Takes No Money

The Layden decision resulted
from the fact both Jones and
Graham are under contract 10
play next season with the Cleve-
land entry In the All-Amerlca
Football Conference.
However, Jones. unlike some
OF the others already signed for
the new conference, definitely
declares he has NOT taken any
advance money.
More than that. Jones was
scheduled 10 appear before Com
missioner Lsyden today and lee
IL be known that he will play
with the Chicago Bears next
season 10 the National League
representative VIII top his con-
tract with Cleveland.
The Bears fully expect under
such circumstances that Layden
will reverse his field (and he
seems 10 be quite an artist these
days AT this maneuver) and
okay Jones for the Green Bay
tilt.
1t should be the whole
hearted hope of the Detroit
Lions and their hackers that
this comes about. With Jones in
the lineup, Chicago would have
an excellent chance of upsetting
Don Hutson and Green Bay.
Jones, just out Of the marines,
weigh 1873. passes and punts.
But his main forte II running
and II Is no secret that his last
minute ban upset entirely the
Bears offense for the Lions.
Jones. NOT Luckman, was to
have been the key man Of the
Chicago teams touch hdow
hopes.

Franks, Tom
Back in Glass
BY EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 30-Three
Michigan gridders who wrote one
of the most glorious pages IN the
sport history of the university on
Ia sunny October afternoon In
1912 are all back on the campus
as the new SchooL-term starts.
Tom Kuzma, Julius Franks and
Don Robinson were outstanding
performers in Michigan's 1920
victory over a highly rated Notre
Dame team that afternoon. All
three appeared destined for star
dom in Michigan'S football history
but fate. ruled otherwise and II
was the last season for all of
them.
Kuzma went into the army and
after a siege OF sickness was dis
covered to have a lung ailment
and sent 10 the university hos
pital. julius Franks suffered a rib
injury in the all-star game the
next fall and a routine X-ray eX-
animation disclosed he too had a
lung ailment and he was gwen a
bed in the same room with his
teammate.

Jones May Join

BY BOB MURPHY
sports Editor

There is very good chance
Edgar Especial Delivery Jones,
who was banned from play in
Sundays Bear-Lion game at
Briggs Stadium may show up in
the lineup of the Chicago team
against the Green Bay Packers
this weekend.
The whole matter, so this COR
ner has learned, has been tossed
into the lap Of Elmer Eayden.
commissioner of the National Pro-
fessional Football League.
1t was Layden who okayed
Jones signing with the Bears this
season. Nothing was considered
wrong with his appearance against
the Cleveland Rams. But when
Fred Mandel of the Lions reg.
istered complaint because Jones
could play with the Bears, and
Otto Graham. formerly Of North
western, could not play with the
Lions this season, Layden called
Jones and Bear officials before
him at the last minute and ruled
out Special Delivery.

Gridders Shoes
Real Problem

When Father Flanagan returns
to Omaha following the annual
charity game between Boys Town
and Catholic Central in Briggs
Stadium Nov. 4, he might take
along two of the local lads to help
stamp out Nebraska forest fires.
Don La Benda and Vino Gordon
of Catholic Central both wear size
u shoes and for a time Coach Hal
Shields thought they might have
TO play IN their stocking feet.
Stores were secured and factories
throughout the country solicited
without avail.
Finally the athletic department
at the University of Michigan
came 10 their aid when shoes of
the proper size were drcdged out
of the reserve stocks at Ann
Arbor.

DON IN AIR CORPS

Don Robinson went into the air
corps and as a pilot served several
years in Italy. His only injury vas
to knee suffered in a Softball
game. He saw plenty of fighting
in Italy and once was forced TO
"hit the silk" landing safely.
Football is over for kuZma and
Franks. Robinson, however, be-
Iicves he'll be available for action
against Minnesota Saturday after
noon. He has been working out
with the Wolverines for several
weeks and although his knee in
