Green Bay 12 By EARL WRIGHT United Pratt International The Baltimore Colts are gal loping toward their first pro football division title in 10 seasons and the Cleveland Browns are edging toward their 12th in 13 campaigns. Coach Weeb Ewbank's Colts, led by John Unitas and Lenny Moore, scored 21 points in six minutes during the final period Sunday to crush the Los Angeles Rams, 34-7. Balti more, which has whipped its closest pursuers in its last two starts, held its two-game lead in the National league's West ern division with only three to play. The Colts kicked the Rams three games off the pace. Coach Paul Brown's Cleve land club clung to its one- game margin over the New York Giants in the Eastern Division by defeating the Phil adelphia Eagles, 28-14. New York, which slipped out of a first-place tie with Cleveland by bowing to the Pittsburgh Steelers Nov. 16, bounced back by blanking the Wash ington Redskins, 30-0. The Chicago Bears, 17-0 Victims of the Colts a week ago, remained two games be hind Baltimore by rallying to down the Detroit Lions, 20-7. The defeat officially ended Detroit's slim hopes of keep ing the Western Division and league titles. Steelers Best Cards Pittsburgh remained a game behind New York and two behind Cleveland by defeat ing the Chicago Cardinals, 27-20, on Bobby Layne's 78 yard pass-run touchdown toss to Jack Orr in the last six minutes. Ollie Matson of the Cardinals raced 101 yards to score with the first kickoff. In the other games, Y. A. Tittle threw two scoring passes to Billy Wilson and one to R. C. Owens to spark the San Francisco Forty Niners to a 33-12 victory over the Green Bay Packers. - Each of the 12 clubs has three more games. Unitas, who missed two games with cracked ribs, re turned to Baltimore's quarter back post Sunday and bombed the Rams with their own fa vorite weapon on the first play from scrimmage. He fired to Moore and Lenny raced 58 yards to score. Moore also ran eight yards to score in the second period but the Colts were clinging to a 13-7 lead when they thrilled a capacity home crowd of 57,557 with their last-period spree. Unitas passed 12 yards to Jim Mut- scheller and plunged a yard while L. G. Dupre ran six for three quick touchdowns. Eagles Contain Brown The Eagles held Jim Brown, record-busting Cleveland full back to 66 yards on 20 carries - but took their eyes off Bobby Mitchell for a few seconds in the first period and never recovered. The 51,319 Cleve land fans were just getting settled when Bobby took the opening kickoff on his two and went 98 yards to score. A few minutes later, he ran 68 with a punt to make it 14-0, . Lew Carpenter's plunge and Milt Plum's pass to Ray Ren- fro provided Cleveland's other touchdowns. Bill Barnes plunged and Norm Van Brock lin passed to Tommy McDon ald for Philadelphia s touch Morse to Attend Mexico Festivities Washington (ITD Sen Wayne L.

Although the traditional service classic between the Cadets and the Middies at Philadelphia figures to over shadow all other football bus iness on Saturday, the Air Force Academy, Clemson and possibly a few other teams can clinch bowl berths de pending on how they fare this week. Army, which has won seven games and has only a 14-14 tie against Pittsburgh to mar its season record, undoubted ly will be at least a one touch down favorite against Navy, a six-game winner this year but a two-time loser to Tu lane and Notre Dame. The Black Knights own a slight edge in the inter-service rivalry that dates back to 1890. Since then, Army has won 29 of the games, Navy 24 and five of the clashes wound up in ties. Navy won last year's game, 14-0. Odds Go Out Window But all the odds and black board calculations go out the window when the two acad emies get together on the gridiron. No matter what has gone before, either Army or Navy automatically considers it a successful season if it wins this one. The Air Force Academy, which rolled up a 45-7 mar gin over New Mexico last Sat urday, meets Colorado in its season wind-up next Satur day and a victory virtually will insure Ben Martin's Fal cons a spot in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas on New Year's day opposite Texas Christian. Texas Christian won the Southwest Conference cham pionship and the accompany ing Cotton Bowl berth by defeating Rice, 21-10, last Sat urday. Clemson, a leading candi date for a Sugar bowl berth opposite Louisiana State, could help rush the invita tion with a wrap-up victory over Furman. XSU agreed to serve as host team in the Su gar Bowl after completing its first perfect campaign in 50 years by mauling Tulane, 62-0. Gator Bowl Still Open There is a good chance that Gator Bowl officials will ex tend formal invitations fol lowing the results of next Sat urday's games. The Air Force Academy and Clemson also are under con sideration for the Gator Bowl game at Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 27, as well as Pittsburgh, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Florida and Mississippi Southern, the nation's No. 1 small college team. Mississippi Southern, owner of an 8-0 record, finishes its season against Chattanooga on Thursday In other Thanksgiving Day contests, Pittsburgh faces Penn. State; Texas meets Tex as A&M; South Carolina op poses Wake Forest: Brown plays Colgate and Pennsyl vania meets Cornell. Besides the Army - Navy struggle on Saturday, Ala bama plays Auburn; Baylor meets Rice; Georgia faces Georgia Tech; Mississippi goes against Mississippi State; Flor ida plays host to Miami, Fla.; Oklahoma State meets Okla homa; Southern California op poses Notre Dame; Southern Methodist tangles with Texas Christian, . and Vanderbilt meets Tennessee. Rose Pairings Complete The pairings for two of the four oldest bowl games were completed Saturday when California won the right to oppose Iowa in the Rose Bowl and Syracuse was invit ed to meet Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. California moved into the Rose Bowl with a 16-lo vic tory over Stanford while Syracuse sailed into the Orange Bowl with a 15-12 The Bears trailed at half time in Detroit, 7-6, but won on Zeke Bratkowski's 5 and 67-yard scoring passes to Bill McColl in the third period. A capacity crowd of 55,280 watched the Lions, who clob bered the Browns in the 1957 championship game, 59-14, bow out of the Western race while being throttled by the Chicago defense. win over West Virginia. In other games, Iowa's Big Ten champions closed out their season with a 31-21 tri umph over Notre Dame; Okla homa wrapped up its 11th straight Big Eight conference title with a 40-7 triumph over Nebraska; Auburn ran its un beaten string to 23 games with a 21-7 win over Wake Forest; Wisconsin defeated Minnesota, 27-12; Indiana held Purdue to a 15-15 tie; Ohio State beat Michigan, 20 14; Duke edged North Caro lina, 7-6; Rutgers massacred Columbia, 61-0; Dartmouth won the Ivy League crown by beating Princeton, 21-12, and Harvard licked Yale, 28-0.

Rams Vow Revenge Baltimore -UPD- The Rams virtually stripped of their championship aspirations' by Baltimore, today vowed to gain revenge when they meet the Colts in Los Angeles in two weeks and turned their thoughts to Sunday's game against the Cardinals. "You can't fumble six tim es, have four passes intercept ed and beat a team like the Colts," coach Sid Gillman con cluded as he reviewed the 34 7 defeat that left the Rams three games behind the Colts with three games to play. Los Angeles fumbles and Colt interceptions set up three of the five Baltimore scores as well as halting Ram drives twice in the shadow of the Colt goalposts. Although the Colts , never trailed the Rams closed the gap to six points in the third period, 13-7, only to fall apart in the final quarter and give up three touchdowns. . Unitas Tough As Ever Johnny Unitas, returning to action after two weeks, show ed on the Colts' first xplay from scrimmage that he had lost none of his passing abil ity by hitting halfback Len nie Moore with a 58-yard touchdown pass. But the ball-hawking Colts were not content with that and in the second period half back Carl Taseff grabbed one of Bill Wade's passes on the Rams' 30 andj-aced it to the 18. Moore scored a few plays later from the eight. Del Shofner appeared to have a touchdown a few min- outs while winning 48 of his 58 bouts. Stitch's 15-4-0 rec ord includes eight kayoes.

The Rams did get a score in the third period on an 83 yard drive which ended with Tommy Wilson scoring from the four. Arnett Fumbles But in the final period the closely-defensed Jon Arnett ! let the ball squirt out of his arms on a punt return with the Colts recovering on the 20. Unitas then passed 12 yards to end Jim Mutcheller to again give the Colts a 13 point lead. Another long pass from Unitas to Moore, good for 50 yards, put the Colts inside the Rams' 20. Alan Ameche pow ered the ball down to the one ' and Unitas sneaked over for the score. The final touchdown ; came after Wilson fumbled the next kickoff and Billy Pricer re covered on the Rams 20. L.
