CHICAGO, Dec. 4-The Green

It concerns another national pro

the 1899 diadem.
Both teams qualified for the title
engagement yesterday with victories
that clnched division titles, but only
after terrific struggles. The Pack
ers slid by Detroit's fading Lions,
IL to Z, and the Giants nosed out
the Washington Redskins, 8 tot.
Packers Come From Rear.
The game at Milwaukee will be
played at the Wisconsin State Fair
Park with a sellout crowd of 10000
a virtual certainty. The Giants
title-deciding victory over Green
Bay a year ago, at the Polo Grounds,
was by 23-to-l7 margin.
A crowd of 62,404 spectators-sec-
ond largest in pro history-saw the
Giants clip the Redskins in New
York, 81, on three field goals, one
in each of the first three periods.
At Detroit, the stubborn Packers,
third highest-scoring team in the
circuit and four time national
champion, trailed until the fourth
period. Then Clark Hinkle smashed
over for the winning touchdown.
The Packers got their first five
points on field goal by Tiny Enge-
bretsen in the second period and a
safety in the third.
Lions Barely Miss Two Goals.
The Lions barely missed two field
goal efforts by Paul Martinovich in
the first two periods, then managed
to score in the second period, when
Dwight Sloan romped Is yards for
a touchdown from a spread forma-
ton.
In the only other game of the
day. Cleveland defeated Philadel-
phia, IS to 13, at Colorado Springs,
Colo, with Parker Hall and Davey
O'Brien engaging in a forward
passing duel.
The season just ended was fea-
tured by continued upward sweep
of attendance figures in all sections
Of the 10-team league.
It was banner year for playing
records. Naming few, the Chicago
Bears, runnersup to Green Bay in
the West, set a team scoring mark
of 298 points. Parker Hall estab-
hshed a record of 116 completed
passes In q season and Davey
OBrien completed 81 for q new
