 The figures also indicate c per- feet balance Of attack for th0 Rams. They have gained ?0l yards rushing and exactly the Baire amount passing in games against the Chicago Bears and tho Card Pitt combine.
 Chicago'B Bears, beaten in their first two starts in defense of thsir championship, have been able to average only 2,7 pardS per rush, c figure which indicates fairly con |. elusiVoiy what has happened to the once mighty Chicagoafls. They lead the league last year with an average Of 80 yards per rush.

Eisenhower, Roekne Once !" Put 'Em Up"

General Dwight Eisenhower and Knute Rockne of football fame, fought each other to 6 draw in . boxing match in Eisenhower'S homo town In Kansas. But, declares Mar. win Mueller, Coronet Story Teller, in Q broadcast last night, more than c boxing match took place.
 The little Kansas town buSzod with excitement when Eisenhower and Rockno stepped into the ring, They were cheering for the slender, tewshalfed boy, the athletic pride Of the town, not for the stooky young professional boxer who fought under the ring name of Frankie Brown, The Kansan realized his only chance Co win would Dc to outsgeneral tho pro, but Frankie Brown was fast too, and seemed to have the knack of finding the vulnerable spots, ft was on evenly matched fight, do. claFos the Coronet Story TelleT--And tho match was c draw.
 After the fight was over, Brown walked with Eisenhower to c lunch EUUn WhVEV bhlcy AHa V tSaAh taaA about boxing and college. Brown told Eisenhower he'd 90 far in tho prize ring, but the tow .hoad wasn't 70 easily convinced, NO, I'm not inc tereBtOd in boxing as Q career ft'B Q wonderful sport and . swell con. d!tioner, but the life Of c boxer h short I'm going to college and get on educatlon--So I'll have the whole field to choose from when pick my career"
 The argument lasted until mid. night, but when 1t was finished, it was not tho Kansan who had changed his mind. It was Knute (FTankio Brown) Rockne who des cIded to give up boxing for . cols lego education. And that, concludes the Coronet Story Teller, is how Dwight Eisenhower made football history as he's been making military history.
