HERE'S CHANCE
TO PLAY SANTA

On Thursday evening, when the
Heurich Brewers take on the Troy

Gymnasium, Twenty-sixth and D

fans will have a chance to play
Santa Claus. Part of the proceeds
of the game will go to the Herald

Sponsor Chris Heurich, jr.
In addition, two huge Santa
Claus barrels will be placed at the
entrance to the gymnasium to re-
ceive your toy or doll contribution.
Your donation does not have to
be new, for secondhand toys in
good condition will bring just as
much joy to the hearts of under
privileged children, who without
your contribution might go with
out a present at Yuletide.
Playing intercollegiate rules for
the first time this season, the
Heurich Brewers yesterday were
defeated As to SO in an overtime

Mickey Schonfeld, Heurich Scor-

American League games Schonfeld
has scored 40 points. an amazing
average of 1925 points per con-
test. Schonfeld is conceded an
excellent opportunity of overhaul

Indians will add zest to this meet
ing in the Waldorf. 1t is certain
that Rick Terrell will be shifted
along to some other club. Rick
has developed brittle hands and
no longer can grab foul tips the
way he used to. But he has GER
tain holds on the Washington
club. He is the only man who
can catch Dutch Leonard. And
he is smart enough to aid the
young pitchers, around whom the
hurting corps will be built.
There is talk of frankie Pytlak
coming here. Pytlak is in pretty
much the same category as Fer
rell. He was a ranking catcher
not so long ago. He still is rug
ged; so rugged that Oscar Witt
calls him Scrap Iron," which ade-
quately describes him.
AS for the pitchers, with the
exception of Krakauskas, whom
the Yankees seek; Chase and
Leonard, you can trade them in
bales and never miss them. They
are in-and-out performers, in at
the start out, out quickly; too
quickly to be of any value.

assist on the play and the apes
get credit for the put-out. The
only thing missing from the con-
test was blackjacks and lead
pipe.
The results show they didn't
need the blackjackS. And the
lead pipe would have bent.
On the altruiStic side, there
were 3O8 yards gained by for
ward chucks. And that makes
. very artistic game if you like
your eggs on the fly. Only 279
yards were manipulated on the
turf. But every yard is equiva-
lent to a mile in a forest fire

$5O4 TO EACH PLAYER
No sophomore trying for a spot
on alma mammy's varsity ever
gave himself more Fundamentally
to the business at hand than the
Giants and Packers. They risked
permanent disqualification for a
grand total of $5O4 that went to
each of the winners and 1869 each
for the losers, as the players play
off slice.
While the fourth period was the
most vicious, it was the only one
In which no score were made. Ar
irving at this stage, the Giants
were bent simply upon protecting
their lead and fought successfully
TO that end, Staving off every bid
OF the powerful Western division
title-holders.
The latter, idle for three weeks
since their last league game. were
slow in getting started, finally got
their attack into high to come
from behind and snatch the lead,
then wilted and were being badly
battered, but desperately still try
ing with prayerful passes at the
finish.
Through it all, the Packers had
a distinct edge in virtually every
department, except punting-and
scoring. They made IA first downs
10 ten, 1854 yards ruShing to d
hundred and fifteen, 214 yards on
passes to 10 and played a game
that would win a majority of
starts. The difference was in the
whole Giant line, especially at
center, where Mel Helm celebrated
pre-game receipt of a most valu.
able player award, and on the
TANKS, manned by Jim Poole and
Jim Lee Howell.

which point fluffy Leemans broke

t through tackle that gave the
Giants touchdown and a 9 to O

In the next period, Tiny Enge-
bretSen intercepted a giant pass
in midfield and this was turned
into Green Bay touchdown fl
nally when Arm Herber floated a
39-yard aerial to Carl Mulleneaux
who was standing under the cross
bar. EngebretSen booted the extra
point to leave the Packers trailing
by 8 to 7, at which stage the
Giants opened up with some

HIGHLIGHT OF GAME


HIGHLIGHT OF GAME
If there was a highlight to the
game, then it must have been Lee
mans four straigh thrusts
through the Packers. For sheer
ball-carrying, elusiveness, and ire
mendous power, Leemans' display
Eemainde unsurpassed.
There is, however, a story be-
hind the play of fluffy Leemans.
He was-and beyond any question
the Giants outstanding b a C k.
He played less than any of the So
called regular backs-yet piled up
a hundred more yards than any
Giant back over the span of the
season. This is. in spite of the
fact that he did the majority of
his ball-carrying when the Giants
were in scoring territory. In short,
Leemans piled up his yardage the
hardest way.
Anyhow. LeemanS was the VIC
tim of a feud between coach and
player. Steve Owen, the Giant
coach, and Leemans have been at
odds throughout the year over a
misunderstanding which had to do
with one of the Giants early-sea-
son games. Leemans then, has
been used sparingly; used as sort
of a trouble-shooter throughout
the season. When the Giants were
backed to their own goal and a
great defensive back was needed,
then and only then was Leemans
showed into action. When the
Giants moved into enemy territory
and a reliable ball carrier was
needed. then and only then was
Leemans called upon.
STAR OF STARS
Leemans led New York to three
important victories. The Giants
first victory over the Packers was
a one-man job by Leemans, whose
perfect open-field galloping car
ried him IS yards to a touchdown
over superior-that day, at least
Packer aggregation.
However, when it came time for
the boys to scratch off their all
pro selection, Leemans was lost in
the shuttle. Danowski. a good
paSser. was named rather than
Leemans upon a few allteams.
But it SINNERS down to this:
There never was championship
football team that didn't have at
least one great ball carrier; one
great back who could be depended
upon when the going was at it's
worst. That back must be, simply
has to be, Leemans.
The Washington times., 1938-12-12

Bugs Baer politics or fl
nance, the Giants were out
rushed, outgained and out
passed. They were also out
fumbled. But they were not
outraged.
It was a game of vibrating
behemoths against fermenting
gollaths. Every man on the
field was six feet tall. three feet
wide and a yard thick. There
was every kind of official on the
turf except the one they needed
most. And that was a knock
down time-keeper.
