The awesome Aussies, who clinched the cup for the fourth straight year Thursday, also swept their matches against Italy in 1861. The Mexicans, though, put up a much stronger fight against tremendous odds and indicated they will have to be reckoned with in next year's cup competition when Austral ia won't have Laver and Fras er to carry the load.

Oregon State has never lost a Far West Classic game. Cal, playing without Wall, split a great two game scries at Cor vallis earlier this month. To night's ccntest should be a great one.

He also demonstrated his versatility by catching 31 passes for 331 yards and run ning back nine kickoffs an av erage of 26 yards each. The Bears made Bull their No. 1 choice in the draft last year and owner-coach George Halas explains why: "Bull combines power and elusiveness with fine balance. The best runner with balance I can think of now playing is Jon Arnett of the Los Angeles Rams. Well, Bull is bigger than Arnctt. And Bull hasn't reached his peak yet. "Bull fulfilled every expec tation I had of him and makes me look like a shrewd judge of college talent." In the vote of 42 writers who covered the past NFL season, Bull received 14 votes, compared to five for his clos est rookie rival, offensive tackle Merlin Olsen of Los Angeles.

Packers Leave For NY To Meet Giants By United Press International' The Green Bay Packers, pronounced "loose and ready" by their coach, flew today to New York where they'll try to become the sixth team in 29 years to win two successive National Football league crowns. The Packers, who dis mantled the New York Giants 37-0 in the title game a year ago here, were six-and-a-half point favorites to beat the New Yorkers again in the Sundav spectacular trom Yan kee Stadium that will be seen by a nationwide tele vision audience. Coach Vince Lombardi, who , freely predicted last year that t his club would ve victorious, ; was steering ocui estimates this time around. "My boys, including Horn ung, are healthy, and 1 feci we're ready for a good game," Lombardi said. He said he i:x nerlpH a maximum effort from the Giants, and it should , be "quite a game." Lombardi held a brief work out before putting his boys on the chartered airliner today, : and he planned another drill Saturday ai YanKce oiamuiu. All the players were equip ped with sneakers, and It was a good bet that the Packers might open the game with them if reports are true that the Yankee Stadium turf is frozen hard and slippery. Meanwhile, at Bear Moun tain, N.Y., Coach Al Sherman of the New York Giants hull ed on a pair of frost - nipped hands, cracked a joke to by standers and sighed a fervent hope that Sunday "doesn't come up wet." "They're as (it as they'll ever be," Sherman said alter the Giants had gone through a snappy hour and 19-minulc workout Thursday in 30-rie-grce weather at the foothills of snow-covered Bear Mountain. Daniel Reeves, Who Brought LA Rams West, RegainsControl Los Angeles -0JPU- The Los Angeles Rams football fran chise today was back in the hands of Daniel F. Reeves who brought the club here originally, sold the controlling interest now has purchased it (or $4.8 million. The Beverly Hills stock broker was scheduled lo seal the deal today by posting $1.2 million of the purchase price. To get back the National Football league club from the rival owners, Reeves put a value of 57.1 million, which meant he was bidding $4.8 million for tne two-iiuras in terest owned by Edwin W. Pauley, Fred Levy and Hal Selcy. 'lhe sealed bid auction was conducted Thursday by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozclle, a former general manager of the Rams, who announced that subject to approval o( league members. Reeves has regained control of the club. Reeves announced he would take over as general manager of the club immediately but he added that general man ager Elroy Hirsch, a former Rams star, could remain witn the club as long as he wanted. He said that no decision on the head coach's position would be made for a few weeks. Harland Svare took over as interim coach in the middle of the 1962 season when Bob Walcrfield resigned. Although the Rums ended up with a 1 -12 -1 record Reeves said, "As far as I can sec, Svare has done an ex cellent job." Reeves bought the then Cleveland Rams franchise in 1941 for $100,000 and trans ferred it to Los Angeles in 1946. The first season here was a disastrous one and in 1947 Pauley, Levy and Selcy were taken in as partners un der an agreement which called for them to underwrite the club's losses By 1950, however, the Rains became a financial suc cess with Reeves serving as president. But in 1955 lhe other owners, who held the controlling interest, called for Reeves lo step aside be cause they said his other busi ness interests prevented him from devoting enough tim running the club. Under a compromise agree ment first Rozclle and then Hirsch took over running the club with the general man ager getting unanimous con sent of the owners on all major decisions. That agreement expired last year and a court battle was threatened until Rozclle, as commissioner, got the owners to agree to the scaled bid auction to settle the dispute by ousting either one faction or the other. 6425 SPECIAL RD-7 CATERPILLAR Comp'? w;-h f tnopy 4 GOOO no 'ORD TRACTORS NASH FORD TO ACTOR .
