Browns Battle Eagles, Giants To Play Lions By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts will warm up Saturday in sunny California for the National Football League title game while the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants resume the strugge for the other championship berth Sunday on enemy fields In the East and Midwest. Baltimore with the Western Dii vision crown clinched, will keep in trim by playing the Rams at Los Angeles. The game, which will be televised (CBS) nationally at 4:30 p.m., e.s.t., figures to draw about 85,000 fans to the Coliseum although therßams are out of contention. Baltimore is favored by 2*4 . points. The forecast calls for fair weather. Each NFL club has two more games but the Colts can coast now. The Browns, leading the Giants by a game in the Eastern race, visit Philadelphia Sunday to tackle the revenge-bent Eagles. The Giants have an equally tough job, invading Detroit to meet the Lions. Cleveland is a seven-point choice for a game which will I start at 1 p.m., e.s.t. The Giants, I favored by 2%, will start play 30 I minutes later and will know how I the Borwns have fared before I they finish their game with the I Lions. Cleveland has an 8-2 recI ord and New York has a, 7-3 I mark. The P ittsburgh Steelers (64) I trail Cleveland by two games and I still have a mathematical chance I to tie for the Eastern crown. I They are 2*4 point favorites to I defeat the Redskins at WashingI ton. This game will begin at 2 I p.m., e.5.t.,, and the Steelers will I know whether they still are in the I race or not before they finish beI cause the Browns will begin play I an hour earlier;-*, I In Sunday’s other games! l the I Bears are 7*4 point favorites for I their annual clash with the CarI dinals at Chicago while the FortyI Niners are favored by 10*4 to deI feat the Green Bay Packers at I San Francisco. Baltimore would like to beat the Rams because it has won only one of six previous starts in I the Coliseum. If John Unitas of I the Colts throws a touchdown I pass against the Rams, he'll break an NFL record set by Cecil Isbell of the Packers in 1941-42. Isbell threw touchdown passes in 23 straight games. Unitas tied that mark last Sunday. The Browns defeated the Eagles two weeks ago at Cleveland. 28-14, but have dropped five of their last six games at Philadelphia although they are one of the league's top road clubs.

Jordan Takes Weller Title From Akins LOS ANGELES (UPD—Lanky Don Jordan, whose hammering left fist won the world welterweight crown Friday night from Virgil Akins, smilingly agreed today to give the badly-bruised ex-| champ a return shot at the title in mid-February at St. Louis. | “And I’ll beat him worse next! time because I'll weigh lighter,” said the Negro-Indian ex-produce, worker who by a unanimous upset 15-round decision, became the first Los Angeles born welterweight ruler. Twenty-four-year-old DqO- who is known as the “Geronimo Kid” and who is an expert with the bow and arrow, kept lancing with left jabs and jarrying left hooks in! nearly every round Friday night at the Olympic Auditorium while 7,344 fans cheered the 3-1 underdog lustily and booed Akins to the girders. Had It Sewed Up It was Don's ninth straight victory and the greatest of his career. Jordan tired in the late going because of the drubbing he had given 30-year-old Akins, but. he already had wrapped up the| bout and it would have taken a knockout to salvage victory for roughhouse Virgil, who was making his first defense. Contracts for the bout called for a return title fight at St. Louis within 60 days if Jordan won the 147pound crown. Truman Gibson, president of the International Boxing Club (IBC), said today, “They’re talking about staging the fight at St. Louis —in mid-February—as Jordan wants to get the return bout out of the way as soon as possible.” Jordan and Manager Don Nesseth want a mid-February date; but Akins was somewhat uncertain whether his gashed and bad-ly-bruised right brow would be healed in time to train for a fight at that time. Gibson stressed that the IBC had no part in the contract — which wfis between the two fighters and managers—but that the IBC would be interested in televising the bout if possible. Had Minor Cuts The three ring officials favored Jordan on a 10-point must basis as follows: referee Lee Grossman, 145-138; judge Mushy Callahan, 145-132; and judge Tommy Hart, 146-136. The United Press International agreed, 143-139. Don, 14th of 19 children, six of whom died, registered his 44th victory in 55 fights while Akins suffered his 19th defeat in 69. The new champion today had slight nicks over each eye, but they were so slight that only a week of 10 days will be required for healing. There were no knockdowns during the bout, but in the

After the 11th, Jordan began to tire under Akins’ body blows, many of which were low. In the 13th, a right to the body almost jack-knifed Don. Greensburg Changes To Daylight Time GREENSBURG, Ind.
