  Garland Grange Is Newest Hero at u. of Illinois; Wins Laurels at End Brother of Famous Red Plays Important Part in Defeat of Wolverines; Great Defensive Performer. fell on it on the Wolverine seven yard line. This paved the way for a touchdown. He snsgged passes, he blocked a punt, and playing in the oackfield on defense, he smashed play after play as he backed up the line. “Pinky” plays end where Red” played half back, and therefore has not quite as much opportunity to shine. Where his brother, Harold, was flashy, Garland is workman like. Where “Red” mainly was an offensive threat, “Pinky” is valuable man on defense. This is the third season the younger Grange has tried for a place on the Illinois team. In Reds” last year Garland was out for the team, but recurrence of a high school injury to his shoulder bothered him, and he dropped out of school. The same thing occurred in 1926. The shoulder then was operated on. People began to say “Pinky” was a “hop”-that he was trying to live on his brothers reputation. He decided to show them. He played good football against Ames and against Northwestern this year, but it was against Michigan he found himself. He probably never will be the another Grange” sought these many seasons on many football fields, but he has vindicated himself as a competent football player, and just about as good an end as there is in the Big Ten Conference.
