them to get too close to him. Hen
icle, unable to get out in front be-
cause of Sachon's threatening. pres
ence, had to follow his interference
and check his gait. AS a conse-
quence Joe Guyon had time to come
up from the rear and bring Henicle
down with knee-high tackle.
At that time it didn't seem to
make much difference. but, as the
final figures indicate, that one play
preserved the Redbirds' unblemished
record and Sachon deserves recogni-
ton for his clear thinking and
quick action on the play.
Richardson Sparkles.
Billy Richardson of George WASH
ington is another who gets a nod
because Of his building up for the
touchdown toss to Bob Nowaskey
in Friday nights -tinglng
fray with Clemson. It was early
in the third period after the Co.
lonials had received the ball on
their IS. Richardson heaved a lazy
pass to Walt Fedora in the fla:
to the left of the line and the
latter fought his way through a
swarm of Clemson men for IL yards.
Richardson called for the same
set-up on the next play and this
time the Tiger forwards fairly
swarmed all over Fedora.
But it was no lazy pass Richard
son tossed to Fedora, but screaming
fiat peg that wh;stled over the CEN
ter of the line and into Bob Nowas-
keys waiting hands. Johnny Picco
crossed over from the opposite side
of the line to block out the half
back and Nowaskey was away on
his 40-yard touchdown run. Rich
ardson's injury after leading an
assault that brought the Colonials
to Clemson's 10-yard line was un-
fortunate, for it appeared that
the District eleven would surely
score.
Clemson showed one of the finest
offensives in the East, at least, and
possibly in the country, with Banks
McFadden and "Shad" Bryant in
the lineup, and the 66-yard quick
kick Banks got of in the final
period was a thing Of beauty. 1t
was the kind rarely seen even in
pro ranks. The presence of this
pair on the field simultaneously
made Bob Nowaskey look bad, for
they galloped around his flank time
and again for sizable gains, but
Nowaskey actually was only follow
ing instructions from the bench.
Nowaskey Did His Work.
Clemson would hit the line, then
lateral to either McFadden or Bryant
on plays that would catch any or
dinary defense flat-footed, hence
was crashing in to make
Clemson show its hand as early as
possible. Frequently he and Frank
August, whose line play at times was
brilliant, smeared the play before it
was under way and when Clemson
did swing around end any gain was
the defensive halfback's fault. He
should have come up faster.
Bob Spencer's return to George
towns lineup spells trouble for
Maryland this week, for the big half
back comes back at q time when
Jack Hagerty can best use him. BY
the same token, the Hoyas are
anxiously awaiting the final report
on Mearle Du Wallis leg, wondering
whether he'll be In there tossing
those fat but dangerous balloons In
their midst.

Philadelphia Eagles.
paorS nuflac< Do knre

The most colorful battle of the day
went to the Chicago Bears, who out
lasted the Green Bay Packers, 30
to 27.' Four times the Packers took
the lead and the same number of
times the Bears, using ground and
air plays with equal effectiveness,
came back to tie or 60 ahead. They
finally went ahead to stay on Bill
Osmanskis touchdown midway of
the fourth quarter. The victory put
the Packers a full game behind the
Lions and left them only q half
game ahead of the third-place Bears.
The fourth game of the Sunday
slate went to Cleveland. The Rams
defeated the hapless Chicago Cards,
IA to 0, on a muddy field. It was
the Cards seventh defeath in eight
games. Pittsburgh and Brooklyn
were rained out and will play to-
night at Brooklyn.
