Lions Defeat Rams For First Win Os Season By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The New York Giants, Baltimore Colts and San Francisco Forty-Niners believe the best offense is a good defense and have the first-place credentials to prove it New York has taken some of its worst whippings in Pittsburgh and needed its powerful defensive unit to salvage a 21-16 victory over the Steelers Sunday at Forbes Field. The triumph, a costly one which may sideline allleague halfback Frank Gifford for two weeks, enabled the Giants (4-1) to hold their one-game lead in the National Football League's Eastern Division.

San Francisco, which has allowed only 65 points, kept pace with Baltimore (each 4-1) when Y. A. Tittle’s 46-yard pass to R. C. Owens in the final 65 seconds produced a 20-17 victory over the Chicago Bears. Browns Trounce Redskins The Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles (each 3-2) remained a game behind the Giants. Milt Plum threw four touchdown passes while sparking Cleveland to an easy, 34-7 victory over the Washington Redskins. The Eagles, aided by alert defensive {day and Norm Van BrockUn’s passes, erased a 24-0 deficit in the second half and edged the Chicago Cardinals (1-4), 28-24. The Detroit Lions, 11*4 point underdogs, pulled Sunday’s big upset by downing the Rams (2-3) at Los Angeles, 17-7. It was Detroit’s first 1959 victory and left it tied with the Bears (each 1-4) for last in the West. Sam Huff, New York’s AllLeague center linebacker, scored the winning touchdown in the Forbes Field mud when he grabbed Larry Krutko’s fumble and dashed five yards early in the final period Bobby Layne, the one-man gang who threw a 35-yard pass to Buddy Dial for Pittsburgh’s touchdown, then booted his third field goal of the ganfce tocot NeW* York’S friargtn to five points. Defense Saves Day Huff and his defensive buddies saved the victory in the final minute by holding for downs on their six after Ernie Stautner gave the Steelers a .final chance by recovering a Joe Morrison fumble on the New York 16. Gifford scored twice in 52 seconds on 77 and 28 yard passes from Charlie Conerly but was taken from the field in an ambulance after suffering rib injuries. Green Bay shocked the Colts and a sellout crowd of 57,577 when Lamar McHan’s pass to Max Magee went for 81 yards and made it 14-all. The Baltimore defense and Unitas then reeled off three third period touchdowns. John Sample ran a punt back 25 . yards to start a drive that Unitas ended with a three-yard pass to Alan Ameche. Linebacker Bill Pellington stole a McHan pass and ran 30 yards to score. Halfback Ray Brown stole another McHan pass to set up a Unites toss to Raymond Berry for Baltimore’s last touchdown. Pass Wins Game Tommy Davis’ 31-yard field goal gave the Forty-Niners a 13-10 lead with about three minutes to go at San Francisco. Ed Brown drove the Bears 83 yards in three plays, throwing 30 yards to Jim Dooley to make it 17-13 with 1:54 to go. Y. A. Tittle then sent 59,045 fog-shrouded fans home happy by ending an 80-yard push push with a pass which Owens leaped to snare in the end zone. Plum enjoyed one of his finest days as a professional. He completed scoring passes of 76 and 15 yards to Bob Mitchell, a 12-yarder to Preston Carpenter and a 10yarder to Ed Modzelewski Jim Brown, who gained 122 yards in 17 rushes against the Redskins, . ran 30 for the otjier Cleveland touchdown.

"Northwestern Is a great team” be said. "They have strong runners, poise and balance and the experience it takes to be a consistent winner.
