MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1960 Long Ball Pays Off For Chicago Bears Chicago - IUPD - The so-call- ed "long ball" made Us ap pearance in a professional football game between San Francisco and Chicago Sun day - and it knocked the Forty Niners out of a first place tie in the National league "' The Forty Niners kept pos cession of the ball during nearly two-thirds of the game, but during the other third the Bears just ran . . and ran ; . . and ran. The final score was Chicago 27, San Fran cisco 10. Chicago scored four touch downs - and the shortest one came on a 37-yard run by Johnny Morris. Earlier, Mor ris rambled 61 yards to score, and J. C. Caroline romped 59 yards to the end zone aft er recovering a fumble. The Bears put the frosting on the cake in the third pe riod with a 92-yard scoring Bye Appreciated By LA Chargers ; Denver - IUPD - Whoever planned the Los Angeles Chargers' 1 9 6 0 American Football league schedule ought to receive a booming thank you from Sid Gillman, the team's coach. : The Chargers have a bye this coming week end, and although Gillman might want the game experience for his up and down ball club, the off date it is a sure way to save Los Angeles a defeat V No one could really have been sure the Chargers would finish on the wrong end of the score if they were to have a game Sunday, but after Sunday's upset 23-19 victory over the Denver Broncs there's a good bet it would have been a bad aft ernoon. The surprising Chargers, who the last four weeks have won while they were suppos ed to lose and vice versa, are now 3-3 in AFL play-.. play on a pass from quarter back Ed Brown to Bill Dew veall. ' The Forty Niners complete ly dominated the statistics in their battle with the "Mon sters of the Midway" - but the NFL doesn't pay off on statistics. San Francisco controlled the ball for 85 offensive plays, to 35 for the Bears. The Forty Niners also dominated the following statistics: first downs, 23-6; first downs rush ing, 14-4; first downs pass ing, 7-2; total yards gained, 298-231; net yards gained rushing,. 229 - 150. Chicago held a slight edge on net yards gained passing, 81-69, LA Plagued By Trouble Baltimore - IUPII - Any way you look at it the Los An geles Rams have got trouble, trouble, trouble. A glance backward shows a 12-game National Football league losing streak starting last year and continuing with four reverse decisions this season. - A glance at ' the present shows a battered Rams club, still sore from absorbing a decisivs 31-17 defeat by Bal timore's world champion Colts Sunday in , Memorial Stadium . ,. 1 A look at the future shows next Sunday's game in the Los Angeles Coliseum with George Halas, the Chicago Bears and presumably more "jamming, tactics" by Bear linebacker Bill George. The Rams had a lot Sun day as they outgained and out-first downed the Colts, but Baltimore had Moore Lenny Moore The ex-Penn Slate half back powered and shifted his way to four touchdowns to ruin Ram hopes and -give a turnaway crowd of 57,808 just what they , were scream ing for i- "More, more, more.

National Football league's most danger ous breakaway runner, I And that's a big reason why the Cleveland Browns own the only unbeaten-untied rec ord in either the NFL or the American Football' league.' Mitchell, a habitual "fumble bug" when he broke Into the league in 1958, was both sure' "handed and sure-footed Sun day when he led the Browns to a 48-7 romp over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught a short pass from Milt Plum and raced 46 yards for Cleveland's first score, bolted 30 yards from scrim mage for another, and ran back a kickoff 90 yards for. a third TD. Those runs and four intercepted passes were more than enough to send the Cow boys down to their fourth straight defeat before approxi mately 28,500 fans at Dallas. Mitchell, who was over shadowed by bulldozing Jim my Brown for the past two seasons, now has scored 7 touchdowns and averaged 7 yards in 35 carries during the Brown's three triumphs. Cleveland took over the Eastern Division lead when the New York Giants were held to a 24-24 tie by. the Washington Redskins in Sun day's biggest surprise. The Chicago Bears defeated the San Francisco Forty - Niners, 27-10, and shared the West ern Division lead with the Bal timore Colts, who beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31-17. The Pittsburgh Steelers toppled the St. Louis Cardi nals, 27-14, and the Philadel phia Eagles beat the Detroit Lions, 28-10, in the other games. In the American Football league, the Houston Oilers re tained first place in the East ern Division with a 20-10 win over the Dallas Texans; the Los Angeles Chargers upset I the Western Division - leading Denver Broncos, 23-19; the Oakland Raiders defeated the Boston Patriots, 27-14, and the New York Titans rallied to beat the Buffalo Bills, 17-13. There were several new stars in Sunday's NFL program. Second Half Rally - Ralph Guglielmi, playing despite a virus condition which clogged his throat with phlegm, recovered from a wretched first half and com pleted 13 out of 16 passes dur ing the; final half as Washing ton rallied to tie the Giants before a crowd of 60,629 in New York. Guglielmi's passes spared two last - period touchdown drives, his last aerial sailing 21 yards into the arms of Jim Podoley in the end zone with 25 seconds left on the clock. The Skins got the break for the final TD when New York's Jimmy Patton fumbled an on- side kick and lineman Vince Promuto recovered with two uuuutua leu tu piay. Lennie Moore, an "old" hero, ran for three touch downs and caught a 22-yard pass from Johnny Unitas for another score in Baltimore's victory before ' 57,808 home fans. Two of . Moore's TDs were on 57 and 34-yard runs from scrimmage. The touchdown pass con tinued Unitas' record string through 41 games. The set back was the 12th in a row for Los Angeles, dating back to last season. J. C. Caroline romped 57 yards with' a recovered fum ble and Johnny Morris bolted 61 and 37 yards -from scrim mage for touchdowns that sent the Bears on to victory over the Forty Niners before 48, 226 at Chicago. Bill Dewvcall completed the Chicago scor ing by running 74 yards with a 91-yard .scoring pass from Ed Brown. -'.,. Hickey Blasts Defense Coach George Halas of the Bears praised his defensive unit for the best work of the season and Red Hickey of San Francisco blasted his de fenders for "giving the game away." Norm Van Brocklin threw two touchdown passes and set up another score with his tosses in the Eagles' home win before 38,065, and the Steel ers beat off the Cards' 14 point final quarter and clinch ed victory on a 51-yard scor ing pass from Tom Tracey to Jimmy Orr before 22,971 at Pittsburgh. In the AFL, George Blanda kicked field goals of 19 and 23 yards and threw one touch down pass in leading Houston to its fourth victory in five games. The Oilers intercepted five Dallas passes as the Tex ans third straight game before 19,026 at Houston. At Denver, "Toeless Ben" Agajanian kicked three field goals and halfback Paul Lowe scored on touchdown runs of 12 and 44 yards as Los An geles beat the Broncos and tightened the Western Divi sion race before a crowd of 19,141. Al Dorow of the Titans ran for two first downs in the final minutes after being un able to find receivers for pass es and then bucked over from the one for the winning touch down before 14,998 at Buffa lo. Dorow also passed for New York's first touchdown. Little Jack Larscheid ran 87 yards from scrimmage and Billy Lott scored on a 40-yard scamper as Oakland, sup posedly the league's weak sister, scored its third triumph by beating Boston before ap proximately 11,500 at . San Francisco.. Hivner Shines' For Huskies; Schoredt Hurt San Francisco - IUPD - Bob Hivner, Washington's reserve quarterback, was named Back of the Week today by the big five.
