On the at-tempted conversion the snap from • ,j center was fumbled by Cole and the f ball was downed by the Bear Cubs.1 PENETRATE TO 28 Once the Cubs penetrated to the , Card 28, but there Shipkey’s five-man line, ably backed by Taylor.Bill Mannon, and Red Laverty, I I reared lip to halt the invaders. Mannon especially was all over the field intercepting two passes and making stop after stop. But those persistent Be ars came right hack with a 25-vard pass from Pickett to Jim Ferguson which carried way down to the Card 12. j U,1£I! was Cole who halted this invasion with an interception on the 5-yard line which he returned to the 12.
