that maybe Mr.. Owen hasn't seen
Baugh lately. 1t seems that Sam has

Mr.. Roy Baker of the Redskin
coaching staff throws some light
on the boy.
"He didn't run the ball at college" "
says Mr.. Baker. II guess maybe they
didn't want to risk hurting him. And,
Of course, he didn't block. He just

No, he isn't particularly fast, but he

Thrills Fill Big Battle.

THE realization that the Redskins
all-America backs and linemen
with all-America capabilities can live
up to their regulations and produce
thrill after thrill undoubtedly was
uppermost in the minds of those who
crowded Griffith Stadium yesterday.
Honored by Vice President Jonn N.
Garner. who occupied field box on
the 50-yard line, the games official
attendance was not announced. but
most estimates were near the 10000
mark. The crowd and the game
proved fitting climaxes to the con-
clusion of Washington's first profes-
sional football season and the final
answer to the would-be scoffers of
the play-for-pay game.
The greatest and most important
thrill was. of course, the fact that
for the fourth time this season-the
Skins came from behind in the sec
ond half to win the ball game. That's
winning them the hard way con-
sistently and warning to those
tempted to sell the Marshallmen
short.

Figures Show Bitter Battle,

COME idea Of the evenness Of tbs
struggle, one of the bitterest ever
waged on local gridiron, is seen in
the statistics which reveal only
difference of 6 yards-in favor of the
Skins-in gains of each team. First
downs we're even at 13, with the Skins
outrushing the foe, 1872 to 129. and
getting 100 yards through passes to
Green Bays 106.
The only disquieting note was the
half the distance to = the goal line
penalty that the Skins drew for un-
necessary roughness. 1t was on Eddie
(King Kong Kahn for roughing the
passer, but Kahn said after the game
that he merely waded into Herber

MalOne's Pass-Grabs Tell

nUTMANEUVERED in the first half
when lengthy punts kept them
backed against their own goal and
Don Huston's catch of Bob Monnett's
pass in the end zone gave the Packers
big points, the Burgundy and Gold
suddenly tied the game in the third
quarter.
Holding for downs on their own 30
after the Packers had marched so
yards, the Redskins were galvanized
into action by great leaping catch
of Charley Malone, who ran 10 wards
to Green Bays 90 after taking Sammy
Baugh's 40-yard heave In six plays
the Skins got the tying touchdown.
Baugh accounting for one 7-yard gain
and Cliff Battles for the remaining
yardage. Battles final rush for the
score saw the great Clipper twist and
turn his powerful body over from the
1-yard line. Riley Smiths placement
evoked the loudest yell in local foot
ball history when it put the Skins
in front of the Packers. 7-6.
1t was the death -knell for the
Packers, who never thereafter threat
ened. But the multitude did not
breathe easy until the last quarter
when Malone again leaped, actually
and figuratively. into the spotlight.
This time. it was catch on the s.
yard line which Malone momentar-
lily juggled before he butted two Pack
ers out of the way and stumbled over
the goal-line Smith made it a per-
feet day with his second conversion.

Sam Won the Game.

YOU couldn't see Flaherty, but you
had a mental picture of Ray
squirming on the bench when he sent
Baugh in the game in the first period.
Personally you thought the Redskins
had little to lose. 1t seemed pretty
obvious that Washington, without
Sammy in the starting bacKneld, was
unable to cope with the Packers. It
appeared to be one of those "either-
he-does -or-he doesn't" propositlons.
Well, Sammy did. With bow to
Battles ability as a running back . &.
and he is the best Cliff cannot
kick in the same league with Baugh,
nor can he pass with him. A year
from now there may be some doubt as
to whether Battles can run any better.
That's how this Baugh is coming
along.
In the final analysis, Baugh won the
game. Battles and Charley Malone
made the touchdowns and Riley Smith
kicked the extra points. Turk Ed
wards and others on the line played
courageous football against heavier
.and probably better forwards. Flaherty
cutely instructed the Skins to rush
Flash Herber on his passes, whereas
Baugh was given more time.
Made Packers Lessen Line.
RUT it wasn't until Baugh went into
the game that Washington even
threatened to score. In the first place
he forced the Packers to abandon their
seven-man line. Early In the second
period Sam punted 70 yards in playing
territory, not counting the roll when
the oval bounded past the end zone.
OUGHT That hurt the Packers. When

In eastern Montana, because of the

SAYS BEWARE OF FOREIGN
GROWN ALFALFA SEED

ZEMAN.--Because of the light
alfalfa seed crop in Montana this year,
Ralph D. Mercer, extension agronomist,
again warns growers that there may be
a tendency for seed from foreign coun-
tries to find its way into the state for
sale and distribution
In fact, just recently, Mercer said, he
received an advertisement iauding the
virtues of Hungarian alfalfa seed when
planted in Germany, Denmark Sweden
and Switzerland. The advertisement
concluded with this statement: I'VE un-
qualifiedly recommend planting this
seed in our northwestern states believ-
ing that the results will be fully equal
to seed of Montana origin
Results of tests made by the Montana
agricultural experiment station at the
Judith Basin branch station tell an en-
tirely different story about Hungarian
seed. Mercer pointed out. From plant
ings made in 1880 of number of inn
ported alfalfa seeds, Hungarian seed
had only 20 percent survival Fur
thermore these tests showed that al
lana seeuS from all foreign countries,
with the exception of Canada, proved
very unsatisfactory for central Mon
tana. During the six year test period
these foreign seeds made an average
yield 10 percent lower than the aver
age yield of Ladak. Cossack. and
Gsimm-the three standard varieties
recommended for Montana.
Mercer also reminds growers that the
federal seed act requires the coloring
of all lots of alfalfa seed imported into
the United States.
