| Memphis Tigers were fooled for a
;wh)lv until .a 24 to 7 score was

Very little time was recorded for
Ken Strong who was taken out,
due to a leg injury. Before he was
taken out, however, he got off one
or more fine Kkicks. The Tigers
found themselves up against it
Sunday with a powerful line con
fronting them and a fleety back
field galloping over them. St. Louis
scored twice in the first period and
once 1 neach of the final quarters.
Tigers 50 Yard Run and Spoil
Near the end of the half the Ti
gers ha dthe oval taken from them
on the 1 yard line with a touch
down in sight. In the final quarter
fakie Miller gave the fans a thrill
by receiving from Beavers and
dashing from 50 yards down field
for the Maxellite’s only marker.
Sunday Battle to Be Sensational
Manager Eary Maxwel lof the
Tigers is negotiating with outfits
that are likely to show Harold
