McShane, a Chicago man, directed
q communication to The Argus
shortly after the Rock ISland-Stal-
ey game i'm that city, in November,
In which he uttered high praise for
the showing of the Islanders and
expressed conviction that the Stall

turn game was granted. He said he
had often heard of the Independents
and was pleased with their display
of football ability. Evidently Nc
Shane is a genuine fan when it
comes to professional football, for
he now comes to bat with the fol-
lowing clipped from Malcolm dc
Leans column In the Chicago Post:
Dear Mac: No doubt you will
agree that there have been
some wonderful pro games this
fall, which gave the sport low
ers a chance to see some men

Mclean, who produces a daily
column Of comment on sports and

ing:
While on the topic of pro-
football, We might say we rare

rooters, even among the col

were about $50 of them on a

With them came their famous

Bright-colored mackinaw coats,
heavy wooden stockings, boots,

horse, saying he wanted to make trip
to some nearby ranch. 1t was later
discovered that Sheehorn had made

as change. When this became known
it was learned the checks were not JUS

Hinkle IS horse.

that he would make his way to thai
community, but officers who have beer
