Evening star., 1925-11-19


1T was very windy that day. and we
were fearful of some sort Of a break
against u.s." Red said recently. Se
play Of the Iowa ends has always
been SO effective that it is almost I'M
possible 10 run around them. 1heE
will retreat and do anything TO keep
the ball carrier inside. Illinois did not
attempt to run the ends in thdt same.
Advances came by off-tackle plays,
and my first touchdown was along
thar same route. 1t was for about ~
wards and the second one was Almost
duplicate of the first"
With Iowa out of the way, the pros
pect appeared rosy for victory over
Chicago and a Saunter or the CONFER
ence championship. Yet Zuprke knew
that his lire was not of the best. ana
ne was worried lest some opponent
should discover that detail. STasS had
immediately seen the team weakness
ard had set his plans to surprise the
willy Zuppke.
The result caused Red Grange some
tremendous efforts on the Gridiron
THAT Chicago game was the hiirueSt
afternoons work I've ever done, and
al the end l hardly knew whether |
was coming or going" Red said i'll
telling Of the plays. We kicked utf TO
Chicago and the steam roller started.
Tne NarOonS scored, and We Licked
TO them again. The same process or
rolling through US right down the
field for 4 touchdown was put on. and
the score was Il to In favor Of Chi
cago with the first quarter not yet
over. We hadn't even had the bail in
ou' possession.
Chicago kicked off to US next and
we started an offensive. The ball was
advanced to the Chicago 20-yard line
by end runs and passes. 1 got loose
on A wide end sweep for the first
touchdown The Illinois interference
was working we'll and the whole team
plaved wonderful foot bali to get that
FIRST tally over 1t was certainly
hard work running against Chicago.
The Maroons scored another touch
down by the same driving line attack
and Illinois also got another before
the first half ended. Thus the score
At the half was Il to Il in favor or
Chicago"
Illinois came on the field in desper-
alton in the second half of the game.
A seasons work, the conference
championship and all the prestige of
4 hitherto marvellous season were at
stake. In the third quarter Grange
broke loose for the tying score and
what was perhaps his most remark
able run of the season.
Long Run Ties Score.
We had the ball on the Illinois 20
OF IS ward line and an off-tackle play
was called 20 our left side he said.
II took the ball and the boys in front
opened things up pretty we'll. [ cut
back toward the center of the field
and met several taCklers who either
slipped off me or overran. 1t was
tough going down the field. Finally
I got over the line. I shall always
remember that so yards"
Although tied by Chicago, Grange
was still riding the wave as the great
touchdown maker, and so all eyes
were focused upon the Minnesota
game.
In the first quarter Grange wrig-
led loose at his own left end for so
Yards and a touchdown. He was
badly hurt shortly after and had to
be removed from the game. When
some one asked him if he had been
treated too roughly by Minnesota he
replied: Foot ball is no tea party,
and the breaks of the game have been
kind to me. Today ] was unfortu-
nate. Minnesota was not unduly
rough"
