Colts Favored To Beat Giants For Pro Crown United Press International NEW YORK • UPl)—The Baltimore Colts, a professional football team backed by fans with the rahrah spirit of collegians, are point favorites to win their first National League title Sunday by defeating the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium. A crowd of 70,000, including IS,OOO Baltimore rooters accompanied by the 80-piece Colts band, will jam Yankee Stadium. Hundreds of thousands of more comfortable fans will watch and hear the television-radio (NBC) broadcasts of the game, beginning at 1:45 p.m., e.s.t. If the score is tied at the end of the regulation game — something that never has happened in an NFL. title game—the teams will go info “sudden death" overtime with victory going to the first club to score a touchdown, field goal or safety. The players get the main cut of the profits from the game and it promises to be a big one. The gross receipts figure to top the record $593,967.50 drawn by the Cleveland Browns and Lions last year at Detroit. Each of the players on the winning team may get almost $5,000 and each loser may receive about $3,000. Gocd Weather Expected If the weatherman is right, it will be Baltimore’s well-balanced offensive and defensive power against New York’s crack defense in fair weather with the temperature in the high 30’s or low 40’s. Coach Weeb Ewbank’s Colts, backed by fans who generate higher spirits than mountain moonshiners, clinched the Western Division title two weeks before the end of the season. Striking behind the passing of John Unitas, they led the league in scoring with 381 points. —. Sunday the Colts crash into the league’s stingiest defense. New York's defensive unit, led by such star linemen as Andy Robustelli, Dick Modzelewski and Rosey Gier, allowed fewer points than any other club. This defense hauled the lowscoring Giants (they averaged less than 20 points a game) into an Eastern Division tie with the Browns and then shut out the high scoring Cleveland club in a playoff last Sunday, 10-0. The 280pound Grier suffered knee and arm injuries in that game and may not play against the Colts. Giants Nipped Colts The Giants, who have won nine division and four league crowns, edged the Colts at New York,. 2421, midway in the regular campaign. However, Unitas and L.G. Dupre, Baltimore's regular left halfback, did not play in that
