NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Primed to
upset the Dodgers and thus retain
their newly acquired leadership OF
the Eastern division, the Redskins
made final preparations for tomor-
rows game behind closed doors to-
night, with plans for avenging last
wears 1914 setback at Ehbets Field
the central topic.
Ray Flaherty'S warriors will en-
ter their game across the Hudson
with a half-game lead over the ever
contending Giants. But another re-
versal like 1940's probably would
cost them the top rung of the Sec
tional ladder, inaSmuch as the New
Workers are favorites to turn back
the Detroit Lions in another league
game here at the Polo Grounds.
Stressing the fact that the Dodgers
would go "all out" in an effort to
keep from being practically elm
mated from the Eastern title chase,
Flaherty sounded a warning to the
Redskins to pay as much attention
to the Brooklyn ends as to the
enemys more highly touted backs
Ace Parker. Pug Manders. Dean Nc
Adams, Bill Leckonby, ct al. Cur
rent statistics show that three
Dodger ends-Perry Schwartz. Ed
die Rucinski and Herman Hodges
all have caught more passes than
Dick Todd, the Redskins chief re-
ceiver to date. Schwartz, an all
league selection last year. has car
ried two aerials to touchdoWns.
Dodgers to Alternate Backs.
Like the Redskins, the Dodgers
will alternate two complete back
fields during the game. A quartet
composed of Ben Kish, Parker,
Merlyn Condit and Manders will
start, while McAdams, Leckonby,
Ben Kish and George Kracum Will
take over at the start of the second
period.
McAdams, the rookie from Wash
ington, is reported completely re-
covered from a sprained ankle ana
the Dodgers are banking on his
punting ability to keep them out OF
trouble. Before being injured Nc
Adams had averaged sos yards on
II punts. Sammy Baugh, whose
brilliant kicking this season has
exceeded even his inimitable passing,
Is averaging 52.9.
On emerging from the last pre-
game huddle. Flaherty disclosed
that Joe Beinor, Notre Danes all
America tackle of 1898, who was
obtained via the waiver route from
the Chicago Cardinals only last
Thursday, probably would play a
portion Of the game.
"Beinor has been playing that
inside tackle post, at which we
intend using him, all along" Fla
herty explained. "and it hasn't been
hard for him to catch on to our
signals. If our tackles need bolster
ing he'll be In there"
Young Unlikely to Play.
Flaherty also said that Bill
Young, injured in Philadelphia three
weeks ago. would be available. II
possible, though, Flaherty will try
to get through the game without
tlUIltl ouIlS VI ot AiioA
giving them another weeks time to
strengthen their physical condition
and familiarity with new team
mates, respectively. Plans call for
the veterans Jim Barber and Bill
Wilkin to play the tackles for
frankie Filchock's team and for the
rockies, Fred Davis and Jim Stuart,
to be in the line when Baugh's team
Is in action.
Ed Justice, whose tendons in his
right leg were torn last Sunday,
accompanied his teammates here,
but may not even don uniform
tomorrow. Justice, like Young, is
needed more for the Bear game a
week hence than he will be tomor-
row and will sit this one out in
multi.
Game time is o'clock, with nearly
1000 Washingtonians scheduled to
be in the stands for the kickoff.
