The defending Eastern Conference champions are sentimental favorites, by a mere three points, over the host Steelers but Walt Klesling, new coach of the Steel City eleven, has the ingredients that can push the Browns further out of contention. v His red-hot backfield combo of Jim Finks, Johnny Lattner and Paul Cameron have knocked off Green Bay and Washington and last week fell three points shy of toppling undefeated conference leader, Philadelphia. In four years, Pittsburgh lost all eight games to the Browns. But in the last tour meetings, the losing margins were four points in two games and one point twice more. Jim Trimble's pass-happy squad, unbeaten in three tries, was tied ,and beaten last year by the 'skins loss to Washington that cost thein a tie with Cleveland for the Eastern Cd'rifference title. The w-eekend opens with the defending world champion Detroit Lions playing host to Baltimore tonight. The Lions are tied with San Francisco for first place with two wins apiece.

Philadelphia Seeks To Keep A's Franchise PHILADELPHIA HNS) — The chances of the Athletkts remaining tn Philadelphia loomed brighter than ever today in the wake of a meeting of businessmen who apparently pledged to back Roy Mack to the hilt. Seven of the group of 20 prominent citizens who. m ft with Mack reportedly were ready to pick up the tab for buying control of the American League club and providing the financial shot in the arm necessary for reorganizing the team. Deposits totaling more than $3,000,000 were reported to have been made in a Philadelphia bank, which would enable Roy Mlack, executive vice president of the A’s, to turn down an offer from Arnold Johnson, Chicago realtor who bid $3,375.000 to move the club to Kansas

City. Mack, spearheading the fight to keep the American League franchise iu the Quaker City, apparently has the means to make the first hurdle, which is to buy the stock owned by his father, Connie, and his brother, Earle. who has long been at odds with Roy over the club’s affairs, and the venerable Connie reportedly have leaned toward Johnson's offer. And the Johnsoq proposal was sanctioned by American League club owners at their meeting in Chicago last Tuesday. However, indications were strong today that Earle and Connie would be williug to go along with with Roy If he could iron the few wrinkles out of the pending transaction with the Philadelphia businessmen. - Earle said: “Both Dad and I feel the same way. We have always wanted the Athletics to stay in Philadelphia, and if matters develop as we now expect, nothing can force them to leave. I told Arnold Johnson from the beginning of our negotiations that I would sell my stock to him only if I could not dispose of it iu Philadelphia. I am free to sell to the Philadelphia group, and I will go down the line with them to keep the A'b here.” Meanwhile, Roy had made no colnment on an offer by Johnson to join the Athletics' organization in Kansas City. Johnson offered Roy* a five-year contract with an optioh to buy stock In the new organization and promised a job to Roy's son, Connie 111. The big event in Roy’s life today Is the marriage of his daughter, Kathleen, to Army Lt. Clifford Brian Kelly. Consequently, he is not expected to be available for taking part In any negotiations. ,The league’s deadline for a decision on the future of the Athletics Is Monday morning at 11 a.m. Students Escape Hurricane Hazel "ord was received last night (by Glen Custard, principal of the Pleasant Mills school, that the seniors, now on their senior trip to Washington, D.
