Redskins Will Bank
On Great 0ffense
For Victories
Scoring Punch, Stronger
Than Defense, Should
Give Fans Thrills
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

No great defensive aggregation,
but boasting an attack which should
outscore the opposition in four cases
out of five, is the way the Redskins
stack up four days before starting
their drive for the 1889 National
Football League championship.
We'll spot EN- touchdown or
two and get three ourselves seems
to be the uneXpressed attitude of
the team which thrice has come
from behind to win each of its ex-
hibition games with a scoring punch
which has averaged better than 20
points per game.
And if they do that will be all
right with Owner George Marshall,
who knows that next to touchdowns
the paying public likes nothing bet
ter than more touchdowns. In other
words, Marshall believes that touch
downs turn the turnstiles and he'd
rather the Redskins win one game
by 1920 score than a half dozen
by TO.
Display Offensive Power.
1t was just three weeks ago to-
night, in the intra-squad game at
Spokane, that the scoring poten-
tialities of the 1889 Indians first
became evident. Then, with all the
backs playing, some go points indi-
Gated that power was one thing not
to be found wanting. Subsequent
victories at San Francisco, Los An
geles and Boston proved that sur
mise correct.
Yet to date this punch has ema-
mated from the efforts of three vet
erans-Frank Filchock, Andy Far
kas and Sammy Baugh. Filchock's
all-around play, passing and run
ming, without question has been the
outstanding feature, as the Big Tens
most valuable player of 1887 has
been unstoppable. Between him and
Farkas the Redskins have gained
better than five yards every time
they have carried the ball.
So far the only rookie to be out
standing has been Boyd (Red) Nor
gan, supposedly blocking back from
Southern California. But the other
night in Boston Red took kickoff
on his 22-yard line and raced
through the Redskin wedge into the
open and scampered SIS yards before
he was brought down on the ALL
Stars %. 1t was the second time
the ex-Trojan had capitalized on
opportunity, for he raced more than
so yards to q touchdown the first

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-Lou
Nova was a 2-to-1 favorite over
Tony Galento today for their IS
round heavyweight fight Friday
and he wishes 1t were the other way
around.
I'm not used to being made the
favorite," he said. 1--WE always been
the underdog. Even in college"
The California contender de-
clared, however, that "the burden of
favoritism" isn't making him lose
any sleep.
He finished hard training work
yesterday and turned today to light
drills with the bag Two brief SPAR
ring rounds with "Bingo" Joe Bano-
vic completed his training.
Galento moved to Philadelphia
from his nearby Leiperville training
camp after polishing off two shock
absorbers, eight bottles Of beer and
lobster dinner.
Another ust-before- the-battle de-
velopment: George Blake, veteran
Los Angeles referee, arrived to Of
f1ciate at the Friday conflict, and
said he is going on the basis that
both men will fight cleanly."

Redskins to Make
Numbers Plain

New road uniforms for the
Redskins and an improvement,
without radical change in colors
for home wear, were announced
today by General Manager Jack
Espey.
While the Indians will con-
tinue to wear Burgundy jerseys
and stockings and gold helmets
at Griffith Stadium, they will
change to white jerseys with
Burgundy numerals for games
out of town. Because gold nu-
merals on Burgundy jerseys have
been too hard to distinguish in
the past, however, Espey said
that numerals on home uniforms
this year would be white.

Weakness Of Temperament
Could DESTROY Nova

This is it, the one with Nova.
Odds Of 3 to / say it will be the
last one. But you can't prove that
by Philadelphia Italians, who
seem to consider Nova a sacriflcial
stooge for bold Anthony, rather than
vice versa.
There is one honest way in which
Galento can win this fight, and, II
YOU know Nova, his ambition and
his burning faith in his star, you
know the fight will be honestly
fought. Nova has a weakness. I
don't mean his hitting, which cuts
rather than stuns, or his awkward
ness. Within these structural linn
its he can beat Galento with ease.
But he has a weakness of tempera-
ment which might, conceivably, lose
him the fight: He is too proud for
his own good.
Sxspecting down in his heart that
he cannot beat a slugger in slug
ging match, Nova nevertheless hates
to admit it. His pride runs away
with the young man and he aban-
dons the campaign of safety to step
out and punch toe to toe with real
punchers. This is dangerous against
Galento. 1t was dangerous against
Max Baer. Neither of these round
house swingers could ask for any
thing more.

Tony Is Made Answer
To PubIic's Prayer

Though Tony's career is spurious,
his traits are genuine. He ate,
drank and caterWauled with true
gusto long before the cunning hand
of Joe Jacobs, his manager, guided
him to fame.
Jacobs found good material ready
to his chisel. The average built-up
heavyweight not only is inept, but
dull. Galento was a second-rate
fighter, but he wasn't dull. AS soon
as Mr.. Jacobs had constructed a
record for him, with little CO.
operation here and yonder, Tony
became the answer to the public's
prayer.
His career has been short, neces-
sarily. There wasn't enough talent
left in Tony's padded bones by the
time Mr.. Jacobs got hold of him
to carry him far 1t had to be Joe
Louis right away. Any honest fight
with a contender involved the risk
of losing the big pot Of the year,
the championship gate, for which
Jacobs and Tony were shooting.
Tony, in love with his left hand, was
willing to gamble, but Yussel the
Muscle wasn't.
And the strange thing is that
Tony, though mercilessly and dan
gerously beaten by Louis, did well
enough-and has strong enough
constitutional earn him one more
important fight.

time and when he finally did Joe
ended the bout"
Pastor, a former football player,
has spent hours studying motion
pictures of Louis in action and adj
mits he has mapped his battle plans
as carefully as the generals who are
running the European war. He has
indicated that he intends to keep
moving at top speed as long as he
can, jabbing to the head until Louis
is ripe for a shot to the body.
Pastor Resumes Sparring.
Louis never has been hit in the
stomach, and I am going to try it,"
Pastor says.
After day of rest, Pastor will
resume sparring at his camp near
Brighton this afternoon. He will also
undergo an examination by a Michi-
gan Boxing Commission physician.
Louis got day of rest after pas
sive performance against four spar
ring partners yesterday that saw
the champion on the receiving end
of plenty Of left jabs.

Louis Not 10 Chance
Tactics for Scrap
With Pastor
Bob's Carefully Planned
Attack Has Champions
Stomach as Target
By the Associated Press.
DETDNTT Cant


DETROIT, Sept. 13-Heavy-
weight Champion Joe Louis has no
set plan for his title defense against
Bob Pastor Of New York at Briggs
Stadium here one week from tonight,
Trainer Jack Blackburn said today.
Hes going to fight Pastor just
like he fought the rest of EN-" said
Blackburn, adding that the Brown
Bomber's technique sis good enough
for me-"
The usual Louis style, Blackburn
said, is to try to create an opening
and then let go with his Sunday
punch.
John Roxborough, co-manager OF
the champion, admitted he had been
irked no end by reports that Louis
had carried" foes, among them Tony
Galento, his last knockout victim.
Merely Avoids Big Risks.
"Joe always has and always will
end his bouts just as quickly as he
can" Roxborough declared. THE
champion is too valuable to risk for
the purpose of making an opponent
look good or giving the spectators
few extra rounds of fighting.
"Galento was in a crouch at the
start" Roxborough said, land Joe
Knew he could break a hand If he

Likely to Be Terrors.

If these established ground-gain-
ers get the expected assistance from
Dick Todd, Jimmy Johnston and
Jim Meade, then will they be terrors
to any defense from the starting
whistle. Indeed, it's not too far
fetched to say that there's poten-
tial touchdown any time any one
of these backs starts carrying the
oval.
In more ways than one 1t is ex-
tremely fortunate that this punch
seems available, for the middle of
the Redskin line still seems to have
the unhappy tendency to crack wide
open at least twice during a game.
Although enemy backs have &C
counted for stable gains only in
frequently, such might prove fatal
to a team without a counter attack.

From the
Press Box
Future Dark for Tony
If Lou Is Cautious
Nv JOHN LARDNER,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13 tN.A.
NA).-The stage is set for Tony
Galento's last appearance as major
figure in American life. Gamblers
and experts alike feel sure that
Tony will go down amid flame and
smoke and saber stroke before the
attack of Lou Nova, the young white
hope from California, in their Is
round bout at Municipal Stadium
here.
And if Tony goes he won't be back.
Not as a headline character. One
more job of surgery on his hand
stitched face and body, one more
Job of sewing him back together
again and the bold bartender can
retire to a frame in the tapestry
room of the museum of art, with
more embroidery in him than a
young girls party dress.
The fat mans heart beats as
loudly as ever, but his scars are
marked with dotted lines, and Nova,
sharp and ambitious, knows how
to cut.
The italians of Philadelphia won't
believe it, of course, till they see it.
Here as elsewhere the round, squat,
hairy publican, with his Falstaffian
appetite, bludgeoning left hand and
heart of oak, has captured the i'm
agination of the fans, especially
among his countrymen.
Nova is Italian, too, but he seems
pale and obscure to the fans Of this
town beside the roaring Jerseyman
whose work they know and relish.

In this light" the publisher
said. you must consider that the
