Setting forth that the board is a

CARD GRID ACE
BREAKS MARKS

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Gaynell
Tinsley, Chicago Cardinal grid
ace who came into professional
football from Louisiana State,
broke a record yesterday and
equaIled another as the Cardinals
trounced the Cleveland Rams,
31-17.
Tinsley caught a pass thrown
by Doug Russell in the second
quarter for a 98-yard gain to sur
pass the mark Of 81 yards which
he established last year. In addl-
ton, he snagged six other passes
to bring his total catch to Al,
equalling the mark set by Don
Hutson, of Green Bay, last season.
Tinsley's pass catching yester-
day ran the Cards season total
to 112, four more than the record
established by Green Bay in 1885.
While the Louisiana State star
was compiling new records, Frank
Patrick, former Pitt fullback star,
gave a demonstration of kicking
long to be remembered when he
successfully converted the extra
point after the four touchdowns
run by the Cardinals and topped
this off with a 40-yard placement
kick of a field goal.
The game marked the second
triumph of the season for the Chi
cago eleven. Both of these vic
tories were scored at the expense
of the Cleveland team.
