116 attempts for a so per cent
average. Baugh holds the league
record of 81 competitions in sin
gle season and unless the Redskin
secondary roam about in a Stupor
in the game, there appears little
hope of the giant flipper smash
ing Baugh's mark. However, Dan.
owski can set up a new passing
record for efficiency by maintain
ing his average to date.
BAUGH IN FORM
The fact that Baugh completed
out of 8 passes against the
Pirates in the mud last Sunday
in Griffith Stadium, gives proof
that the Texan has returned to
the same form as that shown by
LeemanS in the ground gaining
department.
Between 10 a. m. and noon
yesterday, while photographers
and newspapermen were having
their innings with the Redskins,
the thermometer dropped from
~ degrees to freezing, the sloppy
st. Pauls schools gridiron freez-
ing over and enabling Coach Ray
Flaherty to call the Redskins out
for brisk workout. A drill in the
hotel ballroom originally had
been planned.
The Giants have not been out
side for practice session since
the game Thanksgiving with
Brooklyn. Shows and freezing
weather have forced Coach Steve
owen to hold workouts on the
badminton courts Of the 59th
Regiment Armory.
The Redskins backfield proba-
bly, will line up with Smith, quar-
ter; Baugh and Justice, halfbacks,
and Farkas, fullback. Vic Carroll
will probably start at center, with
the rest of the regular linemen in
their customary positions.
The Giants have not been de-
feated since the Pittsburgh upset
in the third game of the season.
Six games were won in a row, and
the lone tie, TT, was that with
Brooklyn Turkey Day. The Giants
have rolled up 1853 points to the
opposition's 70. The Redski:.s
have scored 148 against the opposi-
tons 118.
New York newspaper men are
unanimous in their opinion that
the Redskins will take a walloping
pretty much after the same order
the Washington eleven dealt the
Giants last year. Remember the
score, 40 to IA.

 "In 1920" he said, 1t was esti- mated that to widen the Boston Post road in Westchester county, from 6e to 1ee feet would cost over $i 100000 per mile for land alone.

Similar widening of the Albany Post road was estimated at S7e2, 900 per mile whereas the paral- lel Saw Mill River Parkway 800 foot right of way was acquaired for less than $l40,000 per mile.
 Tt Is not proposed that we scrap our existing highway system and develop an entirely new system to carry motor trafiic.
