Chicago Bears Defeat Detroit Io Take Title I By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer The Chicago Bears, charged with “deliberate dirty football 1 ’ by „ Detroit Lions, and the New York , Giants, often called “too nice” ’ by their coach, will clash for the National League championship i Dec. 30 at Yankee Stadium. It’ll be the first time these old rivals have appeared in the championship game since 1946 when the Bears defeated the Giants, 24-14, at the Polo Grounds. In a meeting earlier this season, the Bears scored twice in the last seven (minutes at New York to salvage a 1747 tie. New York won the Eastern Division crown Saturday by defeat- , ing the Philadelphia Eagles, 21-7. The Bears captured Western honors Sunday by whipping Detroit. , 38-21, in a game marred by brawls ; after Bobby Layne of the losers was knocked cold by Ed Meadows in the second quarter. Charges “Dirty FoetbaU” “It was deliberate dirty football, Coach Buddy Parker of the Lions said. “He (Meadows) was. the hatchetman to do the job. He did it to Layne when he was with Pittsburgh last year and Meadows and Halas (Bear owner George Halas) play it that way.” Meadows and Gil .Mains of Detroit were thrown out of the game ’ for slugging and swarms of the 49,086 fans rushed on the field to join in the fighting during the final minutes. Layne, who led Detroit to two league and three Western Division titles in the last five years, did not return to the game. But it’s doubtful it any one mart could’ have stopped Rick Casares and the rest of the Bears Sunday in their Wrigley Field lair. Wins Rushing Crown . k , Casares gained 190 of Chicago's 307 rushing yards and his 68-yard scoring run in the second period put the Bears in front to stay. ’ Casares, who was limited to 12 yards by the Giants last montyi. ' Won the league rushing crown - with 1,126 yards—a season high ' surpassed in NFL history only by the 1,146 gained by Steve Van Buren of Philadelphia in 1949. A-.- ' In Sunday’s other games* Lahan scored twice to lead the Chicago Cardinals to a 21-* victory over the Cleveland Browns; Ted( Marchitgoda threw two touchdown ‘passes tfiTThe shut out the Washington Redskins, 23-0; Norm Van Brocklin threw two scoring passes to lead the Los ‘ Angeles Rams to a 49-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers and Y. A. Tittle scored twice to pace
