By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The last
place Chi-Pitt team may not be 60
ing places in the National Football
League, but its 200-pound Johnny
Grigas, former Holy Cross ace, cer-
tainly Is.
Ofncial league statistics released
today show that Grigas, called by
many observers the perfect T-for-
nation fullback, has captured the
ground gaining lead from Bill Pas
chal Of New York with 4 seven-
game total of 554 yards.
The hard-hitting Grigas amassed
123 yards In IS attempts against De-
troit Sunday, coming within ~
yards Of the Lions total rushing
gain. Meanwhile, Paschal was held
to 46 yards in II tries by the Phila-
delphia Eagles, dropping him to
second place, Al yards behind Grigas,
with q total OF 5l3.
Also Is Capable Passer.
Although the Chi Pitts, now
beaten seven straight, have lacked
polished quarterbacking, Grigas
speed and power have bitten deep
into the defenses of untricked oppo-
nents. The fullback, who mainly was
responsible for Holy Cross epic
55-13 upset Of touted Boston Col
lege several years ago, also has COM
pleted "a Of SO passes In seven games
to rank among the leagues top nine
tossers.
After two-week touchdown
drought, amazing Don Hutson OF
Green Bay climbed on his scoring
bicycle Sunday to tally two 6-point-
ers and six conversions against
Cleveland. Hutson now heads the
scoring column with 68 points.
Filchock Still Top HEAVIER.

but the Redskin sniper still Is far

with 81 hits in 112 attempts for 959
yards. Sammy Baugh. the forgotten
man Of Washingtons air attack,
moved into sixth spot with IL COM
pletions in 20 attempts against
Brooklyn.
Hutson still dominates the pass
receiving department. Although his
49 catches for 739 yards is far ahead
of second-place Bentons record Of
81 grabs for 377 yards, he leads the
Ram star in payon passes only seven
to six.
