The Cleveland win avenged an earlier 56-28 loss to the 49ers, only team to beat the champs in their last 32 starts. The scrap featured a personal duel between the rival quarterbacks who shared the league's most with the 100-mile feature at 2 p.m. All drivers are requested to be at the track by nine in the morning to make final adjustments to their cars and be ready for the time trials.

Bob Jackson, manager of the Southwestern Racing association, stated that the track will be the fastest possible. The motorcycle races held yesterday packed the track down well so a lightning-fast oval is predicted. Only a cloudburst can keep the races from going on. Unlike other racing events the stock cars can mobile in the wet going as it only adds to the hazardness of the course. Some of the drivers and the cars they will drive are: Jeff Harris in a 42 Hudson, Eddie Clay in a Chevrolet, Dan Gray in a 1940 Hudson, Richard Bennett in a '40 Ford, Pee Wee Jackson in a '38 Ford, Pat Patton in a '42 Ford and George Hollingsworth behind the wheel of a 1948 Kaiser.

Los Angeles, Oct. 30 (JP). The Los Angeles Rams today hammered and passed the Chicago Bears into submission, 27 to 24 In a wild battle witnessed by the largest and per- naps tne loudest crowd ever to watch a National league game. The attendance was S6.0S0. Thrill built upon thrill and climaxes became anti-climaxes in the final minutes of the game and the Rams came from behind in the final five minutes to capture the contest after a series of spine tingling events.

Trailing, 24-20, after leading all tne way, little Tom (Cricket) Kal manir took a Bear kickoff and raced it back 57 vards. The Rams caught fire and went on to the Bear 17 with Bob Water- field turning in perhaps his greatest game under pressure. The Bears were called for a pass, interference, John Hoffman on V. T. Smith, and from the one yard line Fullback Gerry Cowhig crashed over for the winning touchdown.

Chicago entered the fourth quar ter trailing, 20-10, but suddenly Johnny Lujack got his forces mar shalled and the3 paraded SO yards STATISTICS ented backfield foursome at the Golden Tigers in an effort to off set the jinx. Albany Jones, versatile fullback who can punt, pass and run, will carry the offensive load for Gramb ling along with "jarring Jawn Christophe who boasts a jibbom straight arm and is a terror on re verses.

SMS 85 -hlf ref(i. I Tds lost by penalties 103 67 Chicago, Oct. 30 JP). The New York Giants erased a 3-touchdown deficit in the second half for a thrilling 41-38 victory over the Chicago Cardinals in a National football league game witnessed by 21,339 at Comiskey park today. The Giants overcame a 28-7 half-time lag and then, with 4 minutes left, erased a 39-34 Cardinal lead with a 5-yard scoring plunge by Joe Scott after a 68-yard pass from Chuck Conerly to Gene Roberts.

The triumph moved the Giants into a second-place tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the eastern division, each with 4 wins and 2 defeats. The Steelers today lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-7. The New York club, making its second Comiskey park league appearance since 1930, turned the tide with 3 third-period touchdowns, 2 coming within 2 minutes after the intermission kickoff. Roberts smashed for 2 touch downs and his running, along with Conerly's passing, spoiled the Car dinal nead coaching debut of Buddy Parker. Last week, the Cardinals broke up their cocoaching combination of Parker and Phil Handler, the latter being moved into the club vice presidency.

The Cardinals roamed to 308 yards by rushing, compared with 181 by New York, but in the air tne Giants held a 139-to-82 edge, all on Conerly's 9 completions in 22 tries. The Giants appeared hopelessly bogged down after the Cardinals whipped across 4 first-half touch downs, 2 scored by Boris Diman-cheff in a high-geared running at- tctCK. New York's only first-half score came on an 11-yard flip from Conerly to Bill Swiacki in the opening quarter. But Jack Salscheider took the second-half kickoff back 95 yards for a touchdown and the Giants suddenly perked. Little more than a minute later, end Frank Lovuolo grabbed Charley Trippi's fumble and ambled 25 yards for another Giant touchdown.

Then a third straight New York score came on Roberts' 1-varrt smash to cap a 63-vard Giant march which reduced the Cardinal lead to 28-27. The Cardinals played it safe near the end of the third stanza with Ventan Yablonski's 27-yard field goal for a 31-27 margin. iiut at -the outset of the fourth quarter, the Giants zoomed 64 vards for their fifth touchdown, Roberts banging across from the 1-foot line. giving New York the lead for the first time, 34-31. Angsman's second touchdown, on 26-yard run, moved Chicago in front, 38-34, but then came New York's lightning strike for its sixth score on the long Conerly-to-Rob- erts pass and Scott payoff plunge.

Ouachita Defeats Neville, 19 to 7 Monroe, Oct. 30 (JP). The Ouachita Parish high school Lions had their hands full here last night, but finally broke a 7-7 tie in the last quarter to defeat Neville high school's Tigers, 19 to 7. It was the first football game to be played between rival football teams of Monroe in 38 years. Ouachita scored first in the second quarter when Mark Boatright pitched a 12-yard touchdown pass to Bob Carter.

Boatright kicked the point. Neville tied it up early in the fourth period when Benny Heiden-reich ran nine yards around end to score after a 37-yard pass, Wayne Baugh to Bud Lyons, had set the ball on the Lion nine. But Ouachita came hammering back to drive 59 yards to paydirt, with Troy Counts, a guard converted to fulback, plunging over from the five. With two minutes to play Bob Carter intercepted a Neville pass and ran 50 yards for the last touchdown. I Pittsburgh, Oct.

30 (P) The power-packed Philadelphia Eagles wrecked the Pittsburgh Steelers football "Cinderella story" today bv roaring to a 38-7 victory before 37.903 stunned fans. The result broke a deadlock between the clubs and gave the Eagles undisputed possession of the top spot in tne National Football league's eastern division. Bitter feeling between the clubs exDloded into an outburst ot legal infighting which saw each club lose two players for fisticuffs in a penalty-marred third quarter The Eagles stepped into a 3-0 lead in 3:36 of the first period on Cliff Patton's 48-yard field goal and were in command the rest of the way. They scored in every period, running up two touchdowns each in the second and final quarters. The Eagles owned a 24-0 lead be fore the Steelers nnaiiy nit pay dirt in the third period on a pass tmm ha if hack Jim Finks to Val Jansante for 35 yards.

Passing precision and running power spelled five touchdowns for the Eagles. A bit of Steelers strategy which dictated a quick kick near the end of the first period expioaea againt Pittsburgh and set up the first TCaffle TD. Guard Duke Moronic blocked the boot on the 20 and end John Green recovered on the one, Steven Van Buren bored through guard for the score as the second period opened. Joe Muha, taking over the conversion duties for Patton after Patton was forced out by a hip bruise, kicked the placement here and was successful on four more tries. Clvde (Smackover) Scott, raced 70 vards with a punt for the next touchdown with only 2:06 of the second period gone.

Van Buren, fairly well contained in the first half, came back thun dering in the second half to spear head an SO-yard Eagle march. He cracked over guard from six yards out after chewing off 55 of the SO yards in a series of running plays. After the Steelers scored to make the count, 24-7, Philadelphia, the big defending league champs, burst loose again in the final period with Frank Ziegler taking over the ground-gaining chore in a ol-yard march. Ziegler lugged the ball in six of seven plays to the Steeler one from where quarterback Tommy Thompson bounced over on a quarterback sneak. The final Eagle score was set up on a pass interception by Frank Reagan which he carried from the Eagle 46 to the Steeler 26 where he flipped a lateral to Maronic who nudged forward another yard.

After one running play, quarterback Bill Mackrides passed 17 yards to end Pete Pihos for the touchdown. The Eagles lost Walter Barnes and Chuck Bednarik, and the Steelers saw Frank Wydo and Charley Mehelich ousted in the third period rough play. All are linemen. Aside from the scoring drive which covered 72 yards, the Steelers saw little of Eagle territory. A pass interference ruling in the first period put them on the Eagle 32 but that was as far as they got.

In the third period they reached the 35 once on their own power before the scoring drive and the same spot again on a recovered fumble.

A superlative assemblage of stars will cavort here tonight when the Grambling Tigers slug away with Tuskegee Institute in the annual Louisiana State Fair classic before a sell-out crowd of 17,000 at Fair Ground stadium. Grambling, the scourge of the southwest, will enter the contest a two touchdown favorite over their strong rival from Alabama how ever, Tuskegee is widely recognized for its game-snatching exploits against intrinsically stronger op position and can always be counted on to pilfer a game or two each season. On three previous occasions 'Skegee has lassoed the Tigers when it was supposed to be overmatched by at least three touchdowns.

Grambling has never beaten a Cleve Abbott-coached team, but few follows expect the Alabamians to stretch the skein to four games tonight. A non-member of the Southwest conference, but inextricably linked with the loop in the public mind, the powerful Grambling eleven, which onlv three seasons ago was an unfamiliar, obscure figure in Bulldoes Tie 'Skins, 14-14 New York, Oct. 30 (JP). The New- York Bulldogs, still seeking their first National football league tri umph after five weeks of competition, gained a moral victory today when thev held the Washing ton Redskins to a 14-14 tie. Bobby Layne, former Texas luminary, passed to both Bulldog touchdowns.

One of the slimest gatnerings in manv pro seasons only was present to w-atch the toothless Bulldogs emerge noniosers lor tne first time in six starts. In an ear lier meeting in Washington, the Redskins had walloped the Pup pies, New York was forced to come from behind to gain its standoff and it was a spectacular interception of a Sammy Baugh pass to Johnny Rauch that set up the tying touchdown. Rauch, the former Georgia back- field ace, made a lunging grab of ugh's peg to give New ork the ball on Washington's 40-yard ne early in the fourth period. Lavrte then threw to end Nick Scollard, who caught the pigskin on the 23 and raced unmolested across the payoff stripe. Scollard added his second placement to tie it up at 14-14.

After Layne had put the Bulldogs in front, 7-0, with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Joe Golding early in the first period, the Skins struck back to tie the score at 7-7 after 3:26 of the second quarter. Baugh, the 35 year old "youngster," led the charge, as usual. He completed 7 straight passes before finally missing 1. One long heave to end Hugh Taylor from New York's 44, hit paydirt. Taylor plucked it out of the air on the 10 and scampered across.

Baugh's passing in the third period and some strong line bucking by fullback Tom Cochran placed the ball on New York's 1. Cochran ploughed over to put the Redskins ahead. Dick Poillon made it 14-7, with his second placement. The game was featured by the passing duel between Baugh and Layne. Sammy got the edge in jardage, but Layne's tosses paid off better.

Baugh completed 17 of 27 for 285 yards and 1 touchdown. Layne connected with 11 of 20 for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns. Score by periods: Washington 0 7 7 0 14 Y.

Packers Beat Lions, 16-14 Milwaukee, Oct. 30 (JP). Gray-tatched Tony Canadeo ripped off "yardage in huge chunks today to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 16-14 victory over the Detroit Lions in a National football league game before a slim crowd of 10,855 at State Fair Park. Canadeo, the league's leading ground gainer, tore through and around the Lion line for 117 yards in 21 carries for a fat 5.6 average to pull the Packers out of the Western division basement. The old "Gray Ghost of Gonzaga" slammed nine yards for the first Packer touchdown in the third period which gave Green Bay a 9-7 lead.

In all. Green Bay picked up 248 yards on the ground and 61 by passing on five completions in 15 tosses. Detroit got 215 vards rushing and completed 16 of 33 passes for 197 yards, mostly in the first half. The Packers grabbed an early lead when Ted Fritsch booted a 46-yard field goal with four minutes gone in the game, but it didn't last long. With Bill Dudley, Camp Wiluon and Bill Triplett doing most of the toting, the Lions drove 101 yards from the following kickoff with Dudley counting on a four-yard shot around end and then kicking the point.

Detroit threatened three times in the second period, but three times Dudley missed field goal attempts from the Packer 43, 34 and 44 yard lines. Green Bay bounced ino the lead the second time it had the ball the third period, driving 98 yards after Jack Jacobs intercepted one of Clyde Le Force's passes on the Packer two. Canadeo and Bob Forte did most of the lugging on the march, although two passes by Earl (Jug) Girard helped. Fritsch missed the point. A Detroit gamble on the Packer 46 as the fourth quarter opened cost the clinching touchdown.

Le Force elected to pass on fourth down and the ball fell incomplete. Canadeo and Forte picked up yardage to the Detroit 22, where Girard whipped a long pass to Ted Cook in the corner of the end zone. Fritsch didn't miss this time and the Packers led, 16-7, with 10 minutes to play. A second Lion gamble paid off five minutes later, Triplett skirting left end for 80 yards and a touchdown on a fourth down try for a single yard. Dudley again converted.

The Lions tried an kick with Dudlev recovering, and whipped to the Packer 29 in five nlavs. hut Dudlev missed his fourth field goal try of the day with less than three minutes to go and the Packers froze the ball for their second victory of the year.

lost by penalties SS valuable player award last season-automatic Otto Graham of th Browns and southpaw Frankie Al bert of the 49ers. They broke about even, each -passing for two touchdowns and scoring once on a sneak play Graham's for 20 jrards. Their hurling was so expert that not an interception was chalked up as Albert completed 14 of 27 for 253 yards and Graham connected on 14 of 25 for 271 yards. On the ground" the coast club had the edge, 224 yards to 129, but th Browns were the boys with the punch in the pinch. Superiority of the Browns was more marked than the score indicates, for the final San Francisco touchdown came in the last 11 seconds when the ho ie force were nine points out in front.

The Browns lost a touchdown In the scoreless opening quarter when a penalty nullified Graham's one-foot plunge into the end zone and set the stage for an 88-yard scoring march by San Francisco. The visitors moved the ball Ohio's 48 on runs by Verl Lilly, white, Joe Perry and Albert as th period ended. On the first play of the second session Albert hit Len Eshmont with a pass on the 27 and he went on in for a touchdown. Joe Vetrano booted the first of his four extra points and the 49ers were off in front. That set off a scorine- snTurtr.

of four touchdowns in seven minutes, each club getting two. Dub Jones carried the next kickoff back 64 yards; then the Browns moved yards in five plays with Graham hitting TJante Lavelli with a nine-yard toss to tie the score at 7-7. Albert pitched the 49ers right back into the lead, hurling perfectly to San Cathcart, freshman back, for 72 yards to the Brown's seven. From there Lillywhite plunged over. Back came the Browns with a seven-play sprint which covered SO yards, Jones plunging six for the touchdown.

In that advance Graham hit Marion Motley for 21 vards, Lavelli for 31 and Mac Speedie for 13 on successive plavs, rounding out six straight completions for 117 yards. Albert kept pace with, three straight completions for 134 yards. Graham came uo with his 2V yard sneak play to climax a 67-yard Brownie march at the start of the third quarter, and the local linemen thwarted a San Francisco surge to the eight late in the period. The 49ers started a new advance. however, and moved 35 yards on tne urst two plays of the final ses sion to knot it again at 21-21, for the touchdown.

A pass interference penalty plus Graham's 30-yard heave to Lavelli. moved the Browns to the 49ers' 32, and that's where Groza came up with his game-deciding three pointer, He booted it from the 38-yard line. The Browns put It on ice with a 77-yard march in 10 plavs, with Graham passing 11 to Speedie for the payoff. The surge was featured by Horace Gillom's circus catch of Graham's 28-yard aerial. Groza didn't get a eance to boot the extra point, the pass from center being high, but the Browns had a nine-point edge.

undaunted, the San Franciscans rolled 80 yards in nine plavs. de spite a 15-yard roughness penalty, finally sending Albert a yard on a sneak play for the final score with 11 seconds to go. Cathcart was the top ground gainer for San Francisco with 118 yards in 11 tries, while Graham topped the Browns with 43 yards on eight jaunts. Albert chalked up 57 yards in five runs, two of his best coming late in the game when he apparently was trapped on pass attempts.

Sports Trail Spring Camp Of Braves May Be Lively By GAYLE TALBOT (For Whitney Martin) New York, Oct. 30 (JP). The sunbaked little city of Bradenton, ill be a lively spot next spring when Manager Billy Southworth and his Boston Braves pitch their training camp on the banks of the Manatee. It probably will be the first camp In history where a routine search for deadly weapons will replace the customary bedtime check and where correspondents will scan adjacent waters for floating bodies night and morning. Southworth, being human, will spend a portion of his days wondering which 11 of his athletes didn't think he was even $331,66 worth of manager last year, and the players in question wrill shed excess weight in a hurry as they cultivate "who, me" expressions.

How it ill come out is anybody's guess at the moment. The onlv thing for certain seems to be that Commissioner Chandler, though meaning the best in the world, pulled a monumental boner in making public the sordid fact that the Braves voted their ill and absent pilot onry a half-share of their petty world series purse. The amount of money involved meant nothing to Southworth. Call it, roughly, a day pay for Billy the Kid. So Chandler's starry gesture only served, actually, to dis close that a majority of Brave regulars bear a vindictive grudge against their manager.

if you think the Cleveland cry babies" got a going-over from rival benches after they hamstrung Manager Oscar Vitt before the war, wait and see what the Na tional league's loudmouths can do to a collection of nickel nursers. It will be brutal that is, provid ing the Braves really do start the '50 season with Southworth at the helm and with a majority of the malcontents still on the club. Yankees Get 21 to 14 Win Over Colts New York, Oct. 30 (JP). New York's Yankees squeaked through with a 21 to 14 victory over Baltimore today and stayed on top of the All-America football conference standings.

All of the Colt's points came in the torrid third quarter. New York romped to three easy touchdowns before the intermission but every Yankee follower among the 10,692 paying customers was happy the game was over after Y. A. Tittle, Colt quarterback, put on his passing exhibition after the rest. During the third stanza, the LSU star completed 10 consecutive passes, pitching for both touchdowns within four minutes.

The major drama then began to unfold, with seven minutes left in the game. First the Rams, after losing the ball on Elroy Hirsch's fumble, stopped the Bears on downs on the four yard line. But the joy of the vast home town crowd was short-lived. After the Rams punted out, Lujack connected with a long pass to Ken Kavanaugh and the play went for 43 vards and sent the Bears ahead, 24-20. The Bears kicked off and little Kalmanir, the Nevada speedster, raced it back down the sideline 57 yards before Hoffman hauled him down.

Waterfield, from the Bear 35, passed to Tom Fears for 10, Cowhig ground out eight yards in two plunges into the enraged Bear line, and then came the pass interference in the end zone called on Hoffman.

He built up the amazing total of 303 yards in completing 24 out of 42 passes, with three interceptions.

Lujack, continually harrassed by the Ram forwards, completed eight out of 24 for 181 yards and the Bearts outdistanced the Rams on the ground, 167 to 82. CHICAGO BEARS Left ends Kavanaugh, Milner, Bulger. Left tackles Davis. Connor. Bauman.

A Joliet school official said today that seven players on the football team who allegedly stole goods from two stores on their way to a game, probably won't be expelled. But the official, Superintendent Hugh S.

Bonar, indicated that they might be kicked off the team. The players were accused of stealing merchandise from stores at Rockford, 111., when they stopped for dinner on their way to a game with Free-port Friday night. Police said they admitted the thefts and explained they "just wanted to take something." Four were arrested before the game and clapped in jail, while three were seized as they came off the playing Most of the players were first-string standouts on the powerful Joliet team, and as a result of the incident the school gained only a 6-6 tie with underdog reeport. Authorities said that larceny charges were placed against three of the youths, while complaints against four were dismissed. All were released, but the three charged will have to return to Rockford next Saturday for arraignment.

Coach Herman Wasler refused to comment on the incident or say whether he would recommend that the accused 003 be ousted from the squad. Bonar said the- school would not act until the case had been discussed thoroughly with the players involved and team officials. He indicated, however, that he felt it would be only fair to other members of the team to oust the way. igame nere to o.
