Cards, Lions Still Unbeaten In Pro League By UNITED PRESS The Detroit Lions and Chicago Cardinals topped the National Football League’s division races today with 3-0 records while the champion Cleveland Browns languished in the worst scoring slump of their 11-year history. The Lions, the Western Division's only perfect record team, fought <>ff a Tlp-snortihg rally to edge the Los Angeles Rams Sunday. 24-21. The Cardinals, with Ollie Matson racing 105 yards with a kickoff, remained the Eastern race's only undefeated-untied club * by thumping the Washington Redskins, 31-3. , Washington was the only team without a victory at the one-quar-, ter mark in the campaign, but Coach Paul Brown’s defending league champions were in almost as much trouble. The Brownies suffered their second loss in three starts when they took a 21-9 whipIn 1954 Cleveland had a 1-2 record at the start and went on to ping from the New York Giants, sweep the- Eastern Division and league titles. But the Browns scored 68 points in their first three games that season, while this year they have made only 30, an all-time low for Brown’s fabulous club at this stage in a campaign. ' The Chicago Bears crushed the San Francisco Forty - Niners, 31-7 and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Baltimore Colts, 38-33; while the Philadelphia Eagles downed the Pittsburgh Steelers, 35 to 21, in Sunday’s other contests.

(UP) — John V Magnabosco, 49, former head football coach at Ball State Teachers College, died of a heart attack today as he walked across the college’s gymnasium floor.

Notre Dame To Play Both Os Leading Teams By UNITED PRESS Oklahoma or Michigan State? Which team do you think will wind up as college football s national champion this season? Well, don’t bet the rent money on either team until at least two more weeks, or until the results are in on their forthcoming games with Notre Dame. Once the kingpins of college football themselves, the Irish have gotten off to one of their worst seasons in many years and now face the nightmarish task of playing Michigan State and Oklahoma on successive Saturdays. Duffy Daugherty's speedy Spartans get first crack at Notre Dame next Saturday at South Bend, Ind., and then the Irish must entertain Bud Wilkinson’s “shut-out kids" from Oklahoma th,e following week end. Considering their recent form, the Irish won't stand a chance against either Michigan State or Oklahoma, but the results of these games should provide the experts with a yardstick for future reference. Oklahoma and Michigan State play only one other mutual opponent this Season — Kansas State. The Sooners roared to a 66-0 victory over K-State in their second game of the season, while the Spartans meet the Wildcats at East Lansing, Mich., Nov. 24. At this stage of the season, it is almost impossible to choose between Oklahoma and Michigan State, although the Sooners would appear to have a slight edge statistically speaking. Including last Saturday’s 45-0 rout of Texas, Oklahoma now has rolled up 147 points in posting three straight shutouts. Michigan State has scored 83 points and given up 13 in its first three games, including its most recent 53-6 romp over Indiana. However, one of these games was against Michigan, a team rated much stronger than any of Oklahoma's early-season opponents. In making Texas their 33rd con-

secutive victim, "the Sodners were led by Tommy McDonald and Clendon Thomas, who scored three touchdowns each. Michigan State uncovered a strong aerial game to match its vaunted running attack against Indiana, completing 10 of 12 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Michigan, meanwhile, bounced back from its loss to Michigan State by capitalizing on six Army fumbles to beat the Cadets, 48-14. It was the most points ever scored against an Earl Blaikcoached Army team. It was a "Black Saturday” also for such perennial powers as Navy. Notre Dame, West Virginia and Texas A & M. Quarterback Gene Newton's two touchdown passes helped Tulane upset Navy; 21-6; Purdue handed Notre Dame its second defeat in three games, 28-14; Jim Brown’s running once again carried Syracuse to a 27-20 triumph over West Virginia, and underdog Houston held Texas A & M to a 14-14 tie. Other topranked teams bowled over their opponents with sivage displays of power. Tennessee did not- even start tailback Johnny Majors in blasting Chattanooga. 42-20; Ohio State ripped Illinois. 26-6; halfback Ken tallied Cwice as Texas Christian I
