The Cleveland Browns will
play the New York Giants,
only team ever to interrupt
their unprecendented domina
tion of the National Football
League's Eastern division, for
the conference title next Sun
day at Yankee Stadium
Cleveland, most consistent
winner in professional foot
ball history, clung to its one
game lead over New York
Sunday by scoring a 21-14 de
cision over an inspired Eagles
team at Philadelphia. The
Giants, described by their
coach as "not a good club,"
kept their hopes alive when
Harland Svare blocked a Jim
Martin field goal try with :13
remaining to preserve a 19-17
victory over the crippled De
troit Lions.
The Browns can win their
eighth Eastern division title
in nine years by defeating or
tying the Giants Sunday in a
game which will draw a capa
city crowd of more than 71,
000. The Giants must win to
tie for the crown and then
beat the Browns again at
Yankee Stadium Dec. 21 to
qualify for the championship
game with the Baltimore
Colts Dec. 28.
Cleveland swept six East
ern titles after entering the
NFL in 1950 and won again
last year after the Giants
snapped their record string
in 1956.
Rams Defeat Colts
Baltimore, which will in
vade the Eastern champion's
park for the championship
game, clinched the Western
crown a week ago. The Colts
opened the week end action
by dropping a 30-28 decision
to the Rams at Los Angeles
before 100,209 - the third
largest crowd in league his
tory.
In Sunday's other games,
Bobby Layne's two touch
down passes sparked a rally
that gave the Pittsburgh
Steelers a 14-14 tie with the
Washington Redskins; the
Chicago Bears turned Chic

Dissolution Matters
On Aqenda of PCC
By JOE ST. AMANT
Pasadena, Calif. -UPD- Rep
resentatives of the nine Pa
cific Coast conference schools
met here oday at the Hunt-
lngton-Sheraton hotel to take
care of matters connected
with the dissolution of their
tradition-clad league main
ly cutting up a financial mel
on which runs into thousands
of dollars.
The conference greybeards
voted at a meeting in Port
land, Ore., last Aug. 9 to dis
solve the PCC which was
founded more than 40 years
ago because they were un
able to reconcile their differ
ences on such matters as fin
ancial aid to athletes, schol
arship requirements for such
athletes and scheduling of
football games.
Coincidentally, the confer
ence sounded its own death
knell in Portland's Benson
hotel where it was founded
in 1915 at a more congenial
meeting.
Money Squabbles
The difficulties boil down
to a matter of dollars and
cents. And there is a lot of
bitterness in the dissolution
UCLA, Southern California
and California were fined in
amounts up to $25,000 for un
der- the- table payments to
athletes. UCLA and USC, es
pecially suffered additionally
in penalties restricting the
eligibility of numerous foot
ball players who accepted ex-
horbitant financial aid from
over-zealous alumni. The Uni
versity of Washington was
also adjudged a guilty party
in this respect.
In reprisal, UCLA, Calif
ornia and UbC authorities
voted last December to with
draw from the conference.
Washington followed and
then the conference itself
voted to commit hari-kari ef
fective June 30 of next year.
SNEAD FACES HEBERT
New York-OIPU-Sam Snead

golf at the Boca Raton, Fla.,
golf club on ABC-TV's "All
Star Golf" program next Saturday.
bles into an easy 30-14 vic
tory, and the San Francisco
Forty-Niners turned three in
terceptions into touchdowns
in the first six minutes en
route to a 48-21 triumph over
the Green Bay Packers.
Milt Plum,- Cleveland's
second-year quarterback,
scored on a 10-yard dash and a
one-yard plunge in the first
period but Tommy McDonald
caught touchdown passes
from Norm Van Brocklin and
Bill Barnes to make it 14-all
at the half. The Browns swept
74 yards in six plays for the
decisive touchdown late in
the third period. Ray Renfro,
fleet flanker back, scored it
when he took Plum's pass on
the Philadelphia 25 and raced
on to complete a 48-yard play.
Rugged Battle
Jim Brown, who gained 138
yards in 21 rushes, and Lew
Carpenter, who colected 100
in 21 tries, helped Cleveland
to control the ball. The
Browns had lost five of their
six previous games in Phila
delphia and the Eagles gave
them another rugged after
noon before 36,773 fans.
1 ne Browns-Eagles game
started a half-hour before the
Giant s-Lions game. The
Browns finished first and it
appeared they would win the
Eastern crown outright when
the Lions took a 17-12 lead
into the final period before
50,115 fans.
Then Yale Lary of Detroit
gambled on running from
punt formation in a fourth-and-22
situation on his 43 and
was dropped on his 45 by line
backer Cliff Livingston. The
Giants then drove for the win
ning touchdown.
Lions Scare Giants
But the Lions, who started
the game with six regular
sidelined and lost halfback
Gene Gedman and end Dave
Middleton early in the con
test, gave the Giants another
scare. The 1957 champions
began driving after Terry
Barr stole a Conerly pass and
returned it to the Detrr't 41.
The Lions moved to the New
York 17 and Martin prepared
to boot a field goal from the
25 as the final secconds tick
ed away.
The Giants blocked it.
Andy Robustelli blocked out
Jerry Perry, Detroit end, and
Carl Karilvacz rushed
through to bounce linebacker
Roger Zatkoff out of the way.
Svare knifed through the
opening they made and
blocked Martin's kick.
Thus the Lions, who gave
New York and assist last
month by beating the Browns,
just missed in a bid to knock
the Giants out of the Eastern
race. '
Ash landers
Drop Tiff
To Eureka
Ashland - Eureka, Calif.,
piled up 18 points in a big
fourth canto Saturday night to
whip Ashland High 42 to 28 in
a maplecourt engagement.
Eureka exercised backboard
control while Ashland could
not get good shots from the
field and was cold in the ac
tion at Eureka.
The Oregon club held Eu
reka to just three points in
the third quarter while scor
ing six itself to cut the Log
ger edge to 24 to 20. But the
eight by the Grizzlies in the
final quarter was no match
for Eureka's 18. v
Count was 11 to 5 for Eu
reka at the quarter and 21 to
14 at the half.
The Loggers' Murray, a 6-7
sophomore, was high point
man in the game with 11
tallies.

Ashland - Chico State out
lasted the Southern Oregon
college basketball team here
Saturday night to earn a 58
to 55 nod and split its week
end series with the Red Raid
ers of the Rogue.
Southern Oregon had won
70 to 63 in overtime on Fri
day.
Both clubs had erratic
stretches but the Wildcats on
Saturday won out with some
what steadier play, a bit of
an edge under its offensive
board and greater stamina.
The Raiders got off to a 9
to 2 jump in the fracas but
Chico caught up at 16-all mid
way through e first half.
From that point the Wildcats
went on top 19 to 16. South
ern Oregon knotted the fracas
twice in the second half but
could not go ahead.
Eight points was the widest
margin by which the Wild
cats led, 26 to 18 in the first
half and 42 to 34 in the
second.
D'Olivo High Saorer
Garry Newman and Don
Richardson paced the Chico
scoring with 16 and 12 points
and Harold Ellis with 16 re
bounds and Richardson with
a dozen headed the backboard
work. Dave D'Olivo played a
big role in keeping the Raid
ers in the scrap with 19 points
and 14 backboard retrieves.
Gordon Carrigan had 13
points for Southern Oregon.
The Raiders erased the 42
to 34 Wildcat gap on a field
goal and two free shots by
Jim McAbee and goals by
D'Olivo and Don Vannice for
42-all count. Richard drove
and Ellis pushed for 46 to 42
Chico standing. D'Olivo count
ered with a driver but New
man of the 'Cats got a free
shot. Then D'Olivo hit from
the circle and Meunier put in
a gift toss to make a tie at
47-each. Seven minutes were
left in the game.
Newman put in a field goal
and free shot and Bob Sher-
rard two from the field and
Chico had a 54 to 47 lead with
33i minutes to play. Carri-
gan's set shot and Meunier's
driver cut the margin to three
points. Newman and Meunier
traded buckets. The score was
56 to 53 with one minute to
go. Mike Miller then put in
a pair of free shots with 25
seconds left. D'Olivo added
the last Raider goal with nine
seconds to go.
Chico's margin at the free
toss line provided the victory,
boutnern uregon had more
field goals, 23 to 21, but the
visitors made 16 of 26 free
tries to SOC's nine of 18. The
Wildcats had only a 54 to 49
edge over the Raiders in total
backboarding with SOC hav
ing 29 to 28 nod in defensive
clearing.
