To Poor Start In First Half And Loses, 27-24

The Decatur leaders lost to the Huntington Athletics at Huntington last night, by a score of 27-24. It was! the third consecutive defeat for the Leaders, although each of the three games has been lost by a narrow margin. As has been the case in each of tlie preceding games, the locals got away to a poor start iu the first half and then came back strong in the second period. Had the Leaders . played throughout the game like they did during the last fifteen minutes they undoubtedly would have defeat ed Huntington last night. Webb Oliver, the leaders regular center, was out of tlie lineup last night, having gone to Wisconsin, it was necessary for the locals to shift their lineup. Fossieman carried the brunt of the Huntington attack, scoring seven field goals. Miller was high point man for the Leaders with five field goals and one free throw to his credit. The Leaders will open their home season next Tuesday night, playing the Muncie Reds at the Catholic high school gymnasium. Murray Mendenhall. who played with the Leaders last season and who is well known to local net fans, likely will be s»en at center for the locals Tuesday night and perhaps so rthe remainder of the season.

Grange Gets $15,000 J For Playing Thursday "| Chicago, Nov. 27— Red Grange - turned his college fume into something a little more material cash — I when he led the Chicago Hears against Hit <’hl«iago Cardinals yesI lerday, and today he is richer some- ( thing in the neighborhood of $15,000. r The game ended in a 0-0 tie and 39,00() people turned out to see the great ''redhead's” pro debut. j The Bears —Grange included —play- . nd a better game than the Cards, but it was the brain of Paddy Driscoll, veteran of 13 campaigns, that staved off defeat. The redhead played a good game and gained lots of ground , but ho found the Cardinal defense was too strong. That Grange's presence in the Bear lineup bolstered that team considerably is shown by the fact that the Cardinals experienced little dis--1 flculty in beating the Bears earlier 1 in the season. 9 to 0. The crowd was brought to its feet dflirious on three occasions when the former wonder man of Illinois returned punts 25 yards. Red ran them back at groat speed, shaking off Cardinal tacklers with apparent ease. ! But Briscoll was too crafty to place many of his kicks in Grange’s : direction. Except on thoSb three (occasions he aimed his punts toward Joe Sternaman. another Bear backfield man and he was rewarded with hisses from the stands who resented being deprived of seeing Red carry the ball. But Grange was not so successful ,at bucking the line or skirting she | nods from scrimmage formation. The Cardinal line was too strong and his total gain from scrimmage was only--45 yards, which, however, was more • than any of the other Bears could do. With his 75 yards gain on three re- 1 timed punts, his total yardage was 120 yards.

A. led me out of the hotpipe desert into the pleasant valley of contented smokers. Comfort fell upon me . . . and it was welcome as rain to a dusty frog.
