The final game of the 1954 pro- fessional football season between the Red Bay Packers and the mighty Michigan Miners resulted in a sweeping victory for the Packers. The Michigan boys put up a hard battle but were unable to beat the Red Bay backfield combination of Don Swanson. Bill Arnold and Ver- non Murbach, backbone of the team for the past two seasons. The three boys, before taking up pro football, were workers in the Spokane Television company and became interested in football ob- serving games through the televi- sion screen.

Yesterday ' s game was the last for Murbach, as he is Joining the Foreign Legion. Both Arnold and Swanson will be back next year to lend their strength and do big things for their team, which needs all tile help it can get to overcome the other pro teams that show great promise for the coming sea- Osterback Wins Boxing Title Word has been received from Madison Square Garden that Miss Eleanor Osterback is the women ' s boxing champion for 1954.
