Perhaps it was old English Joe Beckett, the most felled heavyweight In the history boxing.

It was literally over the prostrate forms of the Tampa Cardinals that Red Grange yesterday afternoon tacked a touchdown on the totem nole he snatched from Jim Thorpe, Little Twig, Calac and the rest of the Cardinal tribe.

(A.P.) A sensational 85-yard drive straight down the field in the final moments of play gave Notre Dame a 6 to 0 victory over the Princeton all-stars here today. The game was played as the feature sport event of the fiesta of the American tropics now being celebrated in greater Miami. Notre Dame, exhlblting her famous "four horsemen" and a part of the 1924 championship outfit, battled against a Princeton squad composed of former Nassau stars and Eddie former Cornell all -American back. Through three quarters, a constantly changing Notre Dame backfield charged vainly against a. sunerior Princeton line, with honors a shade in favor of Nassau until the final quarter.

Twice Princeton threatened to score, early In the opening period and again in the third quarter, when Stan jvecK, xormer Princeton all-American lineman, attempted placement kicks, both of which fell short-Both teams relied largely on aerial attacks, which netted short gains from time to time. At the opening oi me unai quarter, isatre Dame launcnea an offensive at her own is yard line which took her straight to Princeton's two yard marker. Thrice the "four horsemen" battered an im pregnable rorward wall, only to be turned back.

MAN 0' WAR'S SON WINS '25 HONOR FOR U. S. TURFS American Flag Is Best 3-Year- Old Colt of the Season NEW YORK. Jan. 1.

For the first time in' several years, there was no rapyrus rrom England or lninai-d from France to add a touch of inter national glamor to the rarine- season but, nevertheless, it contrived to enjoy Its customary success. Crowds were as great, if not greater, than ever oeiore. tjompetition was of the best. And so were the chamnions. One of them was American Flag, son of the great Man o' War.

American Flag had no trouble in establishing: his supremacy as the best three-year-old of me campaign. Pompey, Is Champ Another champion was Fomnev. which won the Futurity, the Hopeful and most of the important stakes for two-year-olds. Pompey was beaten only once, Flight of Time getting the honor, but there was no doubt that tne lornier was entitled to be hailed the leading juvenile of the year. American Flag won the Belmont.

the Withers, the Lawrence Realiza tion and other big stakes, but didn't start in either the Kentucky Derbv or the Preakness. Flying Ebony Good The Churchill Downs classic went to Flying Ebony, an outsider. The latter was fortunate in drawing Earl Sande as his rider, the great jockey taking the assignment overnight and giving the colt a million dollar ride down the stretch. The race was run on a heavy track. The Preakness, a rival $50,000 stake conducted simultaneously at Pimlico, went to Coventry, another long shot, Ryan Outpoints Barrett in Bout CINCINNATI.

MOON MULLINS at tne feeing lorm, ana mey naa an it was jvipmig who iwiu that (when you have had your fun you inust eventually pay for It.

There is nobody to guarantee that when you have paid for your fun you will surely enjoy it. But Tam pans were, not disappointed yesterday. Some 7,000 of them paid good prides to see Red Grange run, and they, saw mm ai least inuso ou were able to keep up with the flying form of the former Illinois star saw him. A Great Gridder "Jrnnre nnoeared to be all that has been written of him. He seems to have everything that 13 required to make a good football player of a man.

Those same Cardinals who had admitted Grange might make a touchdown "over our lanen ooaies nrobably are still wondering today just how Red did manage it. The great run came in the fourth quarter, after Grange had sat on the sidelines throughout the second and third periods. Red started through his left tackle. 3ust loafing along a- if Via not thought of a toucn- iinn-n Siidilenlv ho increased his speed, shot through an opening in the Cardinal line and swerved towards the west sideline. The hardlv seemed to know that Grange was free until he was past.

Two backs dove and hit the sod as Red continued on his way to the safety man. Complete Evasion Armstrong w.s playing back, and headed Grange oft as he sped down the sidelines near Red merelv slackened his pace, swayed almost to the ground and sprang back into high speed as Armstrongs "body hurled past and fell to the ground. A. clear pain to a. iuuui-down remained for the touchdown mad Grange.

That represented only a fraction of the 17 points the Chicago Bears piled up in defeating the Tampa Cardinals, 17 to 3, but that touchdown was by far the biggest item in the afternoon's entertainment. Seven thousand some odd Tampans had paid to see Red Grange make a touchdown, and had he failed they probably would have felt as if Kipling should have written, must pay for your fun whether you have it or not. Golden Egg a Game with the exeeDtion of that one great run, it was otherwise a tame afternoon for Bed Grange, and apparently just what Manager C. C. wanted.

Grange carried the ball not over a dozen times during the entire afternoon, and only once seemed to really extend himself, a Jie tz i. o-t. a hanl eame -at Jack sonville this afternoon, and Mr. Pyle realizes his charge must not exert himself too much, liven me sou an lav oniv one golden egg a daiv so they probably figure that too much must not De vl neu rir-Q rt tre. Nevertheless, it was a corking good game.

The Bears are one of the most powerful football teams ever moulded together, while the Cardinals themselves have class. Had the two teams been playing yester- day under the standards of the in-tercollegiates inspired with the ar- dor and enthusiasm tnat goes nana in hand with Alma Mater the game undoubtedly would have reached such a degree of perfection that it would have gone down in football history as one of the gridiron's classics. Not So Insipid After All Reams have been written of the lack of spirit attached to a professional gridiron game. Yesterday, however, there was an elderly, well dressed individual-who walked up and down the sidelines, urging the Tampa Cardinals on to their greatest efforts. His exhortations were taken up by the crowd, and before the game was half over a bona fide "rooting" squad -was in action.

As the Cardinals responded to the pleas to "show those Bears up," Tampans, in their first pro grid experience, found that the taste was not so insipid after all. Even Dr. II. E. Opre, who assumed charge of the e-ame only two days ago.

in the face of certain losses, not once oast estimating glances at the crowd. He was asked whether he thought the "gate" would cover expenses, and responded: "That doesn't matter. We are seeing a good football game, and a good team trying to wallop a bet-4 ter one. There is enough good land in Florida to make up whatever I lose on today's game." The Day's Scoring Cold analysis of the game shows that Red Grange and Eddie Ster-naman scored touchdowns for the Bears, Ed added a field goal and kicked two goals after touchdown. for a total tally of 17 points.

For the Cardinals. Coach Ursella booted a field goal for three points. Cold analysis can not ten or the moments in which the Cardinals threatened, when Lamb. Armstrong, Covington and Calac threaded or battered their way through! Bear defense. 1 Cold analysis can not tell of the feelings of old Jim Thorpe, who is to football what Christy Matthewson was to baseball, as he realized he is "not as young 33 he used to be." Thorpe can still put up a creditable performance on the gridiron, can wtiil circle the ends or smash the line but he Is not the Thorpe who in other days drew the thousands as Red Grange today draws them.

Pullirtfl For Thorpe Thorpe played the major portion of yesterday's game, and gained a fair amount of yardage. Once he received a punt and weaved his way back 20 yards before being downed. Eyes of Tampans were on Thorpe as they were on Grange, but sentiment was different. They were ready to praise Perpetual Jim if he flashed even a bit of his old brilliance, quick to censure Grange if he failed to live up to his newer and liver reputation. However, they were quick to cheer Red when he did come through.

There was one little gridder who won instant favor when he entered the game in the second quarter. It was aneep' umb, pony back for the Cardinals. Lamb gained an unusual amount of yardage, returned punts for gains when it seemed impossible, and other wise distinguished himself. Down But Never Out Lamb has a knack going to his knees and' knuckles of one hand when he Is tackled. Apparently down, he can be seen to rise sud denly, and scoot forward, a few more yards.

Lamb probably evaded more tacklers in yesterday's game than Grange did. The difference was that Red dodged all his at once. Sheep was removed from the game in the fourth quarter, his hands pressed tightly to his- right side, aeainst a rib which had been smashed. Lamb given a great ovation as he limped to the, sidelines after a grid exhibition that was equally as whole souled as if "Sheep" had been giving his best for Lombard, where he received his football training. Flash and Calac Threaten Coving and Calac were constant threats while In the line-up.

Flash is as fast as his name implies, and the Bears watched him closelv. Calac literally cracked the Bear line asunder when he took the ball on a plunge. In the first quarter ho came dangerously near a touchdown when he broke through guard for 16 yards and followed with five more and bucked again for a first down' on Chicago's 15-yard line. To Earl Britton, Grange's team mate at Illinois who for some reason or other doesn't play these days when Red is in the line-up. must go the laurels of playing the best defensive ball yesterday.

Earl was in practically every play, and In that first quarter when the Cardinals were pounding at the Bear goal line lie made three consecutive tackles to stop the drive. 1 Scors Early Red Granee and his Rear rnt to an earlv start in the unrinr shn-tii. iiau mcKea on to tne Cardinals, Thorpe, fumbled and Crawford recovered on the Tampa 2D-yard line.

Bears Score Twice Red Grange re-entered the trame shortly after the fourth Quarter opened, and immediately dashed to a touchdown. Declerk had punted to the Bears' 30-yard line, and Grange took the ball off tackle.
