And the Packers seem to have gotten one of their biggest assists from a former Vanderbilt star named Billy Wade, who engineered the Los Angeles Rams to a 10-3 victory over the Colts Sunday. Wade ran 66 yards for the deciding touchdown as the Rams prevented the defending world champions from tieing the Packers for first place in the West. Green Bay broke a three-way tie Saturday, sloshing to a 13-0 victory over San Francisco in the mud of Kezar Stadium. However, the Colts' "loss, and a 23-14 Detroit victory over Dallas has created another three way tie this time for second place in the conference. Baltimore, San Francisco and the Lions, each 6-5, trail Green Bay by a game.

Los Angeles got its crown Saturday before the home folks, beating Denver 41-33 Houston clinched the Eastern crown yesterday with a 31-23 triumph over Buffalo, also before the hometowners. New York beat Oakland 31-28 in the last four minutes and Dallas bombed Boston 34-0 in other games yesterday. Expect Cold Liberty Bowl PHILADELPHIA (ff) Despite a heavy snow in Philadelphia and sub-freezing temperatures today, Bud Dudley, promoter of the Liberty Bowl, appeared optimistic that clear weather would prevail Saturday for the football battle between Penn State and Oregon.

Dudley said he checked several wv iviu Wl lilt VUtl J.t who stand 9-4 with one game left. His titanic field goal was the longest in the AFL's first season. Title Clincher Los Angeles (9-4) had to sweat for its title clincher, coming from behind three times, before capitalizing on a poor punt midway in the last period. Quarterback Jack Kemp engineered a 9-play, 35-yard drive, capping it with a 1-yard plunge New York quarterback Al Dorow also had a field day, throwing three touchdown passes, the last a 20- yarder to Dewey Bohling for the final points. He also scored once Bill Shockley's 27-yard field goal in the third period turned out to be the margin of difference.

Tom Flores also threw scoring passes of 14, 19, and 3 yards while one of Dorow's was a 73-yard play to Art Powell. Powell also scored on a 5 yard toss. Dallas used some long-distance plays in its victory over Boston. Duane Wood ran 66 yards with an intercepted pass for a score, Johnny Davidson passed 32 to Chris Burford for a third. Weather For Tilt Saturday which will be televised nationally by NBC, holds 100,000.

Last year, according to Dudley, Penn State and Alabama each took home $98,000 while the Liberty Bowl Association's profits amounted to some $3,000. Ticket Sales Dudley said that thus far the Although Penn State hasn't re ported yet on its sale of tickets, Dudley said there is a good chance they may be able to reach 10,000 or 12,000 compared to 8,500 last year. He said one reason for this was that last year's Christmas recess at Penn State fell before the game whereas this year it comes four days after the game. Thus, he fig ures more students will make the 100-mile trip to Philadelphia from University Park, tcr take in the contest. NEW YORK (AP)-Benny (Kid) Paret, winner of- his first welterweight title defense, already is eyeing the middleweight title.

At least that's what his man ager, Manuel Alfaro, said today he had in mind following the aggressive Cuban's crowd-pleasing, unanimous decision over Argentina's Federico Thompson at Madison Square Garden and over television Saturday night. The 23-year-old Cuban is a hot property now in the talent-scarce boxing industry. Alfaro knows it, too. The manager mentioned a battle of champions with NBA middleweight king Gene Fullmer after Garden matchmaker Teddy Brenner offered a March title fight with the winner of next Saturday's Luis Rodriguez-Emile Griffith clash.

Although he failed to connect for a TD, Unitas gained 182 yards through the air and broke the NFL one-season record for yards gained passing with 2,939. That eclipsed Sammy Baugh's 1947 mark by one yard.

Not that they did bad Saturday night. With the $50,000 TV fee added to the esti mated $20,000 gate receipts from 6,000 fans, Paret earned about $26,000, his largest purse. Thompson collected $13,000 also his biggest purse. Paret, at 147 pounds, was sharp and fast. He swarmed all over his 32-year-old, 145Vi pound foe with a two-fisted attack that seldom left Thompson with enough punching room to exert all his power.

There were no knockdowns. The Cuban was a 6-5 favorite. He has a 33-7-3 record. Thompson's three-year unbeaten streak was snapped at 32. His record is 100-8-9.

Liston, 27, has avenged his lone defeat and scored knockouts in 20 of his 30 victories. He is the top rated challenger for Floyd Patterson's title. 16 Arrests As far as police are concerned, Liston has a record of 16 arrests in St. Louis and two major convictions on pleas of guilty. They were for robberies in 1950 and assaulting a policeman in 1956.

John G. Bonomi, special counsel to the subcommittee, threw a screen around the ex-champion who faces questioning. Although he knew of no threats, Bonomi said that naming the witness in advance might expose him to physical harm.

Investigators want to know more about the reported covery of underworld figures behind Liston, who has a lengthy police record to go with his sensational 30-1 ring record.

The Senate subcommittee inquiring into undercover skullduggery in boxing heard a St. Louis police officer testify last week that Liston's manager, Joseph (Pep) Barone of Allentown, is a mere front for mobster Frankie Carbo, Frank (Blinky) Palermo, St. Louis thug John J.
