boy" tag on Paul Hornung be-
cause Of his curly, blond hair.
That was a mistake-the gold
in Hornung has to be his toe
and his ability to win the
money" games for Green Bay.
The former Notre Dame star
booted the defending National
Football League champions into
sole possession of first place
in the Western Division yester-
day, kicking three field goals
in a 9-7 victory over Detroit.
And, as usual, he saved the
best one for when it was needed
this time 33 seconds from the
finish.
In other NFL games, New
York stayed hot on the trail
of the Redskins, who beat the
Rams, 20-14, in the Eastern
Division, with a 31-14 victory
over st. Louis; Cleveland de-
feated Dallas, 1910; San Fran
cisco rolled over Baltimore,
21-13, and Chicago shut out
Minnesota, 1870. Pittsburgh won
over Philadelphia, 1877, Sat-
urday night.
Adderley Gives Assist
Herb Adderley set UP Hor-
nung's winning kick. The for
mer Michigan State halfback
intercepted one of Milt Plum's
passes and ran 40 yards to
Detroit's 21-yard line with less
than two minutes to play. After
two running plays, Hornung
stepped back and split the up
rights from the 2l-yard line.
His other two boots were
from the 15-yard line, one in
the first period the first time
the Packers had the ball and
the other in the third quarter.
Adderley also blocked one of
Wayne Walkers two unsuccess-
ful field-goal tries and other
wise teamed with the rest Of
the Packer defense that held
Plum, the NILS passing leader,
to only 80 yards on IL compile
tions in 26 tries.
Mud Hampers Attack
Fullback Jim Taylor picked
UP 95 yards for Green Bay, but
the Packers couldn't keep their
ground attack moving on a
muddy field. A tumble by Quar-
terback Bart Starr preceded
Dan Lewis 6-yard touchdown
run for the Lions in the second
period.
Y. A. little passed and ran
the Giants (3-DZto their third
victory in four starts. He hit
Del Shofner with a scoring
pass, outstepped the Cards
defenders for a 21-yard scor-
ing run and then paved the
way for Alex Webster's 1-yard
scoring burst. In all, he COM
pleted is of 26 for 100 yards.
The Cards (1-3) got both
scores from the running of
John David Grow.
Jimmy Brown scored two
touchdowns, one on a 50-yard
pass play from Quarterback
Jim Ninowski, who suddenly
fired the Browns (2-2) to a
second-half comeback with
nine competitions in 10 tries.
Lou Groza helped celebrate
Lou Groza Day" in Cleveland
with a pair of field goals. Don
Meredith's pass to Frank
Clarke got a touchdown for
Dallas (1-2-D and Sam Baker
added a field goal before the
Ninowski-Brown combo put it
away.

The offense OF the Forty
Miners (2-2) was too much for
Baltimore (2-2), and its de-
fense too much for Colt Quar-
terback Johnny Unitas, who
was lifted in the second period
after gaining only five yards
on two competitions. John
