NEW YORK, Nov. 25 -()- The defending champion Cleveland Browns clubbed the Chicago Bears, 42-21, today : and in the .process not only cemented 'their own hold on first place in the American di vision bf the National Football league but knocked the Monsters from the Midway out of a first place tie in the National division. Cleveland's record now shows 8-1 compared to the 6-2-1 com piled by - the second place - New York Giants. The men of Steve Owen hung on, however, by down ing the Chicago Cardinals, 10-0. The idle Detroit Lions eased in to first place in the National con ference, pulling past the Bears and Los Angeles Rams, with whom they were involved in a three way deadlock before the day's proceedings got under way. ! The Rams bowed to the Washington Redskins, 31-21. .. Now the top of the conference shows Detroit with 6-2-1, and the Bears and Rams each with : 6-3. The Lions, of course, helped their own cause by taking a 53-35 de cision from the Green Bay Pack ers Thanksgiving day. In other games today, the Pitts burgh Steelers defeated the Phi ladelphia Eagles, 17-13, and the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Yanks tied, 10-10. . The Bears couldn't cope with Halfback Dub Jones, who tied the NFL scoring record for a single game by dashing for. six touch downs. Ernie Nevers turned the trick, for the Chicago Cardinals back in 1929 also" against the Bears. . : ' - - . ' The Redskins victory over the Rams was. completely unsuspected. The combination of Rob Goode and Sammy Baugh spelled defeat for the Rams. Goode scored the first two Redskin touchdowns and carried 23 times for 148 yards while Baugh passed for two more, completing seven of 12 tosses. Between the time in the . first period when Jerry Williams in tercepted a Baugh pass and ran 17 yards to pay cart to near xne end of the last period when Bob Waterfield's desperate passing led to a couple of scores, the Rams could do nothing.

By Norman Anderson , Staff Writer. Tho Statesman . Stanford's Indians will trot onto the turf of the Rose Bowl for the ninth time, come this next New Year's day, and will be shooting for their fourth win in the Pasa dena classic. 1 f " ? Chuck Taylbr unpredictable "Vow boy's, although losing their final game of the season to a re surgent California Saturday, 20-7, are nevertheless' expected to get the bid when the Pacific Coast conference chooses; its representa tive Monday. Southern California lost a chance to tie the Indians for the championship by blowing their final game to UCLA. : Stanford started the famous post-season classic way back in 1902, when they lost to Michigan 49-0. And while the Indians have sent some great teams to the Bowl the 1940 T" team, the Vow boys of the thirties they havent been quite as successful on New Year's day as they have been In conference play. They've won three times, lost four, and tied once. . . . " - It was 23 years before Stanford went to the Rose Bowl after 1902, and - unfortunately, .their - oppon ents were the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. Even with "the great Pop Warner directing Stanford from the sidelines, the Indians nevertheless dropped a 27-10 de cision, But they outgained, and outdowned Notre Dame, with the immortal Ernie Nevers the sparkplug.- j,- , . r-t - The next time the Indians ap peared in the Bowl they were only a little more successful, tieing the second of a series of top Alabama Rose Bowl teams, 7-7. It was this same Alabama team " which the year before rose from off the floor in the second half; scored three quick touchdowns to upset one of Washington's greatest teams. -" Victory came to Stanford' the third time, as they moved into the Rose Bowl the next year and edged Pittsburg 7-6. Pop Warner was still calling the plays. . : Beginning inx1934, Stanford sent three teams to the - Rose Bowl, salvaging but one win out of the trio. These were the "Vow", boys, who vowed USC would never beat them. USC never did, but their op ponents in the Rose Bowl were more successful ; - i In 1934, Stanford picked under rated Columbia to -oppose them. And after four quarters of dogged football, played in rain and mud, Stanford walked out of the game 7-0 losers to Lou Little's upset minded club. .j- .,....;...,.,.:.., The next year was even worse for the Indians. Another Alabama team, this time coached by Wal lace Wade, roared out -of Dixie land and flattended Stanford un der a decisive 29-13 score. That was the year of the Dixie Howell to Don Hutson successful passing combine for the Crimson Tide. ' Stanford went to the Rose Bowl again in 1936, for the third straight year and in probably one of the sere wist Rose Bowl seasons in his tory ground out a convincing 7-0 win over Southern Methodist. The Texans poured into Pasadena from every available way," filling nine special trains. -m j - But the Indians had yet to! find their, best season. And find It they did in 1940. After losing every game of the 1939 season, , Coach Clark Shaughnessy took over the Palo Alto reins. fashioned a smoothly - operating T-f ormation, backed up by . the ' quarter of Frankie Albert, Hugh Gallarneau, Norm Standi es and Pete Jvomeu vie, and went through an unbeaten season. They met powerful Ne braska in the 1941 Rose Bowl and won their third victory, 21-13. " And now Sanford will try again, They'll try for a fourth Rose Bowl victory and attempt to give the PCC it's first win . in. six starts against the Big 10. Against unbeaten,- but once -tied Illinois, they'll have to play what may turn into their greatest game to ac compli&h thaL .

The Coast conference Rose Bowl . bid wasn't at stake yesterday, for it was a cinch that Stanford would be entitled to it even if they lost. but a lot of prestige was on the line. - That's why California Coach mn Waldorf said:!4! never en joyed or appreciated a victory more" in his 27 years of coachine. Stanford's Chuck Taylor, the 31- year-old wonder man who in his first year as head tutor predicted victory 10 times and !made it stick nine times, grinned wryly and said: "What the heck am I sup posed to say now?" - Prestige eot a biff boost- when UCLA walloped Southern Califor-' nia 21-7, moving Trojan Coach Jess Hill to observe: "When you are outcharged, out-blocked and out-tackled, what caa you say?"
