stay m the running TOT bne ulVlSlOn crown and a berth in the playoff. A setback today would give them three defeats and put them two full games in the losing column behind the championship Redskins.
 The Cardinals bring . dangerous team east headed by the sensational passing duo from Arkansas-Jack Rofsins and Dwight Sloan. These two have completed S2 passes, more than any team has completed. Rob- bins has completed 48 passes only two less than Ed Danowski of the Giants who leads the league in passing efficiency, number of passes completed and yards gained on passes. Therefore, in order to save Danowski's leadership in aerial effectiveness the Giants will have to stop Robbins.
 Stopping the Cardinals passing game is going to be tough for the Chicago eleven has two of the best pass receivers of the league in Gay- nell Tinsley, former L.S.U. star end, and Bill Smith, end from Washing ton who beat the Giants here . few years ago by catching a long SCOT ing pass and kicking the extra point, which gve the Cards a "A to 13 de- cision. Tinsley at present has caught 28 passes and is tied with Don Hutson of Green Bay for the most passes caught this season.
 Stars Galore
 The Cardinals will have Al Ba- bartsky, former member of the Seven Blocks of Granite line at Fordham, at right tackle opposite Tony Blazine to give them two of the toughest tackles in the league.
 In addition to their passing stars the Cardinals have strong running backs in Doug Russell, who led the league in ground gaining in 1885; Jimmy Lawrence, former T.C.U. All- American, Milt Popovich from Mon- tana and Frank Patrick of Pitt.
 The Giants will be at full strength for the game. Ed Widseth, Tuffy Leemans and Kayo Lunday who were hurt in the Dodger game have re- covered and will be ready for duty.
 Will Walls, who was hurt in the Washington game 8 month ago has been placed on the retired list and Chuck Barnard. end from Edmond. Olka., has been recalled from the Jersey City Giants and will make his major league debut against the Cardinals. Barnard is an excep- tional pass catcher and was one of the fastest men in camp during the preseason training at the Blue Hill c. c.
 Before the game there will be a passing for distance contest. Len Barnun, who won the bunting con- test prior to the Dodger game, will seek to prove he is the longest passer of the Giant squad but has been challenged by Dale Burnett and Hank Soar. The Cardinals passing ace, Jack Robbins, also will com pete in the pregame test with a prize of $25 to be split between first and second place. Each passer will get three losses the longest one to count.
 Barnum, who averaged 68 yards on three puntS in the kicking contest, is slated to start at one of the half back posts today. He has been showing improvement in every game and Coach Steve Owen feels the former West Virginia Wesleyan ace has now overcome the nervousness that kept him from showing to best advantage when he was started earlier in the season. He will prob ably pair up in a backfield con- taining Nello Falaschi, Dale Burnett and Bull Karcis. <,
