The VirginianS Of that era
boasted a crushing power that

The 1888 edition of that

The overIord of the far-flung

REDSKINS LEAD
LOOP IN GROUND
And AIR GAINS

With the returns from the
Green Bay Packers Chicago Card
inals game still missing. the
Washington Redskins are leading
the professional football league
in ground gained, with 953 yards
to their credit. The Pittsburgh
Pirates are second with 869 yards
gained.
The Redskins also are the lead
ing gamers by forward passes,
with 80 competitions out of 81 at
tempts for a total gain of 458
yards. A recheck of games may
give the Redskins credit for an
other pass completed with still
greater total yardage gained.
These facts, CLEANED from a sta
tiSticaI chart released by the pub
licity bureau of the professional
football league, are the more re-
markable because they establish
the effectiveness Of the Redskins
without the benefit Of Riley Smith
and Sammy Baugh.
KICKERS SHINE
The only branch of attack in
which the Redskins are effective
is punting. Perhaps many folks
thing that the punt is a medium
Of defense alone, but football men
fail to share this opinion. A good
punter will gain more ground in
a game than than an average
halfback.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the
leading opportuniSts of the league.
They have recovered seven fum-
bles by their opponents and
turned them to account. Against
the Giants they grabbed two and
scored touchdowns. Against the
Redskins they recovered four,
turning one into field goal and
two into .touchdowns. Their to.
tai is five touchdowns and a field
goal growing out Of recovered fum-
bles.
The Redskins went through a
long drill for the Giants yeSter-
day. Flaherty is working with
might and main to set the Red
skins defense against the attack
Of the New Workers.
RECORD SHOWS POWER
There is good reason for this.
for the Giants in two games have
made is first down per game.
They completed % out Of 80 for
ward passes. The Giants have
held the opponents attack to IA
yards per game.
Turk Edwards, captain and
tackle of the Redskins said to-
day that the team would be in
first class condition for the clash
with Steve Owens men on Octo-
ber 8. The chief work Of the
skins will be to keep In the best
possible condition. And since no
scrimmage will be held between
now and the end of the season,
there is no reason to anticipate
injuries or lack Of condition.
