WASHINGTON L|NEMEN GAINED. UPSET OF YEAR
Redskins "SpOt" Vaunted Grid Foe 6 Points, Then
 Win I4-6 Before 3O,OO6
BY LEO H. PETERSEN limited Press Shorts EAltnrl

Washington, Dec. I4-(UP)-Tht wartime fate of professional foot ball may be deciScd here today.
 If pro football should fall vic- tim of the manpower shortage the champions for the duration will be the Washington Redskins, for a IA to triumph over the Chicago Bears gave them the title yesterdey and probably will go down in the record books as the biggest upset the sport ever has known.
 There was feeling of r,essiEliSm as the owners and coaches opened their annual business meeting to settle the question Of what to dc next year. but nothing they decide can overshadow what the Redskins did in breaking the best winning streak in professional football his- tory.
 Left No Doubt
 For, like 24 other ball clubs be- fore them, the Redskins were sup posed to be embarrassed in the tilt. But instead of becoming the 25th victim of the Bear winning streak, which started back in November, 1941, they won the championship in Q manner that left no doubt as to the superior ball club.
 The Bears have been a super bah club for so long 1t was hard for tn 35,o06 fans who damned Griffitl Stadium to believe that they finalt had been beaten. But beaten they were and by team that on yester- day, at least, was probaly as good as any that ever ran onto grid- iron.
 The Bears were SO bewildered at the way the Redskins operated that they didn't display their usual power until the final quarter and by that time 1t was too late for the Redskins, out to win this game more than any other, were playing their game of the year.
 It was battle of lines and the Washington. forwards came of with the laurels. They not only out played the vaunted Bear line but they out-roughed them, too. That is something that hasn't happened to a Bear team in a long time.
 Behind that fighting Redskin line the Washington backs did yeoman work. Not even the playing of Slingin' Sammy Baugh overshad- owed that of his other teammates. There weren't any individual stars on this Washington club for 1t was strictly a team proposition.
 Bears Scored First
 For a while 1t looked like the Bears might make 1t @ repetition of that i940 rout. Lee Artoe scoopcd up Dick Todd's tumble early in the second quarter and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. But in- stead of discouraging the Redskins It only served to make them fight harder.
 They came right back and Baugh threw a long pass to Wilbur Moore on the goal inc and when Bob Mas .erson converted the Redskins went ahead, 2 to 6, for Artoe had missed the conversion after his score.
 That would have been enough but the Redskins aded seven more points in the third period with Andy Farkas personally conducting the scoring march. He carried the ball nine times and on his ninth trip went over. Masterson again converted.
 Twice in the fourth period the Bears drove dep into Washington once to the l0-yard line and again to the one foot line. Bu each time the Redskin lire wa equa Ito the occasion and hurlee the Bears back.

One More Such Victory
philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
How many victories will John L. Lewis be
able to windy pointing a gun at the American
people during wartime?
Rather than interrupt coal production in this
crisis, the Southern Coal Producers Association, at
the request of President Roosevelt has agreed to re-
bate to some rs 600 biuminous coal miners the sum
of $2OO0O0 levied against them breach of contract
in taking part in the captive mine strike last No
vember.
The 900 miners have gon on 'vacation"-their
polite for wakout-in protest over the levy
ing of these fines (of less than SO per mani.
Last Friday the Record declared the Lewis could
end the strike, could keep production gong-if he
wanted to.
Lewis has proved that were rightly now or
dering the miners back to work. after he had forced
both the Government ami the operators to give in
to his demands.
Yes Lewis got away with the captive mine strike,
too Maybe he will get away with some more black
lacking of nation at war
But eventually there will be a reckoning. Event
ualy the time will come when the American people
will hold John L. Lewis accountable for something
that comes too close to sabotage for American lead
ers to countenance
If the American people here at home do not do
something about it beforehand the boys at the fight

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, JULY "a

Adverse planetary influences dom
mate today. Labor comes under
threatening portents. This is a
date for cautious decisions.
HEART AND HOME: Girls should
avoid frivolous gaieties this evening,
if the stars are rightly read. Through
coming weeks vanity should be
curbed for war work will cease TO
be mere pastime. The wearing
of uniforms now will become
serious responsibility. All the signs
seem to indicate conditions th;.t
presage many changes in the Amer
lean outlook upon life. Victory of
the United Nations is prophesied
but it will be delayed through a
period in which women will devel-
OPP splendid courage and great forti-
tude.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Success
for places of amusement is forecast.
The quest for recreation will be
general as desire to forget war hor-
rors is emphasized. Music will gain
in popularity and song writer's as
we'll as band leaders will prosper
through coming weeks. The sense
of plenty will be prevalent for good
harvests will be encouraging, al
though insects will destroy many
growing things causing losses for
farmers.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Educators
will fear that schools and colleges
will lose many students as draft
laws encompass thousands Of class
room age. The stars presage anx-
ious times for many institutions of
learning Girls will outnumber boys
in state universities where technical
knowledge will be sought by stu
cents of both sexes. Famous for
eign scholars will be added to fac
Mites in many American colleges
and will be sought by high schools,
it is predicted.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
In the South American countries
there are signs indicating advance
ment in hemisphere solidarity
Pressure from Axis powers may be
strong but there are benefic aspects
promising prosperous conditions to
which the United States and other
Allies contribute. Danger to the
Suez Canal is forecast. Sabotage
is indicated as a possibility. The
locks should be especially guarded.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a fortunate
year but disappointment in love
affairs may be experienced by men
in uniform.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be kindly and affectionate
in human relations. They will be
talented and able to win success.

"Top-Kick" Rommel
philadelphia Record


Had Romme been born in England, he would
now be Sergeant Rommel, not Field Marshal.
1t is coincidence that this same thought occurred
almost at the same time to two Brtishers, speaking
in different cities.
Almost the same thing could be said had Rommel
been American.
OF course there exceptions-some notable
ones But by some quirk in military and naval ira
diton it has long been difficult for an enlisted man
to win promotion in the commissioned service.
We are glad much of this moth -eaten barrier has
been swept aside especially in the Army
Why isn't Romme still sergeant-as this Ger
man conqueror CT Libya would have been in Kaiser
Wilhelm's army? Simply because the German army
today had to be built from scratch The few mon
ocled social lions left in the defeated German army
of 1918 were either stripped of their gold braid OF

For virtually four weeks before its capture by a
superior German force, a modest garrison of Rus
sian soldiers and marines .,ed Seyastopol When the
fortress was finally taken it not surrendered The

BACK BREAKERS

An American diplomat returning

about the true sentiments of the
Italian people.
In his office at the U. S. EN-
bassy in Rome one day he found
a clerk, an Italian girl, crying
When he inquired what was wrong,
she replied: "Oh, I'm ashamed 10
be an Italian. You remember what
boasting the Fascists did about the
Greek campaign? They said, We
will break their kidneys. But ev-
erybody knows who really beat the
Greeks; it was not our army; t
vas the Germans. But now-havc
you seen the poster on the streets
this morning?" And the girl broke
into tears again.
The diplomat looked outside at
tne poster, which that day was APP
pearing all over Italy. 1t showed

with a steel bar across his back.
on top of the bar was the Fascist
insignia, and on the side, the swas-
tika.
The caption read: I'VE said we
would break their kidneys. Mus
solini is always right"
Note All reports from Italy tell
OF a growing disgust with the Mus
solini government, and a growing
hatred oil the Germans. But the
people are too cowed to revolt.
