Colls, Giants Are Favorites To Win Sunday By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The Baltimore Colts are 7% point choices to whip the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants are favored over the Green Bay Packers by seven in Sunday’s key National Football League games. The San Francisco Forty-Nin-ers, who share the Western Division lead with the Colts, are seven-point choices to defeat the Detroit Lions. In the other games, the Philadelphia Eagles are favored over the Washington Redskins by seven points, the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored over the Chicago Cardinals by 3% and the Los Angeles Rams are 7% point picks to beat the Chicago Bears. The Colts-Browns clash at Baltimore will affect both divisions and offers many intriguing anges for pro football followers. Ewbank vs. Brown It matches Baltimore, the current league champion, against pro football’s most successful team. It matches two coaches who should not be invited to the same party. Weeb Ewbank, Baltimore’s coach, was an assistant for five years with the Browns under Paul Brown. They did not part on the best of terms. The Colts, tied with the FortyNiners at 4-1, don’t get many cracks at the Browns because the clubs are in different divisions. They knocked the Browns out of the Eastern race, 21-7, at Cleveland in 1956 and aim to hand them another blow Sunday before a capacity crowd of 57,557.

Baltimore also wants to win because it plays four of its next six games on the road The Browns (3-2) need a victory to keep within range of the Giants (4-1) in the Eastern race. They trail New York by a game and would fall two behind if they lose and the Giants defeat the Packers (3-2). In Good Condition Both the Browns and Colts are in fairly good physical condition but the Giants will be minus one of their top stars when they meet the Packers before more than 50,000 at Yankee Stadium. Frank Gifford, New York’s talented left halfback, suffered a torn rib cartilage in last week’s game at Pittsburgh and figures to miss at least two games. Jim Taylor, Green Bay fullback who has been sidelined, may be able to play Sunday. San Francisco, which scored in the final seconds to edge the Bears last Sunday, entertains a Detroit club that scored its first 1959 victory last week when it defeated the Rams, 17-7. Eagles, Browns Tied The Eagles (3-2) are tied with the Browns for second in the Eastern Division. They erased a 24-point deficit last week during a 28-24 victory over the Cardinals and play host to a crippled Washington team. The Redskins (2-3) asked "waivers on end John Carson and halfback Bill Stits after taking a 34-7 whipping at Cleveland last Sunday. Pittsburgh suffered a 21-16 loss to New York last Sunday and plays the Cardinals d-4) at Chicago. Quarterbacks King Hill and M. C Reynolds of the Cardinals were unable to play against the Eagles because of injuries but may be ready for the Steelers. High School Football Plymouth 26, New Haven 21.

Two Colleges On Probation Under NCAA BOSTON (UPI) — The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s all-powerful 18-man council Tuesday night rapped the knuckles of two member colleges and hinted that other reprimands may be issued today. Executive Director Walter Byers, acting as spokesman for the group, Tuesday night announced that the Arizona State University at Tempe and the University of Mississippi, one of the nation's leading elevens, were penalized for violating football recruiting practices sanctioned by the NCAA. Arizona Hit Hardest Arizona was hit with the stiffest reprimand —a two-year probation period, the first year of which the school will be barred from participation in NCAA programs This includes athletic events, radio' and television programs sponsored by or connected with Vie NCAA. Mississippi, with an unbeaten football team this season, received a one year probation term but the penalty will not bar the team from participation in postseason bowl games or any other activities, according to Byers. Though Byers would not say if] other disciplinary actions would, be taken today, there were indi-’ cations of some additional penal-[ ties forthcoming against other schools. Cincinnati Restored The executive director would say only that at a football luncheon schedule for today “we may have another announcement or two to make.” There was an original list of 19 charges against various schools. At the same time Arizona State and Mississippi were being reprimanded, Byers announced that the University of Cincinnati which had been placed on probation at the last meeting of the council in New Orleans last April, has been restored to good standing.

Dusty hit only .I®7 in 48 appearances at the plate last season. i
