Kast or West erjo. which team goes Into the championship pro playoff in late December the favorite? With Balitmore enthroned In the west and the Cleveland Brvwns still holding off the New York Giants in the east, it's time to consider the debate of lerritor ial strength. Looking back eight years to the of the All-America Conference into the National Football League, you get a divided picture four eastern champrons crowned and four from the west. More recently, the New York Giants really tore the top off the Chicago Bears in the 1956 playoff.

47-7. but last year the Detroit Lions unloaded against the Cleveland Browns. 59-14. Out of course, its no ar- pumcnt. They scorn what they consider the stodgy type of football played in the sedate eastern helt.

The wild and woolly boys have for years exhibited a wide open game with lots of throwing introduced. The Balitmore Colts (this is west?) carry tin the tradition exceedingly well. Paul Brown in Cleveland likes to think his emphasis on defense pays off. and he has the record to back him up. For a studied statement on the debate wt went to Norm Van Brocklin.

the slick thrower of the Philadelphia Eaglet who has spent most of his adult lite in the other half of the league and this year has had a chance to know the eastern seaboard. "All I've seen from the other division." said the ex-Ram quarterback, "are the Forty Mnerj and Packers this year, and they didn't look any different from wlial we've Rot. "I do think the past five years the strength in the NFL lias been in the west. After all, we cad the better quarterbacks. All with a straight face, because V.in Brocklin earnestly believes that the shipment of throwers like himself and Bobby Layne to Philadelphia and Pitts-(the division title and hover over burgh, respectively, has balanced circuit.

Matter of fact the (wo aging Dippers are likely to be the eastern representatives at quarterback in the Jan. 11 Pro Bowl game in Los Angeles. If Layne had arrived in Pittsburgh a couple of weeks earlier, you might have a different picture in the eastern chase, because the Steelers are the hottest team in pro ball with a string of five straight victories. They retain a mathematical chance of a tic for the Giants second place. Bobby another ex-western cohort, Tom.Tracy, carrying mall to supplement his pitching, and that combo figures to extend the Steeler string to six against a Washington team that has lost three tough games in a row to the leading Browns and Giants.

The prospective score: Steelert 24, RedtUm 13. The Giants, to stay alive, cross the division border into Detroit territory, and with misgivings. But all their cripples are getting back into action, and the extra incentive should help them against the stumbling ex-champions. New York Detroit The Cleveland ground game has bogged down progesslvely each week, and the Philadelphia forward wall is tough. But Brown still has the horses, and the Eagles lack the deep receivers for Van Brocklin's throws.

Vawkcy. who has poured many of his millions into the Boston Red Sox. was only one of numerous major and minor league offi cials to express shocked indignation over the increasing nunv her of requests for more money by players of every stripe. "There are three courses open to me." said Yawkey. after major league players asked for a revolutionary profit sharing plan that would give them 20 per cent of a club's gross income from all sources.

"I can sit down and do nothing. I can fight back. Or, I can withdraw from baseball. What course I am going to take I don't know. No one is going to force me to do anything.

How can they possibly fay we're paying them less now than we were 10 years ago." George Weiss, the major domo of the wealthy York Yank ees. wasn't particularly happ either although he said his club would wait until the next American League meeting Thursday to answer the players. Angriest of all, perhaps, was International League President Frank J. Shaughnessy, whose players bluntly told him they will not play next year unless the lea gue puts up $257.000 for the establishment of a pension fund. They Know Consequences "If the players decide not to play, they know the consequences under baseball rules." Shaughnessy said, implying that the play ers would be ruled ineligible to play in any other professional cir cuit.
