dence Steam Rollers, to 6, today In
Boston's first professional football

not exceed 10000.
Grange appeared tired and listless
and when he retired from the game,
after playing exactly A minutes, he
was booed by few hundred of spec
tators. The now wealthy Wheaton
ice man played safety first football
during his stay in the game.
He carried the ball but five times,
all on end runs, for total yardage
of IS. He ran the single punt he
caught back eight yards, attempted
three forward passes, one of which
was intercepted, and made two I'M
impressive tackles. This action did
not take more than four minutes of
his time. During the remaining 20
minutes of his stay in the game,
Grange stood back beside the defen
sive quarterback, far from the scrim-
mage line.
Oranges teammates were outplay-
ed, outfought and out thought by the
powerful Steam Rollers, a team com
posed of former eastern college stars
with the exception of Miller and
Crowley, two OF Notre Danes famous
-four horsemen" Of 1924. ICY" Went
worth, former New Hampshire Uni
versity halfback, who played left
halfback for the Steam Rollers, was
the most impressive performer on
the field.
The Providence professionals scor-
ed early in the first period when Ma
1oney, a Steam Roller end. fell on a
blocked punt which rolled over the
goal line for safety. Just before
the half ended Garvey recovered a
bad pass on the Bears 3O-yard line
and racd through the entire Chicago
team, behind exceptional interfer-
ence, for touchdown. Mahoney
kicked the ninth point for the Steam
Rollers.
The lone Chicago score came in the
final period when Bryon, who re-
placed Grange at the end Of the third
quarter, caught forward pass
thrown by Britton and raced 90 yards
to cross the Steam Rollers goal line.
Sternaman failed to kick the extra
point.
After the game Oranges team
mates hustled into their street
clothes and raced to the Back Bay
station to board the sos P. NJ. train
for Pittsburgh where the Bears are
booked to play tomorrow.

by the Bears since Grange joined the
professionals in Chicago on Thanks
