...uncertain start this year, the Eagles may not equal their fine 1944 record of 7 won, 2 tied, 1 lost. They whizzed through five exhibition games, including one with the Champion Green Bay Packers, began 1945 league competition with a 21-6 win over the improved Chicago Cardinals. Then, this week, they had their wings clipped-by the geared-up Detroit Lions and trigger-armed Charles Fenenbock. The 28-to-24 upset was the Eagles' second loss in 21 games.

Now Manager Steve O'Neill of the Champion Tigers could turn his mind to duck-shooting. The Cubs' Charlie Grimm, saying, "Well, I ain't gonna hang myself," headed for his Robertsville, Mo. farm to chop wood and raise horses.

...talent and gift of the gods. The only woman aboard was a princess: Atalanta of Calydon, the virgin huntress, who could outrun any man in Greece. Argus, who built the Argo, was the world's finest shipwright. Castor and Pollux, sons of Leda and the swan (Zeus), were champion prizefighters. Nauplius was an unrivaled navigator (naturally: his father was Poseidon, the sea god). Orpheus could make sticks & stones dance when he played his lyre. Hercules of Tiryns was the strongest man in the world; he would have captained the Argonauts were it not that in moments of insanity...
