low of 1884 on that autumn like
day December 81 when the Bears
beat the Eastern champion New
York Giants, 37-9, for the league
title.
The great feats of the year were
done mainly by George Halas' Bears,
who in the first successful title de-
fense by champion scattered rec
ords all over the circuit.
Yet there was Don Hutson Of the
Packers. who broke all scoring marks
and increased his record for passes
caught, and Clarke Hinkle, also of
Green Bay. who set new league
all-time record for ball carrying.
Sure to Be Vast Changes.
And the season was concluded
with the annual draft of senior
college players. Two hundred boys
were selected by 10 teams, but what
chance they will have of playing
next season was question only the
course of the war will tell. Even
numerous players already in the
league are due to join the Nation s
armed forces, and not a team hoped
to return for 1912 with the same
lineup it sported last season.
