Leaderships By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer TheDetroit Lions and New York Giants believe a simple of fense and a strong defense are the keys to National Football League success and are proving it by leading the respective div ision races. Detroit used the system to win the last two championships and took a big stride toward a record -three in.,a row by .hand ing the Sail Francisco Forty Niners their worst defeat Sun day, 48-7. A record Detroit pro football crowd of 48,431 saw the Lions (6-1) take a two-game lead in the western race. New York didn't figure to play 'an important role in the eastern division because it was the leagues lowest scoring team in 1953 when it had a 3-9 record. But the Giants (6-2) took undisputed first place Sunday by beating the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-14. The teams, started the game tied for first. The Cleveland Browns, an other team which stresses per fect execution of simple plays, remain just a half game behind the Giants in. the eastern div ision by beating the Chicago Bears, 39-10 in the weekend's other key game. Rams Beat Cards The Los Angeles Rams (4-3-1) pulled into a tie with San Fran cisco for second in the western division by beating the Chicago . Cardinals in a rough game, 28 17. The Washington Redskins virtually ended Pittsburgh's eastern hopes by upsetting the Steelers 27-14.' On Saturday night the Green ay Packers spotted Baltimore t 13-point lead and rallied to trip the Colts, 24-13. Detroit and Cleveland have played seven games, one less than the other 10 clubs. , San Francisco handed the Lions their only 1954 defeat, 37-31, last month and invaded Detroit with a chance to tie for the western division lead. But the . Forty Niners were buried under a six touchdown spree. Doak Walker led the Lions with 18 points on a touchdown, two field goals and six other extra points. It was the worst defeat the Forty Nin ers have suffered " since they were organized in 1946, and coach Buddy Parker said his Lions did the trick with a mini mum of plays. ; , Charley Conerly threw three touchdown passes to Frank Gin ford, Bob Topp and Ken Mac Afee as the surprising Giants snapped their deadlock with the Eagles. ; : Knock Him Down ' Coach Jim Lee Howell de scribes the New York system as "very simple." "If someone gets in our way, we try to knock him down." he said. The Browns (5-2) turned a 6-3 halftime lead into a safe margin by scoring twice in 37 seconds in the third quarter before a capacity 48,772 at Chicago. The Bears (4-4) dropped 2V& games behind Detroit and lost star pass er George Blanda for most of their remaining games when he suffered a shoulder separation. Woodley Lewis 'ran 88 yards with the opening kickoff, Jack Dwyer raced 76 with an inter cepted pass, Tank Younger ran 75 from scrimmage and Bill Wade threw 43 to Bob Boyd for the four long-range TD's that enabled the Rams to beat the Cardinals 21-7 before 40,739 at Los . Angeles. Younger, the league's second leading ground gainer, dislocated a knee and will be out the rest of the sea son. Touchdowns by Billy Wells and Hugh Taylor plus Vic Jan- owiscz's field goal enabled the Hedskins (2-6) to beat the Steel ers (4-4) before 19,388 at Washington. LA Ram Gridders Lose Halfback Los Angeles (U.R) Paul Tank Younger, star Los Angeles halfback undergoes surgery to day on a dislocated knee which will put him out for the season and leave the Rams without a ground attack against the rugged NewYork Giants next Sunday. The Rams, with a (4-3-1) record, are tied with the San Francisco Forty Niners for second place in the Western Con ference, and can ill afford to lose their plugging halfback, the Na tional Football League's second leading rusher. Younger contributed what proved to be the winning score on a 75-yard run in yesterday's penalty plagued game with the Chicago Cardinals. The Rams won 28-17, but the loss of Young er seriously hurt their chances of catching" the front running Detroit Lions.

S-361 Cotton Bowl Bid Yet Up For Grabs By ED FITE United Press Sports Writer .. Dallas, Tex. (U.R) The Southwest Conference football championship and an automatic Cotton Bowl bid are still up for grabs with Southern Methodist, Arkansas and Baylor all figur ing in the title scrap, but only SMU and Arkansas have a chance at the bowl classic. SMXTs stunning 21 to 14 punch thrown at Arkansas left only the back door open to the Razorback ball club that has been rated No. 4 in the nation until it failed to fathom SMU's bewildering attack last Saturday and dropped its first game in eight starts. With, a -crucial SMU-Baylor showdown coming up in Dallas this week, these possibilities still existed: SMU can grab the champion ship and the bowl bid by sweep ing past Baylor Saturday and Texas Christian the following week, or it can share the crown with Arkansas and still get the bowl bid by earning a victory and a tie in the two games. Can Back In Arkansas can back into an outright championship if SMU loses to either Baylor or TCU, or if SMU should tie both of them. The bowl bid, naturally, would be waiting in either case. Baylor can get a share of the title with Arkansas by cutting down SMU and Rice on succes sive week ends, but has no hope of a Cotton bowl slot since it lost to Arkansas 21 to 20 early in the season. Meanwhile, Cotton Bowl of ficials were in even a more per plexing condition trying to fig ure out the guest team possibil ities. No one was talking offic ially, but Mississippi, Auburn, Georgia Tech, West Virginia and Florida were understood to be the top contenders.
