Pro Title Clash Today
, -
the Philadelphia Eagles for the National football league champion
ship in snow-swept Comlskey park tomorrow, ending the longest
season in leagae history.
For the game, which probably will attract 88,908 to 48,809
spectators, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the lew SO's
were predicted. The kickoff will be at 1:95 pjn. (CST).
The odds favoring the Cardinals, twice triumphant ever the
Eagles this season, settled at 12 points tonight This mar gin comes
from the fact that the Cardinals defeated their opponents, 88 to 21,
in a pre-season exhibition game, and then walloped thesn, 45 to
21, daring the regular leagae play.
Tomorrow's battle marks the first appearance of both teams In
the championship playoffs. The Cardinals won their Initial western
division title by upsetting their rival Chicago Bears, while the
Eagles qualified by crashing Pittsburgh last Sunday In the east's
divisional playoff. .
