Philadelphia 24 Chicago Bears 31, Los Angeles 10 By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts may gallop to the National Football league's division titles be cause they are shattering jinxes the way skeet shooters bust clay pigeons. Cleveland took a two-game lead in the Eastern race Sun day and boosted its record to 4-0 by whipping the Pitts burgh Steelers, 27-10. The Browns took a 59-14 wallop ing from the Detroit "Lions in the 1957 championship game. Since 1953, all the title game losers have bowed by huge margins and folded complete ly the following season. But the Browns, roiling be hind Milt Plum's passing plus Jim Brown's running, act as though they really won that last title game and figure to shatter a jinx that has haunt ed championship game vie tims in recent years. ' Baltimore clobbered the Lions, defending league and Western division titleholders, 40-14. The victory enabled the Colts to retain their one-game Western division lead and gave them a vital mental boost. It was the first victory the Colts ever scored at De troit and marked the first time they have swept their first four games during a sea son. Cards Upset Giants While Detroit (0-3-1), lost virtually all hope of retaining its titles, the Chicago Cardi nals gave the Browns a big assist by upsetting the New York Giants, 23-6. The Giants, who started the day a game behind Cleveland, now are tied for second at 2-2 with the Cardinals and Washington Redskins, who defeated the Green Bay Packers, 37-21. . The Chicago Bears remain ed right behind Baltimore and took undisputed second place in the Western race by de feating the visiting Los An geles Rams, 31-10. Los An geles enter the game tied with the Bears and slipped to a third-place deadlock with the San Francisco Forty-Niners at 2-2. The Bears have a 3-1 rec ord. San Francisco, with John Brodie throwing scoring passes to Hugh McElhenny and Clyde Conner, stopped a las t-m inute Philadelphia Eagle rally for a 30-24 victory in the other game. The six contests drew 279,390 fans with the top crowd of 66,852 registered at Cleveland. Brown Runs Wild The Steelers shocked this big crowd by taking a first period lead on Tom Tracy's 64-yard touchdown pass to Ray Mathews but the Cleve land defense throttled them the rest of the way. Plum threw touchdown, passes to Brown, Ray Renfro and Bobby Mitchell. Brown, who may prove to be the most ver satile fullback in NFL his tory, also ran 48 yards for a -touchdown and gained 153 yards in 19 tries to boost his league-leading rushing total to 635.

The Lions started their title drive last year when they scored twice in the final seconds in their fourth game for a 31-27 triumph over the Colts at Detroit. The Lions and 55,190 rooters had vi sions of a similar finish Sun day when Yale Lary raced 71 yards with a fourth quarter punt to cut Baltimore's mar gin to 20-14. But the "new" Colts reacted by scoring three more touchdowns. Lenny Moore ran 11 for one, John Unitas passed 37 to Jim Mutscheller for another and Leonard Lyles ran 27 to score on the game's final play. Billy Wade of the Rams completed his second pass to Del Shofner for 92 yards and a touchdown, the longest scoring pass of the NFL sea son, but the Bears and penal ties shackled Los Angeles after that outburst. Willie Galimore scored twice for the Bears and now has seven 1958 touchdowns. McHan Leads Cardinals Lamar McHan came off the bench in the second quarter and sparked the Cardinals to an upset triumph over the Giants before 52,684 - largest crowd ever to attend a New York home opener. McHan threw two touchdown passes to Gern Nagler and set up Ollie Matson's three-y a r d scoring plunge. "Johnny Olszewski ran 45 yards for a touchdown and gained a total of 165 to help Eddie Lebaron keep the Red skins in charge all the way against the visiting Packers. Lebaron threw touchdown passes to Joe Walton and Bill Anderson. Babe Parilli of the Packers threw scoring passes to Max McGee and Jim Tay lor.' The Eagles had a first down on the Forty-Niner eight in the final minutes at Phila delphia but couldn't score. On the key play in the series, the officials ruled Bob Walston was out-of-bounds at the limit of the end zone when he caught what would have been a touchdown pass from. Norm Van Brocklin.

SPORTS Wildcats Bill Iowa On Saturday By GENE BLUDEAU Chicago -(UPD- Northwest ern, beginning .to look like the rags-to-riches Rose Bowl outfit of 1948, clashes with Iowa Saturday in what may prove to be the Big Ten's key game of the campaign. . Both are undefeated this season with 2-0 records in the conference, a distinction they share with Ohio State in a three-way tie for the lead. To take ovfer the lead the Wildcats heed a victory over the Hawkeyes in their game at Iowa City and a helping hand from Wisconsin which meets Ohio State on the Buck eye field. Odds May Favor Iowa 1 The Wilcftats, who went to the Rose Bowl in 1948 after finishing next to last the sea son before, are likely to be underdogs against Iowa, but they have been pegged as the losers in three of their four victories this season, climax ed by Saturday's 55-24 romp over Wisconsin.

In fact, there are very few of the big-league clubs along the Pacific slope with less than two whippings already on their 1958 record. The last "big" school to bite the dust was College, of Pacific, and it took it's medi cine Saturday night from Cin cinnati, 12-6.

UCLA, which knocked over Washington, 20-0, has been whipped three times already; Stanford, beaten by the Air Force, 16-0, has lost four times; Oregon State, a come-from-behind 20-6 winner over Idaho, has lost to USC and Wyoming, and so it goes.
