NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Heavy IA
vorites to lick the Giants and clinch
the Eastern division championship
in the pro football league, the Red
skins arrived here tonight facing
what probably will be their biggest
test of the year. A win or tie in
their 2:30 pm. game at the Polo
Grounds tomorrow and the Skins
will be In with the Eastern crown,
with only an exhibition game in
Washington December IL against
the Giants between them and the
playoff game against the Bears at
Chicago December 10. But a loss
to the Giants tomorrow in the first
meeting of the two clubs this year
would send the Giants to WASH
lngtOn next week favorites to re-
peat the stunt and force an Eastern
division playoff.
TomorroW's game is the payoff
the one the Redskins need so badly
1t hurts. They could have clinched
the Eastern title with a win over
the Philpitts, but they muffed the
chance and they come up to this
one with the same chance. Mean
while, in Philadelphia the Philpitts
meet the Green Bay Packers in
their last game of the schedule. A
Phllpitt win and a Redskin loss
would put the Philadelphia Pitts
burgh crew smack in the middle of
the picture, where another loss to
the Giants in Washington would
create a three-Way tie for the East
tern title. Plenty of ifs" ride on
every move made by the players
IN both Eastern games tomorrow.
