P|ayoff Of Colts, Bills
For Eastern AAC Title
Likely Passing Battle
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

BALTIMORE, Dec 11.-A sea-
sonal high attendance of 10000 for
the Babe Ruth Stadium is ex-
pected tomorrow for the Eastern
title playoff in the All-America
Football Conference between the
Baltimore Colts and Buffalo Bills.
The Colts forced the playoff last
Sunday by beating the Bills, 35-15,
in the last game on the schedule.
This left the teams with matching
records of seven triumphs and seven
losses.
Tomorrow's winner goes to Cleve-
land next Sunday to play the un-
beaten Browns for the conference
championship.
The regular meetings between
Baltimore and Buffalo give no clue
to a favorite in the playoff. The
Bills won an early season tilt by
35-17, only two points different
from last Sundays outcome in re-
verse.
The spotlight again will be on
the rival passing quarterbacks,
George Ratterman of the Bills and
Y. A. Title of the Colts. Last
Sunday Coach Cecil Isbell sort OF
crossed up the Bills by cutting
down Titles passing and coming
up with a surprisingly improved
running game.
Title, the second best passer In
the conference, threw ony IA, but
eight were completed for net of
1853 yards. Nearly half OF this total
was fashioned in a scoring toss to
Lamar Davis. Ratterman had a
rough afternoon. f1inging Al and
completing II for % yards less than
Title.
The running of Billy Hillenbrand,
Bus Mertes and Stormy Pfhol pro-
duced 14O yardssfor the Colts, only
Is less than the more vaunted Buf-
falo rushing attack.
Baltimore has made a particularly
long climb to the playoff spot. Last
wear, the city's first in pro football
the club wound up in the divisional
cellar with only two victories. A
victory for Buffalo would give the
Bills their first title, too.
Just in case the teams wind up
with the score tied at the end of
the regulation game tomorrow the
teams will rest three minutes and
60 right on playing as many Is
minute periods as necessary until
one scores.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Pro foot
balls eyes will turn westward to-
morrow to Chicago. where the
Bears and Cards battle to see which
will get a crack at the Philadelphia
Eagles for the National Football
League championship. Even the
Redskins and Giants. winding up
their affairs here. will be keenly
interested in the windy city activ-
tty.
This Washington-NeW York duel
will be only sideshoW today, one
of three similarly meaningless
games. Steve Owens men, how
ever, will fight to win third place
in the Eastern division from the
Pittsburgh Steelers, who tangle
with the revitalized Rams at Los

delphia to play the Eagles, hardly
daring to hope for the victory that
would give the Lions fourth place

division.

game here, however, for young
