Harold K<a" Grange, that flaming ghbst of Me gridiron, dropped behind the foot tall horizon today, leading his "Fight. jjjg lllini" to u 11 to 9 victory over Ohio State before 86,500 spectators, rhe greatest throng, with one excep tion, that ever witnessed a football tfamc >rt America^ s Within five minutes after he had galloped off the gridiron, his face Ktill steaming with the heat of battle, fhc famous 22-year-old hero of foot ball heroes told the world what it could expect of him in the near fu ture. jlt? made the definite announce ment that ho would enter the ranks #f professional football, that he would immediately leave th? Univer sity of Illinois and that he would manage and organize his own team. ' Grange made known his plans , for the future as soon as 'he reached his dressing room with at least fifty newspapermen trailing him. He. said his team probably would include Earl Britton, his co-star on the Illinois eleven and one of his shock troops in forming interference, and certain members of the famous Four Horsemen that made football history at Notre Dame a year Ago. Grange's first professional game probably will bo in Chicago dn Thanksgiving day. The red-headed youngster, winding ,jp the moat amazing football career the game has ever known, finds him self in a position to earn a fortune playing professional football, appear r.j,' in moving pictures and engaging ]i other business enterprises.' The contracts under which Grange will tppear in professional games- makes ~t possible for him to earn from $10, rfOu to .SliO.UQO. m every performance^ The stagy setting for Grange's last .ippearance as a college player was a picture tor a master artist t(* con ceive.

The Ohio stadium, a huge double decked horse- ! nhoe affair, was packed from top to bottom and thousands were turned away. . ? It was tho second largest crowd ever to witness a football game in America and perhaps th6 largest in point of paid. admissions. The largest was at Berkeley, Cali fornia, a year ago, when it was claim ed that 90,000 persons saw tho battle between Stanford, and the University of California. Not all of these, how ever, were within the stadium, as sev* eral thousand were perched on the hill on the outside. Grange, although failing to score a touchdown, finished his career, blazing in full glory, and, through u strange stroke of fate, was running with the ball, participating in the final play of the game as the pistol barked, ending the contest and his spectacular intercollegiate career. Grange in today's game figured in 21 plays from scrimmage, gaining 148 yards, twice getting away for spectacular runs that brought the crowd cheering to its feet in a frenzy of excitement. Once he got away on i\ run of 36 yards before he was chased out of bounds. His other outstanding effort was a ilarting dash of 25 yards that starti'cjf out with the possibility of a long run for a touchdown. Grange started toward the side lines, then cut back and attempted to pick his way through the Ohio defense, but after shaking off a half dozen tack ier n, he was brought to earth while the crowd settled back in breathless eXvitenu nr. Grange, by his performance today, brought his total record in yards gained in his three years of compe tition to 3,454, more than two miles ' uf territory, and enabled him to finish his career with li? touchdowns to his credit, scored in 20 games. Ilis great- j 1 est. single game achievement, scored! in the IlliiK)is-Michigan game a year] ago, was when he vanquished the1 Wolverines almost^ singlehanded, lac ing back with the kick-off 05 yards for a tcuehdown. Within 12 minutes he had scored four touch downs and finished the game after scoring a fifth, having gained a total of 102 yards, one of the greatest per formances of modern football. Today's, game revealed Grange as a player i unning ? true to his form. With Ohio State dangerous and threatening when he left the contest at the end of the first half, suffering injuries to his back and in severe pain, he scampered, back into the con test. Grange was injured in the fierce tackling of the Ohioans and went to the side lines with Illinois leading 14 to 2, Soon after the start of the third period, however, Ohio scored its only touchdown when Marek raced 15 yards, across the Illinois goal line. Then Grange came tearing onto the field, replacing Gallivan. The red-head, evidently determined to make today's contest one of his outstanding games, roused the fight ing spirit of the players with the result that they scored before the game was under way 10 minutes. Chapman Again Escapes Gallows , New Haven, Conn., Nov. 23. ? Ger ald Chapman, notorious bandit, has escaped death on the gallows at state prison on December 3, as S9^tenced when convicted of the murder of a New Britain policeman more than a year ago. A write of habeas corpus sought on the grounds that Chapman is still a federal prisoner and connot be put to death by the state of Connecticut until he has served his 25 year sen tence in Atlanta for mail robbery was signed by Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas yesterday. The writ directs that Chapman's lawyer produce him before Judge Thomas at state prison next Monday. Chapman's lawyers say the case will go to the United States supreme court if necessary.
