Browns' Share of 1st Spot
Only Normal Sight in Pro
Loop; Five Upsets Scored
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sporli Writer
The Cleveland Browns own a
share of first place today to pro
vide the only familiar sight in
a topsy-turvy National football
' leaeue camDaien in which the
odds have stood up just once in
the first 18 games.
True, the Brownies the de
fending league champions
share the Eastern division lead
with the Washington Redskins,
Chicago Cardinals and Pitts
burgh Steelers.
But Cleveland's appearance in
first place is the first "normal
sight in the standings in the first
three weeks of day. The "have-
nots" have been having a gay
time battering the clubs which
dominated the last few seasons.
Five more upsets this week
end left the surprising Baltimore
Colts and Los Angeles Rams tied
for the Western division lead
with the only perfect records,
3-0. Baltimore upset the Green
Bay Packers Saturday night, 24
20, and Los Angeles whipped the
Detroit Lions, defending West
ern division champions, 17-10, in
one of five Sunday games.
Four-Way Tie
The four-way first place tie
in the Eastern race was produc
ed when the Cardinals handed
Washington its first defeat, 24
10; the Steelers downed the
New York Giants, 30-23; and the
Browns rallied to edge the Phil
adelphia Eagles, 21-17.
The San Francisco Forty-Nin-ers
(1-2) nipped the Chicago
Bears (0-3) in the other Western
Division game, 20-19.
The Packers, Lions, Bears,
Redskins and Giants all losers
were the favorites. The odds
didn't hold up in the other game
either because the Browns were
favored by 4V4 and won by four.

Portland (U.R) Oregon
and Oregon State football teams
licked their wounds from beat
ings over the week ends and pre
pared today for more underdog
'- roles in games coming up next
week end.
Oregon, 13-6 loser to Colorado
at Eugene Saturday, takes on
California's Golden Bears Satur
day night in Portland. Oregon
State, 38-0 loser to UCLA last
Friday night, travels to Stock
ton, Calif., to meet the powerful
College of Pacific Tigers under

Coach Tommy Prothro said
six of his Beavers were on the
injured list. Ed Norm Thiel ap
peared worse off with a badly
sprained ankle. Other Oregon
State injured were backs Joe
Francis and Ray Westfall and
linemen John Witte, Howard
Buettgenbach, Bob de Grant and
John Sniffen.
Chapman Shines
Oregon suffered wounded
pride against Colorado, losing
the ball six times on fumbles
which cost the Ducks a chance
to win. The Webfoots outgained
Colorado 366 to 199 net yards.
James was the star for Ore
gon, picking up 14 yards in 18
rushing plays.
Oregon used Norm Chapman
and Nick Markulis, both centers,
to back up the line and both
were in on many tackles.
DIDN'T GO FAR Colorado fullback John Bayuk is hauled down
for just a yard gain by Oregon endJ. C. Wheeler in the first quar
ter at Eugene, Oregon. An alert Colorado team, taking advantage
of eight Oregon fumbles, drove to two first half touchdowns to
defeat the Webfoots, 13-6, on a muddy field before 12,500 fans.
MAIL TRIBUNE

Philadelphia's opening game tri
umph over New York was the
only one played so far in which
the odds held up.
Philadelphia couldn t gain
against Cleveland's defensive
unit but turned fumbles by the
offensive team into two touch
downs and led 17-14 with four
minutes to play. Then two of
Coach Paul Brown's 10-year vet
erans 33-year-old Otto Gra
ham and 32-year-old Dante La
velli led the Brownies 87 yards
to victory.
Graham, who came out of re
tirement a few weeks ago, threw
three passes to Lavelli and made
dashes of 18 and 36 yards to set
up his five-yard victory pass to
Lavelli.
Shaw Shines
A record Milwaukee football
crowd of 39,500 watched rookie
George Shaw complete an 82
yard scoring pass to Buddy
Young and a 50-yarder to Jim

Rams Beat
Lions 17-10;
Share Lead
Detroit U.R) The Los An
geles Rams today retained a per
fect, 3-0 record and a tie with
the Baltimore Colts for the Na
tional Football League's Western
Division lead on their 17-10 vic
tory over the Detroit Lions.
Behind the crack passing of
quarterback Norm Van Brock-
lin and the scooting of halfback
Ron Waller, Coach Sid Gillman's
crew kept the Lions on the bot
tom all the way yesterday.
They took the opening kickoff
and moved 81 yards for their
first score. Van Brocklin passed
to Elroy Crazy Legs Hirsch for
55 yards and a first down on
the Detroit four. Then Deacon
Dan Towler punched over from
the one and Les Richter got the
extra point.
Walker Scores Field Goal
Doak Walker scored a 14-yard
field goal for Detroit in the
second quarter after Richter had
given the Rams a 10-0 lead with
a 41-yard field goal.
The Lions got their only
touchdown in the final period.
Los Angeles halted a Detroit
threat early in the last period
only inches shorof a first down
on their eight, but recovery of a
Towler fumble on the 18 led to
a Bob Hoernschmeyer pass to
Walker in the end zone.
This put Detroit within one
touchdown of the Rams, but time
ran out.
While Waller did not figure in
the scoring, he got through the
Lion defense in vital plays.
Los Angeles U.R) Pitcher
Vincent Amor, who won five
games and lost four with Havana
in the International league last
season, today was recalled by
the Los Angeles Angels of the
Pacific Coast league.

Forty-Niners
Win 20-19
Over Cards
Chicago U.R) Coach Red
Strader said today "It's about
time 'his San Francisco Forty
Niners won a ball game, even if
it was only because the team
was "lucky."
"But we'll take them any way
we can get them," he beamed.
"We got a lot of breaks, but it's
about time they started coming
our way. We've . been fighting
uphill battles all year." .
The Forty Niners' 20-19 vic
tory over Chicago yesterday was
the season's first for the San
Francisco club after two losses.
Strader said he planned no
protest but it did seem to him
that the team played a "61-min-ute
ball game." He was referring
to the agonizing final minutes
when the Bears, desperate for
their first win in three tries,
fought hard for another score.
George Maderos Hero
The hero of those moments
was undoubtedly rookie half
back George Maderos, who re
covered a fumble that ended the
Bear threat once and for all.
What the 45,256 fans in the
stands did not know was that
Maderos was hurt on the eighth
play of . the third quarter. His
left hand was split open from
the tip of his finger to the wrist.
He received 12 stitches to close
the cut. And he played the rest
of the game.
Early in the fourth quarter,
with the score 20-17 in favor of
the visitors; Chicago worked its
way to the San Francisco 18.
Maderos snagged a pass there
and broke up one scoring threat.
Then the stage was set for the
heart-rending final minutes.
Took a Safety
Quarterback Y. A. Tittle, be
lieving there were only seconds
left in the game, deliberately
took a safety to kill time. But
the clock continued to run long
enough after that to let the
Bears run a half dozen of so
quick plays.
Finally, Chicago halfback
John Hoffman smashed into the
left side of the Forty Niner de
fensive line on a second down
play with 10 yards to go.' Leo
Nomellini dived low and tackled
him. As Hoffman went over
backwards, the ball flew out
from his arms. .
Maderos pounced upon it on
the Forty Niner 19. That saved
the game.

Experts who nodded politely

opposition efforts and overcome
Talent 39 to 20 in a Jackson
County B League football en
gagement here Saturday night.
The win gave the Mediord
parochial school sole leadership
in the circuit.
It was strictly an offensive
battle. Neither team showed
much strength on defense. After
a lethargic first quarter St.
Mary's scored on all but two
occasions that they got its hands
on the ball. Fumbles mainly kept
Talent from matching the SM ef
fort. Talent's offense was at its
best of the season and the Bull
dogs threatened the Crusaders
with an upset until the Medf ord-
ites broke out with three touch
downs in the third quarter.
The clubs fought a scoreless
battle in the first quarter. Second
period ended in St. Mary's fa-
vor 14 to 6 and after three cantos
the count was 33 to 13 for the
Crusaders.
Jones Goes 51
St. Mary's halted a Talent
drive on the 16-yard line after
the opening kick-off and had one
of its own run out in midfield
before making the first success
ful bid. The Crusaders took
over again on their 16 late in the
initial stanza and six plays later
had a touchdown. A 15-yard run
by huge Jim Jones, nimble-footed
for all his bulk, was the pay
off. He ran over the extra point,
j.aieni men lost me ban on
the SM 37 and the Crusaders
launched a goalward surge which
again required six plays. Laval
Meunier ran the last 14 and Jim
Darland kicked the extra for a
14 to 0 spread.
The Bulldogs then took over
on their own 31 after the kick
and fought in eight plays to the
goal. Phil Combs took a pitch
and skirted end for the final
seven yards. Jack Barrett's pass
to Frank Long for the bonus
tally was no good. A 25-yard
pass play, Barrett to Long was
main gain of the drive.
71-Yard Surge
Halftime then stopped St.
Mary's and its parade of touch
downs. But the Crusaders
zoomed to the end zone 71 yards
in four plays right after the
second half boot off. Meunier
