Los Angeles Rams Capture Pro Grid Title Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 24— I (UP) —Larry Brink,. Andy Robus- ! telli and tbeir unsung defensive teammates were twice blessed tp- , " day by Los Angeles Ram coach Joe Stydahar as “the men who wrotp history” in scoring a 24 to 17 National Football League championship victory over the Cleveland Browns. It was the Ram’s first win Over ■Cleveland in four tries. Until yesterday’s upset record crowd of 59.475 fans, the Browns had wop; a] phenomenal list of titles—four in the now-defunct; AU America conference and one in *• the NFL. The latter was at the expense of the Rams, a thrilling J?t» to 38 last-minute win in .Cleveland ■ last year. ' < / ' 'Stydahar observed that, whilf-. that stunning ftriirtMiuarter 73yard touchdown pass play frorn '"Norm Van Brocklin to end Tom Fears provided the game winning points, “it was the work of the defense that kept us in the game.’? “Wasn’t that something the way Brink rocked Otto Graham?” dahar queried of everybody in ttie dressing room, .following the garni. you see the way that Robustelli ran —just, like a pony ■back.” ip; Stydahar was referring to the* play he described “as the turningpoint” of the game. It in'the v . third period and put the Rams iri the ball game for keeps. \ j . Graham, whom the ruthless Ram* defenders badgered continually in the final two periods, took the ball on the Brown 41'and immediately/ was tackled viciously by Brink and, fumbled the ball. Robustelli picked up the loose ball on the 25 and scampered to the two. Deacon Dari Towler punched the renter of the Brown line three times to score. < After trailing, the Browns 10 to 7'at the intermission. Stydahar \ plucked his bag of surprises and ; used a seven-to-nine man Tine on defense—pulling the.tinebackers into forward wall. And the maneuver worked. Graham. who completed 11 of 19 passes in the first quarter, was smothered INSURANCE Leo “Dutch” Ehinger •HRE . WIND AUTO 780 No. 3rd St. . Phone 3-2004

Calif., Dec. 24—(UP) — The Illinios football squad, having picked up a few grid pointers from- the Ix>s Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns, inaugurated the final week of drills today in preparation for their Rose Bowl date with Stanford Jan._l.

They intercepted three passes and batted dow n a half dozen RioreT* After a scoreless first period, the Rams took a short-lived lead when fullback Dick punched out a touchdown from one yard out in capping a 55-yard drive. But the Ranis, who played sporadically the first half, relaxed and ■before they could “enjoy themselves” the Browns had taken comGroza booted a 52-yard Afield goal, mand with 10 quick poi Ats. Lou which, tied the Memorial Coliseum record held by Ben Agajanian. and ■ Graham flipped a 17-yard' teedee pass to Dub Jones in the end zone. The Rams were a different ball club from the outset in ‘the second half. As Stydahar described the change, “it was a do-ondie effort, ’ and it paid off.” -First the inspired defenders Smeared Graham to set up Towler's score. Then halfback Marvin John- ■ son plucked one of Otto’s passes out of Ken Carpenter’s hands, racing to the one yard line to key It 17-yard Bob Waterfield field goal.

Dec. 24.—(UP)—As sure as the Yankees and Citation, the elderly gent in the cerise tunic .pops around tonight and now is the time to call his attention to the fact that there are a nutpber of fellows ip sports who need special attention. \ - Regardless of the press agents, there are quite a few guys in This business who don't have everything.

(He has blown it so many 1 times that, “big windy” has reI placed “old smokey?’h ; The Brooklyn Dodgers: A Rex Barney with control.

Sports in general: A little less tar and feathers and sharpshooting find a little more belief that most kids playing the game are doing it honestly and with shinning purpose.
