Coach Buddy Parker of the
Detroit Lions said today that

Chicoeoons End
lO-Yeor Drought
At Lions Expense
BY the Associated Press

It took the Chicago Bears 10
years. six Of them in the runner
up spot. to reclaim the Western
Division championship in the
National Football League. They
ended the long quest yesterday
with a 1921 victory over the
Detroit Lions before a crowd Of
49,086 in Chicago's Wrigley
Field, and now they're looking
forward to their title game with
the New York Giants at Yankee
Stadium December 30.
The Giants had won the East
ern lewiston title Saturday by
beating the Philadelphia Eagles,
pit.
Oddly enough, both the Bears
and Giants last won division
titles in 1916 and their next
meeting will be a rematch Of the
championship game of that
year, won by the Bears, 24-l4.
Yesterdays loss was a heart
breaker for the Lions, who had
roared back from a cellar finish
in 1855 to the top of the Western
Division before they were
smacked down by the Bears. The
Chicagoans finished the season
with a Cpl season mark as
compared to a 90 record for the
Lions.
Cards Beat Browns
In other games yesterday, the
Pittsburgh Steelers surprised the
Washington Redskins, $50; the
Chicago Cardinals defeated the
Cleveland Browns, PAT; San
Francisco rallied to down Balti-
more. BOLT, and Los Angeles
rolled over Green Bay, 1921.
That wrapped up the league
schedule with the exception Of
the Redskins game in Baltimore
Sunday.
The Giants and Bears played
to 17-17 tie in New York Mo-
vember 25.
There's your line on the up
coming championship clash, but
don't take it too seriously. Two
weeks ago in Detroit. the Lions
rolled over the Bears. 42-10. They
were calling yesterdays meeting
a pick EN- game, and the Bears
played like the feared Monsters

once while on offense; the Ed

combination clicked for another

81 (P).-Milton Underwood, of

for $285,00O Rosedown Planta-
ton with its stately 121-year-old
mansion, it was announced yes
terday.
The house, on a 2,000-acre
plantation, was built in 1885 by
Daniel Turnbull.
Mr.. Underwood made the pur-

Misses Sadie, Bella and Nina
Bowman, the last of the family
to live at Rosedown. Miss Nina

granddaughter, died last June at

also handicaps the engine, to
the extent that its effective

must make every maneuver with

At this speed and altitude, anc
