REED STARS BUT
DIES MONIES WINS
BOMBERS DEFEATED IN
ARMISTICE CONTEST
BY AT MARGIN

The play of two stellar ends,
Dwight Reed formerly of Mime
sofa ard Homer Harris, former
Iowa Star-both with the Chicago
Brown Bombers and Ullrich, for
mer Grinnell star now with DeS
Moines, featured the pro game
here Friday night in which the
Comets outscored their dusky foes
IA to 7.
Sharing the limelight at times
were PaSSmore of Kentucky State,
Exum of Wisconsin and Simpson
for the Chicago team and Joe
Antonio, Colorado; Bradley of
Grinnell and Rock of Iowa who
helped make up for the absence of
Simmons and Vandever both of
whom were absent because of in
jurieS.
About 1000 fans saw the con-
test, many of them from quite dis
tant points such as Appleton, JEFF
fers, Marshall and many nearer
towns including Renville, Wa
basso, Fairfax, Echo, BelvieW and
Morgan.
Ullrich carried the brunt of the
Des Moines attack, behind the
blocking of the famous Antonio.
The Comets scored in the first
moments of the game after set
ting the stage by blocking a punt
on the Chicago 20 yard line. Ull-
rich and Antonio made first
down, then picked up five on
three plays to overcome a penalty
and Ullrich slashed through for
the counter on the fourth try.
The kick for point was perfect.
Passmore dominated the play
in the next few minutes Keeling
off two first downs after receiv-
ing the kick on the one yard
line and returning to the 80. An
tonic intercepted a pass on Des
Moines 80 yard and they had
moved out to midfield early in
the second period when a tumble
gave the Chicagoans the ball
again. Two fumbles and two bad
punts marred the play of that
period but as the half ended fans
were brought to their feet as Har-
riS, then Simpson and finally
Reed nabbed long passes for gains
of Is, ID and 20 yards. r......-
The drive was broken by the
halftime gun but on the first play
of the second half, after Edwards
had received and returned to the
81, Reed caught a short pass over
the line and eluded the entire
Des Moines backfield in racing 70
yards to score. The count was tied
as the kick zoomed between the
uprights.
Des Moines was in Chicago ter
ritory much of the third period
but the ends wouldn't be circled
ard passes were consistently beat
en- down so the resort was to line
plays and laterals, several of
which made first downs. Chicago
had the best of the kicking game
which helped delay the breaking
of the tie until well into the final
period when Ullrich, after sew
eral nice runs, pushed over from
the five. Again the kick was
square and true.
Chicago received ard took to
the air but the passer couldn't
find the range on five tries in six
plays and Bradley intercepted a
fourth down try, two plays before
the game ended.

COACH WENT TO
HIRE TEAMMATE
BUT CHOSE CUFF

How Ward Cuff of Redwood
Falls broke into pro football was
told Sunday in a story by Quen-
tin Reynolds in This Week Mag
azine, who calls Cuff "the great
est blocking back in these United
States"
The story:
TaDo gears ago Ray BuiUid of
Marquette tDas just about the
cuteSt think I'm football tOggery.
He could run faster than bad
run,or and he could toss a foot
ball through the eye of needle.
All of the oaDners of professional
football clubs had their eyes on
him and their check books in
hand. Tim Mara, gunner of the
NeaD York Giants, asked SteUe
OaUen, his coach, to giUe long
look at Buivid. Marquette aDds
playing Texas Christian that gear
IN the Cotton Bo,Dl classic at Dali
las and Steve hoped a RATHER.
A ,Ueek later he came back full
of enthusiasm to report to Boss
Mara
"That guy is aDonder," SteUe
gurgled. wait till you see him IN
action. He'll make our team meat
gear and Pue got him all wrapped
up for fall delivery."
"Thdt's great, SteUe,' Tim
Mara beamed.-- '.I'll draaD up a
contract right a1ay. But hoD DO
oyo,, cpoU PaI;,,id2s
"BuiUid?" SteUe looked blank.
"Who's talking about Buivid? I'm
talking about Ward Cuff"
"Who," demanded Boss Mara
aoith some beaoilderment, "'s
Ward Cuff" Ill.,
"Cuf," Steue said, sis the man
auho makes those long runs OF
Buivid's possible. Cuff is the
greatest blocker 1 euer sa1. But
did is just a ball carrier. We'Ue
got lots of ball carriers but a1e
haven't any Ward Cuffs. Wait un-
til you see him give body block
or a Observation-Disclosures block
Today the Giants put great de-
pendence on this same Ward Cuff.
The fact that he turned out to be
an excellent placement kicker is
interesting but uninaportant. The
fact that he is perhaps the great
est blocking back in these United
States is lDhat giues the Giants an
edge. The fans sing of Tufey Lee
mans, of Hank Soar, of Ed Dam
oaUSki-but Coach Steve croons
lulldbies about Ward Cuff.
