Jim Brown, the National
Football league's finest ball
carrier, made "believers" of
the Baltimore Colts and
chaneed the complexion of
both division races in one
golden afternoon.
Brown's five - touchdown
spree against the Colts Sun
day at Baltimore enabled the
Cleveland Browns to upset the
defending league champions,
38-31. His touchdowns on runs
of 70, 17 and three yards and
a pair of one-yard plunges
also:
-Enabled the San Francisco
Forty-Niners to take undis
puted leadership of -the West
ern Division with a iS-l tn
umph over the Detroit Lions.
- Forced Baltimore, which
started the day tied with San
Francisco for first, into an up
hill fight to retain its Western
Division crown.
- Kept the onrushing
Browns only a game behind
the New York Giants, 20-3
victors over the Green Bay
Packers, in the Eastern race.
Eagles, Browns Tied
The Philadelphia Eagles re
mained tied with Cleveland at
the halfway mark in the cam
paign by staving off a Wash
ington Redskins rally for a
30-23 triumph.
In Sunday's other games,
the Chicago Cardinals upset
the Pittsburgh Steelers, 45-24,
and the Chicago Bears sur
prised the Los Angeles Rams,
26-21.
Brown, who set an all-time
NFL rushing record of 1,527
yards last year, is in his third
pro season but never before
played against Baltimore. His
ability was questioned before
Sunday's game by several
Colts Gene (Big Daddy) Lips

all - league defensive tackle,

my hands on that cat (Brown."
But Big Daddy and his
mates had trouble getting
their hands on Brown from
the time he rocketed over his
right tackle and zipped 70
yards to score in the second
period. The current Baltimore
defensive unit, ranked with
New York's as the league's
best, never has been so humili
ated. Unilas Still Brilliant
The 230 - pound Brown
gained 178 yards on 32 rushes.
Averaging 5.5 yards per carry
behind the blocking of Mike
McCormack and Cleveland's
other offense linemen, he
sparked the Browns to victory
despite another brilliant pass
ing show by John Unitas.
Unitas completed 23 of 41
passes for a personal single
game high of 397 yards and
provided. Baltimore's four
touchdowns on short tosses to
Lenny Moore, Jerry Richard
son, Raymond Berry and Jim
Mutscheller.
But Cleveland's defense,
basis for the team's seven
Eastern titles in the last nine
years, halted Unitas in the
clutch. The Brownies stopped
Unitas four times within the
Cleveland 10 to the disgust of
a sellout crowd of 57,557.
Baltimore now must play
four of its last six games on
the road. Two of the road
games are at Los Angeles and
San Francisco, where the
Colts have won once in 14
tries since 1950.

Bears Beat
Rams 26-21
In Pro Tilt
Los Angeles, Calif. - (UPD -"The
Los Angeles Rams
should defeat the Forty Niners
next week," forecast Chicago
Bear coach George Halas.
This was little solace for
a team which had just taken
a double defeat-on the score
board and physically from
the Bears.
Halas said, after Sunday's
26-21 Bear win over the Rams,
that the Los Angeles ball club
would take NFL Western di
vision leading San Francisco
"Because they have better
overall personnel."
But he was hard put to
explain how the Bears lost to
the Forty Niners last week
and then soundly defeated the
club he says will upend San
Francisco.
He was not at a loss, how-
ever, with reasons for Sun
day's win. Hs said:
"Clobber" Didn't Materialize
l-"The Rams gave us a big
morale boost when they let
it be known they were going
to 'clobber' us."
2-"We fooled 'em with our
tight-T offense in the first half
when reserve quarterback
Zeke Bratowski started, and
then again when we reverted
to our regular 'slot-T' forma
tion in the second half with
regular quarterback Ed Brown
at the helm."
3-"Fullback Rick Casares
played his best game of the
season. The whole team ran
better because the line block
ed better. That's been our
trouble all season."
Linfield Wins
Over Whitman
United Press International
Linfield's Wildcats pound
ed out a 28-7 win over Whit
man Saturday night on the
strength of a three-touchdown
third period.
It was the first Northwest
conference win for the Wild
cats. Quarterback Bill Parrish
flipped a pair of 14-yard scor
ing passes to pace the Wildcat
offense before a homecoming
crowd of 2,500.
Pacific recorded the only
win among the four other
schools of the league in non
conference action.
The Badgers turned loose
a five touchdown second half
attack to overwhelm Portland
State, 40-0 in the Pacific
homecoming at Forest Grove
On the losing side of the
picture for conference clubs,
Willamette fell to College of
Puget Sound, 26-7; Lewis and
Clark dropped a 13-7 decision
to the Seattle Ramblers, and
Idaho State edged College of
Idaho, 28-21.

Johansson May
Not Face Floyd
Until Next May
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-(UPB-Heavyweight
champion Inge-
mar Johansson may not meet
Floyd Patterson in a return
title bout before May of 1960,
a business consultant for the
Swedish boxing star said.
This apparently means the
Orange Bowl in Miami has
been eliminated as a possible
site for the fight, said Wil
liam J. Kelley of Fort Lauder
dale. The May date would
come after Florida's lucrative
winter season has ended.
Several Floridians, includ
ing retired champion Rocky
Marciano, have been hoping
to secure the Johansson-Patterson
fight for Miami.
Marciano said he knew sev
eral Florida businessmen who
would "bid as high as neces
sary ' to get ine iigni ior me
Oranee Bowl. He said he
plans to see Johansson in New
York Nov. 19 and will outline
at that time what the Miami
area can offer.

Forty-Niner
Eleven in
Lone Lead
San Francisco -(UPD- Coach
Red Hickey of the San Fran
cisco Forty Niners is facing as
tough a "Month of Sundays"
as possible today - but it's a
cinch he's a happy man.
Hickey's hammering Forty
Niners moved into undisputed
possession of first place of the
National Football league's
Western division Sunday with
a devastating 33-7 win over
the Detroit Lions.
San Francisco's 5-1 record
held up when Baltimore's
Colts lost a 38-31 score-fest to
Cleveland, dropping the Colts
to second place with a 4-2
mark.
Coming up for San Francis
co are four straight rugged
tests on the road - with the
Rams, Packers. Colts and
Browns. The Forty Niners
will return to friendly Kezar
stadium Dec. 5 against the
Colts, and windnip the season
one week later with the Pack
ers.
Why Not on Top?
"I don't know how long it'll
be before we lose," said a iu-
bilant Hickey after Sunday's
win, "but there's no reason
why we can't stay right on
top."
And to the 59,064 fans jam
med into Kezar stadium Sun
day afternoon there was no
apparent reason either.
The home-town redshirts
were never in trouble, pairing
a fierce defense with the bal
anced offensive thrusts that
have kept them winning all
season.
J. D. Smith's explosive 73
yard touchdown jaunt after
1:25 gone in the first period
set the pattern. Other Forty
Niner touchdowns followed,
and their defense kept the
pressure on Lion quarterbacks
every second.
Hugh McElhenny, returning
to the lineup after a month's
absence, caught two passes for
a pair of touchdowns, the sec
ond a 62-yard toss from quar
terback Y. A. Tittle.
Kefauver Suggests
Special Session
Memphis, Tenn. -(UPD- Sen.
Estes Kefauver suggested Sun
day that President Eisenhow
er call a special session of
Congress if the 111-day steel
strike isn't settled "in the next
couple of weeks."
Purpose of the session, , he
said, would be passage of a
compulsory arbitration law.
"Nobody likes compulsory
arbitration," Kefauver said,
"but when the public interest
is so clearly at stake . . . there
seems to be no other course.

STRAIGHT
500 Season
Now Goal
Of Beavers
Corvahis-IUPD-Coach Tom
my Prothro today faced the
task of preserving at least a
.500 ' season for his Oregon
State Beavers.
And quite a task it will be.
The Beavers face Washing
ton, Sanford and Oregon, in
that order. Prothro was a bit
perplexed at the lack of Ore
gon State offensive power in
Saturday's 14-0 white-wash
by Washington State.
The Beavers managed only
98 net yards on the ground
and 31 yards on two complet
ed passes in 14 attempts
against the Cougars.
Prothro said the Cougars
showed the best pass defense
the Beavers have faced this
season.
"The best pass defense," he
added with a smile, "since
we started throwing." He re
minded that Oregon State's
passing offense came to life
in the previous two games
against Idaho and California.
To date the Beavers have
combined a not so enviable
2-5 record. This coupled with
the remaining slate of rugged
foes seems to point to Pro
thro's first losing season since
he took over the reins at OSC
in 1955 and pulled a 1-9 foot
ball club to the West Coast
Rose Bowl representative in
two years.

With or without a facial
mask, Jacques Plante of the
Montreal Canadiens ranks as
one of the most talented and
courageous net-minders in Na
tional Hockey league history.
The gritty Frenchman be
came the first goalie ever to
wear such a protective device
Sunday night after he was
struck in the face by a sizzling
backhand shot off the stick
of Andy Bathgate of the New
York Rangers early in the
first period at Madison Square
Garden.
Plante needed seven
stitches . to close the deep
wound and returned to the
ice wearing a special mas1- he
designed himself. It did not
handicap him in the least as
he turned aside 27 shots in
leading the Canadiens to a
3-1 victory over the Rang
