The Lions battered the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31 to 6, for their fifth victory of the National Football League season the New York Giants were handing the San Francisco 49ers their second defeat in a row, 23 to 14, in New York. The Lions and the 49ers are now tied for first place in the National Conference with identical 5-2 records. Detroit completely outclassed the Steelers as it played an unusual brand of for a Lion team, Detroit displayed pulverizing running attack led by Bob Hoernschemeyer. THE LIONS rolled up 321 yards rushing against the Steelers with Hunchy getting 107 of that on 20 rushes.

Field goal-Walker. Steelers scoring: Touchdow foggy, drizzly afternoon the Steelers' tough defense against aerials. He completed only four. But Layne managed to complete three of five in the second half, one for a brilliant 46-yard touchdown to Cloyce Box. The game was a greet triumph for the defensive platoon, too, Bob Smith, the veteran halfback, starring for that group.

Smith recovered a fumbled lateral that set the stage for Doak Walker's field goal in the first quarter and then raced 90 yards with an intercepted pass to set up a touchdown in the final minute of the game. THE DEFENSIVE line played another of its fine games. The Steelers were held to a minus three yards rushing. Jim Doran, Les Bingaman, Johnny Prehlik and Fum McGraw were the big guns in stopping any semblance of a running attack, Three of the four Detroit tallies: were scored off the running game with Byron Bailey getting one in addition to Girard's pair. The biggest surprise of the afternoon came when the Lions moved 95 yards to score without once resorting to the pass.

Layne called a good game, alternating Hunchy, Girard, Harder and himself to good advantage. Jim Finks, Steeler quarterback, had a good day passing completing 19 of 35 passes. But most of them were in the middle of the field, where they don't pay off, He had two intercepted. Biggest blow to the Steelers came in the second quarter when Ernie Stautner ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. Layne rammed running plays through the tackle spots consistently after the big Steeler tackle left the game.

It was a brutal game from start to finish. The burly lines played rugged football all afternoon before a crowd of 26,170. This was the fourth straight victory for Detroit in seven games. The Steelers now have a 2-5 mark. THE GREATER part of the first quarter was a punting duel between Bob Smith and Pat Brady until a fumbled lateral gave the Lions the break they needed to break scoring ice.

Smith recovered the muffed football that Finks tossed to mighty Modzewleski on the Steelers' 19. Three plays moved the ball to the seven. Then Walker came into the game for the first time in five weeks to kick a 16-yard field goal. That edge held until the midway mark of the second period. Then the Lions drove from the Steelers' 46 to the 24.

Stautner was ejected for his rough stuff and the Lions had the ball on the Steeler 12 on the penalty, half the distance to the goal line. Hunchy carried the ball on three straight plays and jammed to within. a foot of pay dirt. Girard dove over the middle for the first touchdown. Walker added the extra point, his first of three and the Lions led, 10 to 0.

Norbert's 26, St. Joseph's THEY'RE OUT TO CHANGE SCRIPT AT MSC Last 2 Years Vivid to Irish BY LYALL SMITH Free Press Sports Editor SOUTH BEND Storm signals should be flying at East Lansing. A "big blow" could be on the way. It is one which originated here last Saturday afternoon and whirled around with such intensity that it blew what was expected to be an Oklahoma hurricane right out of existence. Scout Earle Edwards of Michigan State's unbeaten Spartans has hurried home with his reports of the block-busting power of Notre Dame's assault on Oklahoma's speedy Sooners.

The Spartans have five days to ready for its arrival. It is possible that "Storm Irish" may have been only a one-day twister. But if the Spartans are they will batten all hatches to prepare for the hardest battle they have encountered in running up their 22- game victory streak. IN DEFEATING powerful Oklahoma, 27 to 21, Notre Dame once again arose from the class of a good football team to that of a great one. It was supposed to be overmatched with Coach Bud Wilkinson's Sooners just as it supposedly will' be overmatched against Coach Biggie Munn's Spartans.

But it utilized hard tackling, hard blocking and hard running to offset the blazing speed. of Halfback Billy Vessels, the magical ball handling of Eddie Crowder and the flashy assault of Wilkinson's famed split-T formation. It won by coming from behind three different times before finally going ahead and staying there. While the tumult of the unexpected triumph still is being heard here look-ahead Irish followers already are asking themselves if lightning can strike twice on successive Saturdays. "It would be an awful lot to expect our boys to play the The Detroit Free Press Monday, November 10, 1952 33 Free Press Photo by RAY GLONKA TUCKED SAFELY AWAY IN THE RANGER NET IS A PUCK (CIRCLE) OFF STICK OF JANKOWSKI AS GOALIE WORSLEY IS FLAT ON ICE CLICK FOR 3-1 VICTORY Wings Find Range Against Rangers BY MARSHALL DANN If beating a patched-up be called snapping out of a of the woods again, The Detroiters got the triumph over the New Yorkers by a 3-1 count Sunday night before 10,771 Olympia customers.

It was the first victory for the Wings in four starts fourth place second in the last eight games. Fifth-place Boston was the other victim. For healthy signs, possibly the 3-3 tie Saturday in Toronto was more significant. It took a thirdperiod rally to do that. THE WINGS were far from sharp against New York, which is operating without three of its best players.

One of those is Goalie Chuck Rayner. He made a return last week, but more rest was decided upon. Thus Rookie Lorne Worsley, the same youngster Detroit beat, 5 to 3, in the opener here, was in the nets Sunday. He was nicked at a goal-a-period pace by Rookie Lou Jankowski, Capt. Ted Lindsay and Sophomore Glen Skov.

The Rangers were able to match this output for one period only. Ed Kullman clicked in the first period to offset Jankowski's marker. Detroit was outshot, 12 to 10, in that stanza but skated all over the Rangers for a 25-11 shooting edge in the last 40 minutes. Still the Wings missed on many more good opportunities than they cashed in upon. And that's always the real sign of a slumping team.

JANKOWSKI'S GOAL was his first in the National League, coming five games after he was called from the minors. He connected on Lindsay's rebound off the goal pipe. Kullman knocked in a rebound in a goal scramble at the 15-minute mark, and the score stayed 1-1 for almost 20 minutes. It's just as well it didn't end that way, or both clubs would be yelling murder. The Rangers were thwarted on one drive by the balky automatic buzzer connected to the time clock.

And Detroit had a goal nullified. The clock was consistent in its inconsistency. It sounded buzzer at the wrong spot in the final minute of each period. The first time found the Rangers assaulting the Detroit net, and after the confusion was cleared up, the Rangers were cooled off.

"Naturally, I am hopeful they can do it.

But it hardly seems possible." More optimistic Irish backers were looking at the Michigan State battle in this style: "WE ARE UNDERDOGS against Oklahoma, just as we were against Texas and 'Purdue," they point out. "This was the first time we ever played Oklahoma. We had a lot of prestige at stake. We'll have even more at stake next Saturday. We're still remembering last year and the They said no more.

They didn't have to. The Spartans defeated them 36-33 two years ago and then handed Leahy his worst defeat of all times last season in a 35-0 runaway.
