Bears Next Sunday
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

rockies, the Redskins looked forward
today with more than hope and
a prayer toward the game next Sun
day against the ferocious Chicago
Bears, their traditional National
Football League enemies, in Balti-
more's down-at-the-heels Municipal
Stadium. But the air around the
Redskin camp caught no extended
cheers as the Tribe glanced over the
trouncing the Bears handed the
New York Giants in an exhibition
at Buffalo, and looked back on the
trimming they took yesterday at
Baltimore as the Green Bay Packers
came from behind to whip them,
1921, in the Stadium before some
10000 people.
Next Sunday will be our day."
said Redskin Prexy George Preston
Marshall, fresh from an argument

words of giving the Redskins the
worst of it in the fourth quarter of

didn't win because of that pass
interference which led directly to
field goal by Don Hutson, after the
Skins had tried pass on fourth
down. lost the ball and were
penalized to their own %, where
Tony Canadeo slanted to the IA and
Hutson stepped back and booted the
winning points from the 20.
Both Coach Bergman and Marshall
took heart from the showing of
rookie backs Jack Jenkins and Frank
Akins, and two new linemen-Tony
Leon and Al Fiorentino.
The game was thriller to watch
as the Packers scored in the first
three minutes on a power plav from
the 1-yard line by Fullback Ted
F'rltsch, only to have the Redskins
tie five and one-half minutes later
When Sammy Baugh tossed a. 25-

over the goal line. Late in the second
quarter the Redskins drove go yards
for another score to lead, 14-7. at
halftlme, with Farkas romping over
from the 7-yard line.
Packers Stage Comeback.
The Packers retaliated in the third
quarter, when they took Baugh

to Andy Uram who romped for a
touchdown. Alert Wilbur Moore.

blocked Hutsons placement and the
Redskins led 14-13.
Two minutes after the teams
changed goals for the fourth quar-
ter Fritsch grabbed a Baugh pass
out, of the arms of Masterson and
raced IS yards for another Green
Bay score. Hutson kicked the extra
point, making the score 2O-14. Then,
with the clock moving fast, and
Green Bay Tackle Chet Adams
missing a field goal attempt from
the As came the interference on
which Marshall yelled. 1t plainly
was interference, but Umpire Vim
cent stuck to his guns, Baugh tried
that pass on fourth down and Green
Bay took over. Hutson's 20-yard
boot through the uprights made the
score 1914.
But the world champs were far
from through. Bob McChesney,
who played an outstanding game
at end, took Baugh pass on the

4S, and Masterson took a shovel
pass and ran So years for a touch
down, kicking the extra point (his
third of the day., and the Redskins

Late Bid Is FoiIed.
Canadeo ran the kickoff back to
the Green Bav "a as the clock
licked the seconds away and the
Redskins charged frantically. The
game ended with Hutson intercept
ing Baugh toss intended for End
Joe Aguirre on the Green Bay 40
yard line.
The Redskins have dropped two
tough ones, to great All-Star team
in Chicago, PIT, and to Green Bay.
But by the time the chips are down
and the boys play for keeps the
Skins probably will be ready.
Ten thousand service men were
in the stands, guests of the teams.
The same number will see the Bears
game.
The Redskins lost even in the sta
tlstical department. The Packers
outrushed them SO yards to II. out

and passing and in yards passing
