ASSOCIATED PRESS Green Bay defensive lineman Gilbert Brown (93) moves to plug the hole and stop Bears running back Lewis Tillman during the Packers 33-6 victory Monday night in Chicago.

Packers point to future Sun Prairie has 6 on all-Big Eight only 2,082 yards, best in the NFL. Dallas is next with 2,104. The Packer offense is eighth in the NFC with 2,442 yards gained. In the NFC playoff race, Dallas, San Francisco, Minnesota and Philadelphia have the inside track on four of the six berths. Green Bay is among four 4-4 teams that could get the other slots.

"Right now we can beat anybody we play, defensive end Reggie White said after Monday nights win. Wolf said thats the kind of thinking he likes. We cant just look at Buffalo and Dallas and say were automatically going to be 6-6 or 5-7 just because were playing them, he said. Weve got to play them all." Meanwhile, the Packers claimed comerback Keshon Johnson from the Chicago Bears on waivers. Johnson, in his second NFL season out of Arizona, had six tackles in a reserve role this Continued from Page IB happy-go-lucky and fun to be around.

But hes got a great work ethic, too. I think its amazing a true freshman can come in and play at defensive back. He has really turned the coachs head, I along with our heads. Hes going to be fun to watch the next couple of years. Campbell has spent more time watching and learning than playing this season.

But he has been contributing on the special I teams. And he has been used as a nickel back. That was Campbells role last Saturday at Michigan. He was also used as a decoy. The Wolverines like to keep a 12th player in the offensive huddle as long as possible, thereby hampering a defense from substituting and making adjustments to personnel.

To counter Gary Moellers strategy, Alvarez shuffled Campbell on and off the field. In some cases, he would run out to the defense and then run back to the sideline as soon as Michigan broke its huddle. When he was on, the Badgers were in a nickel package and defensive tackle Bryan Jurewicz was usually out. When he was off, the Badgers were in their base defense. A little chess game, Alvarez said.

And I thought he (Campbell) did a good job when we played nickel. Campbell didnt mind being a part of the gamesmanship as long as I was helping. And, again, he credited his teammates with helping him through the transition. I have confidence in myself, Campbell said, but I didnt think I would be playing (as a freshman). The players and the coaches have helped me a lot.

They trust me enough to put me on the field and Ill do whatever they ask me to do. Campbell did a little of everything for the Strath Haven High School football team. He was uti-ized as a linebacker, safety and wide receiver. He also excelled in track, placing second in the long jump and third in the triple jump at the state meet. Despite his athleticism, he wasnt heavily recruited largely because he wasnt very large.

Camp-jell is listed at 170 pounds but he ooks closer to 150. He was over-ooked, too, because he didnt go out for football until his junior year. UW assistant coach Jim Hueber las many ties in the Philly area. Joreover, he knew the Strath laven coach so he knew what the ladgers would be getting in Campbell. Through the first eight games, Campbell has been discovering what he can and cant get away with as a defensive back at the Division I level.

Everybody here is fast, everybody here can catch, Campbell said. You have to be on your toes the time. You cant slouch off any play." That will be true Saturday at Ohio State where the Badgers fully xpect to run into tailback Eddie George, who has been slowed by ankle injury. George is from Philly. Eddie George? Yeah, Eddie George, said Campbell, finally making the connection.

He was ad in high school. When I was Philly, all I did was read about rim. He was great. And he still is ood. Call him a fast learner.

GREEN BAY (AP) The Green Bay Packers have the NFLs top defense after Monday nights 33-6 win at Chicago, but theres no time for gloating. The victory gave the Packers a 4-4 record halfway through the regular season, and that means the team still has a long way to go to earn a spot in the playoffs. Theres no question that if we want to entertain thoughts of playing beyond Dec. 24, we have to win games right now, general manager Ron Wolf said. We know we have to win our share of games.

The coaches were busy Tuesday mapping strategy for Sundays game with the Detroit Lions at Milwaukee County Stadium. After that, the Packers play the New York Jets at Lambeau Field the next Sunday. Then they face a big three-game challenge, meeting the Bills at Buffalo Nov. 20, the Cowboys at Lions up next for Green Bay Dallas on Thanksgiving Day and the Lions at Detroit Dec. 4.

Wolf said the win Monday was a good start. It was an important win. That type of win will help any team, he said. I think all facets of our team were pretty good. Now we need to continue to execute and go out and play football.

Green Bay adjusted to cold, rain and mud to grind out 223 rushing yards, led by 105 yards by Edgar Bennett, who ran for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass from Brett Favre. It was the Packers best team rushing performance since they ran for 232 yards against Tampa Bay in 1985. Team statistics showed the Packer defense now has given up PREP FOOTBALL Perles gets protective order 'IIS Pfl Ml Zander Antony League co-champions Sun Prairie and Beloit Memorial each placed six players on the all-Big Eight football team selected by conference media representatives. Sun Prairie had three players named on defense and three on offense, including repeat selections Jason Zander and Ben Antony. Zander, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound tackle, and Antony, a 6-4, 195-pound wide receiver, were joined by quarterback Ryan Klongland on the offensive team.

Klongland was named first team quarterback despite a shoulder injury in the sixth game which sidelined him for the rest of the season. The threesome helped Sun Prairie lead the league in offense at 320.5 yards per game. Linebackers Tom Culbertson and Todd Schiltz and defensive back Brian Kuehn were named on defense for the Cardinals. Sun Prairies defense posted four shutouts and allowed just 53 points in eight conference games. Running back Darius Morrow and 6-2, 262-pound guard Chris Terwilliger were named on offense for Beloit, while defensive end Jeremy Jorgenson, lineman Scott Swanson, linebacker Matt Jacobson and defensive back Pat Brickson were named on defense for the Purple Knights.

Beloit allowed just 43 points defensively in eight league games. Brickson, a 6-foot, 174-pound senior, was named the leagues player of the year. Sun Prairie and Beloit tied for the league championship with 7-1 records. The Cardinals beat the Purple Knights 10-9 in their showdown game Sept. 30.

Middleton handed Sun Prairie its lone league loss. Middleton, playing for the first year in the Big Eight, had running back Jared Schwert, linemen Matt Lust and Dan He-wuse, and placekicker Kurt Es-senmacher named to the first team offense. Schwert, a 5-7, 165-pound senior, rushed for 1,429 yards and 17 touchdowns for the third-place Cardinals. Sun Prairie coach Mike Hahn was named coach of the year. ESPN said today that Wagner called the cable network to say he never spoke with The News and never stalked Perles.

Calls to ESPN in Bristol, were answered by a man who said no one was available for comment on the report. Wagner, who attended Michigan State from 1988 to 1991, told The News he plotted to kidnap and kill Perles after he was passed over in the 1992 NFL draft. He accused Perles of engineering the snub and said he followed the coach home for two days in April 1992, carrying two loaded pistols. The 24-year-old former lineman from Ravenna, Ohio, said he gave up the idea after concluding that Perles would dictate the rest of your life if you did something like that. The News said no one witnessed the alleged stalking.

The Ingham County prosecutors office is aware of Wagners stalking claim, but it predates the Januaty 1993 state law against stalking, chief assistant prosecutor Kim Eddie said. Theres no crime by the word itself, he said. EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) George Perles has a court order protecting him against an explayer who said he contemplated killing the Michigan State coach. Authorities say theres little they can do for Perles in the meantime.

Ingham County circuit judge Michael Harrison issued a restraining order Tuesday requiring that Roosevelt Wagner stay away from Perles and his family at both the coachs campus office and his home in Okemos. Michigan State has begun an internal investigation of alleged NCAA rules infractions. The probe began in response to Wagners claims that some players received cash payments and kept their eligibility by having their grades fixed. Wagner then told The Detroit News in a report Tuesday that he once plotted to kill Perles. Eddie said if Wagner ignores the court order to stay away from Perles, then prosecutor Donald Martin could consider charges.

Perles referred calls about the incident to university officials. A Michigan State spokesman didnt immediately return calls seeking comment. Wagner leveled nearly 70 allegations of rules violations at Michigan State, including cash payments to players from team boosters and grades changed to keep players eligible. The State Journal reported the allegations Sunday and Monday. Perles, whose Spartans have a record of 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten, said he runs a superclean program, but such allegations must be investigated.

University president M. Peter McPherson ordered the university to appoint an independent coinvestigator to review the charges. Its the third in-house probe of alleged athletic infractions at Michigan State in four years. Edgewoods Jennings leads all-city team By Dennis Semrau CROSSCOUNTRY Jordan roasted, toasted in glitzy farewell bash and West. A representative from each school also received the first Spirit Award.

Individuals were judged on their contributions to their teams in leadership, motivation and team spirit.

The Capital Times Gabe Jennings, the Madison Metropolitan School District champion, topped the annual boys all-city cross country team, which was honored Tuesday night at Edgewood High School. Jennings, a sophomore who transferred from Jefferson High School last summer, also finished eighth at the W1AA Division 1 meet Saturday. Jennings was just 15 seconds behind the overall winner. Jim Marschalek of Memorial, who was third at the city meet, is a repeat selection on the all-city team. Marschalek won the Reeds-burg Sectional individual title and was 12th at the state meet, leading the Spartans to a runnerup finish.

Memorial placed six runners on the all-city team, including Brian Webb and Nate Bartlett, who were repeat selections, Brendan Scholz, Guabe Garcia-Jones and Zach Steffen. This is representative of how strong our team was this season, said Memorial coach Stan Richter, whose Spartans also won city, conference and sectional titles. "We really worked hard together and to see the team succeed made it all worthwhile. Brennan Connors of West and Matt Perkins of Edgewood were also repeat selections on the team which was selected by city coaches from East, Edgewood, Holy Name, La Follette, Memonal They unveiled a bronze 1 li2-foot statute of Jordan outside the United Center on Tuesday night and also raised his familiar No. 23 to the ceiling.

They showered him with gifts, some from the old Chicago Stadium that he personally rocked so many times. When I made the decision I was fixed with that, pretty firm with it," Jordan said. A lot of things lingered on, certain expectations maintained the possibility that I might come back. With that number hanging up, that puts that to rest. Ive got to move on.

Theres a new team here. Im playing baseball. Jordan, whose face is familiar worldwide with a series of endorsements that has made him one of the richest athletes of all time, ended the festivities by hoisting his number to the ceiling as his three children stood by. My kids helped me raise the banner. That's something I will treasure and remember forever, Jordan said.

Before his number was raised, Jordan was left alone on the stage, listening to a familiar refrain a thunderous standing ovation that lasted nearly three minutes. I was able to excel through every stage to get to this point, said Jordan, who became emotional as he mentioned his father, who was murdered in 1993. CHICAGO (AP) Michael Jordan on center stage? Of course. Where else would he be in a city that re- veres his every move and will forever savor the memories of the greatest basketball player the world has ever seen? Thirteen months after his stunning re-! tirement from the Chicago Bulls, Jordan found himself surrounded on a basketball court Tuesday night by friends, fellow ce- lebrities, former coaches, one-time adversa-! ries, teammates, fans and family during an orchestrated-for-TV farewell bash. He was roasted.

He was toasted. The glitzy celebration on TNT was a little much at times for instance, Sinbad, the comedian, sharing the stage with Dean Smith, the college coach but provided a sense of closure to a basketball career that began 15 years ago after Jordan was cut from his high school team. So much followed. A game-winning shot in the NCAA championship game for North Carolina, two Olympic gold medals, three NBA titles, a 32.3-point NBA scoring average, three regular-season Most Valuable Player Awards, three more MVPs in the NBA Finals. Jordan, as he has done numerous times, reiterated that his basketball career was qver and his baseball career is still in the making.

The Bulls perhaps believe it. 1 PARK PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS A ISPORTSCARDSHOW SUNDAY NOV 6: 10 AM-4PM QUALITY INN $0-4916 E.
