Browns, Packers To Clash Sun day By Ed Wilks The Associated Press The Cleveland Browns and the Green Bay Packers pick up their neglected a i a Football League rivalry Sunday in a game that figures in the title fights of both the Eastern and Western conferences. The Browns and the Packers, who have met only once since the NFL absorbed the All-America Conference in 1949, are snarled in first place deadlocks in their respective loops.

Cleveland and the Pittsburgh Steelers top the Eastern with 3-1 marks. Green Bay, the Los An- ers at New York to play the Giants, the Chicago Bears in San Francisco to meet the 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago against the Cardinals. The big one, however, is at Cleveland since it pairs two leaders. The Browns smothered the Packers 27-0 in 1953, the only time they've met in a regular season game, and have beaten Green Bay in five exhibition contests. Cleveland's favored by 7 in this one.

It boils down to a passing battle between the Browns' Otto Graham and the Packers' Tobin Rote and a contest between two placement experts, Cleveland's Lou Groza pona. Baker scratched out a 14-13 Kansas Conference decision over Bethany at Lindsborg. The Piltsburg-Washburn game was a thriller with long touchdown runs. Washburn had scoring sprints of 67 yards by Cleveland Jones and 78 yards by Charles Mimiick nullified by penalties. Pittsburg State scored in the second quarter.

Then Washburn quickly went ahead 7-6 on a 79-yard run by Jones. On the third play of the second half Pittsburg's Spencer Carter swept 51 yards for the winning touchdown. Baker outplayed Bethany deci sively, despite the narrow squak, and had the ball on Bethany's 2 when the game ended. Miller 67 yard touchdown run for Baker was the big play of the game. geles Rams and the Baltimore and Green Bay's Fred Cone.

He had set this one up with a 16-yard run when he couldn't get off a pass. In between this one-man exhibition, Illinois' fleet backfield, with Harry Jefferson the spark, kept up a brilliant attack, frequently from intricate spread formations. A capacity homecoming crowd of 41,851 saw the game, played in ideal weather.

The victory gave Michigan State a 2-1 record and kept alive the tans' title hopes. Illinois now has been twice beaten and is out of Notre Dame Turns Back Purdue, 22-7 By Dale Burgess LAFAYETTE, Oct. 22 (AP) Alert Notre Dame, raging after a defeat by Michigan State, turned Purdue'B passing attack into a suicide weapon and avenged its only 1954 defeat today, 22-7, before a Ross-Ade Stadium record crowd of 55,500. The Irish capitalized on two Purdue fumbles and an intercepted pass to tally their three touchdowns. Outweighed 25 pounds per man up front, Notre Dame came up with its unbalanced line in modern times and pushed the hulking Sunday, October 23, 1955 Page Sdtea Jouml Army 45, Columbia 0 Boilermakers all over the ground.

Notre Dame turned a Purdue fumble and an intercepted pass into third quarter touchdowns that broke a 7-7 tie. Irish quarterback Gaul Hornung also started the first drive by recovering a fumble. Re pulled down another Purdue pass en his 20 to stop a promising Purdue drive in the same period. Fullback Don Schaefer and halfbacks Dean Studer and Aubrey Lewis scored Notre Dame's touchdowns on short runs. Schaefer kicked two extra points.

Quarterback Len Dawson passed 13 yards to end Leonard Zyzda for Purdue's single touchdown in the second quarter after Schaefer plunged over for the Irish in the first. Dawson also converted the extra point. Notre Dame's ferocious rushing of Dawson set up a safety late in ihe period. Dawson was smeared epeatedly and the Boilermakers found themselves with a fourth down 50 yards to go on their 11. The pass from center sailed over Dawson's head into the end zone.

Saturday Is Rockne Day SOUTH BEND, Oct. 22 Notre Dame's football game with Navy, here next Saturday was designated the Knute K. Rockne memorial game today by Edward W.

Army's varsity, stung by successive losses to Michigan and Syracuse, played less than half the game. But reserves such as Lash, Frank Burd and Bob Munger proved even more damaging.

Lash's high-stepping sprint came with 15 seconds left in the opening half on the first play from scrimmage after Army had taken a punt. He reversed his field twice, sneaked out of at least two traps and galloped across-the goal.

By Bill Burke The game of football, which was originated sometime during the llth century and perfected in the rnid-20th century by an Oklahoma institution, once had hundreds of players on each side. Things were pretty tough on the players, spectators and court scribes during the early days of the game, so teams were gradually narrowed to the 11-man squads of today. However, the smaller schools often do not have enough manpower to field an ll-man squad, together with the reserves needed. So, a few years back, 6-man football was introduced and flourishes in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.

But the latest brain-child of the grid game is 5-man football, designed primarily for grade schools but played by some high schools in the east. James J. Rafferty, Johnstown, is the author of the 5-man game. Manpower problems and equipment costs led to its organization. new game is economical, yet one that has the same tackling, blocking, running, passing and kicking that is featured in an ll-man contest.

Since the first game was played at Johnstown in 1951, there have been 135 contests without a major injury. The field is 25 yards wide, as compared with the 53 1-3 yard width of today's standard gridirons. The offensive team must have three players on the line of scrimmage, while two stay in the Burke backfield. Only the ends are eligible to receive a pass. The playing time each quarter for grade schools is six minutes, for junior high teams eight minutes and for high schools 10 minutes.

The average squad consists of 10 players. The new game has the backing of Lou Little of Columbia, and Tom Hamilton, Pittsburgh, and had the support of the late Pop Warner. Over 2000 sets of rules have been distributed to schools and clubs over the nation. Any school or civic club interested in establishing 5-man football for grade school youths may obtain the rules by contacting James J. Rafferty, Athletic Director, Greater Johnstown Parochial Schools, Johnstown, Pa.

it A member of one of Salina's civic clubs approached me the other day and asked if it is not possible to get a football program for grade school youths organized in Salina. "I know it costs to buy equipment," he said, "but I believe our civic clubs could afford it. We have a good kid baseball league organized and the schools and YMCA have fine basketball teams. What we need now is football for the boys." The subject has come up before but no action was taken on the matter." But this new 5-man football game, which is inexpensive, might just be the answer to a football program for Salina youth. Athletic committees of various civic clubs might discuss the matter among themselves and decide if the time is ripe for ll-man, 6-man or 5-man teams, Rafferty could be contacted for instructions if the 5-man game is considered.

Although it is too late to get a league organized this year, it may be possible to start something by 1956. spring from small savings accounts.
