Recap
The Spartans struggle all season and finish a disappointing record of 6-5. It would also turn out to be their final season in the small town of Portsmouth, Ohio. With the NFL was moving into large cities, the Spartans would be part of the move as Dick Richards buys the small town team, and moves them to Detroit where they establish a new tradition as the Lions. The Spartans would play their final game in Portsmouth on December 3rd losing to the Chicago Bears 17-7.
