Expects to Continue
Grange expects to continue with his
team to Detroit today, where he will
consult a physician and his partici-
patton in the game there depends on
the doctors orders. After 9to-6 beat
ing at the hands of the Providence
SteamrollerS in Boston Wednesday,
the Bears underwent the most crush
ing defeat of their journey so far,
when big Andy Gustafson, Pittsburgh
University fullback this year, led his
eleven to a 24-to-0 verdict.
Grange was inclined to make light
of injuries, insisting that an old hurt
| had required and that he would be
able to play through the stiff schedule
that has been set for him.
| A Champaign, H., bank reported
that the much discussed 5000. 900 check
had arrived there and that it was sign
ed by DR.. w. r. Shalenberger Of the
Arrow Pictures Corporation. 1t was
| also stated that checks for Red were
| being received in almost every mail.
The halfback has sent 81 900 to his
father as first payment on the cost
Of his college education and 500 to
his brother as birthday present.
Pa Grange insists that he does not
| want the new home that Harold
| promises to give him.
Dissension Alleged.
The Boston Herald says that
Oranges disappointing showing in
that city Wednesday can be attributed
to dissension among the players of
his own team, apparently jealous over
| the fame that has come to their team
mate.
| And George AIDE remarked in Wash
| ington that Reds accomplishments in
recent games vindicate college foot
ball as against professionalism. AIDE
asserted that "Grange's disappointing
performances as professional are
turning the public against that va
riety of foot ball rapidly. Impatient
promoters are killing the goose that
lays the golden egg
