Of the Giants, won the toss.
Needing only a tie three weeks
ago to clinch the eastern cham

Phil-Pitt Steagles, lost last week to
the Giants 1910 in a game that
started rumors of gambling in pro-

score that the Giants will undoubt-

East against the western Champion
Chicago Bears in Chicago. Decem-

The two teams battled through a
scoreless first period Yesterday be-

The Giant offense started rolling
midway through the second period.
Frank Cope blocked a Bauph punt
and Steve Pritko fell on the bail in
the end zone for the first New
York tally. Ward Cuff kicked all

Once this and a half dozen

Senate would adopt the resolu-

The action would place the
Senate on record as notifying

favor: Prosecution Of the war
until complete victory is at
tanned, cooperation with the AL
lies TO secure a Just and honor
able peace, and the establish
ment Of international authority
with power to prevent aggres-

To this was added, as an aft
ermath OF the Moscow four
power agreement, the statement
that the Senate recognizes the
necessity of forming an interna-
tional organization for the main
tenance of peace, but wants
American participation scaled
only by treaty properly ratified
by two-thirds of its members.
The resulting document would
stand merely as an expression
of Sen e opinion, requiring
