never-say-die Rams in the dying
moments of the game by intercept

into the game to lab just the kind
of a pass down the center lane he
figured Hall would toss.
But if we had to vote for an out
standing Redskin, it would be Ray
Hare. the blocking back in Baugh's
backfield who was in the Rams hair
every minute he was in the game.
1t was Hare who was breaking up
passes or tackling receivers almost
the split second they made catches
and when he tackled EN-, brother,
they stayed tackled. Once Hare
carried the ball for a 5-yard gain,
but he wouldn't have had to touch
the ball to earn his salary yesterday.
Todd's Run High Spot.
Hall. incidentally, was the only
Ram back able to complete a pass
He threw 26 of the SO tossed by his
team and was credited with all II

hand, raised his average by COM

The most brilliant individual play
of the game was Todd's 71-yard

George WaShlngton's unhappy Co

again this week as they turn their
attention to Friday nights game
with Clemson at Griffith Stadium.
Coach Bill Reinhart's crew had
hopes of catching the Tigers nap
ping, or at least not in a vicious
mood and figured that with little
extra oomph on its part it might
make respectable showing against
the Southern Conference champions,
but what happens. Nothing. only
Clemson goes and gets itself bumped
off by South Carolina and probably
will arrive here with murder in its
heart and give the G. W.'s their
worst shellacking of the season.
The Tigers took their defeat by
the Gamecocks as one of those
things that happen to every good
football team. South Carolina got
the Jump and while Clemson was
coming strong at the finish it didn't
have enough time to overtake its
rival. There still is plenty of power
in the Tiger backfield and anybody
thinking Booty PAYNE. Charley
Timmons, Harry Franklin, Sid

Clemson came through the game
without serious injury and will have
eight days rest before mixing with
the Colonials and should be ready
to go at top speed.
George Washington hopes to be
ready for the game. but Reinhart

10 win a game by the margin of at
least a touchdown. They haven't
done it yet. but inasmuch as only
the Bears, Packers and Giants have
better records than Ray Flaherty's
Tribe. one can't find too much fault
with the current Indians. But the
way they're winning this season pos
itlvely is eXasperating.
Yesterday. for example, the 1880
customers at Griffith Stadium had
early visions of the Skins regaining
their scoring ways of 1910 when they
averaged four touchdoWns game
for the first two months of the CAM
paign.
Yet when the final gun barked, the
point lead for the second time in
three weeks. and the throng left the
park more impressed with the come
back qualities of Dutch Clark S
Cleveland Rams than with the Red
skins fourth successive victory. The
ecore was 17-13, the four-point diff
ference equaling the Redskins
greatest margin to date, Two weeks
ago they had the Pittsburgh Steelers
24-7 at one stage of the game, but
the flnal score was 24-20.
Let-down Irks Flaherty.
F1ahertv didn't know whether to
grin or look grim after the game.
He knows. of course, that a 20
point margin counts no more than
. 1-point win, but just the same
he'd like to have his charges win
one game in which suspense was
not sustained until the final second.
II don't know what to do with
'em,' Flaherty said hopelessly.

you've lost your stride, it's the hard

For half. as Flaherty pointed
out. the Redskins played like cham
pions. They charged hard. their
fackling was clean and fierce, their
blocking was inspired and-thanks
to Bob Masterson's 24-yard field
goal, Dick Todd's sensational IL
