Chicard Club, Long
'StepchiId,' Now
Cutting Capers
Registers Up First Win
Over Lions; Rams
Conquer Eagles
By the Associated Press.

os tlc hSSOCIdlcu fTeSS.
The Chicago Cardinals, long the
stepchild Of Windy City football,
what with the Bears operating in
the same territory, may have some
fun in the National Pro League this
season. With two games under
their belts the Cards are unde-
feated, united, unscored on and
unchallenged for the Western
divisin lead.
The Cards, who last week dealt
the Cleveland Rams TO beating,
yesterday scored their initial VIC
tory in II league games with the
Detroit Lions, 1870, before 14,742
fans at Chicago. It is all rather
refreshing to the Cards, who won
only three games last year.
Schwenk's Passes Click.
Bud Schwenk, the rookie aerial
ace who set college passing records
at Washington University Of st.
Louis, pitched nine yards to Bill
Daddio for the Cards first score
in the third period, then in the
fourth period Schwenk unleashed
a 20-yard touchdown pass to Steve
Lach.
There was nothing wrong with
the Cards defense, either. Detroit
failed to move inside Chicago's
23-yard line and Augio Lio's two
bids for field goals were wide.
Cleveland bounced back to cap
ture a 24-14 decision over the Phil
adelphia Eagles at Akron. End
Johnny Wilson produced two of the
Rams touchdowns, recovering a
blocked punt in the end zone for
one and taking 57-yard pass from
Parker Hall for the other.
Sears Scores on Fumble.
Philadelphia scored on the first
play from scrimmage when Tackle
Vic Sears scooped up a tumble on
the Cleveland 20 and carried it over,
but late in the period Wilson
pounced on Len Barnum's blocked
punt in the end zone.
A 48-yard pass from Jack Jacobs
to Jack Boone presented the Rams
another touchdown and Cleveland
owned TIT halftime lead as Chet
Adams kicked a field goal from the
II. Halls pass to Wilson boosted
the Rams into 24-7 lead in the
third period, the Eagles scoring
their other touchdown in the final
period on 9-yard pass from
Tommy Thompson to Ernie Steel.

All-StarS, a group that defeated the
New York Giants and Brooklyn
Dodgers before being topped, 14-7,
by what is considered the greatest
Of all National Professional League
outfits, the champion Chicago Bears,
yesterday before an overflow crowd
Of $4,000 thrilled spectators at Fen
way Park. The soldiers final game
was their third in the short space of
eight days.
First Half Is Even.
Conditions were unfavorable dur
ing much Of the All-Stars' finale,
but, despite that, they held their
highly touted rivals on even terms
for the first half and then came
on again after the Bears took full
advantage Of one Of their few mis-
cues, which happened in the third
period when Hugh Gallarneau, who
scored both of the Bears touch
downs, intercepted pass and raced
As yards to cross the goal line.
After the Bears pulled into TO
lead on the first OF Tackle Joe Sty-
dahar's placement conversions, the
Army All-Stars bounced right back
with 50-yard drive that ended
with Corpl. Norman Standlee, a
recent Stanford great who was a
Bear last year, smashing over from
the 3-yard line for the tying score.
That successful play ended the
third period, and, it can be said
without any fear of a dispute, the
Au-StarS' chances. AS soon as the
fourth quarter got under way, the
Bears were going to town in rapid
style. Their Ray Noting opened
the finale by taking Standlee's kick
off and returning it to the Soldiers
, 37-yard line, the games outstand-
ing individual effort. But it was
nulliied because one OF his mates
was ruled offside. Then Standlee
kicked again to Chicagos Bill
Geyer, who raced out of his own end
zone to his 25-yard line before be-
ing pulled down. Boston College S

Johnny Siegel, made up most of

touchdown on fourth down and one
yard to 60.
Neyland Praises Soldiers.
When the National Pro League
champions had completed their
triumph over the All-Stars, Col.
Neyland, one of the most successful
coaches in the intercollegiate ranks,
bestowed this accolade on his
players: THE men played very well
and have nothing whatever to be
ashamed Of" he said. This is
particularly true in view of the
fact that we had only three days
in which to prepare for the Bears.
We were unable to practice on one
OF those days. I think the men

Stave Hamas, the old heavyweight
who is teaching Army officers at
Miami how to- box, doesn't try
to make knockout punchers of

should be able to teach the tricks
to enlisted men rather than do
the slugging themselves.

too surprising some day to see
him threaten Jimmy Dykes with
a 15-yard penalty for coming on
the field. That wouldn't be so
bad. but we're waiting to see
what will happen if Charley goes

1t was a putup job and more Of
the same will be appreciated. They
got together when they saw obese
Niccolai jog onto the field, and de-
cided to block the kick. Aldrich said
after the game he had feeling he
was going to do it, but it was nothing
like the feeling experienced by those
guards, Milt Simington and Jack
Sanders, who were caught COM
pletely unaware.

and judging from the applause when
Bill Dudley was introduced 30,759
must have been from Virginia.
Whirling William didn't let them
down even after being injured and
forced from the game early in the
first period.
He went n yards on a naked
reverse, hiding the ball from every
body but Ray Flaherty, who will
take an oath he knew who had it,
and turned his ankle so badly they
had to carry him off the field. When
he ran "a yards for touchdown
