Northwestern In Three-Way Tie For Lead CHICAGO (UPD—Northwestern, beginning to look like the rags-to-riches Rose Bowl outfit of 1948, dashes with lowa Saturday in what may prove to be the Big Ten's key game of the campaign. Both are undefeated this season with 2-0 records in the conference, a distinction they share with Ohio State in a three-way tie for the lead. To take over the lead the Wildcats need a victory over the Hawkeyes in their game at lowa City and a helping hand from Wisconsin which meets Ohio State on the Buckeye field.

Browns, Coifs Stay Unbeaten in Pro League By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts may gallop to the National Football League’s division titles because they are shattering jinxes the way skeet shooters bust clay pigeons. Cleveland took a two-game lead in the Eastern race Sunday and boosted its record to 4-0 by whipping the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-10. The Browns took a 59-14 walloping from the Detroit Lions in the 1957 championship game. Since 1953, all the title game losers have bowed by huge margins and folded completely the following season. But the Browns, rolling behind Milt Plum’s passing plus Jim Brown’s running, act as though they really won that last title game and figure to shatter a jinx that has haunted championship game victims in recent years. Baltimore clobbered the Lions, defending league and Western division titleholders, 40-14. The victory enabled the Colts to retain their one-game Western Division lead and gave them a vital mental boost. It was the first victory the Colts ever scored at Detroit and marked the first time they have swept their first four games during a season. Cards Upset Giants While Detroit (0-3-1) lost virtually all hope of retaining its titles, the Chicago Cardinals gave the Browns a big assist by upseting the New York Giants, 23-6. The Giants, who started the day a game behind Cleveland, now are tied for second at 2-2 with the Cardinals and Washington Redskins, who defeated the Green Bay Packers, 37-21. The Chicago Bears remained close behind Baltimore and took undisputed second place in the Western race by defeating the visiting Los Angeles Rams, 31-10. Los Angeles entered the game tied with the Bears and slipped to a third-place deadlock with the San Francisco Forty-Niners at 2-2. The Bears have a 3-1 record. San Francisco, with John Brodie throwing scoring passes to Hugh McElhenny and Clyde Conner, stopped a last-minute Philadelphia Eagle rally for a 30-24 victory in the other game. The six contests drew 279,390 fans with the top crowd of 66,852 registered rft Cleveland. Brown Runs Wild The Steelers shocked this big crowd by takjng a first-period lead on Tom Tracy’s 64-yard touchdown pass to Ray Mathews but the Cleveland defense throttled them the rest of the way. Plum threw touchdown passes to Brown, Ray Renfro and Bobby Mitchell. Brown, who may prove to be the most versatile fullback in NFL history, also ran 48 yards for a touchdown and gained 153

Brown is more than halfway to Steve Van Buren’s one-season record of 1,146 yards. The Lions started their title drive last year when they scored twice in the final seconds in their fourth game for a 31-27 triumph over the Colts at Detroit. The Lions and 55,190 rooters had visions of a similar finish Sunday when Yale Lary raced 71 yards with a fourth quarter punt to cut Baltimore’s margin to 20-14. But the “new” Colts reacted by scoring three more touchdowns. Lenny Moore ran 11 for one, John Unites passed 37 to 'Jim Mutscheller for another and Leonard Lyles ran 27 to score on the game’s final play. Billy Wade of the Rams comnleted his second pass to Del Shofner for 92 yards and a touchdown, the longest scoring pass of the NFL season, but the Bears and penalties shackled Los, Angeles after that outburst. Willie Galimore scored twice for the Bears and now has seven 1958 touchdowns. McHan Leads Cardinals Lamar McHan came off the bench in the second quarter and sparked the Cardinals to an upset triumph over the Giants before 52.684 — largest crowd ever to attend a New York home opener. McHan threw two touchdown passes to Gem Nagler and set up Ollie Matson’s three-yard scoring plunge. Johnny Olszewski ran 45 yards for a touchdown and gained a total of 165 to help Eddie Lebaron keep the Redskins in charge all the way against the visiting Packers. Lebaron threw touchdown passes to Joe Walton and Bill Anderson. Babe Parilli of the Packers threw scoring passes to Max McGee and Jim Taylor. The Eagles had a first down on the Forty-Niner eight in the final minutes at Philadelphia but couldn’t score. On the key play in the series, the officials ruled Bob Walston was out-of-bounds at the limit of the end zope when he caught what would have been a touchdown pass from Norm Van Brocklin.
