More than 102,000 saw the Rams take the Forty-Niners at the Coliseum, and more than 311,000 saw the six games on Sunday for a new high for a single day's attendance for the league. There were three sellouts, in Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles. That's proof positive that pro football has gripped the fans in more convincing fash ion than any other professional sport. Still on the pro front, we see that things are tightening up in the Western division. By the time next Monday rolls around three teams could be tied for first place, San Francisco, De troit and Baltimore, and right now every team but Green Bay still has a chance to win. The Rams' victory over the Forty Niners really tightened things up and only two games separat ed the first five elevens. In the East, things have boil ed down to the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants. Paul Brown's club and the 1956 champions have a good edge on the others and will bat tle it out.
