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. Brown is more than

one-season record of 1,146

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

The Nationals opened, the

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.
Ohio State stayed in the
race by overpowering Indiana
49-8, Purdue put itself into
the picture by upsetting Mich
igan State, 14-6, and Illinois
defeated Minnesota, 20-8.
The outcome threw Wis
consin, Illinois and Purdue
into a tie for fourth place,
each with one victory and
one defeat. Michigan State
and Michigan were still win
less with a tie -and a loss to
mar their conference record.

There isn't an undefeated
major football team in all the
west today.
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

with two losses; Oregon lost
its second game of the year to

losses on their record.
UCLA, which knocked over
Washington, 20-0, has been
whipped three times already;
Stanford, beaten by the Air
