(Republic Photo by Nuss)American League Season SeenIn Miniature On Closing DayColts Win OpenerAs Unitas AddsTo Pass RecordBy MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer The name Vince Lombardi has been pencilled: Into Green Bay Packer annals. Johnny Unitas gets another line in Baltimore record books. Bert Bell smiles,Bell, the National Football League’s major-domo,' again has predicted that this, season — the pro circuits 40th — will be the greatest in history. He does it every year.But, he couldn't have known*.1. That the Packers, almost unanimously picked to finish last in the Western Division, would make Lombardi’s debut as head coach a monumental success with a 9*6 upset.of the highly ranked, Chicago Bears,2. That Unitas, Baltimore’s passing wizard, would fire the befuddled Colts to a 21-9 victory over the' stubborn Detroit Lions and extend one of the NFL’s greatest records at the same time.While the Packers and Colts were winning their season-openers over the weekend, the Chicago Cardinals continued to support the thesis they are the team to beat in the Eastern Division by thumping Washington 49-21.‘ In other curtain-raisers, New York’s Giants pulled a mild upset by edging Lo$ Angeles 23-21. the Pittsburgh Steelers downed Cleveland 17 - 7 and San Francisco’s 49ers defeated Philadelphia 24-14,Jim Ringo pounced on a fumble on the Bears’ 26 to set up the Packers victory. With Paul Hor-nung and Jim Taylor alternating, the Packers moved goalward, Taylor going the final five yards, Hor-nuiig’s conversion put the Packers ahead to stay 7-6. The Bears were the top team in exhibition play with a 5*1 record,Unitas hit Ray Berry with anthethrown a touchdown pass—a record without parallel in pro football history..Bobby Joe Conrad scored on dashes of 56 and 35 yards,, took a five-yard pass for another touchdown and wound up with 25 points as the cardinals overwhelmed, the Redskins.

The Pittsburgh defense completely throttled the Browns’ offense and held Jimmy Brown to 81 yards in 19 carries.READ THE WANT ADSBy ED WILKSAssociated Press Sports WriterIt’s impossible to crowd a whole season into a single day, but the American League came close to doing just that, painting the picture in miniature in the final games of the year.There was right-hander Bob Shaw, the big surprise who helpedboost Chicago to its first pennant in 40 years, winning his 18th as the White Sox beat Detroit 64 Sunday.There was Harmon Killebrew, the quiet i kid who exploded the season's first home run opening day and made a run for Babe Ruth’s record, hammering the final homer of the campaign asWashington lost to Boston 6-2, It was Killebrew’s 42nd, tying Cleveland’s Rocky Colavito for the title in the AL and matching the Senator high set by Roy Slevers in ’57.There was Herb Score, the southpaw who slumped and took Cleveland’s second-place Indians with him, losing his sixth in a row since July 3 — when the Injuns were first — as Kansas City beat the Tribe 6-5.And there was New York’s 3-1 loss to Baltimore, putting an end to the year the Yankees didn’t win the pennant, a year in which they lost more and won fewer than any other Yankee club in 34 seasons.While the White Sox, who'll have to wait a bit longer for the World Series opener while Los Angeles and Milwaukee meet for the National League pennant, put it awayearly for Shaw (18-6), the Tiger’s Harvey Kuehn was l-for-4 and won his first batting title with a ,353 average.Luis Aparlcio added a couple oi stolen bases for a total of 56, highest in the majors since Washington's George Case had 61 in 1943 and tying the White Sox record set by Wally Moses the same year.With Killebrew's 42nd homer and Slevers hitting his 21st, the Senators pushed their club record to 163 — the old Nat high was 121 last year — but finished last for the third straight season. The Red Sox, with Ted Williams knocking I in two runs with a single and a double in what may have been his final game, finished fifth, a game ahead of Baltimore.The Orioles, blanked on five hits by rookie John Gabier for 7 2-3 innings, put together five succes sive singles for all their runs in the eighth, leaving New York with a 79-75 record. The Yankees, who had won four straight flags, hadn’t done so poorly since the 69-85 seventh-place finish of 1925. On the heels of the defeat, theclub announced that Casey Sten' gel, who has won nine pennant? in 11 tries with the Yankees, will complete his two-year contract which ends after next season. But pitching coach Jim Turner, whispered a couple of years ago as Stengel's successor, was turned loose “with regret.”Ftwiardaloike3*1fitthththNEldiTHIS WINTERtrade pushfor pijlU18-yard touchdown pass as third period closed to get the Colts, who had floundered for 40?sleya738\fi7^aS\«‘w‘elllrainut«s' °ut ,ront 14-9' 11 was thsesieyan 38, They stalled off well 126th consecutlve game in WhiCpthe Baltimore signal-caller hasmough as Andersh. went five yards,s calledput a 15 - yard penalty was nd the ball was placed on the 22.
