A record-breaking crowd of 103,000 spectators, the most who ever saw a football game west of the Mississippi, watched the two home-town adversaries struggle on near-even terms throughout the game.

(V-The New York Giants and Green Bay Packers, pro-football's two finest teams when the chips are down, clash tomorrow for the national grid before a record gate at State Fair Park. A crowd of 32,000 has paid $80,000 to see the classic between the National Professional League's best, representing the largest and the smallest cities In the loop. Good weather, with no rain, remained the forecast.

The Giants will go into the game without the leadership of stout Steve Owen, as smart as they come in pro football. The husky Giant coach and onetime great pro tackle, is in Oklahoma attending his mother's funsral. His assistant, Bo Molenda. a former Green Bay player, said Owen would not here tor the title battle. The game brings together the league's finest defensive unit and the most dangerous passing outfit.

The stage was sH for a similar battle a year ago, and the Giants won, 23 to 17, but the glory of their victory was dimmed somewhat by the fact that Don Hutson, the Packer' brilliant pass-catching end, was Injured and played only briefly.

Tennessee, one of the greatest football machines produced in the South, most likely will get the Rose Bowl bid and they will lick whoever they meet ings: because they are truly a great team. MaJ. Bob Neyland and- his entire coaching staff should be congratulated for producing such a marvelous eleven that finished the season unbeaten, untied and unscored on. Best of luck to the Vols in the Rose Bowl. Auburn and the Tiger grid mentors in turn should receive plenty of back slaps, because as MaJ.

It was a clean fought pigskin classic that thrilled the fans and it was the first time in a long while that both teams were satisfied with the out 11 10 10 9 8 6 opened In 1923 with 85,000 In the treasury. At that time, the Packers had 14 players. More were added In 1924-25. Since the team was a community project, off-season jobs were found for the men and today many a retired player Is In business here or coaches In nearby cities.

The Packers as a team and as a gate attraction began to roll about 1925. They won the league championship In 1929,. "30, '31 and "36. They have won the Western division title the last two years. Local fans, who because ot the city's size can and do rub elbows with their gridiron heroes, turn out by the thousands.

Moreover, the team to: Just about the best attraction In the league. It played before record crowds in Milwaukee, Cleveland and Green Bay this season, and drew 40,537 in Chicago in the Bear game.
