On many other occa-
sions Chicken tore through the line
and played one Of the best defen-
sive games Of the day. He proved
the islanders best short-distance
gamer, and seemed to be going
straight down the field for touch
down in the fourth quarter when
he had to leave the game with a
wrenched knee.
Healey ut His Best.
The playing of Eddie Healey at
right tackle almost made the fans
glow with qualification. for the for
mer Dartmouth star played circles
around the highly touted Ingwer-
son, whom he pushed out Of almost
every play directed Vt the Island
ers' right wing. The fact that
Healey made good with such a VEN
geance was gratifying to tri-city
fans, who maintained their faith
that he would prove his merit when
given good chance. Yesterday he
made one of Walter Camps ALI
American tackles look like school
bo, in comparison.
Weber, the newcomer at left
end, showed some Of the best punt
ing and defensive playing of the
season. Weber punted eight times
for an average OF AZ yards. Con-
zelman. his kicking rival. booted
nine punts for an average Of a
fraction more than AZ yards. Web
Der displayed the GOODNESS OF a
seasoned player and demonstrated
his versatility in running the ends
from punt or pass formation. The
way he circumvented some of
George Halas' craftiest deceptive
tricks was enough to earn him a
warm spot in the hearts Of tri-city
fans.

ti2l gains. At other times there
were no scoring possibilities in the
game, save for the breathless mo.
ment when Chicken stopped Con-
zelman in the open field. The
