MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1962 - B 3 Green Bay Rallies By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sportt Writer The Green Bay Packers' bruising ground game and rugged defense have carried them througli another Nation al Football league crisis, and only a miracle win next Sun day by the Los Angeles Rams can prevent them from clinch ing their third straight West ern Division title. As for the Detroit Lions, who now have won seven straight games in an effort to earn that playoff berth op posite the New York Giants, i.t looks like a nice try but no cigar. For the manner in which the Packers battled back from an 11-point deficit to beat the San Francisco Forty Niners, 81-21, Sunday, they appear hardly likely to blow next week end's game against the Rams, whose 1-11-1 record is the poorest in the NFL. : Detroit clung to its forlorn hope of catching the Packers by defeating the Minnesota Vikings, 37-23, in a raggedly played game. The Lions wing up with the Chicago Bears Jiext week end. Meanwhile, the Giants, playing without any cham pionship pressure, defeated their old adversaries, the Cleveland Browns, 17-13, for their eighth straight victory. This is the Giants' longest ftreak since 1930. Stealers Clinch Second In other games, the Pills burgh Sleelers clinched sec ond place in the Eastern divi sion by defeating the Phil adelphia Eagles, 26-17; the Chicago Bears assured them selves of a third-place fin ish in the West by beating file Rams, 30-14; and the St. Louis Cardinals trounced the Dallas Cowboys, 52-20. On Saturday, the Baltimore Colts, beat the Washington Redskins, 34-21. Two NFL records and two team records, were set Sun day. Leo Nomellini, Forty Niners defensive tackle, played his 159th consecutive game and Lou Michaels of the Steelers kicked four field goals to set a season mark of 24. Z Rich Petitbon of the Bears ran 101 yards with an inter cepted pass to set a Bears Club record and Dick Bass of the Rams gained 169 rushing yards for a season team rec p.rrl of 95'5. - The Packers trailed San Francisco, 10-21, with eight minutes elapsed in the third period .when they decided that matters had gone far enough. .: Tom Moore broke through H big hole over center and ran 32 yards untouched for a touchdown that narrowed the Forty Niners' lead to 21-17. Then, early in the final pe riod, Bart Starr directed an 83-yard march that was cli maxed by Jim Taylor's two yard touchdown plunge. Defense Takes Over The Packers' defense then took over. They stopped a forty Niners' air drive on the Green Bay 12 and soon afterward Gabe Manner in tercepted a pass that set up a late 7-yard touchdown pass from Starr to Ron Kramer. The Forty Niners had pull rd away to their 11-point first half lead on the passing of John Brodie from an offense ..m . iTUi" SEARS ggSt 1 Jstsa osm FLOOD DAMAGED WET BRAKES?

Defensive halfback Dick LcBeau of the Lions scored twice and Milt Plum threw a pair of touchdown passes as Detroit took advantage of Min nesota's "giveaway" program and won.

Pete Runnels' Title Certified Boston-fUPIl-Two batting ti tles in three seasons is pretty fair hitting in any league, but Pete Runnels figures to have more trouble in the National than he did in the American. Traded to the Houston Colts by the Boston Red Sox two weeks ago, the 34 -year -old Runnels will be making his National league debut follow ing 12 successful seasons in the American league. Pete, strictly a punch hit ter, knew those AL pitchers like the back of his hand.

It was the second batting crown for Runnels, who cap tured his first in 1960 when he batted .320 for the Red Sox. His 1962 mark was the highest of his major league career. Runnels didn't break down any fences. He hit only 10 homers and drove in 60 runs In 152 games but he never really suffered a protracted batting slump all season and finished five points ahead of Mickey Mantle of the Yan kees. Mantle wound up ec ond with a .321 average. Rounding out the top five were Floyd Robinson of the White Sox, .312; Chuck Hln ton of the Senators. .310, and Norm Siebern of the Athle tics, .308. New York - HTIi - Rosey Brown and Bill Winter of the New York Giants were hon ored before Sunday's game with Cleveland.
