DETROIT-The Detroit Lions
appear to have lost their magic
spell over the Baltimore Colts.
After their consecutive losses in
their last three games with the
Lions, and after getting off to
their poorest start in four years,
no one would have blamed the
Colts if they had come into Tiger
Stadium, lost the game, and hop-
ped on the plane back to Balti-
more.
But, as it turned out, Steve
Myhra won .his third game of the
season, and the Colts evened their
record at three and three.
And the Lions also evened their
record to three and three.
Streak Over?
Observing the Lions, one gets
the feeling that the streak which'
enabled them to win their last
NFL Standings
four games last season and their
first two this year has come to an
end. And with it the Lions' hopes
for a league or division champion-
ship.
The Lions' pre-season press
buildup seemed to imply that they
could continue the streak with
which they closed the 1960 sea-
son and would establish them-
selves as the truly great team
they were after finding themselves
in the first half of the '60 sea-
son.
And ;the Lions did continue
their winning ways;, they edged
out Green Bay 17-13, and squeak-
ed by the Colts 16-15. In neither,
game did they even approach an
impressive offensive display, but
the defense seemed to be carry-
ing them. Then, in their third
game, the Lions suffered a .com-
plete defensive collapse. Com-
pletely befuddled by the 49ers'
shotgun offense, the previously
strong Detroit defense allowed the
San Franciscans to score at will
and ended up losing by 49-0. A
second defensive collapse allowed
the Chicago Bears to gain a 31-
17 win.

offense for a supposed pennant
contender.I
Then came the Rams. A fairly
good offensive team with a very9
porous defense, the Rams present-,
ed the Lions an excellent oppor-
tunity to revive their dormant
offense.
The Lions won the game, 14-13.
The Rams missed a 19 yard field
goal in the fourth quarter. 1
On this note, the Lions prepar-
ed to host their cousins, the Colts.I
The once-proud world's champions
were, to say the very, very least,
having a difficult time of it. Hob-
bled by injuries, retirements, dis-.1
sensions, and, most of all, the col-1
lapse of John Unitas.
Before the season opened, the
Colts had lost starting guard Art
Spinney, and starting defensive
halfback Milt Davis, both of whom
had retired. In addition, fullback
Alan Ameche had to give up foot-
ball because of a torn Achilles
tendon, and his immediate un-
derstudy, Billy Pricer, had his ca-
reer ended because of the same,
injury. And this was not all.
Undergoes Surgery
Ray Berry, all-everything of-
fensive end and favorite target of
John Unitas, was forced to under-
go a knee operation which would
keep him out of the Colts' first
three games. Then the Colts trad-
ed away Big Daddy Lipscomb, de-
fensive back John Sample, and
starting center Buzz Nutter to the
Steelers.
Berry, incidentally, caught eight
passes against the Lions and has
now caught 24 in the slightly less
than three games for the Colts.
This year he depided to spot
Retzlaff, Randle, Rote, and the
league's other top ends a few
games so as not to make the passes
caught race as boring as last
year's.
Matte Injured
Then the Colts' first draft
choice, Tom Matte of Ohio State,
was injured early in the season and
forced to stay out of action for
at least six weeks.
And finally, Unitas was defi-
nitely not himself.
Of the Colts earlier games,. let
it suffice to say that the defense
was still learning, and that the
offense, with the mysteriously in-
effective Unitas at the helm, was
not up to par.
These, then were the two teams
which met at Tiger Stadium Sun-
day. The Colts eventually won, 17-
14, on Steve Myhra's 45 yard field
goal with only eight seconds left
in the game, but the outcome was
relatively insignificant.
The Lions need a passing of-
fense to spring their running
backs; the Colts need a running
attack to loosen the defense and
make things easier for Unitas,

NCAA Votes
To Endorse,
Federation
NEW YORK M-The Council of
the NCAA yesterday enorsed a
proposed organization that would,
in effect, strip - the AAU of its
power over basketball in the Unit-
ed States.
The proposal was in the form
of a memorandum from a special
AAU-Olympic Relations Commit-
tee and the NCAA Executive Com-
mittee.
Recommends Federation
The memorandum recommend-
ed that a United States Basketball
Federation of five interested or-
ganizations representing inter-
scholastic competition, intercol-
legiate competition, armed forces
competition, open competition,
plus an at-large member be form-
ed.
The AAU now controls all inter-
national basketball in the United
States and has the power to veto
any competition by teams its does
not approve. Under the new fed-
eration, the AAU would merely
have a partial vote.
The AAU also holds the United
States membership in the Interna-
tional Amateur Basketball Fed-
eration (FIBA).
Tol Confer Again
"We are going to hold one more
meeting with the AAU in hopes
of reaching an agreement," said
NCAA Executive Director Walter
Byers after the opening session
of the Council's regular three-day
fall meeting. "We already have
had four meetings and have made
no appreciable progress.
"If no agreement is reached, the
FIBA will have to hold a hearing
to decide if the Federation of
the AAU ,-will represent United
States basketball interests."
jGRID SELECTI.ON'S
Some body didn't read the script last week.
This was supposed to be the toughest list of college games ever
compiled for Grid Picks, but Jim Pierpont just wasn't fooled.
Pierpont scored 19 right, missing only the Notre Dame-Michigan
State game, for the highest prediction record so far. Besides that,
there were ties at 18 right,.17 right 16right, etc.
In fact, the only one who had any trouble was Ed Honman, who,
displayed an absolutely uncanny ability to pick losers. Except for the
Columbia-Harvard game, Honman picked the games just the opposite
of his roomie, Neil Keats. Keats ended up with 18 right, but Honman
hit a new low, three right, missing everything but Columbia; Penn
State and Clemson.
To enter this week's contest for two free tickets to the Michigan
Theater, now showing "Bridge to the Sun," bring in your choices be-
fore Friday midnight to Grid Picks, Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard, Ann
Arbor.
