- Wherecan

yo u trace what is, indeed, the

"greatest

show in football?"

Words spoken 13 years ago

by

Jim Tatum, then foo tball

coach at the University of

Maryland, were

cited

as an ex-

planation yesterday after the

Browns had demolished the

Baltimore

Colts 27 - o and

brought

the

world professional

football championship back to

Cleveland.

"My

brother

Ed was

remind-

ing me the

other night

at the

restaurant (Mo and

Junior 's),"

Dick Modzelewski told report-

ers in a

corner

of a far too

crowded dressing room. "He

asked

if I

remembered

the

words of J im Tatum when we

w ere getting ready

to

play Ten-

nessee in the Sugar Bowl."

Tennessee had been crowned

the national collegiate cham-

pion in 1951 and, as such, was

the

clear-cut

favorite to handle

Maryland on

Jan.

1,

1952,m uch

as the

Colts were favor ed to

handle

the

Browns.

Just be at

toughest

"Tatum said he didn't want

to be the toughest kid on the

block," Modzelewski recalled.

"He just wanted to beat the

toughest kid on the block.

"E d reminded me, and I kept

mentioning it all week."

Maryland beat

the

toughest

collegiate kid on the 1951 block,

28-13, and the Browns did even

better against what was sup-

posed to be the toughest pro

kid on the

1964 block.

The

Colts

had beaten 11 opponents in a

r o w ,

1 2 o f 1 4 i n r u n n i n g

away

with

the Eastern Division

title

in th e National F o o t b a l l

League, had scored a league-

leading

428

points

in 14

games,

had scored in 31 consecutive

games after suffering a horren-

dous

57-0 defeat to the Bears

w ay back

in

1962.

So , fi red by the words o f. Ji m

Tatum

as

recalled

by Ed Mod-

zelewski and

passed

on by Lit -

t le Mo, the Browns knocked

down

these Baltimore toughs,

ran over 'em, stomped on 'em,

twisted 'em, made 'em look

like a tangled mess f r o m

Lo-

rain.

As

Tom Harmon, the Michi-

gan all - everything halfback

turned

sportscaster,

said amid

a throng su rging toward the

champions '

quarters,"The

Browns' offensive line handled

the Colts'

defense,

and the

Browns' defensive line beat hell

o u t

of the Colts' offense."

Baltimore

had Jim Parker,

generally rated pro football's

N o . 1 o f f e n s i v e guard, but he

met his match in young Jim

Kanicki. It also had Gino Mar-

chett i , acknowledged the pre-

mier defensive end,

but he was

kept

under reasonable control

by Monte Clark.

Johnny Unitas? He threaded

the

needle

for a

while, com-

pleting

his first f i v e passes anc

six of his

first seven,

but far

more often

b e i n g

rushed before he could line up

a target, and the target wa s

blanketed

by a

secondary that

te w believed could handle

Ra y

Berry, J immy Orr, John Mack-

ey.

Containing

the Col ts also

meant containing Lenny Moore,

who had scored in each of the

14 regular season games, 20

touchdowns altogether.
