Houston 24 Dallas 17, Denver 14 SF Utilizes Red-Dog To Advantage ' By HAL WOOD San Francisco - IUPH - A bundle of hustle and a bit of old-fashioned "red - dogging" , kept the San Francisco Forty Niners in the National Foot ball league's western division race today. . . ' , . Tho Forty Niners, smother ing every effort except one of the Chicago Bears; chalked up a 25-7 victory Sunday for their third win of .the cam paign against three losses. The triumph also handed the Bears their second whip ping of the season - just when they were supposed to romp home with the championship. They have three victories and were tied by the Los Angeles Earns. "' "It was our best effort of the year," Bald Coach Hickcy of the Forty Niners. "And we have to give most of the credit to the defense. Gordon Kelley, Ed Henke and the others were terrific. They never gave the Chicago quar terbacks a chance." R. C. Hero The offensive hero of the game, as far as the 55,071 customers were concerned, was R, C. Owens. Ho caught an over-the-head puss In tho end zone for a touchdown Just before the half - a catch con sidered almost impossible It was a 33-yard toss from John Brodie, who came in for starting quarteback Y. A. Tittle early in the game and did an outstanding job, Tittle was slightly injured. Owens was being covered by Bear halfback Eric Barnes, who was right on top of the Forty Niner ace. But Owens -a high jumping ex-basketball player - went high in the air and took the ball over his shoulder for the score that put San Francisco ahead, 20-7 at half-time. , ' - . "That Owens," fumed Clark Shaughnessy, Bear dufensive coach, "He . disrupts your whole defense. You don't know where to play him -or how. You might say he set our whole defense for us."

The Packers don't often overwhelm an opponent. They chip chip away, come from behind and have a knnck of coming through with the big play. In case you've forgotten, those were the tactics tho Pi rates used to win the baseball world championship. The Packers, seeking their first National Football league crown since 1944, took over sole possession of first place in the Western division Sun day when they rallied for a 10-13 victory over the Pitts burgh Steelei's - and right In the Plniles' ballpark, at that. Paul Horiuing chipped away with four field goals - two of 35 yards and others of 47 and 17 - to give Green Bay an early 12-0 lead before a crowd of 30,155.' Bobby Layne, playing with a still sore thumb, put the Steelers ahead with touchdown passes of'37 yards to Tom Tracy and 48 yards to Buddy Dial. In Final Minute , But the Packers struck back for 'the winning touchdown with only 63 second remain ing. They gained possession on their Own 34 by jarring the Steelers for their fifth fumble of the afternoon Quarterback Bart Starr set up the score by passing 15 and 14 yards to Boyd Dowler and fullback Jlm Taylor plunged over Irom the one. This whs Green Bay's fourth victory In five games, with a big one coming up next Sunday against the dc- MEDFORIv5V-TlRn3TJNK Tornado JV Ends Slate Unbeaten Medford High school jun ior varsity football team whipped Grants Pass 29 to 12 Saturday to complole an eight-game season unbeaten.

The Broncos stormed back in the final quarter on a 55 yard touchdown pass from Frank Tripucka to Bob Mc Namara, but their last 'scor ing threat failed when Gene Mingo missed a field goal at tempt from the 20. A fumble and a short punt by Denbcr set up Dallas' two first-half touchdowns. A 34 yard screen pass from Cotton Davidson to Abnor Ilayncs put tile ball in position for the first score and Al Carmichael's 47-yard run from scrimmage produced the second.
