Browns Meet Giants Sunday For East Title By EARL WRIGHT United i Press International The Cleveland Browns will play the New* York Giants, only team ever to interrupt their unprecedented domination of the National football League’s Eastern Division, for the conference title next Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland, most consistent winner in professional football history, clung to its one-game lead over New York Sunday by scoring a 21-14 decision over an inspired Eagles team at Philadelphia. The Giants, described by their coach as “not a good club,” kept their hopes alive when Harland Svare blocked a Jim Martin field goal try with :13 remaining to preserve a 19-17 victory over the crippled Detroit Lions. The Browns can win their eighth Eastern Division title in nine years by defeating or tying the Giants Sunday in a game which will draw a capacity crowd of more* than 71,000. Hie Giants must win'to tie for the crown and then beat the Browns \ again at Yankee Stadium Dec. 21 to qualify for the championship game with the Baltimore Colts Dec. 28. Cleveland swept six Eastern titles after entering the NFL in 1950 and won again last year after the Giants snapped their record string in 1956. Rams Defeat Colts Baltimore, which will invade the Eastern champion's park for the championship game, clinched the Western crown a week ago. The Colts opened the weekend action by dropping a 30-28 decision to the Rams at Los Angeles before 100,202 —the third largest crowd in league history. In Sunday’s other games, Bobby Layne’s two touchdown passes sparked a rally that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 14-14 tie with the Washington Redskins; the Chicago Bears turned Chicago Cardinal passes and fumbles into an easy 30-14 victory, and the San Francisco FortyNiners turned, three interceptions into touchdowns in the first six , minutes en route to a 48-21 triumph over the Green Hay Packers- ■>, . ' .->■< Milt Plum, Cleveland’s sebondyear quarterback, scored on a 10 yard dash and a one-yard plunge in the first period but Tommy McDonald caught touchdown passes from Norm Van B?ocklin and Bill Barnes to make it 14-all at the half. The Browns swept 74 f yards in six plays for the decisive touchdown late in the third period. Ray Renfro, fleet flanker ; back, scored it when he took Plum’s pass on the Philadelphia 25 and raced on to complete a 48-yard play. Rugged Battle •Jim Brown, who gained 138 yards in 21 rushes, and Lew Carpenter, who colected 100 in 211 tries, heped Cleveland to control the bail.

Hie Browns finished first and it appeared they would win the Eastern crown outright when the Lions took a 17-12 lead into the final period before 50,115 fans. Then Yale Lary of Detroit gambled on running from punt formation in a fourth-and-22 situation on his 43 and was dropped on his 45 by linebacker Cliff Livingston. The Giants then drove for the winning touchdown with Frank Gifford slamming the final yard on fourth down after Charley’s 35yard pass to Bob Schnelker put the ball on the Detroit 10. Lians Scare Giants But the Lions, who started the game with six regular sidelined and lost halfback Gene Gedman and end Dave Middleton early in the contest, gave the Giants another scare. The 1957 champions began driving after Terry Barr stole a Conerly pass and returned it to the Detroit 41. The Lions moved to the New York 17 and Martin prepared to boot a field goal from the 25 as the final seconds ticked away. The Giants, who are short on talent and speed but long on spirit, blocked it. Andy Robustelli blocked qut Jerry Perry, Detroit end, and Carl Karilvacz rushed through to bounce linebacker Roger Zatkoff out of the way. Svare knifed through the opening they made and blocked Martin's kick. Thus the Lions, who gave New York an assist last month by beating the Browhs, just missed in a bid to knock the Giants out of the Eastern race.
