Dozens of fans said they felt likewise about that white-hot struggle between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.

The record crowd of 46,484 in Wrigley field the largest ever to see a professional football battle in the middle west-had its money's worth long before the final gun sounded on the 16 to 14 score. Up in the working press box the Chicago scribes were dumbfounded until they came up with the declaration that the Bears were not prepared for a seven-man line. Although they had been writing up the Bears as invincible, as a great collection of football players that no team could stop, they admitted that the Packers were even better. Coach Curly LambeaU was so happy that he hugged steady, sober Baby Ray twice not once. Others also came in for similar thanks.

Assistant Coach Red Smith was practically at a loss for comment, and that doesn't happen Very often to the redhead. It would be difficult to name the outstanding player, since there were so many fine performances. Give Russ Letlow some credit, though. Russ did great work at guard before he went out limping, but that was not his biggest contribution to the victory. All season Letlow has been working out with the Pack-ers.

When, Sunday came, however, he scouted the Bears, returning each Monday to Lambeau with his detailed reports. Much of the Paoker strategy against the Bears was based on those reports. Despite the tough grind the Packers have had this season, it was clearly demonstrated that the fans were with them. Several thousand went down to Chicago and other thousands stayed away only because they were unable to obtain tickets. The Packers were agreeably surprised when their train pulled into the North Western statipn after midnight to see some two or three thousand people waiting to greet them.

More than one told us to mention that they appreciated such backing. 1 And now the Packers seem headed for another championship. It will be a difficult grind, and they may not make it, but the Green Bay fans can be assured that they will give every-, thing they have. They proved it against the Bears. noumn, mcKey, raaeni, ueianant.

Ambrose started out with a bang. Taking the opening kick-off, they moved from their own 30 to the St. Norbert 21, where Feser recovered Mike Cervin's fumble.
