Northwestern and Eastern also had speedy back-field units. This is the 21st renewal of the interleague series. The public school league still leads in victories, 11-8.

There have been two ties. The last 10 games, howi. ever, have been split evenly, five for each league. This is Dave Middleton's week. There can be no doubt about it this is the week the good doctor catches the big pass for the Detroit Lions.

Bud Erickson, who assembles curious facts and figures about the local heroes, has found in his research that Middleton always is at his best against the Chicago Cardinals have been containing speedy offenses in their last three victories oyer Southwestern, Northwestern and Eastern. NORTH-WESTERN'S Troy Allen and Eastern's Bill Harper were among the city's accomplished roll-out quarterbacks.

If you have been listening, you know that the Bears will be here Sunday to play the Lions. "For some strange reason," says Erickson, "Middleton has damaged the Bears more than any other team." THE REASON" may not really.be so strange, but more of that Erickson produces these figures to show how Middle-ton has hurt the Bears in eight games since 1955: tersest Catches Gained Gain TDs 18 230 rr 1 154 12-21 48 17 1 0 115 20 1 15 144 42 1 Total 37 705 77 5 Middle ton's performance might have been even more impressive, Erickson notes, except for the fact that he was injured early in the first Lion-Bear game of 1958 and left the game without having caught a pass.

WHY SHOULD Middleton operate at peak efficiency against the Bears? Lion coach George Wilson has insisted for years that Middleton could have been one of the great pass receivers in NFL history. "If he had given himself half a chance," the coach says, "Doc would be among the all-time greats. As it is, he's plenty good." The name "Doc" is the thing that deprived Middle-ton of a higher standing in the game. For the last several years Middleton has missed virtually all the Lions' preseason work while attending medical school. The Lions never got him to keep until the season had begun.

INVARIABLY Middleton was slow to reach top con- Still a Winner Even in Defeat NEW YORK (UPD Delaware, toppled from the unbeaten ranks last Saturday, held its No. 1 rating Wednesday in the balloting for the Lambert Cup, emblematic of small-college football supremacy in the East. The Blue Hens, defeated by Bowling Green of Ohio, were the unanimous choice for first place. Lehigh was second and Buffalo third. If he throws the ball a few more times than usual in the next few weeks, Earl Morrall logically could become the passing champion of the National Football League.

This strange circumstance stems from the archaic method of determining the NFL passing leader. At the moment Frank Ryan, second-string quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams, is the league leader. He earns the rating on the basis of average gain per pass attempted 8.76 yards on 68 attempts. RALPH Guglielmi of Washington is second with 8:39 and Baltimore's Johnny Unitas third with 8:17. For some reason, the NFL required a quarterback to throw a minimum of 67 passes to figure in the standings for this week.

Morrall has thrown only 59. But four long strikes during the season 79 yards, 67,, 45 and 32 give him an average gain per pass of 9.76 yards, easily the best in the league. Los Angeles' Billy Wade Is the percentage leader, hitting 62.4 per cent, or 93 of 149 passes. Detroit's only ranking players in the figure sheets are Yale Lary, second in punting with a 46.2 average, and Gary Lowe, tied with six others in pass interceptions with five. Linebacker Wayne Walker, who has a sore shoulder, may miss his fourth straight game this week.

The Lions have been lucky here because old-man Jim Martin, filling in for Walker, has responded with his best play in several years. PUSCAS Moss Deserts College Football To Coach Pros TALLAHASSEE, Fla. fUPI) Football coach Perry Moss quit Florida State Wednesday to return to professional ball as head coach and general manager of the Montreal Alou-ettes in the Canadian Big Four. Moss, a former pro player with Green Bay, said he would report to Montreal as soon as Florida State hires another coach. State immediately hired former Alabama great Vaughan a assistant football coach at Columbia University, to take on Moss's job as athletic director.

But officials said it will be two weeks or more before a coach is hired. Ik "The bag is what you carry, Newman just the bag!" Johnson Outpointed By Folley But Zora Is jo Hero in TV Bout PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) Heavyweight contender Zora Folley, lacking any tiger instinct, utilized his experience to score a 10-round unanimous decision over Alonzo Johnson Wednesday night in a televised bout. Folley, second ranked con tender from Chandler. weighed 197 and Johnson, of Braddock, 189 Folley, who has vet to show great strength in the three televised bouts in which he has appeared, had trouble with the swarming, holding youngster.

JOHNSON WAS down twice in the fight. But both times referee Max Baer, who often was the busiest man in the ring breaking many clinches, ruled no knockdown. Johnson slipped to the canvas in the fifth round, and in the sixth Folley fired a right cross that appeared to have dropped Johnson, with the mandatory eight count being tolled. But Baer explained after the round It was not a knockdown and that he was confused by the timekeeper. Baer voted 99-66 for Folley.

Judze Joe Bozdick scored it 99-93 and Judge Jacob Alpertj 98-94. The bout was staged before a tuxedo and evening-gowned crowd around ring side that paid $25 per person to benefit cystic fibrosis and another 250 in sports shirts who paid $5.50 in bleacher seats. Often through the bout the crowd yelled for more action." It was the 49th win against three losses and two draws for the 29-year-old Folley and the fourth loss in 21 bouts for John son, who is 24. Dave Sliddleton dition and to perfect his timing. By the time the season reached the halfway mark, he was ready and dangerous again.

It figures that he should damage the Bears rather than, say, the Baltimore Colts. The Detroit schedule always lists Baltimore at the start of the season, and the luckless Bears at the end. Middleton is now a full-fledged doctor of medicine. This winter he will begin practice at University Hospital in Ann Arbor. There is a question whether the Alabaman will be back with the Lions next season.

He says he will quit if he becomes convinced that the game has passed him by. ONLY A few weeks ago that seemed to be the case. Middleton's great speed (he was a :09.7 sprinter at Auburn) was missing, the catches the Lions expected from him at his flanker post were not coming. Then, in one burst last Sunday, the doctor showed his flashing heels again 'and the thought occurred that the season is past the halfway mark and maybe the doctor has not lost it all. Wilson and the Lions hope so.

They will know more about it this week because here come the Bears again and Bear week is always Middleton's week. 03U EE) rL. rjty' ui srff Winter fast Courteous Servict by ALL 3 SERVICES BRAKES inspect lining adjust brakes add fluid if needed test brakes ALIGNMENT correct toe-in and camber correct caster and toe-out inspect steering INSTALLED (5 yttiaia 93SW BY HAL SCHRAM If the weatherman is serious about that warming trend, an all-time record gross gate for a City championship Goodfellow football game may be in the offing. "We're over the $50,000 mark," Police Lt. Charles Schwartz said Wednesday.

"Everyone wants seats on the 50-yard line and that's a good, sign." Good seats are still avail able. Unfortunately there is no talk of a sellout for Fri- day's Cooley St. Ambrose showdown at Briggs Stadium, THE BEST gross gate, according to Lt. Schwartz's rec- ords, was $79,989 in 1953 i when Pershing High defeated Lourdes, 21-7. All remaining seats, scaled a $4, S3, $2 and $1, went on sale Wednesday at Briggs Stadium.

As usual, the major proceeds of this annual char- ity classic will go to the Old Newsboys. Like Pershing in 1953, Cooley will be bidding for both city and state honors when the Cardinals take the field against St. Ambrose, the Catholic League king. If Cooley wins, it will earn the handsome Free Press State championship trophy. Except along Detroit's lower East Side, where St.

Ambrose rules supreme, Cooley remains the favorite. IT IS the consensus in most precincts that the Cardinals have too much over-all power for the East Siders. Certainly coach Roger Parmentier and his team shouldn't be caught with their defenses down. St. Ambrose will win or lose with its dive plays, quick openers and fine back-field speed.

The Cavaliers won't overwhelm anyone with sheer power and they do not have a great aerial threat. St. Ambrose, however, is explosive. Unless their speed is contained, the Cavaliers will win. But this type of an attack Is old stuff to Cooley.

The OSU Expels Star Guard COLUMBUS Ernie Wright, starting right guard of Ohio State University's football team for the last two years, has been "separated from Ohio State University for discliplin-ary reasons," it was announced Wednesday. Wright, 6-foot-3, 242-pound junior from Toledo, will be replaced in Saturday's game with Michigan at Ann Arbor by Gabe Hartman, 209-pound junior from Troy. tit i rouiner aaie xor closed window Driving?

(UPI) Hitting an all-time club field goal high of 58 baskets, including 19 in the first quarter, the Syracuse Nationals won their fifth straight NBA game Wednesday night' by routing the first-place Boston Celtics, 138-103.

By the time the first quarter ended, the Nats had a 42-20 lead, sinking all four of their free throws during the quarter. Dolph Schayes led the opening surge, netting seven of his first 10 tries. He was individual high scorer with 32 points. BOSTON MANAGED tr, close the margin to 11 points at 61-50 the second quarter, but after seven minutes of the third period the Celtics were hopelessly behind again at 89-61. Syracuse made good 58 baskets in 110 attemrits for a.

.527 percentage, which also equaled its previous high. Larry Costello, sitting out the final period, had 14 assists to tie another Syracuse home court record. Boston, suffering its second defeat in 13 starts, was without the services of Jim Loscutoff and Frank Ramsey.

For the faltering Lakers it wan the 10th loss in 14 games. Two drive-in baskets by the Lakers Ed Fleming in the last 15 seconds accounted' for the closeness of the final score. Kenny Sears and Mike Farmer teamed up to hold the Lakers' great Elgin Baylor to 20 points, eight below his average.
