LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.-Not yet
perfect, but revealing signs of steady
improvement, the Redskins today
showed off for the East, completely
satisfied that they had accomplished
all they set out to do in the West
one month ago.
Sporadically brilliant in their
21-6 rout of the Los Angeles Bull
dogs here last night, all but one of
the players who took part in the sec
ond victory in as many weeks were
aboard the train which will stop at
Albuquerque, N. Mex, tomorrow for
the first of two stops for workouts
on the cross country trek to Boston.
That one was George Karamatic,
sophomore" halfback, who was
given his release by Coach Ray
Flaherty after once again having
failed to measure up in the least de-
gree to Tiny Thornhill's observation
that he was the best back on the
Pacific Coast" in 1887. Asking of
waivers on the ex-Gonzaga star oc-
casioned little surprise as he had
been deemed on the way out since
the intrasquad game in Spokane.
Clearly Outclass Bulldogs.
Although their timing left some
thing still to be desired. the Red
skins clearly outclassed the Bulldogs
from the moment in the first period
when the host team scored it's lone
touchdown through Keith Ranspot
running nearly SO yards with a
tumble until the final whistle. And
there is no doubt that had Flaherty
kept his best scoring units in there
longer, he could have run up much
larger score.
The Redskins made 13 first downs
to the Bulldogs five and completed
II passes to the enemys six, one of
which was for loss Indeed. one
of the brightest features, from
Redskin standpoint, was their de-
cided improvement in pass defense,
as the Bulldogs had 81 knocked down
by alert Indians and one intercept
ed Realizing that they could make
little headway through the line, the
Bulldogs resorted to aerial strategy
throughout the second half, but
their first IL were incomplete before
they once succeded-for a loss.
Sammy Baugh continued to look
like the Baugh of 1887 Although
only in the game for little more
than quarter and despite a ball
which early became water soaked
from the heavy dew, the Singer
made good on out of IL. and five in
the second quarter gave the Indians
their second touchdown.
Ed Justice co-operated nicely with
Sammy by magnetizing the touch
down toss with one hand and then
falling over the goal line
The most notable fact about the
1899 Baugh is that he is tipping his
throws with all of the old-time form
that made him famous and that he
looks ready for his best year.
Farkas Proves Versatility.
Andy Farkas was used only in the
second period, but plowed yards
straight through the center of the
line for the touchdown that tied the
score and twice proved his versatility
by booting the conversion from
placement.
The bow-legged little Hungarian
is battering opposing lines as if he
were Wee Willie Wilkin-and look
ing like Wee Willie on wheels.
Except for two instances when the
middle of the Redskins starting line
cracked wide open, the Indian for
wards acquitted themselves we'll.
The Bulldogs could make only one
first down in each of the first two
periods and only three during the
second half.
Outstanding performances were
turned in by Johnny Spirida and
Wilbur Moore. Spirida strength
ened his bid for the fifth end job by
averaging better than AZ yards on
three punts, while Moore, Mime
sofas leading ground-gainer last
year, broke away for the longest run
of the night, 43 yards, in the fourth
quarter. If better downfield block
ing had been accorded him, the
Skins would have had another
touchdown.
