Van Buren Tops
 Pro GriddeFS

Chicago, Oct. l7-Steve Van Bur. en, rapidly establishing himself as the greatest ball carrier since George McAfee, ran into first place among National Football league ground gathers last Sunday while his Phil- adelphia Eagle colleague were los. ing to Detroit.
 The former L. S. U. star went 93 yard through Detroit's defenses in ten attempts to jump from ninth place with e total of 163 yards gain- cd in two games. Coupled with his three attempts in the Eagles open CT against the Chicago Cardinals e week ago, he now has carried the ball from scrimmage i3 times, on average of l2.6 yards per attempt.
 While Van Buren was hlghlight. ing his performance with Q So yard touchdown jaunt against Detroit, Sammy Baugh, the Rotan rancher, was turning in another of his many matchlesS performances against Pittsburgh to become No. l among National league passers. Baugh conl- pleted i8 out of 2l passes to lead washington to Q IA tL 0 victory. It was one of the veteran Baugh's best days as e major leaguer, and gave him Q percentage of .eo4 for two games.
 The Best
 Although Cleveland prevented him from scoring any touchdowns, Don Hutson was successful enough against the ranE,aging Rams to take over his old place ct the head of the pass receiving table. Seven passes moved him up from second to first with 6 total for three games of l6, good for 333 yards and four touchdowns. He also retained his lead over scorers, adding two extra points to his total to give him S7 points against 27 for Ted Fitsch, Green Bay full back, who remained in second place.
 Ken Strong, New York'S veteran place kicking specialist, is off to . flying start toward c record in his speciality with four field goals in two games. Strong has missed only one attempt thus far this season.
