"We've had two excellent drafts and we're thoroughly satisfied with our progress." Indeed, Collier has had amazing results using either rookies or second year men as replacements for the injured and the retired. When Leroy Kelly got hurt in Cleveland's opening game, along came someone named in a visit to the Boston Patriots. It's one of three American Football League games, the others sending Kansas City to Denver and Buffalo to Houston. Kansas City has lost quarterback Len Dawson, possibly for the season, and Denver's Steve Tens! is hobbled by a bad leg. Baltimore will try to revive its title hopes against Atlanta, which has come on strong under Norm Van Brocklin.

The key game of the NFL day sends Minnesota against Green Bay in a showdown which could shape the Central Division race. well-balanced. Our defense was perfect. Only one other club (Minnesota over Baltimore) won by a bigger margin last week," said head coach Joe Schmidt. "We'll just have to do the same thing against Cleveland."

Prni Spwts WHtar CLEVELAND It may take a certain amount of adjustment, considering how long they've been associating with professional football's underprivileged masses, but the Detroit Lions finally move up in social class Sunday afternoon when they play the Cleveland Browns in massive Muncipal Stadium. For the first time since they met the Kansas City Chiefs In the opening exhibition match of the summer, they will be meeting a club that had a winning record last season. Kickoff Is 12:30 p.m. (Detroit time-Channel 2) and when the day Is over, the Llons's coaching staff probably can stop guessing about how much improvement has been made since 1968. The Browns were mini-champions a year ago, winning the Century Division and then zonking the suicide-prone Dallas for the Eastern Conference title.

They were shutout by Baltimore In the National League's final-final playoff and spared the embarrassment of meeting Joe Namath in the Super Bowl. "We like to think we're a draftsmen Reece Morrison, who is now the third best rusher in the NFL. Former Michigan fullback Ron Johnson took Ernie Green's place when the latter quit to become an assistant coach this year. The change didn't seem to perplex Johnson much. In the statistical columns, he's just ahead of Morrison after two games.

Cleveland figures to use two rookies, Walt Sumner and Fred Summers, in its de-ffensive backfield in place of the injured Ben Davis and Ernie Kellerman. The latter's broken thumb may have healed enough to permit him to be used some. Marvin Upshaw, in his second season, has replaced defensive tackle Jim Kanicki, who broke a leg this summer. It appears likely that Kelly, who has been out with a pulled thigh muscle, will play against the Lions. Detroit will have a new man in its starting lineup with Frank Gallagher of North Carolina replacing right guard Bob Kowalkowski, gone for the remainder of the schedule with a knee injury that required surgery.

So far the Browns are undefeated In two starts and the Lions defense, which has given up only 16 points so far, Is the best in the NFL statistically. Cleveland does represent more of a challenge than Detroit has seen in seven weeks. Counting their last five exhibitions and their first two league games, of which they have won six and lost one, the Lions have played Buffalo (1-12-1 in 1968), Boston (4-10), Washington (5-9), Philadelphia (2-12), New Orleans (4-9), Pittsburgh (2-11-1) and New York (7-7).
