Lions Swamp Forty-Niners,
Giants Top Eagles To Get
Pro Footbal! 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.

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.
