Rams Beat Packers, Clinch Title; Detroit Upset By San Francisco Blue Plays Elmhurst In Little Nine Opener Here Cards Upset Bears, 24-14; Trippi Stars Chicago, Dec. 16 (AP) FISHING QUEEN High School Basketball Standings 49ers Rally, Smash Lions' Hopes, 21-17 San Francisco, Dec. 16 (AP) San Francisco's 49ers, scoring a touchdown after a sensational 51-yard punt return by rookie halfback Joe Arenas, defeated the Detroit 2 1-1 7, today and knocked the Lions out of the division championship of the National Football league. Arenas set the stage for the 49ers' upset victory.

He dodged and weaved downfield to the 'Detroit 18. Five plays later quarterback Y. A. Tittle outmaneuvered the bulky Lions by skirting their left end for one yard on a bootleg touchdown run. The winning score was put over three minutes before the bruising contest ended.

The lead see-sawed throughout the game. Detroit jumped into an Outsiders Are Hurting Football, Kazmaier Says Columbus, Ohio, Dec 16 (AP) Dick Kazmaier, Princeton'f all-America halfback, said today "people outside the game" are Tiurting college football. "Football as played by college players is worthwhile," said the Maumce, Ohio, star. "Let's not de-emphasize the meaning of victory among the players and coaches. What would our country be, without such a spirit?" Kazmaier won the 1951 Heisman trophy as the outstanding college football player-of the country.

Kazmaier, Big 10 Commissioner Kenneth (Tug) Wilson and Dr. Delbert Oberteuffer, chairman of Ohio State's men's physical education department, took part in a panel discussion on the Columbus Town Meeting, a radio-television program. "College football is going through trying times at present," Kazmaier said. "But it will solve its problems during the next two or three years and go on to a glorious future." Wilson said, "I think we can de-emphasize the things that are bad, and emphasize all those that are good. Recruiting and subsidizing are at the bottom of all football evils." He said the Western conference (Big 10) is studying the pressures on college football and that he hoped the study would "bring out the good in the game and its importance in America's way of life.

Ram Coach Joe Stydahar clasped his hands, almost in prayer, and the immediate issue with the Packers was pushed far into the background. The biggest roar came when the hnal score rrom up north was shout ed over the loudspeakers.

All this far overshadowed the fact that Capt. Bob Waterfield pitched five touchdown passes, three to his star right end, Elroy Hirsch, the longest for 73 yards. 1 he other Ram score came on a brilliant run by safety man Jerry Williams 95 yard after taking a field goal try by the Packers rrcd L-one.
