Now comes further word of Helens
success as a golf pro. She is to be

New York weather reports indi-
Gated it would rain today, but be

For in their game here, the
Dodgers appeared threatening only
when Parker fired the ball through
the ozone, but what threat that
was! And with fine end like Perry
Schwartz ready to snag 'em, it's
been no come-on that the Brooklyn
fans have been sold on the idea that
their team stands chance of turn
ing the tables on the Redskins.
Statistics, however, all are in favor
of the Redskins, who, despite the
tact they have played one less game
than the Dodgers, have completed
more passes for more yardage, out
rushed them by more than 400 yards
and granted the opposition some
700 yards less ground. And the
Redskins 1874 points in seven games
gives them an average of 10 a game,

1t isn't exactly a 100 per cent
physically perfect Redskin team
that encounters the Dodgers, but,
barring additional breaks against it,
one that should return a winner.
That Redskin line should turn the
tide in favor of the Washingtons,
while Halfback Keith Berlin. only
three days ago obtained from the
Chicago Cardinals, is said to have
caught on to the Redskins system
sufficiently to be entrusted with
some blocking duties. It's only in
blockers that the Redskins are de-
ficient, but Erny Pinckert, Red Nor

rida and Berlin are ready to divide
the burden in that department.

be left at home in an effort to have

Struggle Between Bears
And Lions May Bring
Western Deadlock
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Preceded by an advance guard
estimated in the hundreds and cog
infant that thousand or more will
follow with the l00-piece Indian
bedecked band, the Redskins were
scheduled to leave town late this
afternoon for one of the two most
crucial games in the National Foot
ball League tomorrow.
With more vocal support assured
than at any out-of town game with
the exception of that at New York,
the Redskins will face a rejuvenated
Brooklyn team still nursing the be-
lief that it stands a chance for
Eastern championship honors.
Although the Dodgers record
shows three defeats. all have come
at the hands of powerful foes-the
Giants, Detroit Lions and Red
skins. If they can atone for that
Alb walloping handed them by the
Redskins at Griffith Stadium last
month and lick the Giants (who
defeated them only 7-6) in their re-
turn game on November IS, Ace
Parker & Co. really will be in the
running again.
The dope, however, calls for the
Eastern division still to be cooled
after tomorroW's game by the Red
skins and Giants. who should hand
the Chicago Cardinals their eighth
defeat in nine games.
Tie Also Looms in West.
Out West, though, the situation may
be tied up tighter than drum after
the important Chicago Detroit
Lion game at Detroit. If the Bears
as Redskin Coach Ray Flaherty has
predicted, upset the once-beaten
Lions, the Western Division also will
have pair of co-leaders, for the

II He Becomes Sheriff

My scouts could not make out
what Cunningham was doing on
this play. Neither could Nebraska.
Suffice it to say that he was up to
no good and that Christman has
promised, if elected sheriff, to get to
the bottom of the matter.
Christman, the orator, also is a
passer Of considerable accuracy. Ru-
NOR has 1t that he trains his eye by
trap-shooting in practice. A stoog
hurls a ball in the air, and the
silent Dane, standing some 80 or 40
yards away, shoots at it with a ball
of his own, as long as pigs are in
season. He has brought down doz-
ems Of footballs in this manner, the
largest of which was stuffed and
hung over the fireplace in his tro-
ply room.
