Because Ray Flaherty and Steve
Owen are recognized as two of the
cagiest coaches in professional foot
ball and because their respective
teams margin of victory over the
Philadelphia Eagles were similar,
the logical question on every fans
lips today was:
who held back the most, the
Redskins or the Giants?"
1t is doubtful If even the most
naive fan believes either team re-
vealed its full strength against
Davey O'Brien & Co. Where, for
instance, when the Redskins played
at Philadelphia. were Dick Todd and
Jimmy Johnston-the rookie ball
carriers for whom Flaherty has pre-
dicted brilliant futures? On the
bench. except for four minutes
played by Todd
Where, last Sunday. were such old
Giant reliables as Johnny Bulb
Karcis, Hank Soar, Ed Danowski
and Dale Burnett? They played,
but Tuffy Leemans and a rookie
named Eddie Miller grabbed the
headlines. We wonder who Owen
thought he was fooling when he
kept that veteran quartet in the
background?
Redskins Conserved Strategy.
Flaherty admits the Redskins
didn't use more than a dozen plays
against the Eagles, and the Giants
probably didn't use any more. Ac-
cording to Bert Bell, the Eagles
owner, the Giants last Sunday were
the best football team I've seen
seen -. far better than they were
last year" Of that's the case,
watch out Redskins. Remember
36-0?)
Yet, constant shuffling of the
two New York teams, which Owens
inserts as units, and which he de-
clares are nearly equal, scored only
13 points against the Eagles. who are
acknowledged to have II good foot
ball players, and no more.
And so we think there'll be quite
a revelation, come Sunday, when
the East's hottest professional grid
rivals meet at Griffith Stadium for
the first time this fall in the local
curtain raiser. Few would be so
foolish as to predict that this years
Eastern championship depends on
this game, but the victor will gain
a big edge.
Indeed. if the great Snowman,
George Preston Marshall, himself
had set the stage for Washington's
first National Football League game
of 1899 he couldn't have arranged
it any better than the situation
which will find the two undefeated
rivals clashing for the sectional
leadership in the most crucial game
of the early season.
It's small wonder, then, that the
demand for seats has been unprec-
edented and that Business Manager
Harold Donovan is in danger of
being engulfed by the mob which
surges on the Redskin ticket Office
from early morning until late at
night. And it's highly probable
that, because Griffith Stadium will
be on a 100 per cent reserved-seat
basis for all Redskin games this
season, Sundays game will be q
sellout days before the contest.
Only Two Redskins Out.
AS for the Redskins themselves,
they won't have much chance to
forget the big business any time
before the kickoff. Through Friday
they will be command guests at a
Fairlawn, not moving into Griffith
Stadium until the day before the
game.

veys? Well, Meade's Ranch is about
twelve miles north of Lucas, in Osborne
County. Kansas The spot that is so
important to government surveyors IS
marked by a tablet set in block OF
concrete projecting SIX inches above
the surface of the ground. If this block
of concrete should happen to get dis
lodged. one has only to dig down three
feet and there is a similar bronze
tablet set in another block of concrete
thirty-four inches below ground.
To explain how this spot on the
Kansas prairlcs happened to be the
chosen spot is long story and a
rather technical one 1t appears that
after careful study had been made
of the entire survey of the United
States, the observations all indicated
that the best possible maps could be
made with the least errors IN them II
this were the adopted center for the
map makers And fortunately enough,
it does happen that II is very near
indeed to the actual territorial center
of the United States.
The government tells us that the
middle of the stone marker is in north
latitude 39o 39' 26" 686 and its longl
tude is $50 32' 3O". .5O6 west of Green
wich. If this was all you were to write
for the address on letter to be sent to
the station marker at Meade's Ranch,
and the letter carrier followed pre-
cisely these figures, he couldn't pos
sibly miss it, for these figures locate
the center of the tablet to the inch.
So successful was the government in
accurately establishing this stone post
that soon both Canada and Mexico
decided to adopt it as the fundamental
point of reference for their own sur
veys. Therefore it has become the
