: BROWNS ARE PIPE -- LINING THEIR OWN THAW ; Cleveland Browns are this Week indulging in a major plumbing job--they are trying to produce a king-size '"De- eember thaw" on the frozen pal Stadium. The Browns are scheduled to play the Nation- al Football League champion- ship game there on Sunday, against the Baltimore Colts. Harold -Bossard (center), the Cleveland groundskeeper, thinks his gas-fired heaters will do the job. He plans to run the heaters all week, pour- ing hot air underneath tar- paulins . covering the field.

Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "Everything From Soup To Nuts' : CHRISTMAS? If you get a kick out of celebrating Christ- thas, either at home, with friends or with a visit "down to the farm, with the old folks" -- then just be glad you're not an NHL hockey player. When it comes to complete disregard for the sentimental feelings of a human being, the National Hockey League takes a back seat to nobody. Tonight, we find N.Y. Rangers playing in Montreal and that's not truly serious but come Christmas Day (night) we find Toronto Leafs playing in Chicago; Montreal Canadiens are at Detroit and Rangers play in Boston. Then on Saturday, Boxing Day, Black Hawks play right back in Toronto; Red Wings are right back in Mon- freal and Bruins play in New York. And if that isn't quite enough -- Sunday finds Rangers at Detroit and Boston playing in Chicago. There are few points in the season, even in the ¢rowded NHL schedule, when teams play three games in three successive nights, but to have this occur on Christmas Day, ig Day and the next day (Sunday) -- is certainly making tough for all concerned -- and for at least two of the three days -- every team is concerned. ' 4 x x x . RALPH SAZIO, the grid mentor who succeeded 'Jungle dim" Trimble as boss-man of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and ho in the past two seasons, has proven quite capable of a King-size job, was yesterday signed by the Ti-Cats to a five-year Gontract, worth $100,000. The move not only reflects the confidence the Hamilton Ti-Cat Club has in Sazio but it also puts them in the happy position that both they and their $oach know what lies ahead for five years, hence some long- fange planning can be put into force. Sazio has proven more = adequate in filling Trimble's shoes, what is more impor- he has proven popular with the club he works for, with the players he handles, with the Hamilton fans and with the Press and radio men he contacts -- it all adds up to a pleas- fhg personality and should keep the Hamilton football fans enthusiastic and ambitious, for the next few years. > x x x x * QUICK QUIPS: -- Oshawa Generals are going to play the dunior "Petes" in the Liftlock City on Sunday, January 3, ipstead of Saturday, January 2nd, as originally scheduled.

For Port Perry, Don Gibson BUFFALO, N.Y. (CP) -- It may have startled some Ameri- can Football League fans when Cookie Gilchrist hit the head- lines as a blockér last Sunday but it was no surprise to his old acquaintances in Canada. The big fullback, who is gen- erally supposed to earn his pay by breaking AFL rushing rec- ords, helped Buffalo Bills win the Eastern Division title Sun- day when his robust interven- tion kept Boston Patriots' de- fensive line from interrupting quarterback Jack Kemp's pas- sing game.
