-Four new league player records
we're established during the 1885
National Football league season and
marks in all departments Of the
game surpassed 1885 totals accord
ing to individual statistics an
nounced today. The outstanding
individual achievement Of the sea-
son was compiled by Arnold (Flash)
Herber, Green Bay Packers and st.
Regis college, who shattered two
league marks in forward passing as
he practically pitched his team into
the playoh for the world title
against Boston next Sunday In New
York.
Herber's II competitions in 173
losses is the most completed by an
individual during a league season.
These competitions were good for a
total Of 1888 yards which shattered
the old mark Of 963 made by Harry
Newman with the Giants in 1888.
This total is believed to be a record
in the annals Of American football
history.
Standout
The II competitions were more
than completed by any entire team
in the league except one. The 1899
yards gained on the aerials sur
passed the yards gained on passes
by any entire team In the circuit.
Don Hutson, formerly Of Alabama,
caught "a Of Herber's losses for 500
yards thereby giving him two new
league records. The former marks
were 20 catches for 432 yards by
Tod Goodwin Of the Giants in 1895.
Earl (Dutch) Clark, Detroit Lions
and formerly of Colorado college,
was the only individual to retain
his 1885 leadership. His 70 points
topped the scorers and was 10 points
better than his 1885 total. Jack
Manders, Bears, was second with
81 points which was also better
than Clark's 1885 total Of IS. Hut
son was third with 81.
Kn0wf Their Stuff
Tuffy Leemans, New York Giants
recruit from George Washington u,
topped the ground gamers with $50
yards as eight players surpassed the
1895 total OF 400. Ace Gutowsky,
Detroit, was only three yards be-
hind In second with 1927. Dutch
Clark: Cliff Battles, Boston; and
George Grosvenor, Cardinals, fol-
low In order with 1928, 614, and 612
yards. Ernie Cadet, Detroit; Bobby
Wilson, Brooklyn, and Bronko Nag
urski, Bears, also passed last years
totals.
Jack Manders, Bears, and Armand
Niccolai, Pittsburg, tied with seven
field goals each for honors In that
department. This was one more
than kicked by last years leaders.

7l.63 in IS rounds Of golf this year.
Mind you, Guldalnl, in that many
rounds has averaged quite q few
decimal points better than even
fours, and If you are golfer, or
live with a golfer. or have even met
q golfer casually, you know that
fours are harder to acquire than
great riches. Many men stuff and
mount any tours they are lucky
enought to get, and place them In
their trophy rooms In preference to
elephant heads.
Now wouldn't feel so badly If
some golf professional other than
Guldahl had won 1t. But Guldahl
and have 80 much In common, are
so much alike In so many ways, that
I can't quite stomach Mother Nature
giving him all the breaks. Let me
explain:
Guldahl likes three Jumps Of sugar
In his coffee. double feature movies,
and girls with freckles.
So do I.
Guldaf1l does not like shirred eggs,
head-on collisions, or dinner jackets
called tuxedos.
Neither do /.
Guldahl Is sorta fat around the
middle.
So am I.
Guldahl looks funny in a cap -
any kind Of cap.
SO do I.
And there are dozens OF other
similar points. He doesn't like shoes
that hurt, tipsy dinner tables, or
the prices on train dining cars. But
he does like slot machine Jackpots,
wives who can make decent spa
ghetti sauce, and the dapped grey
horse on merry-go-rounds. In all
those matters we see eye to eye.
All right then, why does Mother
Nature, a supposedly buxom old
lady with heart as big as old out
doors - a kindly old cuss from top
to bottom give Guldahl. practic-
ally q twin OF mine, the ability to
shoot such golf, and leave me out
In the cold?
He wins the Radix trophy. I win
the reverse Radix trophy. I know

ICE CONSUMPTION
UP 14H PER CENT
Gains Expected to Continue in
Coming Year, According to
National Association.

CHICAGO, November lice man.
ufacturers' business gains associated
with a 141a per cent increase in
consumption in 1886 are expected to
be continued in 1887, according to
the National Association of Ice In
dustries today.
Sources in the association said cur
rent estimates indicate that one Of
the best years in the industry's his
tory may be expected.
According to Hurley G. Hust of
the association a recent survey showed
that ice, which represents an in
vestment Of more than $1,150, ,000, 900.
Is being used by 80 per cent Of the
refrigerator cars In the country. Last
year these cars consumed a total
of 100000 tons of ice, while more
than 100000 tons were used in pas
senger car cooling and air condi-
tioning.
Ice refrigerator manufacturers, re-
porting a SO per cent rise in the sale
of modern air-conditioned ice re-
frigerators over the preceding year,
have spent more than half q million
dollars on redesigning their 1887
products. According to reports man
ufacturers with displays at the re-
cent convention in New York received
larger orders for immediate shipment
than they have at any time in the
industry's history.
