affair. with it up to the quarter

was q thriller. although 1t was
Bob Waterfield steering the
Rams that year. and the 1851

was another dilly.
Lou Groza and his gpld-plated
toe decided the matter In the
final % seconds Of the 1850
battle. his field goal giving the
Browns q 1928 decision.
But 1t was Graham and his
passing and running that led
the charge UPHELD to give Groza
his opportunity.
In 1851. taking over for Water
field, Van Brocklin beat Graham
and the Browns with less than
eight minutes to play when he
sailed long pass to one of his
ace receivers, Tom Fears, and
the 73-yard scoring play brought
the Rams in to win, 24-17.
Many of the old and several
new stars will be on deck Mon
day at Memorial Coliseum to
renew the title feud, with
Graham bidding football good
bye and Van Brocklin un-
doubtedly hoping Otto makes
this retirement stick.
Van Brocklin. the Flying

in both passing and running
So statistical comparisons mean
little. In addition, Van Brocklin
