Green Bay 7 By EARL .WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts and Cleveland Browns appear headed for a National Foot ball league title showdown that would pit Jimmy Brown against Alan Ameche in a classic battle of fullbacks. Brown erased one of pro fessional football's proudest records Sunday with a 152- yard surge that helped Cleve land regain a one-game East ern division lead with a 20-10 victory over the Washington Redskins. He boosted his 1958 rushing total to 1.163 yards, smashed Steve Van Buren's old season mark of 1,146 and still has four games to produce the most fantastic rushing total in NFL history. Ameche, a 220-pound bat tering ram, gained 142 yards as Baltimore invaded Wrigley Field and boosted its West ern division lead back to two games by blanking the Chi cago Bears, 17-0. The Bears, almost unbeatable at home, could have tied the Colts for first by winning but suffered their first shutout since 1946 before a sellout crowd of 48, 664. Sxeelers Wallop Giants The Pittsburgh Steelers would almost prefer a vic tory over Cleveland to a ca pacity crowd but gave the Brownies a vital assist by Lions Drop Forty Niner Club 35-21 Detroit-flJTO-Coach Frankie Albert conceded today that he was as puzzled as everyone else over the collapse of the San Francisco Forty Niners "We're not playing winning football," he said after the Forty Niners fell before De troit, 35-21. "I don't -know why. The boyi are trying and we've got good personnel. "But we were outplayed and outblocked in the line and it was obvious that we're not making the big play like we did last year. Albert was especially per turbed about a first-quarter "alley-oop" pass that bounced off R. C. Owens' chest in the end zone and into the hands , of Detroit defender Jack Christensen. The touchdown would have tied the score. Instead the Forty Niners were never in the game again as. the Lions piled up a 28-7 half time lead. Vindicated "When we won last year, Owens didnt' drop those alley oops," Albert said grimly, al though he pointed out that Owens vindicated himself somewhat by catching two long passes. The Forty Niner loss, wit nessed by a standing room only gallery of 54,253, left the team in fifth place with a 3-5 mark while Detroit moved Into fourth with a 3-4-1 rec ord. Detroit fans saluted the vet eran quarterback Tobin Rote, who had had one of his worst days when the Lions lost to San Francisco two weeks ago. Yesterday, he was hot. He hit 13 for 23 passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 75 yards. Fullback Gene Gedman also sparkled. He threw two passes with spectacular re sults. He found Hopalong Cas sady for 81 yards for the Lions first score and later tossed another 30 yarder. He also ran the ball 12 times and received two of Rote's passes.
