Maybe It was parting shot at
George Marshall on the part of Carl
| o. Storck when the latter drew up
the National Football Leagues 1941
schedule as his last official act as
president, for it's doubtful if a more
| difficult or unattractive list of games
for the Redskins could have been
arranged.
Difficult for the players in that
it calls for them to face the Brook
lyn Dodgers, world champion Chi
cago Bears and New York Giants in
three successive road games at the
end of the season before returning
home to meet the Green Bay
Packers.
And unattractive for local fans
because it calls for both of the
Indians leading Eastern rivals, the
Giants and the Dodgers, to play
here at the very outset of the season.
That not only leaves the Skins
without a major sectional home
game after October 5, but again
deprives local fans of being ain"
on any 1ate-season contests which
might decide the Eastern champion
ship.
Next fall will be the third success
sive season that the Redskins have
played the Giants and Dodgers in
their opening home games. Why
the Indians can't arrange to end
their campaign at Griffith Stadium
with either New York or BROOKLYN
instead of an Eastern team which
has finished at or near the bottom
of the division for years is an un-
answered question. And even though
Philadelphia is under new manage
ment and will have a new coach,
not even youthful Owner Alexis
Thompson expects Greasy Neal to
turn out championship contender
in his first year. Yet it will be
Philadelphia which will help ring
down the curtain here on Decem-
ber 7.
Washington fans won't be entirely
without big game in the waning
days of the season, for the Green

Grif1th Stadium on November 30.
The Skins have played road
games earlier than September % in
past years, but they say that their
inability to get in Griffith Stadium
before that date will delay their first
game two weeks later than usual.
The late start means that once their
league schedule has started, the
Redskins must play II straight
weeks without an off day.
And despite a strong belief that
the 1910 training season was too
long, resulting in the players reach
ing and passing their peak too soon
and leaving them stale by the time
of the playoff, no plans for curtail-
ing the conditioning period have
been made. Indeed, it will be one

But he couldn't straighten up
Tony and his right hand WASH t

After the scrap Louis said the
hand never had healed completely
from the ruckus with Simon two
weeks ago. That Music was a

Musto's first comment after reach

power bore out Louis statement.

said Music.

dressing room was Mrs. Music, who

Music related that much of his
trouble in the ninth was caused by
failure to insert his mouthpiece.
In an effort to protect his lips he
left the top of his face unguarded.
The cut above the optic was opened
in the seventh, was battered severely
in the eighth and proved his stop
light for Donovan at 1856 of the

to close the cut.
