NEW 4Oftk, NOV. 20.-T'he Los
Angeles Rams will send the great
est point-making machine in pro
football history against the Chi
cago Bears next Sunday in an
effort to nail down their second
straight division championship.
Never in the long and storied
past OF the tradition-rich National
Football League has there been a
team that has scored so often-or
with such devastating suddenness.
This Los Angeles crew, which
plays like it's running down hill,
can--and does--score from any
part of the field. at any time.
You can ask the New York
Yanks about that. Bob Waterfield
and Norman Van Brocklin threw
red-hot footballs through, over
and around them yesterday, and
the result was sensational 43-to-
IS victory for the rollicking Rams.
Have Scored 401 Points.
The triumph gave Los Angeles
an 80 slate and record breaking
401 points for the seasons work.
Now. If they whip the Bears (7-2)
and the Yanks (6-3) drop one of
their remaining three games, it'll
be all over. The Bears warmed UP
for Sundays showdown with a
ITO victory over San Francisco.
Things are pretty much the
same In the leagues American
Conference where the Cleveland
Browns hold the upper hand.
The Browns (8-2) just did get
past Washington. 20-14, yesterday
and now can sit back and watch
while the New York Giants (7-2)
and Philadelphia Eagles (6-3) go
at it next Sunday.
The Giants, mystery" team of
the NFL, staged a remarkable
comeback in whipping the Balti-
more Colts, $500. After trailing
by 13 points at halftime, the New
Workers Scrapped their A forma-
tion and reverted to the T. Then
they crashed over seven touch
downs.
The Eagles weren't as fortunate.
They were upset. 14-10, by the
Chicago Cardinals when Don Paul
raced 81 yards with a third-period
punt.
In the only other game, the in
and-out Detroit Lions shaded the
down-and-out Green Bay Pack
ers. 24-21. as Doak Walker scored
all the winners points.
Two League Marks Set.
Two league standards were set
and two others tied in the New
York-Los Angeles game before
45,213 at Yankee Stadium. In
addition to setting a new point
total mark, the Rams combined
with the Yanks to pile up the most
first downs. 81.
Los Angeles 80 first downs tied
a mark set by the Cardinals last
season, and when the teams at
tempted 88 passes it equalled a
standard established last year
when the Rams met Washington.
AS for the game itself, Water
field was the individual star. He
kicked three field goals, four ex-
ira points and passed for one
touchdown. He completed 81 of
81 passes for 248 yards, while
Van Brocklin, a most capable un-
derstudy, hit 6 of 10 for Ill
yards.
Dick Hoerner tailed three of
the Rams touchdowns. Elroy
HirSch, now an end, and Glen
Davis scored the others.
Eagles Up Against 1t.
Philadelphia's loss to the Cardi-
mails, before 28,368 Shibe Park
fans, was a jolting blow to its
title hopes. The Eagles have the
unenviable task of having to de-
feat the Giants twice and Browns
once to stay in the title picture.
The Bears scored all their points
in the first half before 38.105 at
Wrigley Field. A field goal by
George Blanda, John Hoffman's S
interceptionS and a Johnny
Lujack-Ken Kavanaugh pass play
resulted in the scores. The once
mighty forty-niners failed to get
beyond the Bears 28-yard line.
A Baltimore gathering of 14,573
was stunned by the Giants
second-half avalanche of six
pointers, while 17,752 Detroit
fans thrilled to Walkers three
touchdowns. three conversions and
field goal.
Frank Filchock, incidentally,
played his first pro game since he
was suspended in 1947 for not
reporting an attempted bribe, but
had only two brief tries as Balti-
more'S quarterback.
