SPORTSCASTER: Fifty-six thousand fans have wedged themselves into the Polo Grounds to watch the professional Giants tangle with the Green Bay Packers. Comp, for the Packers, heaves a bull's-eye to Hutson for a first down.

Green Bay's ball. Comp takes it again and heaves it. Watch it now--to Livingston, who intercepts it for the Giants and makes it count.

Giants in possession. Ball goes to Ward Cuff, and he goes for the long yardage, about 25 yards of it in one trip. This time the ball goes to Paschal. He knifes through the same hole and picks up 15 more yards. These pros tackle for keeps. Petrilas dives through left tackle. Good thing his head is glued on. The Giants need this game to improve their standing. Ball goes down to first-year player Herber, who sends it along to Liebel, and the Giants win 24 to nothing.
