Defense was the key to their climb to the National Football League title. This year, things could be different. Just ask that same defense, the victim of a 24-0 decision by the offense Thursday night. "It's the best I've ever seen it at this stage," said nine-year veteran Ray Nitschke. "It's faster, sharper, further advanced and gets off the ball faster than at any time since I've been here." "Thist is the quickest I've ever seen our offense at this time of the year," said Henry Jordan, a 10-year veteran.

"And our defensive line is just Daily Northwestern as quick. Its all due to everyone coming back in condition. We didnt have to waste time getting into shape." One offensive man, third year center Ken Bowman, wasn't quite as enthusiastic. "Our timing is still a bit slow-both offensively and defensively," Bowman said. "We weren't getting off the ball the way we should." However, Coach Vince Lom-bardi tended to side the defense's opinion-especially in regard to last year's title game stars, Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor.

"Hornung and Taylor are the best I've ever seen them this early in the season," Lombardi said. "They've quicker, stronger and in better physical shape."

Mantle, whose brittle legs have kept him from becoming perhaps the greatest player in baseball history, crashed the 494th home run of his career leading the Yankees to a 2-1 victory over Chicago. The upper-deck blow, his 21st of the season, put Mantle past the mark of 493 set by Lou Gehrig and left Mickey second in Yankee history to Babe Ruth who ended his career with 714 homers. Mantle, who at 34 doesn't like being called an "old man" and -doesn't believe he is old even as baseball age goes, claims he feels better than, he has in several years. "1 think the operation on my arm last winter prolonged my, career but I can't explain why my legs feel 60 good," said Mantle as he unwound the tight gauze from his weary legs.

(Butch) Schlicht from winning his second consecutive state amateur golf championship. Schlicht, who works in the pro shop at Madison's Black-hawk course, and Don Iverson, a junior at La Crosse State University, won their semi-final tests Friday. Schlicht, 23, reached the 36-hold finals in the 65th Wisconsin State Golf Association tournament by defeating Warren Dail-ey, 33, of Madison 5 and 4. Iverson, 20, stopped Bill Lind, 47, of the Pine Hills course 3 and 2.

Iverson lost to Schlicht in the 1963 semi-finals. Schlicht was one-up over Dail-ey after the first nine carding a 3-over-par 39 to Dailey's 40. Schlicht fired a one-under-par 34 through the next nine, and the margin was 3-up after 27 holes. Schlicht had been 4-up, but Dailey trimmed it with an 8-foot putt for a birdie three on the 27th. The defender took the next three with two pars and a birdie, and was secure when Dailey missed a 12-foot putt, on the 32nd.

Similarly one-up after the first nine, Iverson shot a par 36 to Lind's 37. Iverson, champion of the National Association of In tercollegiate Athletics, reached the midway point with 72 to Lind's 74. A birdie on the 30th hole helped place Iverson 3-up. But he had a double bogey on the 31st after trouble with a trap. He gained the decisive tally on the 33rd when Lind three-putted for a bogey six.

As a result, Morgan remains undefeated in league play with a 7-0 record. Glen Siekierke rapped a solo homer in the sixth to fire the attack.

Dick Beer and John Sherer shelved homers for the losers. In another game, Buckstaff 's pounded 14 hits, sparked by two doubles each from Dave Ray-, mond and Mel Poeschl, to edge Morgan Foster, 12-8.
