Grange Breaks Free For Long Run In Turbulent Chicago Game
Grange burst away for a long run as his team beat the Tampa Cardinals 17 to 3 after a rugged late surge. A 60 yard TD aided by a two point game, Sternaman kickoff, and a 20 yard pass set up another score. Grange had three carries early but stalled twice before a six yard gain on the third try. The preceding drop kick field goal and ensuing drives shaped a rough, low scoring contest. In other action, the New York and Boston tennis honors crowned Seligson and Shields in national boys and junior finals with Seligson defeating Jacobs and Shields beating Thomas. Seligson’s all around play earned both indoor and outdoor titles, reflecting a strong season.
