And Hurt similarity in tactics Is not due to chance, for Barnes and Warmath both learned their foot ball at Tennessee under Gen. Bob Neyland who worked his defenses like he was deploying troop for a. military engagement. '"Both Bill and I were trained to concentrate on the dofensive game," Warmath explained Fri day at the 32nd annual Rose Bowl klckoff luncheon. "Wo hone our defense on Monday will prove rough and tough. And, like Gen. Neyland taught us, we bolieve in the kicking game to help get into enemy territory." Barnes said he did not expect that his UCLA team would sur prise Minnesota because War math was as versed in and fa miliar with the singlo wing as any man coaching. "But we expect to field a team that is ready for action," de clared Barnoa. ."We don't try to hide anything. Wo just try to make it work."

(UPI) -Coach Vince Lombard and his Green Bay Packers were rooting today for the weather to come up "mild Sunday for their Na tional Football League title game against the New York Giants, and it looked like their players would be answered. The likelihood of a solid field raised the championship prospects of the Packers, who more than any team in the NFL this season depended on a ground attack for their yardage. "If the field is right, we should win," reiterated Lombardi at Fri day's workout In 10 degree tem perature. He agreed that a slip pery or frozen field would benefit thj Giants "because their pass re ceivers would have better control than our defensive backs. However, the weather forecast made all this speculation appear academic. Clear Weather Predicted The outlook was for a clear day with the temperature rising Into the 20s, which is 20 degrees higher than at mid-week and considered normal for this time of the year In Green Bay. Groundskeepers took the heavy layer of straw and the tarpaulin off a portion of the field Friday and the turf was as dry and as soft as mid-October. End Bill Quintan and halfback Jesse Whittenton, two Green Bay defensive stars, left the hospital beds where they had been bedded with flu and worked out with the team Friday. Qulnlan returned to the hospital overnight as a pre cautionary measure. The Packers, beaten in last year's NFL title playoff by the J Philadelphia Eagles, gave observ ers at their practice session the impression that they were ex tremely confident of beating the Giants Sunday. Green Bay is fa vored by three points. Pleased With Hornung Lombardi also was pleased by the way halfback Paul Hornung, this year's NFL player-of-the-year went through his practice paces. Hornung is on a week's leave from the Army at FL Riley, Kan. "Hornung looks a lot better since he started working out on Tuesday," Lombardi commented. "The tougher the game, the bet ter he plays." Jim Taylor, who gained 186 yards in the Packers' 20-17 victory over the Giants Dec. 3, is "doing much better and should be ready to go," Lombardi said. Taylor was running with a bruised hip. Also expected to be ready Sunday was defensive safety John Symank who had suffered rib injuries. AH of the Giants were in good shape, except for perhaps all league offensive tackle Roosevelt Brown, who still limped from a knee injury. Brown said, however, it was no worse than it had been for the past few games, UNDERWENT SURGERY ST. LOUIS (UPI) The St Louis Hawks may lose the serv ices of guard Johnny McCarthy for the rest of the National Bas ketball Association season. Mc Carthy underwent surgery on Thursday for torn ligaments and cartilage in his left knee and the team physician Dr. Stan London said yesterday it was doubtful he would play before next season.
