Focus On The Deed

Giant victory over Eagles was largely due to a fine running attack and some crisp blocking, such as 18-yard sprint by Halfback Gifford (16) through a gaping hole opened by Fullback Triplett (33).

Bear victory over Lions was achieved in rough struggle. Detroit hopes dimmed after Quarterback Layne (22), hit from behind by Chicago's Meadows (86), left game with concussion.
