CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Here are the
leading details of the Redskins de-
feat yesterday:
Washington was unable to go any
where after taking the opening
kickoff, and Baugh punted 43 yards
only to have Luckman overbalance
this with a 25-yard return to the
Redskin 43. 1t was on this play
that Baugn was hurt. An exchange
of kicks followed with the Bears
getting the ball on the Redskin 46,
from which point they made their
first threat. Luckman gambled a
bit when needing yards for a first
down on Washington's Sc, and his
pass to End Hampton Pool paid
off with 9yard gain. Three
Luckman passes missed their mark
and Bob Snyder came in apparently
to try field goal. Instead he
tried to cross up the Skins by pass
ing, but Cafego and Moore were
alert and busted 1t up to end Chi
cago's first foray into Washington
territory.
