Invaders Record Isn't

Can Be Dangerous

Come what may Sunday when
they meet the Chicago Cardinals on
the home lot, the Redskins are IN
the finest physical condition they've
been in for the stretch drive since
DOC" Mauro took command Of the
squads health department.
Steve Slivinski has a swollen knee
and hasn't been able to work at all
this week, and Johnny Kovatch was
in bed two days with a cold, but
otherwise the Skins are shipshape
for what promises to be a gruelling
finish. At this stage Of the campaign
the Tribe usually has three or four
key men in sick bay but fortune
seems to be with them this year for
they have needed all their man.
power to remain on top in the East
ern division.
George Smith, still recuperatlng
from a knee operation, is the only
serious casual.
Game Is Genuine Test,
Sundays game is the last real test
for Ray Flaherty's crew. The Cards
record is nothing to boast about but
1t is one of those teams that can be
troublesome on warm afternoon.
It has good passer in Bud SchWenk,
one of the circuits best running backs
in "Biggie" Goldberg and is handled
by one of the games smartest
coaches, Jimmy Councilman. It's a
combination that adds up to trouble
in any company.
The Tribes complement has been
reduced by the loss of Johnny Good
year, rookie back from Marquette,
who has been called to active duty
by the Army Air Corps. Picked
eighth by Flaherty on the strength
of scout reports and eloquent recon-
mendations, Goodyear failed to at
tain the goal set for him. 1t is pos
sible that he had more important
things on his mind. such as the
Army, but he was a much better
player than he showed with the
Tribe.
Not Serious Loss.
Johnny's departure will not affect
seriously the teams plans, as
Flaherty is relying more and more
on veterans to see the club through
the final stages of its drive to the
Eastern title and has relegated back
field rockies to minor roles. Good
years going, however, reduces the
roster to 80 men, one under the
legal limit.
Meanwhile, league statistics reveal
Washington and Green Bay own the
best balanced attacks in their re-
spective divisions, although Green
Bay has the leagues most effective
ground-gaining machine. The Pack
ers, still very much in the race
for the Western division crown, have
gained an even 1924 yards, rolling
up 1,206 through the air, while
Washington has 1906 to its credit
and the Bears 2,013. #%
Green Bay, however, lacks the

have gained 944 yards rushing and
