GIANTS SNARE GRID TITLE New York Drubs Bears In Playoff New York (U.R) The New York Giants, boasting their first National Football league cham pionship since 1938. today noti fied their 1957 rivals that they won't stand pat with the squad that handed the proud Chicago Bears their worst playoff defeat. The Giants humiliated the fa vored Bears, 47-7, Sunday be fore 56.836 chilled Yankee Sta dium fans and millions of warm television viewers. The Giants wore sneakers on the frozen turf in throttling the team that led the league in scoring this season. Defense won- the first cham pionship for Coach Jim Lee Howell. Key players on New Yprk's defensive unit Sunday in cluded end Andy Robustelli. half back Ed Hughes, linebackers Bill Svoboda and Harlond Svare and tackle Dick Modzelewski. After fullback Mel Triplett carried Umpire Sam Wilson and two Bears into the end zone tor New York's first touchdown, Robustelli's -jarring tackle made Bear fullback Rick Casares fum ble and Andy a'so recovered the ball on the Chicago 15. Ben Agajanian followed with his first fieid.goal and the Bears never recovered. They had to gamble after that, losing a bid for a first down on their 45 when Emlen Tunnel! dropped J. C. Caroline on the Bear 43. The Giants, with Char ley Coneriy replacing Don Hein rich at quarterback, scored in seven plays with Alex Webster plunging the last two yards. Casares. the league's leading rusher, got the only Chicago touchdown on a nine-yard run after tackle John Melleka; re covered Tunnell's fumble of a punt on the New York 25. But Webster's one-yard plunge cli maxed a 72-yard drive and. when Roy Beck blocked Ed Brown's end zone punt. Henry Moore pounced on the .ball for a touch down and a 34-7 halftime lead. Conerly's short scoring passes to Kyle Rote and Frank. Gifford in the second half completed one of Chicago's worst defeats. Arkansas ranks fifth in the ' fiation in stxaw'aerry production.

Backfield Toss-Up Evashevski's line-up troubles center on making a choice in the backfield. The line will be Jim Gibbons at left end: Alex Karras, left tackle; Frank Bloom quist, left guard: Don Suchy. center; Bob Commings, right guard: Dick Klein, right tackle; Frank Gilliam, right end. Ken Ploen will be at quarter and Don Dobino at left half. But the right half may be either Mike Hagler or Bill Hap pel. Happel has been the regu lar all season, but Hagler has been used on the first team the last four practice sessions. And the fullback may be either John Nocera, who has been the second stringer, or Bill Harris, who has been the regular. Nocera seems to have the inside track right now. Tennessee, the nation's second ranked team, is a 6'2-point choice over Baylor in the Sugar Bowl, Colorado is a three-point pick over Clemson in the Orange Bowl and TCU a two-to-three point favorite over Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl.

Mover, a 147-pounder who has I won titles galore in the north west, dominated all the way in gaining a unanimous decision over Johnny Green, slugging and improved glove tosser from Roseburg. Williams representing Portland PAL, was upset victor over Larry Lewis. Medford PAL. in a split decision bout. Other top billed tussles saw Eddie Kaiser, Coos Bay, take the heavyweight semi-windup, Roy Marshall, Roseburg, grab the 125-pound featured preliminary, and Bob Apple, Medford PAL, win the 160-pound special event. There were 13 bouts in all and crowd pleasing action in almost everyone. Kaiser Gets Nod Kaiser, 190, won the narrow est of nods over John Massey. 16-year-old comer from Knott Street Community center, Port land. It was a split decision. .Massey was awarded the sports manship trophy. Marshall also got a split ver dict over a Knot Streeter, Eddie Richey. There were few knockdowns during the evening and no clean knockout. Two of the bouts, how ever, saw technical kayos and Apple got one of those. His match with Ben Kempke was halted at 1:50 of the third round. Referee Don Cain stopped it and a towel flew in from Kempke s corner. Other TKO winner was George Waggoner, 148, Knott Street, over John Renfro, Coos Bay. Cain called a stop at 1:58 of the second panel with Renfro cornereed and groggy after hav ing been once floored in the .stanza. Mover was the master through out his tussle time and again beating Green to the punch when the Roseburg socker moved in to try to force the fight. The stellar Portlander landed some good combinations and won decisive ly, taking every round, although Green got in a few good licks. Decision Appro-red Williams verdict over Lewis brought a roar of approval from the crowd. The Medford belter had the edge in the opening chukker but Williams held his own in the second round and clearly was master in the final round, scoring well while Lewis' blows didn't too often find their mark. Referee Cain called the tussle Lewis's. Judges Harry Mover and Harry Lusk saw it for the Portland bout. Kaiser's experience paid off over the route against the smooth, young Massey. Referee Cain and Judge Jack Puscas gave the bow to the Coos Bay slugger. Massey got Lusk!s nod. Blood flowed rom Kempke's nose and oozed from Apple's lip in the 160-pound special. Apple made up a deficit in art by pour ing punches in windmill like manner. He scored a knockdown in the opening round but lacked thegas to put an end to the fight. Both boys lost steam in the sec ond round but Apple, a tough footballer, had given the Rore burg man his fill when the ae- I tion was ceased.

By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer Scandals rocked the Pacific Coast Conference football set-up during 1956 and for a while it appeared that the PCC members might legislate themselves rlghf out of existence. It all started when Washington confessed to a so-called "slush fund," and the PCC right away banned the Huskies from the Rose Bowl for two years, took Washington's share of the bowl receipts, about S52.000, and banned the school from compet ing in NCAA sponsored events such as basketball, baseball and track and field national events. But that was only the begin ning. A fellow named George Stephenson confessed to Ed Schonfeld of the Oakland Trib une that UCLA had paid him S40 above the limit of S75 per month to play football there. That opened up a whole new story. Schools Fined UCLA and Southern Cali fornia, after thorough investiga tions, were slapped down and placed under bans. UCLA was knocked out of the Rose Bowl for three years; USC for two. The Bruin fines totalled about S91, 000. Players from both schools who had been found guilty of taking "under table" payments, lost some of their eligibility. Southern California was fined the equivalent of S63.400; Cali fornia was fined S25.000, but was not banned from the bowl. But when the smoke cleared away, it was found lhat Oregon State had the best football team in the conference. The Beavers won the conference champion ship, losing only to Southern California and tieing with Ore gon. USC. ineligible for the bowl, anyway, uiider the "rco-re-peat rule, finished second with losse's to Stanford and Oregon. Actually the year had started Jan. 1 when Dave Kaiser's last, second field goal gave Ohio State a victory over Southern Cali fornia in the Rose Bowl.
