The Lions scored first. Regis
Monahan kicked a three-point
field goal from the 31-yard line
near the close of the first quarter.
The Redskins naturally accepted
the resulting kickoff, the ball sail

Hartman fumbled it and Handy

mistakenly looking at the goal
line as the end-zone line, Farkas
took the ball, stepped back two
yards and grounded it behind the
goal line. A flood of Lion tacklers
hit him and the score was to 0
