STALEYS WIN WORLD'S DIRT TITLE

Four Independents were carried off the field yesterday. Quarterback Sid Nichols with a wrenched knee in the first quarter. Harry Gunderson was hit by George Traften a good 4 seconds after the whistle and had his face slid across while still on the ground after a tackle. Gunderson left the game and had to get 11 stiches over his left eye, 2 stiches on his upper lip and he had a broken hand. Fred Chicken had his knee twisted badly by Blacklock and Halas on an end run. In the final quarter Oke Smith also had his knee twisted in a pile.
