the wesierncrs suffered in the Polo
Grounds Sunday.
In one Of the most bruislng foot
ball games ever played. the Giants
extended their streak of no de-
feats through is games. Six times
in the first three periods the Bears
were stalled inside the New York
30-yard line and they came down
To the last six minutes Of play
trailing. 1910.
With a cyclonlc attack
which had 5s.69s persons
second largest crowd In pro
football histors:--cheering like
maniacs, the Bears swept 20
two toucbdowns that covered
81 and "a yards.
The Giants margin Of victory
was supplied by three field goals
by Ward Cuff, who booted one
from the 43-yard line in the first
period and two tone from the 10
and one from the 24) In the final
period. The Giants lone touch
down resulted from a 63-yard
march in the second period, with
Len Bsrnum smashing ID yards
for the score.
The Giants triumph kept them
at the top of the eastern division
along with the Washington Red
skins, each with four victories and
one tie. The Redskins. scoring two
quick touchdowns in the first
period on passes by Frank Fill
chock, triumphed over the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 2l-is. before 500
at Pittsburgh, the days smallest
crowd.
The aerial minded Green
Bay Packers smashed the
hitherto nn beaten Detroit
Lions, 26-1. before a throng OF
22,559. The triumph enabled
the Packers TO tie the Lions
for the western lead, each with
four wins and one loss. The
Bears are half n game behind,
having lost two games and
won four.
In the other two games the
Cleveland Rams conquered the
Chicago Cardinals. 24-0, before
l0,430 at Chicago and the Brook
lyn Dodgers knocked off the Phila-
delphia Eagles, 23-14, before 13,051
at Brooklyn.

may be forced to drop football
next season unless gate receipts
improve materially. Athletic Direc-

McGrath said returns from

that the institution faced an
other loss of $4,000 this sea-

because of the Bulldogs defeat

About French Furniture
If you've been passing up French
furniture these many years just be-
cause you couldn't trot out trains
and tiaras to live up to it, then tits
high time to dust off your attitudes.
French furniture does lend itself
to elegance, that's true, but it is
equally adaptable to a gracious sim
plicity of living. II you use il with
satin and lace frills, it seems a bit
on the fussy side for most of us.
But if you combine it with more
tailored materials or with chintzes
you'll find that it has quite a diff
ferent personality. Flowing lines, a
graceful poised tranquility, a ira
dition of culture :. if these are
the qualities you want in the furni-
ture you choose, then at least think
twice about French furniture.
AS accent pieces Of French, if it
is not as the main theme of the
room, will add distinction and per-
