Detroit lions Edge Rams To I Lead Division ]'■■ - New York, Dec. 10—(UP)—The stage was set today for a frantic finish in the national conference of the National Football. League as three teams scramble" fort the right to play the Cleveland Browns /or the league championship. |■ The mighty Browns, of courae, aren’t scrambling at all. The defending who hofre to gain their sixth straight .[pro crown, clinched the American conference title yesterday with a 28-0 win over Pittsburgh and can use next Sunday’s tilt against Philadelphia as a tune-up. 1 j • But next Sunday grim business is in store for the Detroit Lions, Tx>s Angeles Rams, and Chicago Bears —the three bitter rivals: for the national conference title._ ; | Right i now. by virtue of their spine-tingling 34-22 win over the < Rams yesterday, the Detroit Lions are oh top by a half-garde, blit the driver’s seat they’re perched ifabis mighty shaky, to say the least. — The Lions have one big advantage—they can clinch the title by a win over San Francisco in the wind-up. The Rams, who play Green Bay, > and the Bears, who meet the Chicago Cards, haven’t got a chance unless the Lions lose. But the hitch is that the Lions could very easily lose. They droprod a 20-10 decision to San Francisc oin theiir Dec. 2 meeting, and that game was played in Detroit whereas-next Sunday the battle will be in San Francisco. ‘jj * But off the strength and savvy they showed in their big win; yesterday, the Lions appeared ready to take c barge of Be race. ; / They were trailing by 22-17 late in the fourth quarter, put jn that bad spot chiefly by the Rams’ Bob Waterfield, who booted five field goals. 1 The Lions took a kickoff and marched to the Rams’ 22 in five plays. With juat about; two minutes to play, Bobby Layne* handed the ball off to Doak Walker, who unleashed a towering; pass to end Leon Hart. The former Notre Dame star outraced the safety man and snared the pass in the end sone. * ‘ • The Bears kept their title hopes. alive by whipping the New York Yanks, 4SJ-21. It was a remarkable comeback for the Bruins, who took two of ti|e worst beatings in their history in the last tw«o weeks from tae Browas and the Rams. Johnny Lujack scored three touch-, downs t for the Chicagoans as the Bears pounced on every Yank: mistake, and there were many, .to make them count. . ~ TheV Browns found themselves held scoreless for one period by an eight-man gteeter line/ But they scored three times in the second, on a 24-yard run by Ken Carpenter. a rush by Marion Motley, jOtto Graham’s 15th touchdown pass, of the season. ' The San Francisco forty-niners, trailing by 13-10, came roaring back in the'second half under the brilliant quarterbacking Frankie Albert to beat the Green Bay Packers, 31 to 19; the New York Giants wallopedT the Philadelphia Eagles, 23 to 7, as Eddie Price gained 171 yards rttihing, ; Including an 80-yard touchown Jaunt; and the Washington Redskins beat the Cardinals, 2v-17, on Bill Dudley’s 18-yard field goal with 15 seconds to play.

Parrish. Mrs. Shraluka was to be questioned after the noon recess today by prosecutor Severin Schutger, representing the state in the case. County clerk Ed Jaberg was first called to the stand today to verify that warrants for Roth, affidavits charging the offenses, had bedn tiled, and that bond was set for him, but had never been met. A The lean, angular Roth was also to go on trial—originally—today for the criminal charges placed against him and two others for burglarizing the Barger residence, in Kirkland township, last August. The future of that trial—whlch was also to be heard by a jury—awaits the disposition of the ppes- - ent. case.. ■ : - : ; SANTA PAYS — (Coati* neg From Pare Owe) doctors said? -- ’ • Across the nation at San Francisco.
