Redskins CamoufIaqf
Practice in Chicago
To Mis|ead Bears
Drills in New Plays
Skull Sessions Only
To Thwort Spies
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,
Star STAFF Corresnondent


CHICAGO. Nov. 8-Rain, infre-
quent snow f1urries and tempera-
ture lowering in the low 30s meant
nothing to the Washington Red
skins here today as, Incorporating
shreWd bit of skullduggery into their
practice and disdaining adverse
weather conditions, they began
preparations for the Chicago Bears
with more vigor and determination
than they have shown all year.
Aware that in light of their West
ern title-squelching defeat at the
hands of the Green Bay Packers
last Sunday-their third successive
defeat, incidentally-a victory to the
Bears now means as much as this
election day does to voteless Wash
lngton, the Redskins still have good
cause to believe that the Bears are
cunning for them and will stop at
nothing to beat them on Sunday.
Grudge Game in Prospect.
Chlcagos leading professional
football team hasn't forgotten the
Redskins 1921 victory in the play
off game here last December. nor
the fact that the Indians made it
two out of three by splitting even
with them in two post season ex-
hlbltlon games. And what the Red
skins did last year, the Bears would
do this.
Because Coach Ray Flaherty
knows that the bears have secuted
them in almost every game this
season and will have spies planted
wherever the Redskins practice here
this week, he purposely will mis-
lead them. Prevented from working
out at Wrigley Field because it is
shared by both the Bears and Car

looked far below standard. But
don't overlook the fact that Sam
mys average is still close to so
per cent and that one of the three
he completed Sunday was the
touchdown pass.
At this time I'd like to single
out a few Redskins who haven't
received quite the attention from
the press and fans they deserve.
Ed Justice, our veteran halfback
from Gonzaga University, is an
example of this group. Justice is
one of our most consistent play
ers, strong on defense and an
exceptionally good blocker. Every
now and then he catches few
passes and carries the ball on
reverse plays. but he primarily is
blocker. Because he doesn't
have all the color of Erny Pinck-
ert, he sometimes fails to receive
as much credit as his better
known teammate.

You could pick four, five. six or

The card offered 10 to l for four

This is a fair assumption, when
YOU consider last Saturdays results.
