Fall OF Ellsworth Vines Hurt:
Professional Players Are

BY JIMMIE DONAHUE

This year will go down in tennis
annals as the dreariest In q decade In
the United States.
First came the fall Of Ellsworth
Vines who last year was hailed as the
Winder Of the age. With Vines slump
came the fadeout of American Davis
Cup forces, rout Of the Americans by
foreign invaders in the United States
national singles tournament at For.
est Hills and the squabble between
some amateurs andthe U. S. Lawn
Tennis Association.
In contrast to this sad state of az
fairs in the amateur ranks, there was
rejoicing among followers of Bill TIL
den's pro troupe which, in addition
to playing to larger gates, enlisted the
services Of Vines at the end Of the
year, and brought about the enroll
ment of Henri Cochet, the old mas
ter OF the French amateurs.
X X X
The year started out handsomely
for Gregory s. Mangin of Newark, N
j.. when he annexed his second sue
cessive national indoor tennis title
by turning back Cliff Suffer of New
Orleans, in five torried sets at New
York. Mangin, by his performance
on the boards, was hailed as pos
sible Davis Cup player, but he was
forgotten when the choices were made
possible because he is known to be
better on the boards than on clay or
grass.
The Davis Cup squad, when finally
selected by the tennis fathers, was

Bronko Nagurski, Jack Manders
and Bill Hewitt Big Shots
in Attack

Chicago, Dec. l8-(P)-Professional
football was back in its winter haunts
Monday with the Chicago Bears
champions.
In what probably was the most
spectacular game Of the year, collegi-
ate or professional, the Bears con-
quered the mighty New York Giants,

Wrigley Field Sunday to retain the
championship they won year ago.
The game was brilliant display Of
offensive power and the $4,000 chilled
spectators hardly knew from one min
ute to the next when either team
would break out with q scoring play.
The lead changed no less than six
times and the Bears had to produce
one of their famous last period rallies
to snatch victory out OF the air. With
less than three minutes to play, the
Bears, trailing 2l-16, opened up with
a dazzling shower Of forward passes
to score the winning touchdown.
The play saw Bronko Nagurski,
once q terror as a fullback for Min
nesota. shoot long pass to Bill Hew-
lit, one-time Michigan end. Hewitt,
after spear!ng the pass and running
10 yards Gown the field, hurled the
ball laterally to Bill Kerr, who scored.
Jack Manders. another former Min
nesota fullback, with Nagurski, were
the yeomen Of the Bear attack. Man
ders, in fact. kicked three field goals
TO keep the Bears in the ball game
during the first three periods. He
gave the Bears a 80 lead in the first
quarter with 20-yard placekick. In
the second. he kicked one from about
20 yards out to make 1t 60. and split
the uprights with another In the third
70 put his team back In the lead. He
finished up by kicking for the extra
point after the final touchdown.
Harry Newman, Michigan's ALL
American quarterback In 1882, arose
to heights in the game and his passes
alone almost defeated the Bears.
Nagurski fired pass to Karr to
give the Bears the lead again late In
the third period, but the margin didn't
last long. The first play Of the final
period was Giant touchdown.
