Eagles Seeking Initial
PRO Football Crown
AGAINST Cardinals
BY the Assoeioisd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The Chicago
Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles,
who in the past have been a pair Of
mere "also rams" in the struggle for
pro gridiron supremacy, crash In
Comiskey Park Sunday for the Ma
tional Football Leagues grand prize,
the national championship.
The Eagles have never won .
league crown and the Cardinals
first and only such pennant was
scored when the sport was still .
pup in 1925.
In league generally dominated
by such outfits as the Chicago Bears.
Green Bay Packers, New York Gi-
ants, Washington Redskins and 9TH
ers, the coming of age Of these two
outsiders" brings welcome respite
in the run-o -the-mill finishes. The
Eagles finally made the big show
after being runner-up in the East
ern bracket three successive years.
Advance Sale Heavy.
Ray Bennigsen, Cardinals presi-
dent, said today the advance ticket
sale for the title engagement already
has reached 100000. A crowd Of
about 10000 is anticipated. The Diff
ference between the winners and
losers share will figure about $500
per man.
The Cardinals, who romped over
the Bears twice this year to gain the
Western Division diadem and thus
qualified to tangle with the Eastern
winners, will be backed strongly to
capture the grand finale. They have
disposed of the Eagles each time
in two meetings this season-38-21
in a Buffalo exhibition September
and 1921 in a league contest De-
cember 7. Furthermore, they punc-
tuated the triumphs by restricting
the Eagles running demon, Steve
Van Buren,, to a total Of 10 yards.
Stevie went wild against most
other teams to set league ground
gaining record Of 1000 yards.
The Cardinals, who will practice
daily, including Christmas, have
frightened up their defense to try
and corral Van Buren again. During
the Eagles 21-0 rout Of Pittsburgh
Sunday, Coach Jimmy Councilman,
three assistants and Quarterbacks
Paul Christman and Ray Mallouf
secuted the game en- masse.
Keep Playing II Tied.
conzelman's opinion Of the Eagles
is stereotyped: ...
mo doubt about it. that they're
the class Of the East" he said.
They are rough and tough and
will be hard to stop. But I'm sure
we'll be up for this one"
The two teams have met only
seven times in league play since
1885. Each has won three games
and the other contest was tied to
produce an absolute standoff in the
series. Sundays showdown will
start at l pm, CTS. and continue
until winner Is declared. If there
is q deadlock at the end of the
regulation game. the teams will play
under the sudden death" rule with
the first to score being the winner.
In IA national championship play
offs since the East-West brackets
were formed in 1888, the Western
Division has won 10 and the East
only four. The only Eastern en-.
tries to come through were the
Giants and Redskins, with two titles
apiece. The Western clubs have
won the last four pennants-the
Bears in 1943 and 1916, Green Bay
in 1914 and the Cleveland Rams
(now Los Angeles RAMS in 1945.

Colored Home
Burns Tuesday

A fire Tuesday night which
sent a 14-year-old colored girl run
ming from her burning home in
her night clothes, completely de-
stroyed one building, Quilted anoth-
er, and scorched the side of a
third. The houses were located in
the Bottom, Tabor City colored
community.
The ruined house was rented by
William Jackson who was spen-
ding the evening with friends a
! few doors away. Alone in the
house was his daughter, Ethel
Mae, who had retired. Awaken
by the heat of the flames, the girl
I wearing her sleeping clothes, es-
capped through the back door.
Cause of the fire which deves-
tated the three-room house, was
undetermined. Williams said there
was no fire in the stove and that
he had turned the kerosene lamp
down before going out.
The fire was sighted by neigh
bors at approximately 1890 p. m.
Within half an hour, the Williams
home crumbled before the 500
persoss who watched the Tabor
CITY volunteer fire department
| fight the blaze. Volunteers bait
led the fire until midnight.
Nothing was salvaged from the
ruined home. Williams said, be-
sides his furniture and clothing, ne
lost a fresh stock of groceries and
$50 in cash.
Moderate north winds blew the
flames to the adjacent home OF
MIR. and Mrs. Joe Johnson, colored;
The roof was badly damaged and
the inside of the house Quilted by
flames and water from the fire
department hose. The JohnSonS
were able to save many OF their
personal belongings though much
was ruined and the house will
need thorough reconstruction.
During the blaze, volunteer
workers poured distinguished 1luld
and water upon the side wall OF
the Chestnut home, Immediately
south of the Jackson residence.
This and the air currents protec-
ted the Chestnut home from serl-
Gus damage. :
Owner of the three houses is
Mrs Sarah Green. Mrs. Green
said the value of the homes, in,
GLIDING improvement work added
since their construction, was ap-
proximately $3.50 each. Built by
her late husband and maintained
bv her since his death, Mrs. Green
said she would have the houses
rebuilt for the tenants.
