Kehrt, then, must be doubly blessed, for he has Ronnie Bland as well as Lovellette.

That makes Kilburis the team’s “sixth man” and the most capable of replacements. As you might suspect, Garfield is best at the more deliberate type of game but the Purple Eagles have enough speed to hold their own if Marion wants it that way—fast and furious. And that's probably the way Coach Woody Weir-of the Giants will try to make up for the Garfield height advantage.

It was up to Commissioner Ward (Piggy) Lambert today to decide whether or not the Chicago Gears were winners of that hair-raising 7472 decision over the Indianapolis Kautskys in the first National league playoff game at the Butler field house last night.
