Bears Smash All Scoring
Records in 73-O Victory
Redskins Routed
In PIayoff for
Pro Grid Title


! (UP)-For one cyclonic af,
ternoon. the Chicago Bears
the mastodons of the midwest
were the greatest collection
of football players ever assembled.
Striking with a savage and relent-
less attack that crushed the once
powerful Washington Redskins as a
sledge-hammer would an eggshell,
the Bears yesterday captured the
worlds professional title by the score
of $50.
ed the powerful Washington
Redskins as a sledge-hammer would
an eggshell, the Bears yesterday
captured the worlds professional
title by the score of 1910.
1t was unbelievable yet it hap
pened. Operating at better than a
point -a-minute, the Bears made IL
touchdowns and left the field strewn
with records. 1t was the greatest
score ever run up in playoff of
league games, the most touchdowns
ever scored in any kind of league
competition and possibly the most
crushing defeat ever administered
in a championship game in pro or
college football.
They struck in the first As seconds
and kept up the dizzy pace which
made the Redskins a pitiful memory
of the team which won the eastern
division championship. 1t was a
stunning shock to the Washington
fans who on Nov. II saw the Red
skins beat the Bears, 7-3. In the
end even George Marshall, the Red
skins owner, walked out. He could
MT stand it.
Redskins mistakes helped the
Bears but not even time and tide
could have stopped the bruising
giants who charged 68 yards in one
breath-taking run for their first
score, moved 80 yards for their Sec
ond, and smashed AZ yards for their
third in the first u minutes of
play. The 36,034 persons which pack
ed Griffith stadium to capacity were
thunder struck.
Once the Bears had the Redskins
on the run, they never let up. With
vengeance in their hearts, they kept
the heat on for a full 60 minutes.
Some of the Bears said they had
been burned by a remark of Red
skin Owner Marshall about them
having folded up in important
games. Others said they were burn
ed by the bad breaks in their first
game with the Redskins
Sammy Baugh, the Redskins
passing wizard who pitched his
team to the worlds title over the
Bears in 1887, said "it was the most
humiliating thing I ever went thru
on the football field"
Ten men scored the Bears first
10 touchdoWns, and Harry Clark.
West Virginia Rookie made his Sec
ond touchdown and the Bears 1lth
and last. Four touchdowns were
made on runs, three on plunges,
three on pass interruptions and one
on pass.
Bill Osmanski's 69 yard run on
the second play of the game was
to make ones hair stand
on end. Sweeping around Washing
tons right wing, the 197-pound full
back reached the sidelines and ran
the line until he reached the 30.
George Wilson, Bears end, swept
in from the side and cracked down
two Redskins, Justice and johnson.
with one mighty block to let him
go on.
The Redskins lost II yards on
running plays. That's how good the
dig Chicago line was. Their only
threat was in the air, where they
made 217 yards, but gave away three
touchdowns on intercepted passes.
The Bears gained 492 yards from
Scrimmage and many more on inter-
cepted passes

FEDERAL AND PRIVATE DEBT

We still have our calamity howlers who are
predicting dire disaster because of the national
debt When we see published figures showing
the national debt we only see just part OF the
picture To get at all sides we should also see
the present private debt, and compare it with
that of several years ago. While the national
debt has increased, we find that the private debt
decreased.
The National Industrial Conference board has
published the results of survey which shows
that between 1928 and 1929, the era of Republi-
can prosperity" the private long term debts in
the United States increased from 55 billion dol
lars to "a billion dollars. During the pc
Rod, short term debts in the form of loans and
discounts at the banks, increased from 80 billions
to Al billions. The total increase in private debt
according to this survey was $40,000,0 600 dur
ing the period Of Republican prosperity. There
is lot of talk abount debt increases under the
present administration, but the increase in the
public debt since President Roosevelt took office
does not begin to compare with the private debt
burden that the country took under Coolidge
and Hoover up to the time of the 1929 crash.
Since the 1929 crash, the National Industrial Con-
ference board reports, private debt has been re-
duced by % billion dollars While bankruptcies
during the Hoover administration accounted for
a share of this the record shows that improved
conditions under the New Deal and curbs on
frenzied financing such the Securities and Ex-
change Act have brought about big decline in
private Indebtedness.
that the national income has increased from 40
billion dollars year to 70 billion dollars; then
too remember that have 10 billion dollars
worth of tangible usable assets in the form Of
roads, school houses, improved Streets and other
kind of new equipment

NUMBER OF AUTOS IN USE
is ALL-TIME HIGH

According to the Public Roads
Administration the United States in
1899 increased it's number OF motor
vehicles in use by more than q mil
lion eOver the preceding year and
reached an all-time high in automo-
bile registration.
A total of S1,0O9,S70 motor ve-
hicles was registered in 1889, state
agencies reported to the Public
Roads Administration. This includ-
ed 30,615,OS7 private and COM
mercial vehicles, an increase over
1888 of 1,129,407. In addition.
there were 1920 vehicles owned
by the Federal Government and
273,513 owned by state, county and
municipal governments.
Thirty-six of the states reported
an all-time high registration in
1899, and all but one OF them, Me-
braska, reported increases over
1898. The United States averaged

THE PRESIDENT AND NATIONAL
DEFENSE

Some of the Republican candidates for pres-
dent and others, are trying to lay the blame of
Americas unpreparedness for war on President
Roosevelt Let's go back few years and see
what has happened, and where the responsibility
for our inadequate defense should be placed. At
the close of the Wilson administration, and the
advent of the Harding administration the United
States was geared to the strongest navy in the
world. We had ships then nearing completion
that would have made us the preponderant ma
rine power. Then the Harding disarmament
conference of 20 years ago. The world was war
weary and country made no protest against
what was heralded as uniform reduction of
navies that would leave the relative strength of
the naval powers unimpaired.
Now this is what actually happened: We de-
stroyed great units of our strength, while other
parties to the pacts burned mostly blueprints of
battleshps and cruisers. We actually sank,
broke up, $3.50, 100000 worth of war craft and in
cidentally paid costs of S25 100000 for that de-
struction. During the succeeding terms of Cool

GOVERNOR REIMER!

That bright-eyed WadswOrth boy,
William E. Reimer, will know for a
few days how it feels to be chief
executive. True, he will govern only
a Boys State, with some 700 con-
stituents. Nevertheless, he will have
his problems, as will other officers
of the youthful domain at the fair
grounds.
1t will be only a few years until
these boys who are participating in
the American Legion-sponsored
Buckeye Boys State, will be voting
citizens.>~ AS such, they will take
their part in helping to govern Ohio,
either as officers or as good citizens
who elect officers. Adults observ-
ing these boys in action are as
founded at the brilliant leadership
displayed and the grasp they have
of the problems encountered in this
miniature set-up.
The training they are now receiv-
ing will stand them in good stead
when they attain their majority. 1t
will give them an intimate under
standing of the working of govern
ment machinery, a form of knowl-
edce in which many of our citizens,
and even some officials, are la
mentally deficient.
1t would rebound to the advan-
tage of the public in general if ev-
cry boy, before completing high
school, could participate in the gov
ernmental activities of Boys
State. 1t is a streamlined course in
the finest American citizenship and
is a youth movement which has the
upbuilding rather than the de-
struction Of democracy as it's chief
purpose-Ohio State Journal.

place are attending Boys State" at

RARE ACCIDENTS

Unusual was an accident that Oc-
Cured on Route 62 near Johnstown
in Licking county.
A cabin monoplane, enroute from
Buffalo, N. Y, to Columbus, made a
forced landing on the highway when
the pilot became lost due to poor
visibility and low gas supply. At
ter grounding, the airplane TAXED
on the highway until striking cul-
vert at the intersection of Route 81
and Licking county road 13.
Neither the pilot or the single
passenger was injured but damage
to the plane approximated $4,000.
Miraculous was the escape of a
motorist in an accident on Route
|43, seven miles south of Canton
The car crashed into and broke
eight concrete poles as we'll as tore
down about so feet of guard-rail.
Apparently unscathed, the driver
disentangled himself from the
wreckage and started to walk UP
the highway. He had walked ap-
proximately 1000 feet-when he
was struck by another car and ia
tally injured!

NEWSPAPER VALUE INCLUDES
TONIC EFFECT

Our conception of the functions
of newspaper properly mindful of
it's mission always has included
these as Indispensable:
It must serve it's readers and its
community by vigilantly safeguard
ing their rights and promoting their
welfare; it must faithfully mirror
the events of the times; it must
fearlessly express editorial opln-
ions; it must provide measure Of
entertaining features as sort OF
leaven for the serious stuff of which
life mostly is made in this far from
perfect world.
Conscientiously and capably COM
bining these things in it's finished
product, any newspaper makes it
self worth far more than the two or
three cents for which it may be sold
at retail.
Comes now DR.. William Lyon
Phelps, eminent professor emeritus
of the Yale university English de-
partment, to attest that the we'll
conducted newspaper possesses still
another virtue that gives it even
greater value.
In a commencement address at
Philadelphia s Jefferson Medical col
lege, he put it thus:
THE two or three cents invested
in a newspaper purchase is one OF
the greatest aids to vitality we have.
The more We are interested in
things beyond ourselves, the better
we can combat dependency and
trouble and the longer we live
To serve as a tonic, promoting
longevity, is an additional contri-
button to the public good, putting
editors in competition with the ap-
plea-day that is reputed to keep the
doctor away. And all the editorial
colleagues we know certainly will be
glad to take bow in acknowledge
ment of the pliment.--Colu
