Cards Wallop Bears, Rams Go Info Lead NEW YORK (INS) — Unless Cleveland and Los Angeles put on some steam in the next couple of weeks, the second double playoff in National Football League history may have to decide the Eastern and Western Conference champions. Both teams claim first place in their respective divisions by the slimmest of margins after another hectic Sunday in which the Chicago Bears took a surprising 53-to-14 beating from the Chicago Cardinals. The Rams took over first place with a 6-3-1 mark by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, 23 to 21, on a last-second field goal by Les Richter while the Bears fell back with a 6-4 season’s record. Cleveland was held to a 35-to-35 tie by the New York Giants but held on to the eastern lead with a 7-2-1 slate. Washington moved in dangerously close with a 7-3 mark by whipping Pittsburgh. 23 to 14. Baltimore defeated San Francisco, 26 to 14. in the only other game to reclaim third place in the west from Green Bay. a 24-to-10 victim of Detroit three days earlier. Oddly enough, the Rams had to defeat the Bears for the conference crown in the last double playoff five years ago. Cleveland had x to beat New York in the other half before triumphing over the Rams in the title game. The Cards victory came before 47.314 fans in a driving snowstorm at Comiskey Park. It was only the fourth win in ten games for the Cards and snapped a six-game winThe 53 points set a new high for ning streak for the Bears. the team against its arch-rival. The old 40-to-6 record was set 26 years ago. The Cards stunned the Bears with three touchdowns in the first period and two each in the last two periods. Ollie Matson scored two touchdowns, one on a 77-yard punt return. Don Stonesifer and Dave Mann also scored two apiece and ' Pat Summerall booted two field goals and five extra points. / The Eagles were leading the Rams? 21 to 20, with willy wngmilnute. 58 second remaining. But Norm Van Brockltn. whose firstperiod touchdown passes included a 72-yarder to Elroy Hirsch on the first play from scrimmage, brought the Rams back on five straight completed passes with Richter kicking the game-winning 26-yard field goal—his third three-pointer of the game—in the last seven seconds. Bert Rechichar's 52-yard field goal highlighted the Colts' victory over San Francisco. ißechiehar also kicked one 15 yards as the 49’ers slipped into the cellar with Detroit. A blocked kick cheated the Browns of a victory before 45,699 roaring Polo Grounders. Ray Krouse charged through to block Lou Groza’s attempted 21-yard field goal with 17 seconds left in the game. The Browns came from behind twice to tie the Giants, Otto Graham passing for 319 yards and three touchdowns. Graham also set up a fourth TD with a pass and started the last drive by dashing nearly 3fi yards through the surprised Giant defense. The tie gave the Giants a share of third place with the Cards. Washington tied a game record i set by the Bears six years ago when it failed to complete a single pass. Ralph Guglielmi failed two
