Packers And Giants Meet For NFL Title By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer The Green Bay Packers’ pen-nant-clincher turned out to be an anti-climax, but the free-and-easy New York Giants carried on their hi jinx right to the final Sunday of the National Football League season with a record passing performance by Y.A. Tittle. They’ll meet for the league championship for the second straight season, Dec. 30 in New York, and the Giants are counting on their hot hand to reverse the outcome of last year’s 37-0 rout in Green Bay. The oddsmen have pegged the Packers as favorites for the title game, to which the Giants ask: Who ever, expected us to come THIS far? Green Bay clinched its third straight Western Division title Sunday before its game at Los Angeles was five minutes old. By that time, the second-place Detroit Lions had lost to the Chicago Bears, 3-0, dousing their last hope for the title. Packers Relax Upon learning that, the Packers “died,” in the words of Coach Vince Lombardi, and went on to an uninspiring 20-17 victory over the weak Rams, winding up the season- with a 13-1 record. Meanwhile, Tittle and the Giants couldn’t. pass up the opportunity to steal the scene. The 35-year-old “YAT” threw six touchdown passes to set an NFL season record of 33 as the Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys, 41-31. In Sunday’s other games, Lou Michaels extended his field goal kicking record to 26 by booting

(UPD — Two young sisters were struck and killed by a train engine Sunday when they took a shortcut home from ice skating. Marna Adams, 12, and her sister, Colleen, 8, were killed on the New York Central Railroad tracks near their home. The girls were on their way- home to change their damp clothing before attending a movie at their church- hall. Instead of using a pedestrian overpass of the New York Central Railroad tracks near their home in a quiet residential area, the two brown-haired youngsters decided to take a shortcut across the tracks. As Marna and Colleen hurried along the tracks, an engine rounded a slight curve and bore down on them. Engineer Arnold CE Holgate, 59, saw the girls. He yanked his whistle cord and hit his brakes but it was too late. Police said it appeared one of the youngsters was trying to pull the other out of the way when they were hit.

Oilers, Texans To Play Sunday For AFL Title UPI Sports Writer The Dallas Texans and the Houston Oilers, both of whom thrive on pressure, will be counting on momentum when they turn the American Football League championship, game next Sunday into an all-Texas affair. The Lone Star State teams, owned by a pair of the world’s young millionaires, determined to ■forge at any cost a strong rival for the established National Football League, completed their third AFL seasons with identical 11-3 won-lost records.

Title Game Sunday Now, they’ll settle the league title at Houston next Sunday in their third clash of the seaon. They split the first two games in back-to-back mid-season scheduling. The Texans walloped the Oilers 31-7 at Houston and the Oilers bounced back the ensuing Sunday with a 14-6 decision in Dallas. Texans Coach Henry Stram, after praising his team for its refusal to take the enemy lightly with the title in the bag, said he felt the showdown contest would be “a fine game.” ‘‘We have momentum going, but so does Houston,” Stram said. Houston Coach Pop Ivy, who watched the Texans sandbag the Chargers Sunday with four Tommy Brooker field goals? four pass interceptions by Bobby Ply, fine running by Abner Haynes and clutch passing by Lenny Dawson, had nothing but praise for the team he has to beat. “Real Fie Team” “They (Texans) have a real fine team.” Ivy said, “both offensively and defensively. Their running game is so good it makes their passing had to defend, plus the fact that Dawson is a running threat too. Their balance is tremendously troublesome.” The Oilers' George Blanda, after quarterbacking his team to its seventh successive victqry Saturday to nose out Boston for the Eastern Division crown, warned Dallas that Houston is “twentyfive per cent better than the last time we beat them.” Blanda threw three touchdown passes and Billy Cannon got away to the longest run of his pro career, 64 yards, for another as the Oilers cut down the Titans in 2QThe Texans’ Hayes, who had a
