111.. Dec. 14. New York Giants' crushed the staggering, reeling, bruised and battered Bears. 9 to 0.

in a National Professional Football league game at Cubs' park yesterday. The Giants were" out to avenge that 19 to 7 pasting the Bears and Harold Grange handed them a week ago before 70.000 wild-eyed foothall fans at the Polo Grounds. They achieved their purpose, if indeed a victory! over a team in as sorry a state as the Bears were yesterday could possibly bring forth whatever gratiOcation there is to be bad by the age-old Latin impulse re-One week of seven days sometimes makes vast differences. And so it was yesterday. Grange, the Red Rover, was unable to play in this game because of aggravated injuries to his left arm.

There were 18.000 fans in the stands when the game got under way, tho Grange's inability to get into the game caused thousands of cancellations of reservations. Such-1 is the unparalleled drawing power the famous Sorrellop. I Those 18.000 souls who paid to see this game knew before the game that they would not see "Bed run. A week ago 0.000 paid to see Orange gallop at New Vork, and that is exactly what he did. A week ago the Bears came on the field perhaps the strongest and best conditioned team thai ever stepped on a football field.

But that was a week ago. The Chicago team went into the game yesterday with two strikes on it- The team was like a pugilist coming out of his corner after-he had been knocked down for a nine Bears Worn Thin.

Miss Eleanor Sears, noted society sports- woman, attempted to walk 44 miles in 15 hours today to win a bet. She lert Providence. R. at 1 a. and her early progress gave her high hopes of being able to reach her home in exclusive Beacon street, Boston, within- the stipulated, period.

The amount of the wager was withheld, but Miss Sears, said she made it a year ago in Paris with Howard Sturges of Provi-. dence. Alter a six-hour sleep at a hotel in Providence. Miss Sears arose at midnight, "boiled eggs, took Sturges home and started her hike. She wore heavy shoes, -white silk stocking over which were woolen hose, a short, wide walking skirt, shirtwaist, sweater and suede jacket.

Her grey hair, which Is not bobbed, was uncovered. She had a felt hiking hat and her ankles were heavily bound with supporting gauze. A thermos bottle of coffee, another containing malted milk, sandwiches and other provisions were carried in a beach wagon. She has been training for the hike for two months with long walks in the Bide hill reservation In the outskirts of Boston. LOCAL PLAYERS DRILL HARD FOR OPENING GAME Davenport "High Basketball Team Gets Underway Friday Night By JOHN DOW.

With the Wilton game the ilial encounter on the Red and Blue basketball schedule this season, only four days off. Coach "Newts" Bornholdt will work his cage squad tooth and toe-nail. The local basket! mentor is facing a none, too easy task this year and. with- one exception, the squad is yet an untried Ever since tbe opening practice. Bornholdt has been watching his men with a hawk-like attitude and has readily discovered that floor-work and handling the ball shall occupy a prominent place in the daily routine.

So naturally those two phases have been given plenty of attention-Basket shooting has not been left out in the cold and Bornholdt has killed two birds with one stone by putting the men thru some sweat-bringirig drills on short shots. Al- tho the ability to sing goals is near par. the passing and handling of the ball is still a little distance from what Coach Bornholdt wants it to be. Even tho the squad is. as.yet.

some distance from the representative type, it has shown a steady improvement-Look for Forward. In the search to locate a mate for Captain Mosier. Bornholdt has found several promising candidates and it will be a tough fight between these men to land a position. Bnt places on the team are not to be had for the asking at the local institution and so far it Is anybody's At practice Saturday morning at J. E.

Young Intermediate, Coach Bornholdt sent his men thru a long scrimmage with the Johnson's Young cagers. giving every man a chance to shtfw his wares. The squad as a whole didn't look so bad but the feel of the ball was lacking. Two more games: have been Personally. I prefer the wooden faced driver.

In wet conditions the ivory faced club often becomes slippery, causing the ball to have a tendency to curve in some direction. The ball actually slips when struck by the wet ivorv. i' For Champions Play to s. Dean Absence of Red Grange Causes Cancellation Dec 14.

CALLAHAN JOMES HERE Semi-Windup, with Muscatine Battler in Star Role, Promises Action. When the American Legion presents its first boxing card of series at the Coliseum Friday night, much and stirring -action is promised local fight bugs. Malcor, the lad who comes nere from the Pacific Coast to do the swapping act with Al Kubiak of Milwaukee," i a hard-hitting pug who has a tight grip on the middle "weight title of the Pacific Ccfast. Maleor's record is known to tight fans thruout the country.

He has never appeared before local bugs but hopes to win himself a home here Friday night. He is a two fisted he-man and is known for his ability to stand toe to toe and slug with the best in the welter and middle- division. However, it isn't. Maleor's record that' local fans are bothering about. They are peering into the facte of the Kubiak case, and after the first glimpse, they are satisfied that the Milwaukee youth has the goods.

Hard Hitting Pug. Kubiak is not known out side' of his home state. Wisconsin. He en tered the. professional game little more than a year ago fighting in and around Pulaski.

his birth place. It didn't take long for the big boys to find him out and Bob Moha; Wilwaiikee manager and promoter, picked binfup and gave him a chance in the big city. That was about- seven months ago. NIIe is now a head liner and boasts of a string of kayos. Jimmy Delaney, the boy who almost put Paul Berlenbach to sleep in the opening card at the new Madison Square Garden, has nothing but praise for the Pulaski slugger.

Kubiak was De-ianej-s sparring partner some time ago when he. was preparing for a battle with Young Striblihg. He worked with him only once and got a. new punching bag. According to the story told bv Milwaukee bugs who watched the pair go, Delaney had enough in two rounds.

Kubiak hit him with every thing bnt the water bucket and had him dazed at the end of the second 3 minute period. 16 ounce gloves were used but Kubiak put such force behind his blows that.Delanev was more than glad to quit- He had intended going four rounds with the Pulaski Thunderbolt-Given Good Rating. Manning Vanghan, Milwaukee sports writer had the following to say recommending Kubiak to Legion promoters: "One of the most promising youngsters I have seen hcre-abouts several months is Al Kubiak. the 'Polish puncher of Kubiak. who came here unheralded several months ago.

pops his punches with that straight, snappy motion which characterized the deadly hitter. He wastes little motion but shoots his blows true to the mark. He is still a bit shy on defense, holding his chin so high that it offers a readr target for an opponent's gloves. When he learns how to fight from a crouch he will be a lough felloe-Jo beat." Shuffle Callahan, ihe Muscatine terror -who is matched with Eddie Speers of Chicago in tic six round semiwindnp. arrived in Davenport today for a workout.

He plans on staying here until the right Fridav ad will work out at the Legion cym. Malcor and Kubiak will jjdso )c in the city in time to let the fans see them'work. -j Van Deusen Is High Point Man 3 on Iowa Quint Jowa Cily. la- la Choree irruwn. qar Hawu-f-y.

Barry has a right to be tickled over the record of his quintet. It was a sight for sore eyes, fpr the ship five which Sam turned out in his first season as Iowa, The Old Gold team outshone all expectations in handing Wabajb a. beating, and unless the men fall prey to overconfidence. they should make their way up the ladder in the Big' Ten race.

2. -Meet Notre Dame. With Mike Xylkos. one of the greatest, basketball players in recent years, playing for Notre Dame, the Hawkeyes will strike one of the hardest teams on their schedule this year. The Notre.

Dame outfit was off to an early start, and it would not be a disgrace to drop a game to the scintillating Irish. The Iowa quintet gave one of its greatest exhibitions7 of basket shooting against the Little Giants Saturday, making eleven baske out of the first IS throws. Dausen was again the high scorer, with Miller ani Harrison not far behind. Young Harrison played a strong game, against the Hoosiers, show-ing parked" improvement over his from against St. Louis.

Tbe two Iowa has met use practically the same offense employed by conference teams this -and the practice was of great value to the Iowa team. Barry changed his defense for the Wabash attack, dropping back to the old five man defense, which etfectlually stopped the speedy Hoosier cagers. The Iowa defense was airtight and the forwards were able to break away from the man to man defense used by the The Hawkeyes wero forced "to foul often stop, the elnsive Wabash forwards who wero continually threatening.
