Cleveland .will fall to win a pro-football division title this season for the first' time in its 11-year history. The Giants can clinch their first Eastern divi sion title in the National Foot ball league since 1946 by beat ing or tying the Browns at Yan kee stadium. But jack Lavelle, who has scouted the Browns for years and has seen them half a dozen times this season, warned the Giants they are in for a rough day. " I think Cleveland still has the best defensive unit in the league," Lavelle said. "The De troit Lions may be a bit better defensively, but I wouldn't bet on it. 'You would think a team that has suffered as many . injuries and lost as many close games as Cleveland has this year would be down, Lavelle said. "But they gave it everything all the way. x The Browns, who haven't had many "good bounces" from the ball this season are picked to up set the Giants. The Giants have a 7-2-1. record while the Browns have a 4-6 mark. Sunday's other selections: Lions (8-2) over Pittsburgh Steelers (4-6) at Detroit; Bears (7-2-1) ;over Cardinals (6-4) at Cricago: Redskins (5-4) over Philadelphia Eagle (3-6-1) at Washington; Forty Niners (3-6-1) over Green-Bay Packers (4-6) at San Francisco: Rams (2-8) over Baltimore Colts (4-5) at Los Angeles. Cubs Shun Banks Bids ' By MILTON RJCHMAN Jacksonville, Fla. '.U.R) A near-stampede for Ernie Banks was in - progress between three National league clubs today but the Chicago Oubs made it plain their slugging-shortstop can not be had for love or money. The Cincinnati. Redlegs already have made what they consider "a real solid offer" for Banks and the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia' Phillies also were known to be interested in the right-handed, long-ball hitting shortstop.. . Cincinnati's offer for . Bank consisted of outfielder Wally Post and catcher Smoky Bur gess, but under pressure, .the Cubs probably could get center fielder Gus Bell instead of Post. Along with Banki. the Redlegs also would insist upon a pitcher, preferably. big Bob Rush. "Sure, a lot of people are talk ing to us about Banks", admitted Bon Scheffing, the Cubs' new manager, "but he's, one boy we're going to hang on to! No one has any higher regard for him than' we have." Skeet Meet v Rescheduled The postponed Medford Gun club skeet tournament will be conducted this Sunday with a starting time of 10 a.m. ' Originally set for last Sunday,'- j.the affair was moved back, be cause of the fog and small turn out.

Schwein furt Honorable Mention By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco OJ.R) Pow erful Fresno State, which seems to be on the threshhold of big time football, captured two po sitions today on the United Press Little All-Pacific Coast team. Dean Philpott, packing a three year rushing average of 6.7 took over the fullback spot while teammate Jerry Kloppenburg moved in at center. The pther starting backfield jobs were won by Bill Seymour of Southern Oregon college, Howard Tipton of undefeated Redlands and Gene Flipping of Lewis and Clark. Philpott barrelled over for 10 touchdowns this season, is a de mon on defense and stacks up as a fine professional prospect. Sey mour is a tremendous passer and has been rated by his coach, as good as Norm Van Brocklin, was at the same stage. . - Tipton, an all-around hand at Redlands. finished third in the Southern California conference rushing statistics, fourth in pass ing and tied for third place' in scoring. Flippin averaged 5.5 yards per carry in his final sea son for a three-year total of 1. 475. He accounted for. 38 points this season, eight by conversions and is hailed as one of the best running backs in the Northwest. Backs Pressed All four backs were pressed for their jobs by Earl Barnum, Humboldt State sophomore who sparkled on several .breakaway runs this season. The end spots went to Wixie Robinson of Pepperdine and Jim Cox of Cal Poly. Robinson, who doubles at guard, looms as a na tural for any pro team with de fensive problems. He blocked four kicks this year, one of which he ran back for a touch down .while the other set up a score. Coach John bcolmos oi the Waves rates him as 'one of the best small college players he has seen. ' Cox, who .stands 6-3. remain ed one of the best receivers on the coast as he closed out his career for the Mustangs by grab bing 25 passes for 351 yards and four touchdowns. He totalled 82 receptions for 1.335 yards .over three years. Tough Tackles Floyd Peters of San Francisco State and Pete Michaelson ' of Whitman were named ib the tackle' posts. Peters also figure's to be good draft material. Mich aelson praised by Coach bod Thomsen as a fine, two-way play er and leader, was named to the All-Northwest conference team in the coaches ballot Vic Fox,' who helped spark Linfield to. the Northwest con ference title, and John Kidd of the California-Aggies took over at guards. Fox, a swift, 210 pounder, was the only player to be named to the coaches All Conference team by unanimous vote. Kidd. 225. was a key man up front all season, with the strong Aggies. ' Kloppenburg known as "Klop ly" around the Fresno campus, is a deadly tackier and stood out this season both as a line backer and on pass defense. . ' . SFXOND TEAM . ''',.
