Edwards Would Make
Jokes Of Giants #
Title Is Cinthed
Stond Aside and Luuqh
When They Run Ball,
Redskins Idea
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,
Star Stan Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-"Wouldn't
1t be something" Capt. Turk Ed
wards was saying today, IF we
could have the Eastern champion
ship clinched before we played the
New York Giants in the last game
OF the season on December 4? NoS
just because of the relief it would
afford us, but on account of the
fun we could have in that return
game with the Giants"
Edwards chuckled a bit and
started musing on the possibilities.
Although the record might not
look so good if it showed two de-
feats for the three time Eastern
champions in one season at the
hands of the Giants, I'd be all in
favor of throwing that last game
but in such a way that there would
be no doubt about it and which
would be more aggravating to the
Giants than if we evened the cur
rent seasons score by winning.
In other words. why not let the
Giants run up all the touchdowns
they wanted and while they were
running, we could just stand aside
and thumb our noses at 'em. A lot
of good those touchdowns would do
them and they'd know it. For
once. we could enjoy seeing the
Giants run. and we might even run
alongside for company.
Opens Up Possibilities.
1T might be rubbing it in little
at that, but it would be something
new and we've had our share of
being forced to win the tough ones.
And those Giants were so cocky
when they left Washington after
beating us in October that it would
deflate 'em fat"
Yes, the possibilities are numer-
Gus. For instance, the Redskins
might use the game as a passing
contest between their three chuck
ers-Slingin' Sam Baugh, Bill Hart
man and Frank Filchock; say, to
see who not only could complete
the most, but who could throw the
longest. And then, to take extraor-
dinary precautions that on one
would be hurt, the Redskin ball
carriers could stop in their tracks
and down the ball whenever they
saw tackle coming 1t would, in
deed, be quite spectacle, this Civ
ing in" Intentionally to the enemy
something like last games of the
baseball season the Mats have
played when they allowed Nick AL
trock to pitch or play first base
when nothing was at stake.
Naturally, all such talk is bit
premature, but it gives the Redskins
an added incentive to beat the Bears
here Sunday. They can't help but
think the Giants will drop at least
one more game in battles with
Cleveland, Green Bay and Brooklyn
before they play the Redskins
again. And if they do and the Red
skins beat the Bears Sunday and the
Pirates in Washington on November
q, that last game would be super
fuouS.
See Perfect Clicking.
Because they will be in perfect
physical condition for a National
League game for the first time this
season next Sunday, there is a
strong, though unspoken, feeling
among the champions that they
will click on all II for the first time
in a 1888 league contest. The latest
casualty, Jim Barber, who was 60
ing around today with three stitches
in his ear and two over his eye
brow as a result of being booted by
Don Irwin when the latter hurdled
over the line for moving picture
yesterday, is not going to let little
things like that keep him on the
bench and all other former wounded
are nearing top shape again.
Even Andy Farkas' bruised toe
rapidly is losing its soreness and
the rookie spark-plug is r'arin'
to go.
