That is that the club wont put

To Fight With Fire in Eyes
After Last Sundays JoIts
Once we get them disgruntled

once we get them disgruntled
our task will be considerably easier
I don't say we'll win merely by being
the first to score, but of the two
teams the Bears are more likely to
be depressed by being left behind
in the early going. In that respect
they're quite different from the Red
skins who appear to fight harder
and play their best when behind.
But I don't want to take any chance
of falling behind Sunday"
Whether Andy Farkas, whose
right knee was operated on Labor
Day eve. will play for the first time
this season Sunday will not be de-
termined definitely until after to-
morrow mornings workout. FarkaS
has been running rather well in
practice the last week or so, but
the little gameSter still isn't sure
whether his leg is sound for a big
test such as Sundays struggle is
destined to be.
Edwards May Be Inactive.
IF Farkas is restored to active
status one player must become in
eligible and. from the way it looks
TODAY, it may be Capt. Turk Ed
wards. Edwards still isn't any too
sure of his lame right leg and,
rather than part with any Of his
other 80 ablebodied players. Fla
herty may simply make Edwards in
active. OF course, if the big tackle
comes around this week or any time
before the season ends, another
player would be cut adrift.
In a way, the Redskins are better
off as a result of that defeat by
Brooklyn Sunday than they were
before Although they would be
Eastern champions today had they
won. the pressure definitely is off
and don't let any one tell you that
there isn't a pressure on an unde-
feated team. 1t sounds rather
ridiculous in view of what they did
in their first seven games, but the
Redskins should be a better ball
team from now on. Had they been
relaxed up at Brooklyn they un-
doubtedly would have won, for their
own tightness and inability to relax
produced too many fumbles for a
good team.
