AS for the Redskins, personal

them onto the field tomorrow in a
far more pugnacious frame of mind
than otherwise might be expected
under the circumstances. The cir
cumstances. of course, are those

But because the runners-up In

anywhere from $l00 to $3.50 from
the wreckage Of an otherwise dis

BY AUSTIN BEALMEAR,


NEW YORK. Nov. 29-Nobody is
having more fun out OF the two
team race between the Chicago
Bears and the Green Bay Packers
in the Western division of the Ma
tional Professional Football League
than the New York Giants, who
have the Eastern title safely salted
away.
Lady Luck can't carry the ball
when the Giants meet the Western
winners in the annual playof game,
but she certainly sided with the
New Workers when the schedule was
drawn.
While the Packers and Bears are
banging into league foes tomorrow
in the next-to-last round of the
regular campaign. the Giants will be
taking it easy with timely open
date.
Then. if an upset doesn't hand
the Western crown TO one of the TWO
front runners. the Giants will en-
JOY another day of rest while the
Packers and the Bears mix with each
other in sectional playoff.
The team with the best chance
of forestalling a deadlock in the
West is Washington Redskin crew
which tangles with the Packers at
the National Capital in tomorrow S

Bears Invade Eagles Field.
1t will be the last game on the
regular schedule for the Packers
who could clinch tie for the West
ern title by tripping the Redskins
In the past two weeks. Washington
missed one chance to help the Pack
ers and another to help themselves,
by losing to the Bears and the
Giants on successive Sundays.
The Bears move into Philadelphia
tomorrow. seeking their ninth VIC
tory in 10 starts against the Eagles
who have had two-week rest. II
the Bears and Packers win tomor-
row. and not many believe they
won't. the Bears will need a victory
over the Chicago Cardinals the fol-
lowing Sunday to tie for the sec
tional flag.
At Brooklyn, the Dodgers are sci
for crack at the Pittsburgh Steel
ers, the team that knocked them out
OF the Eastern title fight. Brooklyn
is tied with Washington for second
place in the division standings, while
the Steelers are riding in the cellar
The Cardinals and the Detroit
Lions argue at Detroit over nothing
more important than third place ir
the Western section. Tomorrow
games will be the last for Pittsburgh
and Detroit. as well as for Greer
Bay. The Cleveland Rams wouno
up their schedule last Sunday.
Giants Finish With Dodgers.
In addition to the Bear-Cardina
struggle a week from tomorrow
when the regular season comes to 6
close, the Giants will collide with
the Brooklyn Dodgers in an effort tt
avenge an earlier defeat, and thu
