There was q game . week ago
between Cleveland and Washing

take undisputed lead Of the Eastern
Conference.
And then yesterday there was
not one but two involving leaders
Of the Western Conference. The
Detroit Lions, 1862 league cham
pions, edged the San Francisco
Aoers out Of share Of the TOP
Yung, 1910. But the Los Angeles
Rams kept pace with the Lions by
downing the Chicago Bears 1924.
The victories Of the Lions and
the Rams made Bells schedule
look good again for the two teams

each showing q record Of four vic.
tories and one defeat.
The 4sers' setback dropped them
into a third place tie with the
Baltimore Colts, who trounced the

The 49ers, who dropped a 24-21
