 New York, Nov. 6-(UP)-Not 6 in the memory of the oldest living Ma tional League Football fan has there been time when a victory by the Chicago Bears over anybody could be classed as the seasons top upset, but that was exactly the sit- uation today after their triumph over the Green Bay Packers, 21 to 0.
 When the season began, the World Champion Bears had suf- fered loss of many of their top stars and with Green Bay getting off to a fast start, it appeared that the Packers were destined to inherit the mantle of professional greatness and until yesterday that was the way it developed.
 When they met at Chicago yes- terday, the Packers were heavy fa- vorites but that didn't make any difference to Ensign Sid Luckman, the Bears master passer and stra- tegist. On shore leave from his ship in the Maritime Service, Luckman himself was the measure of differ encet. He scored the first touch down in the first period on cen- ter sneak after setting up the score with pair of passes good for 36 yards. Within three minutes in the third period he tossed touchdown passes of 31 yards to Ray Mclean and 25 yards to George Wilson.
 It was the first time in 66 games that Green Bay had failed to score in league competition. Moreover, Don Hutson, Green Bays brilliant end and pass receiver, was held Scoreless for the first time in Al games.
 Hard Pressed
 The co-leaders in the Eastern division, Washington and Philadel- phia maintained their pace with victories, but neither got by as cas- fly as expected. The Redskins had to hold off desperate fourth pe- riod pass barrage by the Cleveland Rams to win IA to 10, while the Philadelphia Eagles found the Brooklyn Tigers, under new coach- ing, a hard driving eleven, and were hard pressed to win 21 to '.
 Two long second period passes by flingin' Frankie Filchock accounted for both Washington touchdowns. The first to rookie end Les Dye of Syracuse, was good for 61 yards while the second to regular receiver Joe Aguirre covered 25 yards. The Rams took an early lead in the first period on Lou zontini's 24-yard field goal and gained desperation touchdown in the final moments on a 76 yard drive, clibaxed by 35- yard scoring spring by Harvey Jones, former Baylor star.
 Steve Van Buren, first year youngster up from Louisiana State, paced Philadelphia to its victory settling the issue in the first period with dazzling runs of T and 39 yards for touchdowns. Brooklyn scored on a third period pass from Cecil Johnson to Andy KowalSk which netted 58 yards.
 A pass from quarterback Roy Zibberman to halfback Mel Bleek- CT which covered 56 yards provided the other eagle touchdown.
 The New York Giants gained an easy 3l to victory over the Bos- ton Tanks with the veteran Ken Strong, as kicking specialist, the high scorer of the day. His seven points on a field goal and fou conversions topped Bill Paschal. Len CalIigaro. Ward Cuff and Bill Petrilas, who scored the four Giant touchdownS.
 The Detroit Lions handed the futile Pittsburgh Steeler-C Chicago Cardinal Amalgamation its sixth straight defeat, 27 to 6. with Art Vna Tone making two touchdowns and Frankie Sinkwich and Bob Westfall one of each. Bob Thur bon made the Pitt-Card touchdown on a pass from Johnny Grigas. CknwlsTmc
