Warning to the Baltimore Colts ami other interested parlies: The New York Giants are tough but avoid their fans at all cost. The Giants clinched the Nation al Football League's Kastetn Di vision title Sunday fer the second straight year when they clobbered the .Browns, 48-7. The Giants al most blew the Browns out ot Yan kee Stadium and their fans com pleted tho job. .. . .'. Hundreds swarmed on the field with less than two minutes to go. sending Coach Paul Brown and his Browns scurrying to the lock er room .for protection. While Coach Jim Lee .Howell'. Giants wondered if the officials might forfeit the game to Cleveland, tho fans tore down one set of goal posts and were working on the other when special pofiee detaiLs restored order 20 minutes later. "I never gave a thought to ask ing that the game be forfeited." Brown said after his men re turned to the field and finished out the seennd worst defeat in their history. "I just left the field to keep from getting beat ur and my kids followed me. My players had Ihe right to protect them selves. That's a league rule." Colts Clinch Tie Baltimore, vicmr over New York at Yankee Stadium last year in the league's first overtime champions-Inn game, clinched at least a tie for the Western title Saturday by downing the Forty Niners at San Francisco, 34-14. John I'nitas passed for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead Baltimore to its first vic tory at San Francisco in 12 games in two leagues. 1 If the Colts deleat or tie the Rams Saturday at Los Angeles, they'll qualify to play host to the Giants in the championship game Dec. 27. Then the Colts, who also showed some high-octane fans in New York when they won the 1958 championships, can stn-t prepar ing for the invasion cf the Giants and their rambunctious rooters. The Chicago Bears, with Rick Casares plunging for four touch downs, kept their slim Western hopes alive Sunday by downing the Pittsburgh Steelers." 27-21. The Forty-N'iners play host to the Green Bay Packers and the Boa's entertain the Detroit Lions in next Sunday's regular seasi windups. The Forty-Niners and Bears can tie frr the Western title and force playoff games if they win, provid ing the Rams upset the Colts.
