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."

Packers Taiio Lons Possession
Of First in National league
By NORMAN MILLER
United Press International
You might call the Green
Bay Packers the "Pittsburgh
Pirates" of pro football.
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-

In the American Football
league, whore the teams
haven't had time yet to build
up reputations, "upsets'" arc
plentiful and seven of the
eight clubs still are in the
running for the title.
Both division races were
tightened Sunday ' wlion the
Buffalo Bills upset the power
ful Houston Oilers, 25-24, and
the Dallas Texans defeaied
the Denver Broncos, 17-14.
As a result, Denver and the
Los Angeles Chargers are tied
for first place in the Western
division with 4-3 records, fol
lowed by the Oakland Haid
ers with 4-4 and Dallas with
3-4.
Houston, despiic the defeat
which left its record 5-2,
topped the Eastern division,
followed by the New York
Titans with a 4-4 mark and
Buffalo with 3-4. Only the
Boston Patriots, who have
won two and lost five, appear
to be out of tide contention,'
Attendance Rises
This equality of competition
and the wide-open football be
ing played undoubtedly are
responsible for the gradual in
crease in attendance. A crowd
of 23,001 watched Sunday's
game at Buffalo and 13,102
fans showed up at Denver.
This is still far short of (he
turnouts for games in tho es
tablished National Football
league, but the well-heeled
AFL owners are counting on
business to keep improving as

Beaver Play
Not at Par
Corvallis - HIPII - California

Oregon State wasn't.
That was the story as the
Golden Bears, winless in six
football games, came on with
two touchdowns in the second
half to down the Beavers 14-6
Saturday. .
California gained its prized
victory behind a smashing
ground game, led by fullbacks
Walt Arnold and George
Pierovich, and sophomore
Randy Gold's smooth quarter
backing. And the Golden Bears did
it despite a record-cracking
83-yard touchdown run in the
first quarter by tailback Ter
ry Baker, who ran up 252 to
tal yards rushing and passing
to break the all-time Oregon
State season's individual total

Bear Coach Marv Levy at
tributed the victory all to a
Beaver "letdown" but OSC
mentor Tommy P r o t h r o,
whose squad was favored by
two touchdowns, called it a
"well-earned win" for Cali
fornia. "Cal -played a good ball
game," Prolhro said. "They
deserved to win. In fact, we
were lucky to be ahead at
halftime."
Prothro did admit that his
team's play was not up to
par. "We fumbled, didn't
block, didn't move out, were
offside and played no de
fense," he said. '
