CHICAGO, Oct. 23-New York S
sturdy Giants and the Green Bay
Packers are rolling along again in
the general direction of title
playof in the National Pro Football
League, keeping step with the merry
click of whirling turnstiles.
These two powerful teams, title
playof participants year ago when
the Giants won the championship,
turned back major foes in yester-
days games with an impressive dis
play of versatile offensives.
A total of 81.52l fans saw the
two games. in which the Giants de-
feated the Chicago Bears. Is to 13.
and the Packers handed the Detroit
Lions their first loss of the season,
26 to 7. The total attendance at
five league games was 12l l.166, an
average of more than $4,000 per
game.
The Bears. showing before 58.963
in New York, second largest crowd
in league history, ran all over the
field but couldn't score in the first
three quarters, while the Giants
were building up a l0-point lead.

Pirates completing only 8 out of

they needed 'em. their other touch
down also being the result of
thrown ball When Boyd Brum-
baugh took McDonough's pass at
midfield, only one Redskin, Andy
Farkas, was between him and the
Washington goal. and Andy was
eliminated by a neat block on the
8-yard line.
Some Merit Is Seen.
The Redskins play wasn't with
out its merits as they looked ex-
tremely impressive in rolling up a
14-0 lead before the Pirates came
to life Wayne Millner's 3l-yard
run after taking Filchocks pass on
his finger tips step behind the
Pirate secondary produced the first
score in the opening minutes of the
game and Filchock threw another
touchdown pass to Farkas shortly
after which covered SO yards. Andy
Wriggled away from at least three
Pirates who had hold of him when
he caught the ball to gallop to the
score.
Irwin atoned for his defensive
lapse by scoring the Redskins last
touchdown, breaking through a hole
opened by Capt. Turk Edwards and
Glen Stralka to dash % yards to
pay dirt.
With the exception of a few cuts
and bruises, the Redskins came out
of the game intact for the hard work
next Sunday. Dick Todd was shak-
en- up bit and helped off the field,
but was all right today. Charlie
Malone is sporting sinner over his
right eye and Wilbur Moore has
cut over his left optic, but no serious
injuries were suffered And Sammy
Baugh didn't aggravate his knee
injury when he got into the game
only long enough to get off one punt

Intercity teams are carefully

For nearly year the golfing lads
at Congressional have been looking
ahead to another links trip to Pine
hurst-such as they had last year.
This year about 40 will make the
trip to the Carolina resort. The
dates chosen are December 8, 9, 10
and II, and already Witty Cox, the
club pro. is making plans for the
junket, adjusting handicaps and
getting everything in readiness for
a trip that looms as the biggest
Southern trek of members from any
one club around Washington during
the coming winter.
In a way the thing is bigger than
the Augusta trip promoted annually
by Rudolph Harrell, for Harrell's
trips nowadays are limited to around
36 players. If only 40 go on the Con-
gressional trip the men arranging
it will be surprised, for at least a
score more have said they may go.
One of the larger feminine links
fields of the year will play tomorrow

final tourney of the year for men,

Later Makes Amends
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,

EN- ROUTE TO MILWAUKEE,,
Oct. 23.-Feeling themselves def
nitely on the spot, but detecting two
bright angles in yesterdays other
wise somewhat discouraging devel-
opments. the Redskins today sped
toward the foster home of the Green
Bay Packers-their immediate and
foreboding obstacle on the path to
the Eastern championship of the Ma
tlonal Professional Football League.
1t was no secret that the Redskins
confidently expected the Chicago
Bears to overpower the Giants, and
it was big disappointment to them
last night when news to the con-
trary trickled in. For had the Bears
come through, the Redskins would
have been in sole command of the
Eastern division today instead of
still being deadlocked with their
greatest rivals.
BY winning, the Giants also put
1t strictly up to the Redskins to
duplicate their feat against another
OF the Vests strongest clubs which.
as were the Bears, will be favored
to topple their intersectional op-
ponents.
The Packers must beat the Red
skins next Sunday or surrender
leadership Of the Western division
to the winner of the Bear-Lion
game. Yet. in that 26-7 score the
Packers rolled up against the pre-
viously undefeated Lions yesterday,
the Indians see the seeds of over
confidence which may send Green
Bay against them in a disastrous
for the Packers frame of mind.
They are glad the Packers didn't
have hard game which would have
LETT them in surly mood, eager to
take it out on the next opponent.
Redskins Looked Bad.
The other encouraging angle from
a Redskin standpoint is that they
believe they now have a bad game
out OF their system for, even though
they defeated the Pirates. 2l-14, at
Pittsburgh yesterday. they looked
pretty terrible doing it.
The Redskins tackling was poor.

AND, individually. two Redskin vet
Grams committed misdeeds that

Floutlng the tenets of sound foot

a pass deep in his own territory in
the last quarter when the Redskins
had only 7-point lead and the
Pirates were in the mood to tie the
score. And if the home team had

Frankle's fling which Center Joe
Maras snagged on Washington's 23-
yard line. the former Indiana back
would have been solely responsible.

it was a gift pure and simple from
Don Irwin, who allowed himself to
be sucked out of the end zone into

Time, Patience Needed
To Develop Blocker
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Oct. % (N.A.N.A0.-
Jock Sutherland. companion on
the journey to Knoxville, was talk
ing about the very important sub
ject of blocking.
1T isn't quite' true that if you
have good blocker anybody can
carry the ball. Jock said But it's
almost true. Let's put it this way:
A good ball carrier can go quite a
way with good blocker but he
can't 60 anywhere without one.
Teaching boy to block is much
harder than teaching him to carry
the ball. Unless you have an un-
usual candidate for the job it takes
time and patience-and sometimes
little ingenuity"
What do you look for in a pros
pective blocker?" I asked
Size. power, speed. the ability
to start quickly-and genuine lik-
ing for hard contact work" he said.
THE size is very important. A boy
must be big enough to stand the
rigors of dealing out and taking
punishment. But he can't be too
big or he's likely to be unWieldy.
How big do you like them?"
From l80 to 200 pounds" Jock
answered. Backs that weigh 2lO
and 220 are too big I don't mean
there aren't exceptions. But I've
seen very few of them and we're
talking now about the average can
didate for a blocking assignment. :"

Censures First Lady

It was on New Year Eve that
a very intelligent young couple
crashed the party given in
honor of President Roosevelt at
the White House.
A short time after, Mrs.
Roosevelt made the remark that
they might have been shot. Did
she mean that the guards who
protect the White House have
been ordered to shoot rather
than ask questions first?
In my estimation it was a
very rude remark to make If
you consider her social stand
ing. Why did she not come out
in the papers and criticize the
guards for allowing the young
couple to pass?
A well-known statesman once
said "to succeed in this world
you must face fears and hard
ships with q SMILE"
President Roosevelt, who has
sense. did the right thing by
congratulating the couple and
sending them on their way. I
recommend that Mrs. Roosevelt

closed and I congratulate the
couple for their successful visit.
