Although Sammy Baugh made a
noble effort to pull yesterdays game
out of the fire in the same manner
in which he earlier had tied the
| score, there is no question that the
better team on the field won. The
Dodgers line. led by its all-League
choices. Tackle Bruiser Kinard and
End Perry Schwartz, outcharged the
, Redskins, while Ace Parker, Pug
/ Manders. Bill Leckonbv and Dean
McAdams proved to be three more
good backs than the Redskins could
produce
Figures Favor Dodgers.
Possibly the best illustration Of
the difference between the teams is
shown in the statistics. which record
the Dodgers outruShing the Red
skins. 10 yards to As. while practi-
cally holding their own in the aerial
game A blocked punt gave Brooklyn
its first scoring opportunity, but it
won the game on a sustained ST.
yard drive during which the Red
skin line crlmbled. In addition. the
Skin forwards were not giving
Baugh their usual protection on his
passes and the fact that the Singer
completed II out Of Is is more than
ever tribute to his exceptional
skill.
Big Bill wilkins anxiety to get
down the field under one of Sam
my's punts caused him TO leave a
hole too soon in the first quarter
and when he did. Klnard got
through almost unmoleSted to block
the kick. which went outside Just 13
yards from the Redskins goal. 1t
took the Dodgers just three plays
to score from there, Manders going
through the Redskins left end and
tackle on the first play OF the second
period
Despite a doWnpour which fell
during the first half. Baugh gave
the crowd Of BIB a real thrill fol-
lowing the ensuing kickoff when he
completed two long passes to tie the
score. The first caught Wayne Mill
ner on Brooklvn'S 45, the veteran
fankman streaklng 33 yards to the
Dodger IL before being caught, and
the second, two PLAYS later, was
taken by Bob Seymour in the end

passes in the coffin corner quelled
the first threat. while Cece Hare and

Leckonby's 20-yard return of

the Dodgers game winning drive.

Leckonby intercepted one intended
for Millner and it was all over but
