"The ends, Marv Gregory and Gene Lynch, were commissioned to charge the herk out of Klosterman. So was Bill Payne, who normally plays end but worked at tackle today because he's quick and agile. "They all did fine jobs." The motion was seconded by Klosterman, who had completed 69 out of 134 in three earlier games but was held to 12 for 30 today. Klosterman, who was spotted outside the dressing room talk ing football with Californias Johnny Olszewski and Billy Mais, said the Bronc air defense was the best he had faced this year.

14. (AP) New York's unbeaten Giants re ported to old fashioned football today. They ground out two last period touchdowns to come from behind and conquer Chicago's Cardinals, 28-17, before 28,093 spectators at the Polo Grounds. The victory was the Giants' second straight following their opening game tie with Pittsburgh, and left them in lone possession of first place in the American Conference as the only unbeaten team in the league. The defeat was the Cards' second in three starts.

Trailing, 17-14, at the end of three periods and with their aerial game held in check, tha Giants moved into scoring position when Em Tunnell, a brilliant defensive back today, made his third spectacular runback of a kick. This one was good for thirty yards and put the Giants on Chicago's 25. On the first offensive play of the final quarter, Fullback Eddie Price crashed over his own left guard and kept going for a touchdown which put the Giants in front, 21-17. Four plays later, Jim Duncan of New York' intercepted a Charley Trippi pass and Kyle Rote shot through right tackle for a twelve-yard touchdown. Ray Poole kicked his fourth straight extra point to close out the scor-ine.

The Rams, slight underdogs, won their second game in three NFL starts, with a third period explosion in two minutes and fifteen seconds that produced ten points. The Rams moved to the 19 yard line but Waterfield was thrown for a 20 yard loss and on fourth down booted a 46 yard field goal. An interception led to a touchdown, Hecker eluding two tacklers after catching the pass in the flat. The Rams rolled up 422 yards to Detroit's 197, the Lions' Doak Walker, Bob Hoernschemeyer and Pat Harder never breaking away. Don.

"They rushed me good, too. It was a nice job by Gallagher and the Broncos." The Nations leading pass catcher up to today at least the Lions' Fred Snyder, was blanketed by Rasmussen at left half. Snyder caught two and got credit for another reception when the zealous Rasmussen was charged with interference. Ras mussen admitted the tall Lion kept him in a constant state of jitters, and Del was a relieved as well as an acclaimed young man at the finish. Gallagher disclosed another strategic tack.

"They doubled up on Gern Nagler (Bronc All-Coast candidate), go we just didn't pass to him," said Dick.

The Detroit defeat was its first in league play. A crowd of 52,907 largest ever for a pro game here watched. Jack Christiansen, rookie Detroit halfback( streaked into the end zone with two punt returns, for 69 and 48 yards. The Lions battled back in the fourth period of the madcap game after falling behind 27-14.

But Waterfield, the former UCLA star with six years of pro experience behind him, helped the Rams' offense control the ball while the rookie Los Angeles line threw back two Lion punches. PASS TO TD'S. Waterfield passed 70 yards to Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hirsch and 20 yards to Norb Hecker, and Norm Van Brocklin passed 44 yards to Tommy Fears for the touchdowns. Waterfield also booted 36 and 46 yard field goals, converted three times and completed 12 of 23 passes. Dome Dibble caught a 30 yard touchdown pass from Quarterback Bobby Layne to start the Lions' scoring the second period after the Rams took a 10-0 lead.

The Lions moved ahead on Chris tiansen's 69 yard punt return but the Rams took a 17-14 halftime lead on Fears' touchdown. Waterfield kicked his oprnin field goal wlfen the Rams' second 1 1 Eecause the 49ers couldn't identify Captain Elbie Nickel of the Steelers when he ran past them to catch long lofts, they left the field at the half trailing, 10-7. Buck Shaw, gave his men some instruction. Frankie Albert began passing as he never had passed before, Joe Perry started hauling them down in fashion to amaze his admirers and the Rose Bowl halfbacks, Pete Schabarum and Jim Monachino, began laying down their feet and laying on blocks after the rest. So the 49ers tallied 21 points to 14 to emerge victorious, 28-24, in a contest that left 27,307 customers gasping.

BACK IN RACE. The victory put the 49ers into a tie with Detroit, Los Angeles, the Chicago Bears and Green Bay for first place in their division and returned them to the enviable position of contenders for the NFL championship. Tomorrow the 49ers move on to Chicago to face the burly Bears, their road trip one half successful and their sights set on the Los Angeles Rams when they return to Kezar two weeks hence. Meanwhile they're beginning to wonder if there is not some mystic quality in the once shunned single wingback formation. A week ago they lost to the surprising Philadelphia Eagles because they couldn't fathom the pitching from the single flipper formation.

Today they looked at the same single wing, plus double and triple wing. The 49ers' Jimmy Cason picked off a pass thrown by Chuck Ort-mann and romped right through the Steelers for 64 yards and the first touchdown. The Steelers, unembarrassed by their mis fortune, started putting Nickel in the slot then. Elbie the Jitney, starting from right end, raced straight down field, stopped behind Cason, took a 32 yard throw from Joe Geri and romped 45 yards more fora 77 yard touchdown early in the second period. 49EKS EAT DIRT.

Twice more the Steeler left end got behind Cason for long gainer passes. And twice more the 49ers had their backs against the goal posts in the quarter. Finally they surrendered a 16 yard field goal by Joe Geri. Albert had to call upon all of his resources, including Schabar um and Monachino, to get the 19ers straightened around toward the Steelers' goal in the third Deriod. This the old Stanford Red did with his customary nonchal ance and cunning, putting his team on top, 28-10, before the Steelers bounced back in the fourth quarter to score two touch downs.

Then Pittsburgh ran out of time and the 49ers ran out a minute and thirty-two seconds by holding the ball to save a doughty win. The battle was costly to both sides. Pete Wismann, right linebacker of the 49ers, had to be helped from the arena in the third quarter. He was taken to Presby terian Hospital for X-ray pictures. It was determined he has no fractures, only a bad sprain.

Ortmann, playing defense in the fourth period while the 49ers still were prowling, was kicked in the head after he snaffled an Albert pass and was tackled by Schabarum. The former Michigan ace, still hadn't regained his wits when he was carted off to the same hospital, suffering from concussion. The 49ers missed Wismann's outside linebacking during the last big foray by the resurgent Steelers. They'll be greatly handicapped if he can't play against the Chicago Eears.

Hayward KEZAR STADIUM, Oct. 14 Unaccustomed as they are to winning and acting accordingly, Santa Clara's Broncos noverthe less managed to hang on.

for their first victory of the season today, a 20-16 squeeze over the Loyola Lions. It shouldn't have been that close because the thrice beaten Broncs seemingly had the game safely stowed away at 20-7 entering the final quarter. But they tried to give it away and came darn near succeeding as they presented the visiting Lions a touchdown and a safety in the last period. There wasn't a Santa Clara adherent in the stands who wasn't glad that the clock finally ran out. The Broncos perpetrated the wildest, weirdest bunch of foot ball boners we have seen on anyH gridiron in their unwitting efforts to keep the Lions from losing their fourth straight.

Maybe it was just because they were excited about being in front that they forgot caution and ball control were of paramount importance in that wild fourth quarter. SAVING RECOVERY. Fact is, if the game Captain John Bordenave hadn't recovered a Lion fumble in the final thirty seconds, the Lions might have won. The first four touchdowns of the game were thrillers. The Broncs registered on an 80 yard pass play, a 91 yard pass play, and the recovery of a Loyola fumble in the end zone by Tackle Jim Cozad; the Lions tallied on a 27 yard Don Klosterman to Dan Seivcrt pass.

The fans had expected to sec Don Klosterman throw the Broncos dizzy. Instead they saw Santa Clara Quarterback Johnny Pasco take the play away from him. Pasco delivered ten passes, completed four for, two touch downs and 180 yards. Klosterman, hitherto the passing king, tossed thirty times, completed twelve but gained only 119 yards. CHARGING LINEMEN.

The reasons for the Klosterman failure were twofold charging by Ends Marv Gregory and Gene Lynch and Tackle Bill Payne, and the coverage of receivers by th Bronco backs. Klosterman, forced to throw hurriedly, often threw wild. The events of the final quarter should be reported first. The Lions had traveled 30 yards in four plays to the 50 yard line at the end of the third quarter. Then three plays gained five yards and they faced fourth down, five to go and the necessity to kick.

They did kick but some over-anxious Bronc committed boner No. 1 in the series. He was offside and gave Loyola an unearned first down to keep drive alive. Shortly thereafter Klosterman rricd a third down pass. It went incomplete but Bronc guard Pat Malley contributed boner No.

2. He interfered with the intended receiver and the pass was ruled complete. Shortly thereafter Malley in tercepted a Klosterman pass on the Brone 20 and ran it back to the 31 where he endeavored to shovel the ball behind his back to a teammate. It fell to the ground and Loyola's Bill Mc-Kernan pounced on it for first down on the Bronc 36. Fourth down found the Lions back three yards on the Bronc 39.

But Klosterman got off a quickie over the middle to End Fred Snyder, who caught for first down on the 21. It was time for boner No. 4. (Continued on Page 37, Col. 3) KEZAR STADIUM, Oct.

14. Santa Clara's Broncos went de lirious after nudging Loyola, 20-16, today to register their tirst victory after three defeats. "Upset of the year next Saturday!" yelled one in the dressing room. The Broncs face Stanford's unbeaten Indians then. "Upset of the and "upset of the century.

howled otn- ers in a rising chorus. The Broncos were gleeful and relaxed, but not so their coach, Dick Gallagher. He looked as if he had gone through a wringer and "What a wringer!" was the way he described the fourth quarter when Loyola came close to victory. Gallagher was highly praised for the pass defense that gave the fearsome Lion tosser, Don Klosterman, his most troublesome time of season. The Bronc mentor explained the strategy: "We assigned three barks to Cleveland Runs Wild CLEVELAND, Oct.

14 (AP) The Cleveland Browns used a new script today as they stayed on the ground for five of their six touchdowns in handing the Washington Redskins their third straight defeat, 45-0, in a Na tional League football game. The only aerial touchdown the Browns' usual scoring meth od came in the closing minutes on a twenty-yard toss from Cliff Iewis to Bob Oristaglio after the Browns "had the victory safely tucked away. The defending champions, with a crowd of 33.968 locking on, picked up four Redskin fumbles and converted them into three touchdowns and a field goal in the onesided fray. The game really ended in the first two minutes, when riev land's huge end, Len Ford, hit Redskin Quarterback Harry Gilmer as he attempted to pass and End George Young of the Browns pluckad Gilmer's fumble out of the air and raced sixty yards for the opening touchdown The score came with one minute and fifty-four seconds having elapsed. Although the Browns outgained the Redskins only ninety-nine yards in the combined passing and rushing department, the visitors w'ere never in the game, as the Browns scored in every period and won going away.
