the re ceiving end. Flankers Jerry Mosher and Jerry Bradley, the latter a 146 pound sophomore, have hauled in three touchdown tosses apiece. It was Bradley who caught the one against Illinois that didn't count because he came down on the chalkline in the end zone. Willsey has ordered Morton not to run if he can help it. But Craig scored on a quarterback sneak against Navy and once scrambled for an 18-yard gain.

Maybe he just wanted to steal some of Staubach's stuff. AFL All-Star Game NEW YORK (UPI) The fourth annual American Football League All -Star game will be played in New Orleans' Sugar Bowl Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 16. Next Pipeful I i College Water Polo fi rmi(v. mr 1 I Bob Berry of Oregon.

"It still has been a wonderful experience in spite of this." The thing that intrigued the Americans in their play here, was the pitching of the Japanese collegians. The first hurler they faced was loshitaka ki-hara, a right hander from i University who starts his throws from down around his right shoe-top. "We call him a submarine pitcher," said Fujita, "but he's the only one we have who throws like that. Most of our pitchers throw from what you call a three-quarters sidearm." Mixed Fitches Shaun Fitzmaurice of Notre Dame, who hit a home run off Kihara, said he never saw such a variety of pitches as the six Japanese moundsmen used in the doubleheader here.

"Knuckleball, slip pitch, slider. You name it and they throw it," said Shaun. "None of them is very fast but they are effective because they have great control and keep mixing up their pitches. "The average college player back home seldom has more than a couple of pitches the fast ball and a curve. These fellows have everything." Bill Williams, National League umpire who came here as a representative of president Warren Giles, was promptly named supervisor of umpires by Fujita.

No Stolen Bases "I think they did this so my feelings wouldn't be hurt," said Bill. "They don't allow professional i to work college games." Williams pointed out that the pitcher is allowed to stop anywhere in his delivery and throw to pick off a base runner, virtually eliminating stolen bases. "I argued that this was a balk but they vetoed me," Williams laughed. Tod Choice currently tne No. 1 team the nation.
