Packers Lead In Statistics NEW YORK (UPD--The Green I Bay Packers wound up the sea son as statistical champions ol the National Football League and set a new record for first downs that attested to their reputation as masters of ball-control.

That total was three higher than the old mark set by the Los Angeles Rams during a 12-game 1950 schedule.

Here are the 10 other offensive categories in which the Packers were tops: first downs rushing H45I. net yards rushing 2,460 average yards per rush 4.7, pass completion percentage (60.1), total touchdowns (53), TD's running '39), extra points (52) and total points scored (415), fewest passes intercepted '13' and least yards on interception returns against them 122'.

Ranking second was the Tigers' disappointing drop from second to fourth place in the American League. The Lions' trade with the Cleveland Browns which resulted in the shuffling of quarterbacks i Plum and Jim Ninowski and acquisition of speedy halfback Tommy Watkins was selected as the third top story. Jack Adams' clouded resigna tion as front-office chief of the Detroit Red Wings and the Wings failure to make the Stanley Cup playoffs last season was voted the fourth best story of 1962. Fifth vote-getter was the flop Michigan State's highly-regardec football team--a pre-season choice for national, Big Ten and Rose Bowl honors.

The Spartans finished out of the money on all three counts. The remaining top i as the editors see them: 6. Tiger trades bring Gus Triandos, Bubba Phillips and Whitey Herzog into Motor City fold. 7. The Detroit Pistons peddle all star guard Gene Shue.

8. Detroit nominated as the U.S. Olympic bidder for 1968. 9. Detroit Red Wings get off to fast 1962-63 start after miserable wevious campaign.
