Browns Draw Large Pro Football Crowd CLEVELAND, Oct. 21 W The All-American Football Con ference's first race, with the sea son half over, looks like a shoo-in for the unblemished Cleveland Browns.- Having beaten everybody ln the laasua excent the San Francisco 49er', the Browns are perched at thu neak looking down on seven clubs which have lost at least two each. The winning ways have paid huge dividends at the gate, too. Sunday as the Browns beat back the threatening western sector sec ond place Los Angeles Dons by 31-14, a crowd of 71,134 poured $158,186.32 Into the cash registers. That's the biggest crowd ever to see a professional league , game, and it boosted the Browns lour game at-home attendance to 232,066. Last year, ln winning the National Football League title here before moving their franchise to Los Angeles, the Cleveland Rams drew only 72,000 to their first four games. In Saturday night's contest New York stayed atop the eastern div ision with a 21-10 verdict over Brooklyn, giving the Yankees four wins, two losses and a tie, while Buffalo finally got into the win ning column with a 17-14 conquest of the San Francisco '48er s.

Rams Roll Over Unbeaten Bruins Still Rated as Colossus Defroifr 35-14 Of Coast Despite Slim Margin Over Bears By RTJSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 21 (IF) After last week's rugged football sessions, Involving an upset or two, the West Coast gridiron story today remains the same the best team until beat en is the University of California at Los Angeles. The UCLA Bruins, perched atop the Coast Conference standings and four times win ners over stout opposition, im proved their position in the dash to the Rose Bowl with a 13-6 win over a surprisingly strong University of California eleven. The Bruins lined up 6 to 1 fav orites. They were lucky to es cape with whole skins. . Defeated, the Bears outplayed their southern cousins for a goodly part of the game . at Berkeley which attracted some 65,000 fans. In some respects, the Bruins lost while winning. Their leading ground gainer and ace right halfback, Cal Rossi, suffered a broken right leg, above the ankle. And their clev er field general, southpaw quar terback Ernie Case, went out of the contest with a broken nose, i Nevertheless, U.CX.A. is set ting the championship pace, un beaten, and may have hurdled the toughest rivals, namely Ore gon State, Washington, Stanford and California. Unless Univer sity of Southern California, pre season conference favorite, has finally hit its stride. Southern California heartened supporters with a sizzling come back, after losses Inside and out of the conference, by over whelming Washington, 28-0. It was a resounding reply to the general question of what was wrong with a USC eleven that had bowed to Ohio State, 21-0 and to Oregon State, 6-0, the latter a league affair. This week's headliner may give further light on the South ern California enigma. The Tro jans journey to Palo Alto to take on the fast working Stanford In- ' dlans. Some comparison between the championship - bound UCLA Bruins and the originally title favored USC Trojans may evolve froti the meeting be -tween the Trojans and Stanford. The latter lost to UCLA, 26-6 and the consensus is the Trojans will have to have their warhorse in real racing condition this Saturday. Stanford outscored Santa Clara, 33-26 in a non-conference test Saturday, Santa Clara's hitherto struggling outfit being a bit of a surprise package in the free-for-all. Santa Clara seems headed for another fall In Its engagement with UCLA at Los Angeles this week-end, non league in status. Other conference contests on the Oct. 26 calendar send the up and coming California Bears against the Washington Huskies in the homecoming game at Seattle; Oregon State, against Washington State at Pullman and Oregon against Idaho at Moscow. Barring ; rainy weather, Cali fornia's stout defensive play coupled with an increasingly im proved offense, ma. keep the Bears in the race with a win over Washington. Oregon State, walloped by UCLA but upset winner over Southern Califor nia, rates over Washington State, although the latter played unde feated Oregon to a 0-0 tie on a wet field last week. Oregon, with two conference wins, a tie but undefeated, ap pears too fast for Idaho, which has yet to win in or out of the circuit, Its latest being a 26-14 setback by San Jose State Col lege. Montana, playing a lighter conference schedule than the rest and loser In its only bid thus far ln the standings, takes on Utah State .at Missoula. HIGHLIGHTS BY DEWEY RAY - The 6-6 tie between Bend and Albany last Friday night at Bend detracted very little from the reputation of the Lava Bears and didn't take any of the edge off this week's Big Six championship , game between Eugene and Bend at Civic Stadium. . The winner will still have an almost clear shot at the title and if Bend should upset the Axemen the Lava Bears would clinch at least a tie for the title since it will be their last league game. If the Axemen win they will still have to get bv the dangerous Salem Vikings. . Eugene has emerged as one oi tne outstanding teams in tne state and Is clearly the colossus of the southern section of District 3. If everything goes right and the Axemen do get Into the playoffs it looks like they will have to play McMInnville, just as Cottage Grove did last year, for the district title. , The Grizzlies are going along even better than last year. The Grovers got the decision over Mc MInnville last year on the basis of a slim nine yard advantage in the total yards gained column. The final score vas tied at 20-20 and first downs were also even. a A lot of local ex-hlgh school gridiron stars re seeing action en the Northwest collegiate scene this year. George Dugan, an ex-Cottage Grove stalwart, la doing an outstanding job for Oregon at end and Darrell Robinson, ex-Axeman, also gets in at an end spot for the Webfoois. Of course, Chuck Elliott, regular tackle is an oldtlmer at Oregon and an ex-Eugene High star. Two former Uni High, gridders make up half the backfleld for the Southern Oregon College of Education. They are Chuck De Autremont and Tex Gatlin and are spearheading Coach Al Simpson's SONS squad to a successful season. We have already mentioned' Lee Todd all Bob Pollard, ex-Springfield Millers at Lewis le Clark College in Portland, and it seems that Dave Radmore, another Spring gielder, Is also seeing action for the Pioneers. Jerry Lake, a tough little ex-Springfield High halfback, won the starting left half spot for the Oregon junior varsity ln its first game last week against the Oregon State Jayvees. Billy Hutchinson, Eu gene High star of only a couple years back also saw action at the left half position for the "Golden Nuggets". Noel Campbell, who was a big gun at Cottage Grove last year saw action for the Junior Beavers. Speaking of the Jayvees, It seems that the Oregon lads ran Into a big surprise over at Corvallls. And who wouldn't be surprised? Playing most of the first half of the game that the Staters won 48-8, were second, third and fourth string Oregon State varsity players. Guess the Beaver coaching staff wanted to give some of the reserve varsity lads some experience since the varsity didn't have a game .h.i,lrf list week anvwav. The "Nuggets" gained valuable ex perience against at least one Beaver who was a member of the. 19424 Oregon State nose sowi squad. One of the Oregon State Jayvee squad certainly has the proper background to be a star. He is Clayton Hein, and Is the younger brother of Mel and Homer Beta, former Washington Stole greats. Mel turned professional and Just finished his 13th season with the New York Gianta last year. He Is rated as one oi tne game i au time greats. Clayton Is a quarterback.

The seven-man skirmish tilled the arena to capa city and a wild affair it was. Entering the all-out battle were Ernie Piluso, Ike Cazell, the Gray Mask, Pete Belcastro, Karl Gray. Ross and Fox. Belcastro and Ca zell attempted to continue their long-standing feud but were inter rupted repeatedly as all concerned wished a chance at the Montana Indian. As Pete held Ike with a full nelson Fox downed Cazell with a dropkick, putting Ike out after six minutes. Piluso and Fox used the same trick to put Belcas tro out ln one more minute. The masked matman and Ross ganged up on Piluso to down him in an other two minutes. Ross and the Gray Mask were unable to team together due to their mistrust in each other and the Mask took the task in his own hand of disposing of Gray In three minutes. With the aid of Tony, the Chicago artist Issued such deadly dropkicks that the Gray Mask was completely dazed and down for the count in three minutes. Thus the stage was set for the remaining action according to the routine of elimination.

Gray worked to perfection his standing full nelson, taking the second fall ln 11 minutes. The de ciding battle between full nelsons and head-butting ended in four minutes as the Mask applied an other Boston crab. In the main event billing Rosa tried desperately ln various fash ions to make a definite showing against Fox, but to no avaiji Straight wrestling skill was of no use and as Tony resorted to fistle action, Fox was ready for him.
