Galloping Ghost Slowed to Canter in Contest Played at Shibe Park

RED GRANGE SCORED WINNING TOUCHDOWNS BUT OTHER BACK CARRIED BRUNT OF TASK

The so-called galloping ghost of Urbana made his eastern professional debut with the Chicago Bears against the Yellow Jackets at Shibe Park last Saturday and his galloping might better be described as a mild-cantor -- the cantor of a tired workhorse which sights the stables after a hard days toil.

Grange scored both touchdowns in the 14-7 victory of the Bears over Frankford, but the stage was set for him and the conditions ideal. Each time the famed Illinois red-head carried the ball over the final chalk mark on a dashing run of less than a yard.

Grange undoubtedly possess great ability as a ball carrier, but Chamberlin had the Jackets keyed to concert pitch against the former Wheaton ice man.

The Jacket forwards were primed for action and time after time smeared the big ice man from the west before he could pass the line of scrimmage. IF anything the Jackets were just a little too primed for Grange and not prepared for the slashing runs of Bryan, Joe Sternaman and Walquist.

It was the all-around ability of the other Bears to work the ball within scoring range that enabled the "touchdown by Grange" announcements to be broadcasted.

Ben Jones, the new acquisition from the Canton Bulldogs, did all that was expected of him when he snared a long pass from "Gonzaga" Stockton and galloped over the chalk marks for the Frankford touchdown. Tex Hamer kicked the goal.

The entire Frankford line outplayed the Chicago forwards. Two-Bits Homan was spectacular in his catching of punts. Hamer, Stockton and Jones were brilliant in their defensive work and Hamer got off with a beautiful broken field run after snaring a partly blocked punt.

The muddy condition of the field greatly hampered both teams. The Chicago running attack was undoubtedly crippled because the Bears depend a lot on wide end runs. On the other hand the smashing forward pass offense of the Yellow Jackets also was virtually voided by the condition of the ball and treacherous footing.
