TUESDAY, OCTOBER x9,1954 THE MCHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN LIONS FACE 49ERS: NFL Title Contenders To Meet Sunday By PHIL DOUGLIS National Football League con- tenders smash head-on this com- ing weekend as the first and sec- ond place teams in each division meet in games that will go a long way to deciding the eventual king- pins' of the professional gridiron world. The front running Detroit Lions meet the fast closing San Fran- cisco 49ers in a big game on the West Coast, while the high flying Philadelphia Eagles tear into the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Smoky City. Both games are loaded with im- portance. The Lions and 49ers ap- pear to be the best in the West- ern loop, as a result of last week- ends' action. The Rams are dead, crumbling to Green Bay and elim- inating themselves from conten- tion, at least for the time being. The Rams have only won once in four starts. This leaves the Bears and Colts, neither of which are of title caliber. Therefore, all eyes should be glued on Kezar Stadium next Sunday afternoon. In the Eastern Division, the Philadelphia Eagles, who along with Detroit, are the only unbeat- en and untied team in pro foot- ball, must meet the giant killing Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers, showing tremen- dous power in topping the Cleve- land Browns last Sunday, boast a powerful passing game, and lookj like a coming power. One cannot discount, however, the fast im- proving New York Giants, now leading the league in scoring. In 1953, the Giants were last in that department. Passing Pays These five contenders, along with the youthful Green Bay' Packers, all triumphed last Sun- day, largely as a result of passing. The 49ers were an exception to this rule, rolling on the ground as well as most teams move through the air lanes. But perhaps the most shocking affair of last weekend's action was the demise of the Cleveland Browns as a foot- ball power. The death-rattle of the once mighty Browns echoed long and loud over the league, as the Steel- ers trampled the remains of one of pro football's greatest dynasties into the turf of Forbes Field to the tune of 55-27. It was the worst loss in Cleveland history. The men who sent the once mighty Browns into defeat were Jimmy Finks, a plastic masked juarterback who hurled four touch- down passes, and Ray Mathews, who caught three of them, and ran for another. Under the sodden skies of the smoky city, Johnny Lattner, Jackie Butler, Fran Rogel, and Russ Craft rounded out the Pitt touchdown parade, and coupled with the performances of Mat- thews and Finks, seem to give evi- dence of a football power in the making. Packers Roll In the upset of the day, some of Milwaukee's sports revival must have rubbed off on the Green Bay pro league along with Detroit's more Colts 35-0 in Briggs Stadium Saturday night. The Lions switch- ed to the air, in contrast to their usual ground game, to blank the Colts as Bobby Layne and Tom Dublinski completed 22 of 35 passes for 335 yards, thereby re- maining in first place in the West- ern Division. A near upset almost material- ized in Chicago's Wrigley Field as the fast rising Chicago Bears, the third place team in the Western Conference, lost a squeaker to the San Francisco 49ers, 31-24. Joe Perry, Hugh McElhenny and John Johnson led a blistering ground attack thatenabled the coast team to overcome a three point Bear halftime lead, and more than match a second half Chicago ral- ly. The other entry from the Windy City, the lacklustre Chicago Car- dinals, ran into too much offense at New York, and bowed to the Giants, 31-17. The New Yorkers leaped off to a two touchdown lead, and never gave up, coasting to an easy win. Kyle Rote and Frank Gifford each took pitchouts from quarter- back Charlie Conerly and tossed touchdown passes to get the Gi- ants off and running. On the Car- dinal side of the ledger, a 50 yard field goal by George Summerall provided the days high spot. NFL STANDINGS Macks Sell A's After 54 Years By The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA-The Philadel- phia Athletics, starting a new era under syndicate control after 54 years of rule by the Connie Mack family, played a waiting game last night, with little to do but accept congratulations. Among the felicitations were telephone calls from Arnold John- son, the Chicago businessman, who sought to buy the franchise and transfer it to Kansas City. "I've talked with Roy and Earle Mack and extended my best wish- es," Johnson said. He expected to leave at 5 p.m. for Chicago. "But," he continued, "I'm still puzzled about the whole thing." His state of mind was under- standable. Until late Sunday, the 47-year-old Chicagoan appeared a shoo-in to be the next owner of the club. He had offered close to $3,375,000 to take over the fran- chise, its debts and assets and to move it to Kansas City. He had received American League approv; al last Tuesday to buy the club. Then in four days a syndicate was formed and it accomplished something that had not been done in four months, it bought 91-year- old Connie Mack's 302 shares for $604,000. Earle Mack, retiring gen- eral manager and executive vice president, was paid $450;000 for his 163 shares. Roy Mack was paid $200,000 and reinvested $250,000 in the new organization. He also re- ceived a one-year contract as an executive with the club at $25,000 a year. I COLUMBUS, Ohio (IP) -Th odds-fellowsare having a tough time picking a favorite for Sat- urday's Wisconsin-Ohio State grid game. A certainty is that at least 83,400 fans will fill the big Buck- eye horseshoe for the torrid tus- sle. Both the Badgers and Bucks are unbeaten. Both are in the top 5 I nationally. Both are in the Big Ten. Both want to go to the Rose Bowl. And the statistics for four-game winning streaks show they're just that even on the field, too.

Roger Zatkoff, former Michigan Star, sparked the Pack- er line. Scoring three touchdowns in the final period, the Pack turned Milwaukee's County Stadium into bedlam. Rote was the star of the day, throwing three TD passes, and running for another. It was the Packers first win of the sea- son, and coming on the heels of three heartbreaking defeats, it in- dicates that the tiny Wisconsin town is in for some better foot- ball in the near future. The high-flying Philadelphia Eagles, paced by Adrian Burke's phenominal s e v e n touchdown passes, routed the Washington Redskins, 49-21. The win pushed the Birds into first place in the Eastern Division. Burke tied Sid Luckman's 1943 record of seven payoff passes, but lost some of the glory to Wash- ington rookie Dale Atkeson, who rambled 99 yards on a kickoff re- turn midway in the second pe- riod.

He's currently studying for an M.S. degree and expects to receive it next year. Like other engineering students, he's asking a lot of searching questions before deciding on a permanent employer. Jerry Risser answers: GeraldJ.IRisser, B.S. Chem. Eng., Univ. of Wisconsin (1937), is now assistant man- ager of the Engineering Service Division in Du Pont's Engineering Department, Wil- mington, Delaware. J THINK Iknowexactly what'sbehind that question, Don, because the same thing crossed my mind when I first graduated and looked around for a job. That was about seventeen years ago, when the Du Pont Company was much smaller than it is to- day. And there's a large factor in the answer, Don, right there! The advancement and growth of any employee depends to a considerable degree on the advancement and growth of his employer. Promo- tion possibilities are bound to be good in an expand- ing organization like Du Pont. Right now, for example, construction is in prog- ress or planned for three new plants. That means from within the organization-on merit: My own field, development work, is a natural for a young graduate, because it's one of the fundamental branches of engineering at Du Pont. There are com- plete new plants to design, novel equipment prob- lems to work on, new processes to pioneer-all sorts of interesting work for a man who can meet a chal- lenge. Many of the problems will involve cost studies -some will require evaluation in a pilot plant-but, in every case, they'll provide the satisfactions which come from working with people you like and respect. All in all, Don, your chances of advancement on ,.+ r mioh+h ondi nt DuPont!
