Owens First and Second
Teams Thot in Name Only.

Carbarn Owens has a starting
team, but this reflects nothing
against the second team, which is a
second team in name only. In the
fundamentals of play, in the exc
cution Of their blocking, the stiff
ness Of their tackling and the charge
of their line both teams excel all
others in the professional league,
which, of course, is the best football
league there is.
Briefly, the Giant policy is to sac
rif1ce names for results. Balanced
and co-ordinated, the Giants win
consistently, and by winning they
attract better crowds than many a
star r-spangled outfit.
There are still a good many foot
ball fans who follow the intercol-
legiates feverishly and have no per-
sonal knowledge of the pros. This
Is an oversight. The last thought
in your correspondents mind is to
promote the business interests of
the National Professional Football
League. If all the present club
owners went bankrupt tomorrow and
were succeeded by new batch your
agent would face the prospect with
. cheerful tune on his harmonica.
But their boys play the kind of
football that takes good watching.
Get load of it, if you haven't done
so already.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
21.-Maryland's scanty grid forces
charged into action against a
heavier, favored Rutgers eleven
today with high hopes and an even
chance of chalking up their third
victory OF the season.
Nettled by their 11th-hour defeat
at Virginia's hands last week, the
Terps reached here with both bar
rels primed and cooked, ready to
let Harvey Harmon's huskies have it..
Rutgers, undefeated in three
games, but tied, 6-6, last week by
Richmond, has a notoriously heavy
line, but supposedly is weak at the
fanks. With their meager supply
of backs, especially ball-carriers
able to nudge their way through
the line, the Terps expected to steer
clear of the husky forwards and to
pass and sweep the wings.
Several changes have been made
in Maryland's lineup, one returning
Dick Shaffer, recently recovered
from an injury, to his position at
end. Fred Widener replaces Milt
Lumsden at fullback. Mearle Du
Vail, passing star, and Pershing
Mondorff, running and f1eld-goal

the starting lineup, but were GER

Good Workout for Redskins

for their sectional title. But the
final score was Philadelphia, 2l;
Detroit, Z.
If the Indians do get the jump on
the Pirates tomorrow, however, look
for even more changes in the back
field than in the line. Coach Ray
Flaherty has only three additional
linemen in excess of two complete
forward walls, but an even dozen
backs are available. excluding
Sammy Baugh. Because it is his aim
to have the full squad in shape for
the Packers week from tomorrow
Flaherty will not work any one
combination longer than necessary
tomorrow.
Skins Look to Eastern Lead.
According to the dope. Washing
ton should be in sole command of
the Eastern Division tomorrow night,
for the champion New York Giants
are rated slight underdogs to the
Chicago Bears. Boosting one of the
most powerful attacks the league
ever has seen, the Bears move into
the Polo Grounds tomorrow as IA
vorites to hand the New Workers
their first defeat in II National
League games. If they do-and if
the Redskins win-the latter will
be the East's undisputed leader.
The only sad member of the Red
skin contingent today was Assistant
Coach Max Krause, who, up until
three weeks ago, was one of the
squads most dependable blocking
backs. Hurt in the Giant game and
subsequently transformed from an
active player into coach, Krause
still is on crutches and unable to

the Washington Redskins the great

that. They plod along, with few dis

NEW YORK, Oct, 21.-The nicely
assorted standings of the National
Professional Football League are
subject to shutting in one swift
rifle tomorrow-and likely to get it.
Topping program of five games,
the Detroit Lions will skirmish
against the Green Bay Packers and
the Chicago Bears will battle the
New York Giants All these teams
are front-rank championship con-
tenders and hardly can collide with
out bulge somewhere.
At the moment the Lions are un-
defeated and united in four games
and tenaciously holding the West
ern Division lead over the Bears,
who have won four and lost one, and
the Packers, who have won three
and lost one.
Expect $4,000 at Polo Grounds.
The Giants and Washington are
deadlocked for the Eastern Division
lead with three victories apiece and
scoreless tie against each other.
Anticipating a blood-and- thunder
eruption such as bloomed from most
of the Bears prior invasions of this
metropolis, crowd of $4,000 is eX-
pected to mill its way into the Polo
Grounds for the Giants game.
So much heat has been put on
the fracas that Coach George Halas
reverted to the old college trick of
keeping his boys out of town. The
Bears bivouacked across the Hudson
at Newark, N. j.
The pressure is fully as high at
Green Bay and the crowd would be
as big If there were $4,000 persons
in the town and the stadium would
hold that many.
Both Games Are Tossups.
One guess is as good as another on
the outcome of these two games.
The days other contests present
less of a problem-at least on paper.
The Washington Redskins, for
instance, should encounter little
enough trouble at Pittsburgh. They
beat the Pirat tes, A to IA, a week ago
at the Capital.
The reinforced Brooklyn Dodgers
will be favored heavily on their own
gridiron against the hapless Phila-
delphia Eagles and Cleveland's slow
starting Rams will take the field the
choice against the Chicago Cardi-
mails.
