FOEMEN Quakers Hurl Another Defi at Frankford BOB FOLWELL, coach of the Philadelphia Quakers' eleven, champions of the American League, issued a sweeping challenge to the Frankford Yellowjackets after the latter had defeated the Chicago Bears yesterday afternoon.

"We stand ready to play the Jackets anytime or anywhere they wish. I would suggest playing the game on Saturday, December IB, on a winner take all basis. We are not after the National title, all we want is a game with the Jackets," continued Folwell. i I yr 'kS vfri 1 VJ5 VI Hamer Kicks Goal From Placement for Point After This Tally and Jack- els Are Triumphant Thrilling Fray Senn, Former Knox Col lege Star, Races 61 Yards for Sole Counter Thatl Comes to Driscoll and His Bruins By GORDON MACKAY BLAZING over the ebbing, dying minutes of a thrilling buttle like seme sirocco sweeping the lesert, the Frankford Yellow-Jackets yesterday matched victory frou. defeat when they conquered the Chicago Bears before shivering supporters at Shibe Park, 7 to 6.

It was in the tiua! quarter that the great offensive of teams burst through the adamantine defense of the rivals, and parked fifteen minutes with such drama, thrills and wonder plays that the spectators vanned in the boat of their own emotions. Coming from behinn like some great seudrille. the Jackets swept through the air to wing their way to victory, a triumph that sent them in the van of the lirnius, and may be the salvation of the Chiimberlin (-Ian when final tumors and a i essioual crown are HH nlftl. lutsuitiiling as the hero of the en-Miinter was a manikin in moleskins, a shrimp in armor, but a giant in war, and his mime is Hoinan.

Hamer Settlea It Then Tex Hainer, a gladiator of might yesterday, had the issue placed (liiarefy on bis sturdy and running hoof. Four minutes before a son of Knoi College, named Senn, had galloped sixty-one yards for the first touchdown of the game, the match that se' fire to the offensive with which the Hornets stung their rivals. Then Paddy Tiriscoll.

He carefully brushed the leathered toe, and he carefully squinted at the rrosslwr. Weir, the tackle from Nebraska, brushed the dirt from a little tie of grass, and Tex went back, walked to the hall, and with a horde of Bears thundering down upon him, kicked the point after placement that gave victory to the homesters.

Notre Dame failed In do this once, but made good on its other try, and tlierenn hung the victory and the honor.

Dee. 4 VINCENT MCNALLY, substitute quarter-back on the Notre Dame eleven, and a native of Philadelphia, really saved the game lor the Hoosiers today, when he intercepted a forward pass that gave the Fighting Irish the ball 1st the fourth period. The Trojans wore racing down the field, when a long pass was attempted. McNally came out of nowhere, grabber) the ball out uf the air and stopped the attack.

It was after receiving this pass, that Notre Dame started its offensive with Parts ien in the saddle that put over the winning touchdown. leather under his cIIkiw hikI reeled off a thirty yard run, the tirst step toward-a Trojan score.

Drnry similarly was unsuccessful some time later and thereby the battle was lost, llie third period was ii blank in seining ami Williams took up the Heavy work lor Southern abforniu after Kaer retired. In a succession of effective bucks, aided by Wheeler and Laranetti, Southern California forced the ball to Notre Damn's 11-yard line, then Williams went to first down on the yard mark and next over for a touchdown. Drury, Itiiue in Ihe knees, could not kick the lidded point. 'Ihe early pari of the fourth period was repetition of the same old stubborn battle. With five minutes, to play and the ball on bis 'Mi-yard line, Rockne sent in I'arisen at (pinner and the Notre Dat.m march to victory sUirted.

The Bears, playing a deceptive offense based on the system used by 'enu, swept hither and yon but they found themselves up against a fruitless quest whenever within the twenty-five-yard mark.

r'rankford, to, was rounding the ends and sweeping off tackle, with I lamer a stalwart in this attack. But despite the fart that each team could gain consistently for a time, then fail when a touchdown loomed, the contest kept its measure of iaierest all the way thiough. Then came the' final period. Paddy ririscoll still remained in command of the Bears. Romney was still in the bncktielil, but Senn.

of Knox College, bad replaced of Illinois and Knop had "listed Dutch Sternamaii. Then the Bears started their sweep. Senn. fast as greased lightning afoot, was ruining the defense of the Jackets. He was rounding Crowthors' end in a manner such as no other foe has done this season, but finally Frankford was able to get the bull.

Hamer turned loose a brilliant punt that traveled fifty yards or better, and it was grounded on the Bears' SU-yurd line. The Bears had used a splendid formation, which swung seven men on one side of the line, with attack directly behind the centre and the running back five yards behind the wing back. The ball was passed to Senn on this formation and away ho started like a hound freed from the leash. The interference that sprang into action for him was wondrous. Senn Gets Away A wall of humanity strode in front of this speedster with the oval under his arm, and the first man knocked out was Crowthers, the end.

Another interl'erer picked off Tex Hamer, a third put Two. Bits out of play, and then Senn straight-armed another. By this time the whippet from Illinois was free and he was going like a limited. The left side of the Frankford line by this time had swung into pursuit, and Chamberlin was pulling down the terrain between himself and Senn, but the time was too short and the distance too great for the Jacket manager to turn the trick. Senn went over the line, just two yards ahead of his pursuer.

Drisooll then failed the goal, and vast stillness fell upon the cohorts of the Jackets. But this pall lifted immediately. Frankford realized that but two minutes were left, and discretion must be tossed to the winds and the pigskin to the backs. Stockton, easily the best forward passer in football this season, was assigned that task. He wafted one of those flat baseball passes to Bruder, and five yards were gained.

Stabbing the line once yielded Continued pn 3d Page, 3d Column the thumbs of his gloves in Walker's eye. Vanger, the "Tipton Slasher," of other years, always was recognized as an honest performer when he was a contender for championships in the lighter divisions. 1'or several years he has been boxing instructor at the Chicago Athletic Association and his honesty never has been questioned. Vanger did not know that he was to referee until he got the nod from Chairman Iligheinier as Flowers and the challenger crawled into the ring. Sanger, along with three other referees, were ut the ringside, and none of them knew which would be picked.

"I gave my decision as 1 saw it with a clear conscience and I still feel the same way." Vanger said, in his statement to the commission. Chairman Higheitner revealed he had sought to obtain the services, of Phil W. Collins, a Chicago insurance man and former commander of the naval post of the American Legion, to referee the bout an hour and a half before the match. Collins refused, however, as he did not wish to be identified professionally with boxing to the prejudice of his business. Collins, as an amateur promoter and referee, had raised more than fur disabled veterans by promoting boxing contests prior to the enactment of the boxing law.

The commission was not prepared to say whether it felt it had power to reverse the decision, but the indications are that such a procedure would only bring ridicule upon the governing body of boxing in this State. There may be fnrtber developments in the situation, before the next meeting of the commission. is scheduled for Tuesday, but this may lie retarded as unlikely.

3 (A. TBE Illinois State Athletic Commission today backed up the decision of Benny Yanger. referee of the ten-round championship tight last night, which resulted in the passing of Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Iieacon, ad the resurrection of Mickey Walker 'o the middleweight throne. The decision was booed by a majority of the 111,000 spectators and criticised today by five of Chicago's newspapers. John Itigheinier, chairman of the commission, accepted the statement of Vanger that his decision was strictly honorable.

Furthermore, Chairman Itigheinier, let it be known in no uncertain wonls. that he personally viewed Vanger's decision as an un-certain wm-ds that he personally tiewed Vanger's decision as an unquestionably honest verdict, but. perhaps one of poor judgment.

Flowers opened the gash over Walkers left eye bv a butt, and that, by "flicking" with the open glove, reopened the wound in each niceeediug totmd.
