Bears Cut
SF Margin
Over Colts
Chicago - (UPD - There was
plenty of second guessing in
San Francisco today.
San Francisco Forty Niner
fans were mulling over one of
last year's most controversial
subjects - the presence or ab
sence of quarterbacks Y. A.
Tittle and John Brodie.
Rookie head coach Red
Hickey, a man who could do
no wrong in winning six of
his first seven starts this sea
son, threw open the door for
fan criticism Sunday.
Hickey yanked veterap sig
nal caller Y. A. Tittle after
five plays against the. Chicago
Bears, - and the San - Fran
ciscans went on to their sec
ond defeat of the season, 14-3.
The loss cut San Francisco's
Western division lead to one
game,, as Baltimore edged
closer with a "28-24 victory
Sunday over Green Bay. The
Forty Niners tangle head-on
with the defending pro
champs next Sunday at Balti
more. Worst Day For Tittle
"Tittle had one of his worst
days of the season and so did
the rest of the team, and we
got beat," said a solemn Hick
ey after Sunday's loss.
Hickey indicated that he
was less than pleased with
the work of Tittle's replace
ment, John Brodie. Brodie
played the remainder of the
day at quarterback, with the
exception of the final minutes
of the game. ,
The stint was the first of
the season for Brodie at quar
terback. Brodie had three passes in
tercepted and Tittle tossed
away two. A rough and tum
ble Bear defensive unit push
ed San Francisco's offense
around the icy field most of
the afternoon, as the Forty
Niners were kept from scor
ing a touchdown for the first
time in 18 games.
In addition to losing five
interceptions, the Forty Ni
ners lost three fumbles to the
hard-charging Bears. The vic
tory gave Chicago a 4-4 sea
son mark and kept them in
outside contention for the
Western crown. San Fran
cisco is now 6-2 and Baltimore
is 5-3.
San Francisco's only touch
down yesterday, a brilliant
run by J. D. Smith, was called
back because of a clipping
penalty.
Casper Takes
Lafayette Open
Lafayette, La. (UPD - Billy
Casper Jr. fired a two-under-par
69 Sunday to easily win
the second annual Lafayette
Open golf tournament. He had
an 11-under-par total of 273
for the four days of play.
Casper, a 26-year-old PGA
star from Apple Valley, Calif.,
never was seriously threaten
ed after he took the halfway
lead in the $15,000 event. He
won by four strokes over
George Bayer of Glenagle,
111., who finished with a'68 for
a 277 total.
Tied for third place were
Jim Ferree of Crystal River,
Fla., .and Billy Maxwell, of
Odessa, Tex., with 278s. Gay
Brewer Jr. of Crystal River,
Fla., held down fifth place
with 281, while Bill Johnston
of Provo, Utah, was "in sixth
with 282.
Bayer came from fourth to
take over the runner-up spot
by posting his best ..round of
the tournament. However, the
two best rounds of the day
were scored by BobGobi of
Crystal River, Fla., and Ar
nold Palmer, of Ligonier, Pa.
They shot 67s to come from
far back and tie for seventh,
along with Frank Wharton, of
Dallas, Tex. The" trio had a

If the Cleveland Browns
win the National Football
league' championship, they
should give Bobby Layne, the
old playboy - quarterback, a
case , of the victory cham
pagne. Layne, a Texan who never
has hidden his bids to spice
the season with a bit of night
life, is past the glory V years
when he led the Detrot Lions
to two NFL titles. He's 32 and
playing for the Pittsburgh
Steelers, but he still is the
master of the clutch play. .

The Boston Celtic flash ne
ver looked better than he did
Sunday night when he poured
in 38 points in a 134-128 vic
tory over the Cincinnati Roy
als. Cousy, high scorer for the
game, scored 23 points in the
second - half as the Celtics
chalked up 42 points in the
third quarter and widened
their Eastern division lead in
the National Basketball asso
ciation. Bill Sharman netted
35 points for the Celtics, who
now have beaten the Royals
11 straight times over two
seasons.
Lakers Win
The Minneapolis Lakers
emerged from the Western
division cellar with a 106-100
triumph over- the Philadel
phia Warriors. Dick Garmak
er was high man for the Lak
ers with 23 points followed
by Elgin Baylor with 21.
Paul Arizin and Wilt Cham

pace-setting Celtics
Gene Shue scored 26 points
to lead the Detroit Pistons to
a 103-94 victory over the
New York Knickerbockers.
The victory was the Pistons'
third straight and the loss was
New Yorks' fifth in a row. De
troit, ahead all the way, led
by 24 points early in the last

stand a last-ditch rally by the
Knicks to win.

Layne's 45-yard pass to
Tom Tracy Sunday with 89
seconds to go gave the Seel
ers (3-4-1) a 14-9 upset tri
umph . over the New York
Giants and stunned a capaci
ty Yankee Stadium crowd .of
66,786. The perfectly-executed
toss, against a defense that
had not permitted a touch
down since it last faced Layne
Oct. 25, produced a costly de
feat for the Giants.
Like Browns of Old
. The Browns, looking more
and more like the Cleveland
teams that have dominated
pro football since World War
II, took quick advantage of
Layne's assist.
With Bobby Mitchell open
ing a three-touchdown spree
with a 90 -yard run, the
Browns made the Washington
Redskins (3-5) their fifth
straight victim, 31-17, and
deadlocked the Giants for the
Eastern division lead. How
ever, the Brownies will know
more about their feeling for
Layne after they play the
Steelers next Sunday at
Cleveland.
The Colts defending league
champions, get a chance to tie
the San Francisco Forty-Nin-ers
(6-2) for the Western lead
next Sunday at Baltimore. If
they do, the Colts (5-3) will
owe a vote of thanks to John
ny Morris and the Chicago
Bears.
Colls Edge Packers
Morris ran the opening
kickoff 58 yards to set up a
one-yard touchdown plunge
by Rick Casares and caught a
51-yard scoring pass from Ed
Brown to lead the Bears (4-4)
to a 14-3 triumph over the
Forty-Niners at Chicago. Bal
timore, with John Unitas fir
ing two scoring passes to Ray
Berry and the decisive touch
down toss to Jim Mutscheller, i
took advantage of Chicago's
help by edging the Green Bay
Packers, 28 - 24. Baltimore
started the day two games be
hind San Francisco.
The Philadelphia Eagles (5-
3) also benefited from Pitts
burgh's triumph, moving 'with

Browns each (6-2) in the East

dinals, 27-17. Clarence Peaks
plunged a yard to snap a. 17-

Opponents ShouOd
Emerge Saturday
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
New Year's Day rivals in
the Rose, Sugar and Orange
Bowls should emerge from
next Saturday's showdown
battles in five conferences but
Syracuse, the nation's No. 1
team, will have to wait until
Thanksgiving Day before
learning its Cotton Bowl op
ponent. Wisconsin, Was h i n g t o n,
Louisiana' State, Clemson and
Missouri are favored to win
the juciest plums - but the
footballs have been, taking
crazy bounces the last two
weeks and the craziest may
be yet to come: Six of the
country's top 11 teams and
eight of the top 20 were beat
en in last Saturday's series of
form reversals.
Texas, beaten, 14-9 by Tex
as Christian in one of the up
sets which left Syracuse and
Southern California the only
major perfect - record teams,
can. win a share of the. South
west Conference title and the
conference's Cotton Bowl bid
opposite Syracuse by beating
Texas A&ivi, .Nov. zo. (
Here's how the situation
shapes up in the five most
lucrative bowls as the season
heads for its grand climax:
Rose Bowl: Wisconsin .(4-2)
can win the Big Ten bid by
beating Minnesota (1-5) even
if Northwestern (4-2) defeats
Illinois (3-2-1. Michigan State,
also 4-2, has finished its con
ference schedule. The West
Coast bid will go to Washing
ton (6-1) if the Huskies beat
Washington State. A Washing
ton loss and an Oregon (5-1)
victory over Oregon State
would give the berth to the
Ducks.
Sugar Bowl: Georgia (6-0)
clinched its first Soutneasiern
Conference title since 1948
when it beat Auburn, 14-13,
Saturday but it is- a doubtful
choice. Louisiana State (4-1)
probably will get the host
berth if it beats Tulane (0-4-1)
LA Losses
May Cost
Coach Job
Detroit - (UPD - Speculation
ran high today that the Los
Angeles Rams' fourth straight
loss Sunday might cost coach
Sid Gilman his job-but prob
ably not before the end of the
season.
There was an abundance of
Rani high brass and former
brass at the error - studded
game Sunday when the fav
ored Rams were beaten 23-17
by the Detroit Lions before
52,271 fans. -
The loss gave the Rams six
losses and two wins for the
season and dropped them to
the ' bottom of the National
Football league's Western di
vision, occupied until Sun
day by the Lions who moved
into, fifth place with a record
of two wins, five losses and a
tie.
Former Ram coaches Hamp
Pool and Bob Snyder were at
the game, apparently as spec
tators, along with Ram own
ers Fred Levy and president
Dan Reeves.
Both Levy and Reeves re
peated statements that Gill-
man would be on hand to call
the shots in next Sunday's
game at Philadelphia with the
Eagles and for the rest of the
season.
The Rams poor showing
this season so far' after the
owners had expected a cham
pionship team - could be part
ly explained as due to Ram
fumbles.
The Rams lost the ball
three times Sunday by fum
bling, one of which the Lions
capitalized on in the third
period to tally the second of
their two touchdowns. "

and there is a chance the
"visitor's" bid will go to
Mississipp (4-1) which winds
up opposing Mississippi State,
Nov. 28.
Orange Bowl: The odds are
that Missouri will clinch the
Big Eight's berth by beating
Kansas 1 while Oklahoma
downs Iowa State. Oklahoma

played in the bowl last Jan.

The Orange Bowl committee
Sunday listed LSU, Georgia

rivals for the Big Eight team.
Cotton Bowl: Syracuse an

bid after blasting Colgate, 71

pends upon the result of the
Nov. 26 game between Texas
and Texas A&M. It'll be Ar

as Christian can share in the
conference crown but can't
get the bid to the bowl.
Gator Bowl: Clemson (5-1)
can clinch the Atlantic Coast
conference title by beating
Wake Forest (3-2). Georgia,
Penn State, Mississippi and
Tennessee are other leading
candidates on a list a mile
long. ' .. "
No bowl bids will be in
