Lions-Browns Slate Preview Cle'veland (U.R) An esti mated 40,000 football fans are expected to brave snow and cold today to see the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions in a preview of the National Football League's championship game one week hence. This game means nothing. The next one means everything. The Browns are host to the Lions at Cleveland Municinal Statdium, a vast horseshoe that can hold 80,000. The combina tion of inclement weather and lack of meaning today probably will halve the size of the crowd that could sit in on the proceed ings. The Browns, nerennial power house of the pros, are f our-Doint favorites to beat the Lions to day despite the fact they never have beaten them before in championship competition. Their only meeting with the Lions this year, in an exhibition game, re sulted in a 56-31 defeat. Detroit and Cleveland will meet in the championship game for the third straight year-the day after Christmas. The Lions won 17-7 in 1952, and last year the margin was shaved to 17-16.
