Champs in Sneakers
On Chicago's frozen Comiskey Park field, the National (pro football) League's championship was played out in sneakers instead of cleated shoes. The Chicago Cardinals ran wild in them. Halfback Elmer Angsman (ex-Notre Dame) ripped off two touchdown runs of 70 yds.; Halfback Charlie Trippi (ex-Georgia) went 44 and 75 yds. The underdog Philadelphia Eagles did some cavorting, too, but not enough. The score: Cardinals 28, Eagles 21.
