May Not See Service
In Chicago Game
By BILL DISMER. Jr.,
Star Staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Nov. l5-Its up TO the
Redskins lesser -publicized backs if
last December's memorable smash
ing by the Chicago Bears is to be
avenged tomorrow.
Coach Ray Flahertys disclosure
this morning that the veteran Ed
Justice may not play at all against
the Bears means that unsung ball
carriers may come suddenly into the
spotlight.
Because Justices injured leg has
not rounded back into shape as
soon as expected. ne will be on the
bench at the start of the game to-
morrow while another GOnzaga
product, Ray Hare. takes over his
position at Wingback in Sammy
Baugh's backfeld. As a result OF
this last-minute shift, Rookie Lee
Gentry of Tulsa will be called upon
to play the inside blocking back in
Baugh's quartet.
Filchock to See Service.
Frank FilChock. apparently ready
to 90 despite the fact that his left
shoulder Will be heavily taped, will
take the field with new running
mates announced earlier this week
Bob Seymour at wingback. Rookie
Cecil Hare at the No. 2 spot and Roy
Zimmerman at fun. Andy Farkas,
incidentally, will start at fullback
for Baughs team, having shown
more drive and spirit in the last
two days workouts than at any
time this year.
With two such combinations. It's
entirely possible for new RedSkin
heroes to be produced tomorrow, for
Seymour Zimmerman and Ray
Hare will be in position TO star. as
/ they rarely have been before. Play
ing on the wing, Seymour and Hare
may have quite few passes tossed
their way. while Zimmerman will
be entrusted with punting duties for
probably half the game. They can't
be expected TO measure up to the
/ injured Wilbur Moore or Dick Todd,
but if they perform half as well,
that may be enough.
Skins Morale High.
Although the Redskins weren't
surprised to find themselves on the
short end Of the betting as they rolled
into town this morning, they re-
fused 10 act like doomed men and
observers were impressed by their
attitude. Following the Bears onto
Wrigley Field for a final work
out. the Indians went through their
laSt-mlnute PAGES in much the same
manner as they do every Saturday
during the season, and there wasn't
a trace Of 1870 buns" about them.
Naturally reluctant to talk about
their chances. the consensus seems
/ 70 be best expressed by Filchock.
who told this reporter: 1T looks
like we're up against il. crippled as
We are, but there are a heck of a
lot of us who honestly think we're
going to win"
Two Strong Lines.
Most Of the Redskins confidence
( comes from the belief that their two
lines, free from the injury jinX, will
stop the Bears vaunted power. de-
spite current records which show
four of ChiCago'S backs-George
McAfee, Bill Osmanski. Norman
Standlee and Hugh Gallarneau-to
be averaging better than four yards
per rush.
MLcAfee, who usually explodes for
at least one long run a game, has
the incredible average of "a yards
per attempt, but that figure is the
result of gains which have ranged
from 10 to SO yards Osmanski, who
probably carries the ball on line
plunges more than any other Bear,
is averaging 54, while the rockies
from StanfordS Rose Bowl cham
pions, Standlee and Gallarneau, are
averaging 48 and SO, respectively.
