The Cleveland Erowns, gulp
ing energy pills while starving
the opposition, and the San Fran
cisco Forty-Niners, beaten be
fore the National Football
league's biggest crowd, clung to
one-game division leads in the
wake of Sunday's action.
The Browns, who have been
q taking thousands of special pills
, to build up their strength, shut
v; out the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24
I 0, to retain their Eastern lead
over the New York Giants. New
York kept on Cleveland's heels
by downing the Chicago Cardi
nals, 27-14.
The Detroit Lions and Balti
more Colts, tied for second be

to one game by whipping East
ern division opponents. Bobby
Layne threw three touchdown
passes to pace Detroit to a 27-16
triumph over the Philadelphia
Eagles and Johnny Unitas dash
ed three yards in the last minute
to give Baltimore a 21-17 vic
tory over the Washington Red
skins. Goal in Last Minute
Rick Casares bolted nine
yards with a minute remaining
to give the Chicago Bears a 21
14 victory over the Green Bay

Cleveland now boasts the

York has a 5-2 mark. Pittsburgh,
which invaded Cleveland tied
with New York and with a
chance to tie for the Eastern
lead, fell two games behind the
Browns. San Francisco stands at
5-2, while Detroit and Baltimore
have 4-3 records.
Norm Van Brocklin, booed so
often in the Coliseum, sent his
biggest single audience home

rwhile completing 14 of 23 for
2:24 yards to spark the Ram of
fense, q

LSA.TIOf 4.L LEAGUE
By United Press
Itl pretty hard to believe, but
the1 Toronto Maple Leafs and
(Detroit Red Wings are .tied for
last place today in the National
(Kockey league.
The Leafs, off to one of the
poorest starts in their long his
tory in the NHL, dropped their
eighth loss in 14 games Sunday,
3-1 to the resurgent Chicago
Black Hawks, while the Red
Wings, perennial regular-season
champion were beaten by the
Boston Bruins, 4-2, for their
ninth loss in 15 games.
The results left the Black
Hawks in third place, four points
behind the ' idle second-place
New York Rangers, and six
points in back of the pace-setting
Montreal Canadiens. Boston is
in fourth place and Toronto and
Detroit are in a deadlock for
fifth and last place.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
By United Press
The Hershey Bears finally
have been coced off in the
American Hockey league, but
there's no one around today
even close enough to cmake a
stab at their first-place lead.
The Bears, beaten 3-0 by the
Cleveland Barons Saturday
night, battled to a 4-4 tie with
the Springfield Indians Sunday
night, while the second-place
Providence Reds and the third
place Rochester Americans
wound up in a 2-2 tie and the
Buffalo Bisons shutout the
Barons, 3-0.
The action left the Bears with
(a: comfortable 11 point lead over
Providence, which has been un
beaten in its last four starts.
Hershey has won 11 of 15 starts
with two ties. . '
SF State, Chico
Vie for Crown
By UNITED PRESS
San Francisco State goes
against Chico State next week
end in a tilt which will decide
the Far West Conference cham
pionship. Both teams, now tied for the
lead with 4-0 marks, scored easy
victories Saturday night. San
receiving helped set up Charley
Conerly's 32-yard scoring pass to
Bob Schnelker and 13-yarded to
Kyle Rote plus two 17-yard Ben
Agajanian field goals. Ollie Mat
son plunged a yard and ran 57
for the Cardinal touchdown at
Yankee Stadium.
Layne Rallies Team
Layne, whose ribs were badly
bruised at San Francisco last
week, lifted his taped-up frame
off the bench in the second pe
riod at Philadelphia and rallied
the Lions by completing six con
secutive passes for three touch
downs. The Redskins took a 17-14
lead on Sam Baker's 37-yard
field goal early in the final pe
riod at Washington. But the
Colts, beaten twice in the final
minutes in three previous starts,
scored with 50 seconds to go
when Unitas capped an 86-yard
march with an end run.
Zeke Bratkowski's 21 and
eight-yard passes to Willie Gali
more and Galimore's 15-yard run
set up Casares' victory dash for
the Bears at Chicago.
Willamette,
Linfield in
Showdown
By UNITED PRESS
Willamette set up a showdown
for the Northwest conference
football crown by walloping Pa
cific 40-6 at Salem Saturday.
The two teams meet Saturday
at McMinnville with the winner
getting the titlj. A tie would
favor Linfield since the defend
ing champion Wildcats have a
4-0 record while Willamette has
3 wins and a tie. Linfield tuned
up by taking Portland State 35
12 in a non-conference game.
In the only other conference
game, Whitman scored on a pass
in the final 24 seconds to defeat
Lewis and Clark 34-33. But Gary
Grill, L & C's halfback from Al
bany, provided most of the
thrills as he ran 90, 79 and 50
yards to touchdowns.
Southern Oregon spoiled an
unbeaten season for the Seattle
Ramblers with a 25-21 win; East
ern Oregon fell victim to Col
lege of Idaho 46-21, and Oregon
College took Lower Columbia
JC 63-12 as freshman Jim Bow
len completed 14 of 19 passes
for 365 yards.

Chicago (IP) The Big Ten
football schedule shows two
weeks to go but the title chase
could end Saturday when Iowa,
Ohio State and Michigan State
engage in key clashes.
The Rose Bowl story is an
other matter and may have to
wait until the curtain falls on
the 1957 season for a decision.
The powerhouse of Ohio State
and Iowa, both unbeaten in con
ference play, meet on the Hawk
eye gridiron Saturday. Michigan
State, owner of four conference
wins against one loss, tackles
Minnesota at home.
An Iowa victory would clinch
the second successive title for
the Corn State contenders and
leave Ohio State with a 5-1 slate.
If the contest goes the other
way, the Buckeyes would re
main undefeated and automatic
ally wrap up the crown, despite
what Michigan State does against
Minnesota this week or how the
Buckeyes fare in their season fi
nale Nov. 16 against Michigan.
Iowa Ineligible
Iowa, at last year's Rose Bowl
representative, is ineligible for
a return trip. Thus the Rose
Bowl battle is between Michigan
State and Ohio State and the
Buckeyes next Saturday will
have both the title and the bid
for the Bowl within their grasp.
Francisco smothered Sacra
mento, 41-6, and Chico sunk the
Cal Aggies, 28-6.

night in the final home appear
ance of the season for the Red

MH Gridders
Open Drill
For Beavers
Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg
planned "just running" on the
practice field this afternoon for
the Black Tornado as Medford
high gridders began prepara
tions for their Class A-l state
quarter-final play-off game next
Saturday night at Beaverton.
Spiegelberg called drills for
2 p.m. today. The squad also was
to see movies of the Grants Pass
game.
Tornado casualties against GP
on Friday were Guard Tom Mer
ton, who suffered a bad ankle
sprain, and Backs Bob Gee and
Ron Reich, who rehurt ankles
previously turned. Spiegelberg
said Merton possibly will be able
to play Saturday. While the ros
ter for a state play-off game is
limited, the head coach said that
a whole bus load of Medford
players will make the trip.
Well Balanced
Beaverton, champion of Dis
trict 3 and the Metropolitan
league, boasts a tremendous run
ning team. The Beavers, al
though not too heavy a club,
are considered a well-balanced
aggregation.
While known . for their run,
run, run attack, the Metro
champs used passes to advantage
against Gresham last Friday in
sewing up their title. They threw
five and completed four to put
the ball on the one-yard line In
one of their scoring surges.
Only loss Beaverton has suf
fered this season was to South
Eugene in non-loop action.

Washington, a joke in this
year's West coast football strug
gle, enjoyed the last laugh today
as the expense of Oregon's
Ducks, thanks to upsetting them
13-6 and throwing a crimp into
their Rose Bowl plans.
This surprise, coupled with
Stanford's 35-7 thrashing of
Southern California, left the In
dians Wz games behind the Web
foots and a chance to finish
ahead in the small field of Rose
Bowl contenders providing they
win their last two games while
Oregon loses its pair.
However, the Ducks face an
other expected breather next
Saturday when they play the
Trojans who have lost six out of
seven tilts this year. Stanford
will try to stay on the pace as it
invades Oregon State.
In other action last week end,
Coach Red Sanders was credited
with his 100th win in 15 years
of running ball clubs as UCLA
dropped Washington State, - 19
13; Oregon State hung on to nip
fast -closing California, '21-19,
and College of Pacific downed
hapless San Jose State, 21-6.
