Theory I LI fj son like me comes in." Roach comes into Green Bay at a time when the Packer offense needs help. Starr's main task as the new Packer head coach will be to revitalize the offense, which makes his choice of Roach, 45, as his right hand man particularly meaningful. "None of us wants to talk very much about what went on here before," said Roach "but it's not difficult for anyone to see that some areas of the offense need improvement. I'd say the passfng game is the No. 1 place.

"Right now we're spending just about all our time looking at film. I see some good things and some By MARK SHAPIRO State Journal Sports Writer On the football teams he helps coach, Paul Roach is the brains of the outfit. It was that way at the University of Wyoming, where Roach was Lloyd Eaton's chief offensive assistant. It was that way at Wisconsin, where Roach called virtually all the Badgers' plays for two seasons. It was that way with the Oakland Raiders, where Roach was backfield coach, and chief offensive aide.

And it will be that way with the Green Bay Packers, who named Roach offensive coordinator 10 days ago. "I'm going to have a lot of rer sponsibility in Green Bay; that's why I came here," Roach said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "Bart Starr's the head coach, and he'll make all the final decisions. But I'm going to have a lot of ideas and influence. We'll sit down and discuss each situa-i tion, what we think should be done, All the offensive coaches will give their ideas, and Bart'U choose.

"A head coach needs a staff to give him advice during the week and help him during the games. The game of football is too complicated for one or two men to handle it. That's where a per not-sogood things. This team has some fine offensive people. I think we're capable of doing very-well next year, and all of us around here are excited about the season." According to Roach, the Packers will go into the 1975 season with some plusses, and some concerns.

"Having a guy like John Hadl at quarterback has to be a big help," Roach said. "One of the reasons Oakland was so successful was because it always had a good, experienced quarterback. I don't think you can win without one, and I know Green Bay has had some quarterback problems the last couple of years. If John's still got some zip left in his arm, I think we'll be all right there. "Green Bay's had some inexperienced receivers, which helped.

The offensive line had a lot of injuries last year, which hurts both your running and passing game. If those things get better, we'll be all right." Those who suggest that the Packer offease needs a complete overhaul are going to get their wish. "We're going to start from scratch," Roach said. "We're meeting and formulating our ideas right now, and we'll be boiling themdown into plays very soon. We'll put in about 30-50 running plays and as many pass plays.

"By April, when we go to work with the rookies, we should have at least a basic playbook, and we'll have the whole thing by training camp, of course." Roach admits, however, that to the casual observer the offense might not look much different in 1975 than it has in the past. "All teams do a lot of the same things," Roach agreed. "But there are some big differences between systems. The twt main differences are in terminology.

victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The victory helped take some of the sting out of the Bucks 103-101 loss to New Orleans Sunday night, pulling them within one game of .500, but saw Milwaukee remain seven and a half games behind Midwest Division-leading Chicago as the Bulls ripped Los Angeles, 12(5-105. The victory also was tainted by the possible loss of Kareem Ab-dul-Jabbar. Jabbar played less than three quarters after sustaining a hip injury following a collision with an unidentified knee. Jabbar was removed from the game, encountering stiffness and an inability to move freely, and had ice administered on the bench.

He returned to the game later, but was limping badly at the end of the contest, and was removed with about one minute to go. The extent and particular type of injury were not immediately known. Jabbar wound up with 19 lxiints, on eight of 17 field goal attempts, well below his season 30.7 scoring average. It was only the second time this season Jabbar has scored less than 20 points, the first coming in his season debut against the New York Knicks following injuries to his eye and hand in an exhibition ft 1 1 'I' I I) I if ll i 'frmmi tvv ivft tfW'i CAM if nff WW mmMmtMitm 'run iiT i HifLfii i i if wf 'ie---' vr-'- f-- ft Wisconsin Marty Calden works on Terry Landowski of Whitewater.

May's basket came just seconds after Wisconsin's Ellen Mason had tied the game on a 20-foot Jumper. The Badgers held a slight advantage in the first half and pulled to a 33-31 lead at the in-; termission. Whitewater, however, managed to control a slight advantage in the second half of the non-conference game and, although no team ever led by more than four points, got the final say. Whitewater's May led all scorers with 16 points, getting support in the form of 15 points from Carol Ross and 13 from Julie Michel. Wisconsin (9-6) was led by who had 12, followed by Marty Calden with 11.

In the varsity reserve game, Whitewater's Barb Login scored a game-high 17 points but, couldn't pull her team through as the Badgers knocked off the Warhawks, 45-43.

"They challenge you from the time you touch the ball.

Just as soon as you get It off the board, they have a guy there to challenge you. "They totally take you away from anything you want to establish. That's the way defense should be played, no question about it." Indiana completely controlled Wisconsin's starting front line, limiting the three starters to just four baskets. There was no despair, however, and I'owless did see some things he liked. Freshman Bill Pearson played with confidence that belied his yearling status, scoring 10 points and leading the Badgers with 10 rebounds.

"Pearson didn't take a back seat to anybody," I'owless said "(Bob) Johnson didn't either. In fact, he might have Intimidated anybody to contain his penetration. "We could have won at Ohio State," he repeated. "Last (Monday) night there was no way. Indiana Is truly a great team, one of the best I've seen in the 10 or 12 years I've been around the league.

"They've got a lot of players, but the key is that big guy in the middle (Benson). He goes up there with physical authority. "But, we can't come out of there and let it affect us in the remaining games, Some teams have come out of there down by 50 and 60 points." Trio Badgers put their weekend losses behind them Tuesday and geared for coming home games against Michigan State and Michigan. Both teams won two games last weekend and own identical 8-5 records In the Big HI and 15-6 overall.

If he kcrps adding to his game, he's going to lx' a player for us. "When the ball went up on the board, Bill was right up there to get it with Benson.

He gained a lot of resixt't from people down there. "Augie (assistant coach Dave VanderMeulen) has been working with him to bond his knees like lie's going into a power leap and draw the defensive player into him for a foul. He's improving." Two nights earlier, the Badgers lost at Ohio State, 76-70. They outscorod the Buckeyes from the field, but couldn't sink enough free throws. "We played well enough to win that one," Powless shrugged, "but we couldn't convert at the free throw line.

He replied, "If they allowed us to put a sixth and seventh man on the floor against their five, I don't know that we could have done it even then." Tuesday afternoon I'owless reflected on Indiana's 25th straight victory this season and continually expressed admiration for the No. 1 -ranked Hoosiers. "Last (Monday) night was tough to survive," he said, "They're just awesome.

We ran a five-man weave and they kept us 18 feet from the basket. We couldn't get closer. "We couldn't put the Iwll In the basket," the Badger coach continued.
