Redskins Fooled in Grand Way
As Packers Triumph in Mud;
Irwin Blamed for Defeat

douS weight advantage IN the line.
For it was the Packer line that was
the difference in the teams yester-
day. A line that continually
rushed Sammy Baugh, in contrast to
the inability of the Redskin for
wards to get close to Bay passers
very often J.. A line that opened
huge holes for its backs to rip
through. while the Redskin backs
more often than not found them
selves stymied by skidding forwards
Although all of the Redskins are
willing to share the blame for failure
to stop the Packers, the finger of
guilt points squarely at the usually
reliable Don Irwin for halting three
of the Redskins promising forays
into enemy territory when they were
beginning to show signs of over
coming a 1T deficit. All came
within minutes of the third
quarter.
Sammy Baugh's broken field run
of 80 yards after intercepting 1sbells
pass at midfield had given the Red
skins the ball on Green Bays IL.
On the first play. a spread. Irwin
fumbled and the Packers recovered
Then, after Clarke Hinkle's punt
had been returned % yeards on q
brilliant run by Andy Farkas, Baugh
threw perfect pass to Irwin, in the
clear-and Irwin dropped it. Not
3 minutes later, Irwin butter
fingered reverse from Frank Fill
chock and another incipient threat
had ended. Twas a sad day for
the ex-Colgate back. perhaps his
saddest in professional football.
We wouldn't know, for sure, but
we think the Packers kinda out
smarted the Redskins. Right of the
bat, Herber tossed a long pass to
Hutson. 1t fell incomplete, but it
served its obvious purpose. For it
removed the Redskins secondary
from its place right behind the line
and Packer backs started to have a
field day. In addition, from then
on, the Redskins had eyes only for
Hutson on Bay passes, but from
then on, Hutson wasn't the sole OBJ
ject of teammates heaves. For
Herber not only started to share
the passing duties with Isbell, but
even started getting on the receiving
end of aerials himself, and the Red
skins had been told Herber never
touched the ball except when he was
going to throw it.
Andy Best Running Back.
But with all due respect to Isbell-
a triple-threat of the highest order
Andy Farkas was the best running
back on the field. Andy not only
didn't mind the mud, he loved it.
His legs churned up the loose turf
on runs from S to As yards and once
again he completely captivated a
crowd. The only mystery is
and Andy himself wondered the
same thing aloud after the game
was why he didn't get the chance
to carry the ball oftener. He scored
the Skins first touchdown by going
through center practically untouched
after his beautiful cutback had
started him on 4 43-yard jaunt to
the 7-yard line on the previous play.
In the final result, it only added
; more points to the Packers score,
but Tiny Engebretsen's field goal
from the 17-yard line minute be-
fore the half ended had a bad psy-

Washington Liked Fun

Washington has come down to us as a dour, severe, and somewhat forbidding man. It is a shame that this is true, for Washington in his way was just a5 hu- man as Lincoln. It is true that he was rich, Lincoln poor. It is true that he had a natural austerity that was foreign to Lincoln. But the old idea that Washing ton was sort of tin idol with no human impulses in him is simply all wrong.
 Hence, as we celebrate his birthday, POT years after the event, it IS interesting to recall how he himself passed one of them. It was the winter of 1797. His second term as president was drawing to a close = few weeks later he was to leave the capital, Philadelphia, and retire to Mt Vernon. The famous Farewell Ad- dress had been delivered Only formali- ties remained to the closing of one of the most illustriouS public careers of all time.
 Washington kept diary intermittent ly throughout his life. And on this date he wrote: "Rain in the Night, cloudy forenoon with the Wind at East, after wards at S.W. clear and very fine, went in the evening to an elegant entertmt. given on my birth night. Mery. S8."
 The lifelong farmer comes to the front throughout his diaries, and the careful entry of the weather is characteristic. ("Mery. 38" means Mercury 38" = the temperature.) But behind that simple entry lies the fact that it was swell party.
 It was given at Ricketts, Amphitheater, and at least 1,200 people jammed in. One who was present wrote: "The show was a very brilliant one, but such scrambling to go to supper that there was some dan ger of being squeezed to death. The Vice President handed in Mrs. Washington, and the President immediately followed. The applause with which they were re- ceived was indescribable. The same was shown on their return from supper. The music added greatly to the interest of the scene. The President staid till between 12 and l."
 And though the President did not con- fide it to his diary, you may be sure that he enjoyed every minute of it. For the Father of His Country was no tin idol talking in maxims. He loved good party The solemn words of the Fare we'll Address may well be read by every American today, not for their historic in- tereSt, but because they contain advice as worth hearing today as in 1796. But they make even better reading when we realize that they came from human being, not plaster saint.

Is Death Penalty Dying?

It's been long time since the country has been swept by any kind of a con- certed campaign to abolish capital pun ishment. Back in the old-fashioned days of the early 1900s, when human life was still considered to have value, there used to be periodic campaigns against the death penalty as barbarous. But since the World War set up 8,OOO,OOO white crosses and peoples grew about them while Spain and China were kill ing their millions, somehow objections to ridding the world of some dangerous scoundrel by summary execution sounded weak and irrelevant.
 But it is not that bad. A committee of 40 lawyers banded together to work for abolition of the death penalty in Massachusetts, found that today only six states retain the death penalty with no alternative: Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, North Carolina, New Mexi- co, and Florida. Gradually the appar- ently lost ideal of society that could maintain itself without the punitive ruthlessness of a Chinese war lord, has been making progress even without an active or recognized campaign. That IS often the way of progress. Long cam paigns yield nothing; the reformers tire and say "It is hopeless; nothing can be done!" And then, while they speak, the fruit they tried so long to pick drops in their lap, dead ripe at last.

Our Merchant Ships

The Maritime Commission reports that the American merchant marine is being restored. Its long and dangerous decline has been checked, the process reversed, and progress has begun" This is not entirely the result of private enter prise and profitable operation. It comes largely from federal subsidy. And that, by normal standards, is not healthful situation. In the great days of our mer- chant marine, it took care of itself and made money and gained world prestige without asking help from onyone.
 Today, with international trade in de- cline, cargoes scarce, and construction and operation more costly than ever be- fore, our merchant fleet cannot pay it's way. The government helps, because American business requires sea transpor- tation for it's export trade, and because 1t is better to nave our goods carried un- der the American flag even if 1t costs more. The merchant fleet becomes a virtual arm of the navy and would be in- valuable in war time.
 Such help used to be disguised as pa. for carrying the mails. Now it is pait frankly as an outright subsidy, after the practice of other nations, Only one thing could change the need of that big growth in International trade.
