Cleveland, champion every year since the league was ganized in 1946. broke its mate with the New York Yankees for the top rung Saturday by trouncing the Chicago Hornets, 35-2, while Yanks were upset, 17-14, by the Buffalo Bills.
Both contenders have three games remaining, including a date in the Yankee Stadium two weeks hence that probably will settle the issue. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams staged an expected "preview" of the National League championship in the Quaker City The Eagles, Eastern Division pace-setters, cuffed the Rams Western Division leaders 38-14. Each sports an identical 6-1 record and each has five games remaining. Two of the Eagles' contests are against the New York Giants, who are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for second place two games back of the Eagles. The Rams, who play their final three games at home, do not meet their chief rivals, the Chicago Bears, who are two games in arrears.
The Giants were stunned bv their tenants, the New. York Bulldogs, 31-24. It was Bulldogs' first victory.

It's a good bet that the unbeaten Sooners and Golden Bears will do repeat performancesthird ranked Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl and fourth-rated California in the Rose Bowl Rice's Owls, No 8 nationally, have emerged as the outstanding team of the. southwest and should wind up as host in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas. Where sponsors will proceed from there in filling the four major post-season bills and the dozen other minor attractions is an engaging mystery. They probably will have to do business with teams that have been kicked around a bit-maybe lost two or three games. Of last week's top 10 teams in the Associated Press poll, tive -Notre Dame (1), Army (2), Michigan (5), Cornell (7) and Michigan State (10)-are either disinterested or are bound by conference edict from participating in the Jan.

The other two-sixth-ranked Baylor and ninth-rated Southern Methodist -are beginning to lose' their bowl glimmer The Western Conference will send one of its representatives to Pasadena, but it' can't be Northwestern, which went last year, or Michigan State, which is a new league member but not yet a title eligible. This prize probably will be decided Saturday at Columbus, Ohio, where Ohio State clashes with Illinois. Ohio's are tied Michigan for the loop lead with three victories and one defeat. Illinois has won three, lost one and tied one.
Notre Dame and Army shun the post-season games while Cornell, as a member of the prim Ivy League, can't even flirt with the idea. Bowl sponsors may have to dip down into the growing list of "dark horses" for candidates. Virginia, Wyoming, Boston University and College of the Pacific, all unbeaten and untied, head this group. Tulane, pummelled earlier by Notre Dame, saw its bowl chances dimmed by a 21-21 tie with oft-defeated Navy. This left Kentucky, with seven victories and a single loss to Southern Methodist, as the best bowl bet, in the Southeastern Conference.
Southern Methodist, beaten by Rice, was held to a costly tie by the Texas Aggies, 27-27. while Baylor lost its first game of the year, bowing to Texas, 20-0.
