time lead.
In the same period, a brilliant
94-yard runback by Don Shula of
an intercepted pass for what look
ed like a sure touchdown was null
lifted by a penalty, one of FL for
a record total of 200 yards called
against the Browns. The bears
were ~penalized 16 times for 165
yards.
In the third period, Jones swept
around left end for II yards and
his third score but the Bears took
advantage of a recovered tumble
on their own 4O-yard strip to roll
to their first tally, a three-yard
plunge by George Gulyanics.
But on the first play from scrim-
mage following the Bear kickoff,
the Dubber swept around his left
end and then cut back across the
field for 81 yards and another
touchdown.
Jones again tore loose the next
time he got his hands on the ball
and scampered 43 yards down the
| sidelines early in the fourth period.
This was followed moments la

The lanky Cleveland Browns
halfback was the power gear in
Cleveland's humiliating 42-21 de-
feat of theonce-mighty and always
proud Bears before 10000 fans
in Municipal Stadium yesterday.
Jones scored all six touchdowns,
equalling a league recordwhich was
set back in 1929 by Ernie Nevers
of the Chicago Cardinals, as he
turned in one Of the most sensa-
tional performances ever witness
ed on a Cleveland field.
In a rough-tough battle which
also established a new NIL record
for penalties, the Browns proved
much more superior to the Chica-
goans than the score indicates as
they notched their eighth straight
victory.
The rout began early in the
second period when Jones crashed
