Maybe it was worth all the sweat
and anxiety you caused Coach Ray
Tlaherty and some 1884 paying
spectators if you realize that Flah-
erty is right-there amt setup in
this whole gosh-darned league.
Perhaps "Pappy" Edwards isn't
wrong when he says an off, day
was bound to come up and now it's
out Of your systems you'll be better
ball team.
Just the same. hang onto those
good luck symbOlS-and to Sammy
Baugh! My, what predicament
you'd have been in yesterday if
Samuel Adrian hadn't been in there.
What was the score? 1921? And
Mr.. Singer pitched you to three of
those four touchdowns? huff sed.
Cards Vastly improved.
Sure, that was 100 per cent i'm
proved Cardinal team from that
which you slaughtered on the same
turf last year. Marshall Goldberg
really appeared an all-America,
their line wasn't bad and Jimmy
Councilman has that squad of 10
rockies and handful of leftovers
playing in manner which augurS
better things for Cardinal fans in
Chicago. Now that they've picked
up Jimmy German, their aerial
game should be much better and if
they can develop another line to
match the opposition's reserves
they'll do all right.
But, at that, you really shouldn't
have been pressed yesterday; you
just made it hard for yourselves
When you see teammate miss a
tackle or let runner slip out of
his grasp, the thing to do is to go
after the enemy yourself. not stand
around and cape as you did yester-
day
We noted that Vic Carroll seemed
especially and strangely inept, but
let's not go 700 hard on this young
man. After all, if you'd been ex-
pecting to become a papa for nearly
week, as Vic has. you might be
nervous and rather irresponsible,
too.
Fumbles, Penalties Hit Skins.
II you've noticed the statistics.
you must realize they don't portray
a true picture of the game You
outclassed the Cards in every de-
partment-first downs, yards rush.
Ing. puntlng. punt returns-and
fumbles and penaltiesl Seven times
your backs butter fingered the ball
and that they recovered all but one
tumble can't refute the fact that
you weren't the same smooth click

starts. AS for those penalties q. =.
they were all deserved, according to
no less authority than your own
coach.
On the short end of the score at
hall time for the first time here in
two years, the Redskins did an
about-face in the second and third
quarters to tie and win and hold the
rampaging visitors well away from
the Washington goal line. In con-

Cards never penetrated beyond the
Redskins 40-yard line in the second,

Indians woke up in time.
Aerials Dominate Play.
Aerial maneuvers dominated the
game, in fact they accounted for
6 of the touchdowns by both
teams. So it was only fitting that
the Redskins should tie the score
and win on as two pretty plays by
their ends as have been seen all
year. With the Tribe trailing, a.

Probably the biggest break of the
game for the Redskins came at the
most oppOrtune time. in the closing
moments of play. That was when
they were forced to punt on fourth
down, thus yielding the ball to the
Cardinals. But the Cards were de-
tected offside on the kick, the s.
yard penalty gave the Skins first
down and they were able to con-
sumo a full minute with running
plays, leaving the Cards but little
time for long, desperate passes
which proved futile.
Cards Pass Defense Strong.
The Cards weren't very long in
demonstrating that they are the
best pass-defense team in the
league, for Rookie Guard Joe Kuha-

The Redskins tied up in less than
NO minutes, Baugh passing to Todd
from deep in his own territory and
Dick sprinting "a yards for the
touch" In all, the play covered 81
yards. Two more posses from Baugh,
one to Masterson for a 39-yard gain
and another which caught Wilbur
Moore, who had been doing some
great blocking, in the end zone, put
the Redskins ahead, AT, but the
Cards tied it up on the only line
plunge for touchdown of the day.
Just before the first quarter ended,
the Cards reached the Redskins l.
