Snyder, Garner Johnson and RED ENTERTAINS The fana'of Miami have at last had the pleasure of getting 'some first hand dope about the famous "Red" Grange. If there were any doubtfuls in the Southern resort before the arrival of the much-talk-ed-of ice man, they are now boosters of the abllty. of Red to carry a pigskin on a grid. Red stepped over -the sod for the only touchdown of the day when he covered the great distance of two yards In two Cowns for the tally. That wasehls first act on the "program thajE he had prepared to demonstrate before the twenty thousand fans in the stadium.

About the end of the first half, or rather the first act, the chap with the brilliant top again gained the center of the stage by doing the Charleston around his own right end for 33 yards. More praise from the Miamians! Then again in the final period. the line of the team representing Miami presented- the ex-iceman with a large hole through thelrmidst, whereby the coming-millionaire accepted the compliment and dashed down the field for 45 yards.

Grange carried the ball nine times for a total yardage of 98 yards, losing nine yards on two attempts and being halted for no gain In one try. He played three, full' quarters, being held out during the third period. The famous sorrel-topped flash made his first run of the game late in the second quarter when be ripped off 33 yards around right end.

A rough and ready type of 'fighter, always giving the public a run for its money, he has been a. popular performer. Several times Kansas has reached the stage where he was regarded as a logical contender for the lightweight but he has always fallen just a. short of the mark. Three times he won enough recognition to be matched with Benny Leonard.
