Sutherland Squad May Spoil Perfect Record
New York Giants Prove
 Glass Of Pro Grid World
BY GEORGE K1RKsEY

AAAASAAe~A~@ Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 21-(UP)-The Detroit Lions, 1885 professional football champions, maintained their hopes today of remounting the throne, but the odds against achieve ment were tremendous.
 The Lions must win their final two games, agains Chicago's Bears and Cleveland's Rams, to tie the Green Bay Packers for the western division crown; then beat them to enter the east-west divisions playof. Either New York or Washington, as eastern champion, would be the Lions final obstacle-and real one. Detroit kept alive its mathema- tical chance Sunday with 7-3 vic- tory over the Chicago Cardinals, who now have lost nine of 10 starts. The Cards stopped the Lions famed ground attack and forced them to the air. A short -the-line pass, Huffman to Moscrip. in the first period, gave the Lions their only touchdown. Moscrip shook of two tacklers, skipped through broken field 47 yards and across the goal He then kicked the extra point.
 Giants Art Tops
 Green Bay missed a chance to clinch the division title when beaten 15-3 by the New York Giants, who increased their eastern division lead to 8 full game over the idle Wash ington Redskins. Two stunning plays one which ended in a boomerang for the Packers, gave the Giants vic- tory after they had trailed 3-2 in the third period. Tuffy Leemans broke of tackle and, with perfect blocking aid, galloped 75 yards for one touchdown. A few minutes later, Mel Hein, Giant center, intercepted one of Cecil ISbell's passes and ran like half back 50 yards to score his first touchdown in eights of pro ball. Statistically, the Packers showed the Giants all over the lot, making l ~ A4AoO OOWAAo OO OLA. n CkOWu O4 50,000 watched this thriller.
 Dodgers Dunked
 Brooklyn's Dodgers were con- demned to third place in the east as they bowed 24-6 to Chicago's revi- talized Bears. An 80-yard march cli- maxed by Buivid's 20-yard pass across the goal line to Wilson, gave the Bears lead they never surren- dered. A victory over Detroit Thanksgiving would clinch second place tie for the Bears.
 The Philadelphia Eagles, last years cellarites, defeated the Pitts burgh Pirates 14-7 for their fourth win of the campaign. Whizzer Whites brilliant 79 yard touchdown run put the Pirates into 7-7 tie in the third period, after Dave Smuk- ler's touchdown pass to Bill Hewitt had set the Eagles out front in the first. The Pirates fought the Eagles to standstill until late in the final period when RiffleS 54 yard gallop on delayed line buck, took the ball to Pittsburg's II from where Smuk- Ter heaved a pass to Joe Carter for the winning margin.
