Another great gound gainer hampered by the condition of the field

A football scene depicts Father Dearborn as a football player trying to run with the football (Chicago's progress) through a muddy field (traffic congestion and traction problems) toward the goal (first city in the world). In the background several players (skidding politicians) have slipped on the mud, and the public (Chicago's three-million population) cheers on.
