ST. LOUIS POST-OISPATCH THUKSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1920. 34 ST. LOUIS POST-OISPATCH GRANGE'S SHIFTY RUNNING DELIGHTS CROWD OF 5300 AS BEARS WM ft Elusive Red Head Scores Four Touchdowns, Gains 1 46 Yds; Conzelman Stars Hastily Recruited Donnelly Stars Unable to Cope Smooth-Running Chicago Team Final Score 39 to 6. With a ataasT iiiiii sWiiiiiiiiT By John H.

Alexander. Red Grange, iceman emeritus and commercialized football player, is an honest business man. He does not ehortweight his cash customers. While a 37-yard runback of a punt yesterday at Sportsman's Park was his most spectacular bit, it Berved to give St. Louisans a clear-cut picture of the great open-field runner's work and, happily, occurred along the side of the field closest the J4.40 seats.

So the party was a success. Bears on Both Sides. Grange did many other things to rfpl'ht nf the 5300 spectators who deserted their jobs la the mid-die of the week to ee the famous Illinois back lead the Chicago Bears to a 39 to 6 victory over the Donnelly Stars, an impromptu assortment of former local collegiate stars, with a sprinkling of all-America choices of recent years. He spiralled forward passes, caught them from Joe Sternaman, caught punts, ran thera back, stiff-armed tacklers, plunged through the line, ran the ends and scored four touchdowns. His total yard-ape for the afternoon was US ard3.

and his stay in the game all told was Just short of three quarters. Others Versed in Football. Grunge was not the only star on the Chicago team. In spite of Red's performance, many would swear that he was no better than'tini Chirac Benr Know for aaaagnnnjanajMKBS a ir anisaaaawas 11 MassWss Walker to Defend His Title Against Fuente Is Fined $50 forFaldnf Heavy Boxer Punished for Bout at Yuma, Coast Battler Annexes Junior 130-Pound Title Team to Battle Ohio Five Tonight Cincinnati Clujb Is Composed of Former College Players SoMan High Opposes Lebanon, 111., High in Preliminary Game, Starting at 8 O'clock.

Don Russell's all-star ball players, organized several weeks ago to play under the colors of the New Coliseum A. C. in inter-city battles during the coming season, will undergo their baptismal fire tonight in the opening engagement of a two-game series with the Guarantee Trust Collegians of Cincinnati, on the New Coliseum court. Toddy Kamp will referee. Johnny Mohardt, former Nptre Dame star and teammate of the great George Gipp.

Mohardt played a ruthless offensive game at right half and was responsible for much cf the Bears yardage. Then thsre were the Sternaman brothers, Illi nois men, who seemed to be in on everything, and "VValquist and Rom- ney of Chicago, but the "77" stood out like a sore thumb. Grange's 37-yard runback of the runt -caught him In the familiar stride that local football fans have gaped at In the movie news reels all season. It is hard to describe that action. Essentially, It seems to be the ability to make tacklers miss him completely without forcing him to lose headway and to shake them loose once they catch hold.

He does not seem to be going at a great speed but men who have rlayed against him say this is an illusion, that his speed is his greatest asset. One such run as yesterday's is worth the price of admission. One does not often 6ee a player who can run into an apparently hopeless muddle of enemies and shake them from his shoes like so much mud. Grange does that. His footwork is deft and artful and when he breaks loose in an open field, he resembles nothing so much as Eliza skip-ring over the ice floes with the bloodhounds baying at her heels and a child tucked under one arm, changing pace and varying her course slightly with each successive hop.

Bears Deceptive Attack. The Donnelly 8tars. wt lded haphazardly together In one day's practice and spurred on to supreme effort by the promoter's upraised fountain pen, were totally unable to cope with the crushing, deceptive onrush of the Bears, and they did employ plenty of deception, so well executed that many times the crowd couldn't find the ball toter until he was free ef the scrimmage. Jimmy Conzelman. a lightweight among heavyweights, with the same distinctive inclination forward from the hips that used to mark him on Francis Field, played a brilliant game.

He was, in fact, the fire that kept the locals In the running and he did everything- but renter the ball.

CONCORDIA BASKET TEAMS OPEN AGAINST McKENDREE SATURDAY I Concordia Seminary will have a strong team to contend with in Its opening game of the basket ball season Saturday night at Holy Cross Hall, when It meets the Mc-Kendree College five. Last ear the visitor were the class or the Little Xineteen Conference and with four letter men back on the squad this year, Isom, Ray, Carter and Brown, ircKendrea is again expected to make a strong bid for honors. Coach Fenenga of Concordia Is not underestimating the strength of the opponents and sending his charges through some stiff work-oats." The defense of the Concor-dians will be bnilt up around Thoile, captain and stellar guard of last year's team. Aiding him at the guard position will be either Cickstaedt cr Erich. At center either Jesse Ludwlg will do the Jumping, and the forwards will be chosen from Jesse, Helns, Wagner and Hellbusch.

North western nead linesman, Kama. bids fair to go down in the ro mantie side of local sport historv with the man who struck Otto Fink ot the Schumachers on the button ana tne unknown who beaned Whitey Witt with a pop bottle, al most stole Grange's honors in the last quarter. He was thrown in at defensive fullback for the Don nellys, an inoffensive, hatless, un aer-sizea reiiow In milk white socks who looked like a high school quarterback. But the npasked knight, whose name did not appear on the program, soon had the throng yelling "What's his name?" He was actually stopping the Bear offense and whenever Brltton or Grange was thrown for a loss, the white socks could be seen kicking vigorously at the bottom of the pile, where every good football player should be. He may have been animated by no greater sentiment than "let us die for dignified funeral service" but.

In the fickle favor of the stands, the day was almost his. Persons who do not react to the charm of mystery circulated the report after the game that he was Benny Hohson of Wabash College. a former McKinley High star. Thus did football lose a romantic char acter. The peanuts at yesterday's game were moldy.

The promoters announced the to tal receipts of the game as Of this amount Grange and the Bears will receive $7S34 and 11547 will be split by the local team. A total of 5032 persons paid admission to the game. At Tia Juana. By the Associated Press. First Rare Five and one chimin.

S. Two Eastern title holders came to grief before Tacific Coast boxers last night, one losing his crown. Tod Morgan, a Seattle youth with a long reach and hard-hitting ability, annexed the Junior lightweight crown by scoring a technical knockout over Mike Ballerino of Eayonne, N. at Los Angelas. Charley (Fhil) Rosenberg, New York bantamweight champion of the world, lost a decision to California Joe Lynch cf San Francisco, at Oakland, but not the title, both men fighting over weight.

Ballerino opened with a ter-riSc assault and gamely tried to carry the attack to the challenger throughout, but the Northwestern boy, with eight inches longer reach, punished him severely, and the Bayonne slugger's seconds threw a towel into the ring near the close cf the tenth round. Ballerino had taken one count of nine, another of three, and was groggy when hi aides called a halt. The champion weighed 1J9 i pounds and the challenger 12S. The Lynch-Rosenberg go was a slashing affair for 10 rounds, with the titleholder slightly the aggressor, but Lynch's two-handed counter-attack had much to do In giving him the edge. Lynch took two rounds, Kosonberg one, with seven even.

The San Franci-jco boy's most spectacular work came In the Iith round, when he staggered the Is'ew Yorker with a hard rl.cht to the jaw. Rosenberg weighed and Lynch 122. A. A. CLUB OWNERS ADOPT 20 PLAYER LIMIT FOR NEXT YEAR Py the Associaffd Press.
