the football spectator wins.
Tomorrow night, in Griffith Sta
dium, starting at $50 o'clock, two
great attacking combinations clash
George Preston MarShauS
Washington Redskins and the Chi
cago Cardinals. A great game
should result.
Washington's attack, good
enough to score Is points on the
strong New York Giants, will be
greatly improved and strength
ened in the battle against the
Cardinals, for the reason that Cliff
Battles, footballs greatest back
will be in there for the Redskins.
Chicago's attack, with IS vet.
eran professional performers read
for action. and a brilliant array
of youngsters fresh from COLE
giate gridirons pressing the vet
Grams, always will be dangerous
lust so long as the Cardinals nave
backs like Grosvenor, Lawrence,
Grass, Pangle, Reed. May, Russell
and Upton available for duty be-
hind a line composed of men as
well equipped as are Tony bla-
zine, Baker, Miller, Carter, cup
poletti, Volok, Deskin. Smith, Will
son and Gaynell TinSley.
GREAT FLANKER
Washington's football public
lev 10 It's hearC. ne Louisiana
lev otis heart. The Louisiana
state University lad, who came 10
L. S. U, from the little crossroads
town of Houma, La, to make GOOD
with a bang, is a truly great
tanker. Indeed, it is the conSen'
sls of opinion in the Deep South
and in the Southwest that Tins
lev is one of the greatest flank
ers Of all time.
It appears a foregone conclusion
that Tinsley will give the croWo
at tomorrow nights game many a
thrill. His down-the-field work,
under punts, always has been
wonderful to behold, and in the
pro game, this department OF play
ever gives the crowd thrills.
Another Louisianan who should
show washington fans something
is Bill Grass, L. S. us great back
of the past three years. This
young giant, Of the phlegmatlc
type, can haul that mail, and
how! Bill punts, passes, plunges
and runs. Once past the line OF
scrimmage he runs as hard as
any back ever known to foot
ball since the greatest Of 'em all,
"the Big Indian" Jim Thorpe, OF
Carlisle Indian School fame.
A third L. S. U. player-one OF |
the late U. S. Senator Huey P.
Longs boys" also should make
q hit with the crowd at tomorrow
nights game. He is Joseph
"Rock" Reed, a small man as pro
football players go, but as hard as
rocks, possessed of tremendous
drive and with a heart as big as
his whole body. Watch this chap
when he gets into the game!
SAME LINEUP
Ray Flaherty, coach of the Red
skins. probably will start the
same line which started the game
against the Giants a week ago.
He has so many fine backs that
it'll be difficult for him to figure
out his combinations for the
Cardinal game. Local fans, Of
course, would like to see Sammy
Baugh, Riley Smith. Cliff Battles
ard Don Irwin all in there at the
one time. That backfield just
about completes the greatest quar-
tet ever to take the field in foot
ball, professional or otherwise.
However, it would seem that
Faherty. known for his uncanny
ability to hit on the right combi-
nations throughout a hard foot
ball game, will not take any
chances Of being left flat-footed
should any Of his top four per
formers be injured. After all, the
Redskins have nine tough games
ahead after they dispose of the
visitors from the Midwest.
Tomorrow nights game is rated
by National Professional Football
League headquarters as one of the
outstanding contests of the local
season, and at league headquar-
tiers they know their onions. An
other crowd Of great proportions
is expected to witness the battle.
