(AP) -Unless footballs fanciest battery Cecil Isbell, pitching, and Don Hutson, catching gets all fired hot tomorrow, you might as well wrap up the National Professional Leagues Western Division championship and hand it to the Chicago Bears for the third-straight year. This doesnt mean that the Bears automatically put the icing on the championship cake if-they knock off Green Bavs ponderous Packers on Wriglev Field in the headliner of tomorrows National League schedule. But since Detroits lamblike Lions, Clevelands chilly Rams and Jimmv Conzelmans Chicago Cardinals are all thats left in front of them the rest of the way home, the Bears look like a cake-walk once the Packers are past, MAIN ATTRACTION That's whv the Packers-Bears brawl is the main attraction of tomorrow's program. On the rest of the card, Washingtons Redskins figure to put a tighter grab on their Eastern Division title at the expense of the hard-luck New York Giants; Detroit and Cleveland clown around for the fun of it, and Brooklyn picks on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cardinals haven a game scheduled and the Pittsburgh Steelers are Riving Bill Dudley a dav off for his overtime work this fail.

The Bears have stifled National League opposition to the point where latest team statistics, released today, find them leading in the least number of opponents points and the least number of opponents first downs. In seven games the champions have surrendered exactly seventy points and 63 first downs. They also lead in the least number of gains; having kept the taall long enough against each foe td limit advances to 1233 yards. NO. YIELDING Of, course, a line which can be persuaded to yield only 402 yards rushing to seven opponents is an important factor in the champions' defense, mut basically the Bear svs-tem is controlling the ball, piling up points And keeping the pressure on.

Only the, Washington line comes close to the Bears record, Wee Wil Camilli Balks DOLPH CAMILLI, Yeteran first baseman with. the Brook lyn Dodgers, has declared ho will not return to major league baseball next spring. Dolph wants a job in the where he will be close to his ranch and his large fam iiy. on plans -for a new -titleholder. The NBA's latest ratings recognized Allie of Newark, and Tippy Larkin, of Garfield.

N. as logical contenders. Stolz lost a disputed decision to Angott in a title bout last May. Larkin, Greene disclosed, already has filed a claim to the weeks ago he appeared before the NBA president anticipating Angotts failure to meet a challenger within the prescribed six-month limit' between title defenses. and presented his claim.

He based It. on the fact that he has lost but one fight to a lightweight former Champion Lew-Jenkins and holds five virtories over Welterweight Champion. Red Cochrane. LAST DEFENSE Jones' wire notifying Ihe NBA of Angotts retirement was In reply to an Inquiry Green sent him asking the champion's plans for his next title defense. His last defense was against Stolz on May 15.

Mr. Yost's wordwas by way of being law in those great days of Ann Arbor athletics.

If he boycotted the mobile Celts, they stayed boycotted. I do not mean to say that Mr. YoH applied the chill to Notre Dame out of petty. resentment He was and is a man of Spacious character and broad idealy, and a little thing like a defeat Would not disturb him. At ieastAnot much.

I have seen Mr. Yost replay a lost ball game, with the help of a bridge lamp and a visitor's hat, as long as six hour consecutively. On the other hand, I have seen him replay the victories just as long. He took the bitter with the sweet, and there was always a great deal more of jthe latter to be taken during the old man's con-sulship at Michigan.
