seems the statistician has the An
swer to why the Cleveland Rams
have the only unbeaten-united re-
cord in the National Football
League.
His official figures on team play
in the League Show the Rams are
either first or second in every de-
partment of offense and defense
except the pass-attack. While the
statistics don't single out the indi
viduals mainly responsible for the
Rams unexpected upsurge, it ISM
hard to put a finger on the genera.
reasons. Statistics include confer
ence games only.
For example, those figures show
Cleveland has the most powerful

the Rams to be a bunch OF oppor
tunists too, when it comes to capi
talizing on intercepted passes.
In three games, the Rams have
gained 935 yards from rushing ane
forward and laternal passing. Tha
figure ranks second, by IL yard!
to that of the pass-conscious Chi
cago Bears. But of those 935 yards
634 were gained on the ground
while the Bears have made bu
296 yards from Scrimmage. Tht
Boston yanks are third in tota
gains, with 920 yards, and secone
in rushing, with 519 yards, tn,
statistics reveal.
The Rams have allowed theil
foes but 635 yards in three game!
figure lower than all othe,
clubs except Philadelphia, Wash

played but two games each. New

burgh have the weakest defense
The Packers have given up LOG
yards and the steelers 1,044 yard
in three games each.
Cleveland ranks second to Bos
