Overhanging Bow No Handicap.

Overhanging Bow No Handicap.
DOUBTS had been expressed about
- Endeavour's long overhanging
bow, but although it did often
dive into the unruly sea, it could not
be said she was unhappier about it
than Rainbow.
Most observers feel that, due to the
short period of training Endeavour' S
crew has had, that handicap is more
likely to work against her on the
triangular than the windward-leeward
course. The triangular course means
more sail shifting and thus furnishes
more possibility for error.
The start also remains a pronounced
hazard for the challenger, for Wander
bilt has knack of getting away with
the signal in better order than any
other living amateur skipper, not ex
cepting Charles Francis Adams, for

With opening honors tucked

the Giants were a football team

1t was just nine years ago

ter afternoon that fellow they
called The Wheaton Ice Man"
lugged the bacon home. There
we're 10000 screaming hero
worshipers there that day to
see the "Ice Man" do his grid
iron dance and the number he
wore on his jersey was "77."
Now there was a fellow on the
Chicago bench at yesterdays
gamee with a "77" on the jer.
sey. But l do not think it was
the same guy. All through the
long, cold afternoon he sat there
muffled in a hooded sweater and
blanket while time ran out on
the last football game for which
he will never don a uniform.
Only occasionally did he stir,
and then only to pull his green
blanket about him, or to stamp
his feet to keep the circulation
going. The fellow I saw wear
ing that "77" in 1925 thought a
blanket was something you slept
under nights, if, indeed. you had
time to waste in sleep.
Dramatic Entrance
They had planned a dramatic
entrance and a short bit in the
play for him yesterday, but they
never got that far with the
script. AS Coach George Halas
had planned it, old "77" was go
ing to the football wars one
more time.
The one-time sliding ghost Of
the prairies was to carry his
name and number out there for
a hail and farewell in the clos"
ing period with the Bears on
top, and go down under his last
whistle with a winning team.
But the Giants stuck too
quickly in that final period. At
first Halas was playing to save
his ball game with the best
weapons he had, and them it
was too late and the cause Of
the Bears was a lost cause.
It would have been an anti
climax to a great career and an
insult to his reputation to send
him in after we were licked"
said Halas afterward.
So the short winter twilight
sifted down over Coogan's Bluff,
a frenzied football crowd
Streamed oout of the stands and
up the sidelines, the lights came
on over the press box, the goal
posts trembled at the first as
sault of jubilant rooters-and
Red Grange sat wrapped in the
blanket on the bench and called
it a playing career.
So long, Red, good luck.
