Skins Thinking Of BeaI
Game, but Coaches
Focus on Lions

With their squad at peak efficiency
for the first time in five games, the
Redskins hope they'll come out OF
Sundays scrap against the Detroit
Lions sans major injuries. The fol-
lowing Sunday they'll face the big,
bad Chicago Bears in the clutch
game of the local pro pigskin season
and they want to be at their best
1t isn't that the Skins don't antic-
ipate lively afternoon against Lion
frankie Sinkwich and his team
mates, but the Bears are something
apart, In the Redskin book, from
other teams. For one thing the
Bears whipped them in an exhibition
game in September. For another the
Redskins, on their way to the East
ern title, want that game to stay
well on top. And for another they
love to lick the Bears.
Among the players who, by the
way, do not take victory over the
Lions for granted, most of the con-
versation is about the Bears. But it
isn't so between Coaches Bergman
and Edwards. They realize they have
tough one coming up Sunday, and
are pointing for that scrap, content
to take care of the Bear game later
Gus Dorais Hion COACH always
comes up with some tricky stuff, "
said Bergman. I'VE have to be ready
for anything against team coached
by him, and particularly with such
a good back as Sinkwich. That
Lion game can be tough. We could
lose it,"
| Andy Farkas, who played only a
few minutes in that bruising tie with
the Philpitts last Sunday, Is ex-
pected to be in shape for the Lions
Andy has been nursing bad leg
for several weeks.
Detroit is a lateral-minded team
which should be duck soup to the
crashing Redskin line. The Lions
in 8 games have gained 1876 yards
by laterals Washington has gained
none by this route. Detroit also is
the surest ball-handling club in the
league, having committed only 7
fumbles, despite an intricate attack
involving multiple passes

Rider Cause Is Hurt
By Ailments Of Two
Key Performers
BY GEORGE HUBER,

High school championship football
| competition moves into the bigtime
setting Of Griffith Stadium tonight
for the game between Coolidge, un-
defeated series leader, and Roose-
velt, winner of four of it's five series
tests
Both are strangers at the top
Coolidge, youngster of the Districts s
high schools, has been allowed to
play football for only two years
while Roosevelt until recently has
been the perpetual easy mark for the
others. This year they are on top,
however, and deservedly so. Good,
straight football-no tricks or fancy
plays-have put them there. Roose-
welt used the single wing and un-
balanced line formation while Cool
idge counters with another old
standby, short punt formation and
balanced line.
Records Give Coolidge Edge.
The comparative records make
Coolidge the favorite. The Colts have
lost this year only to George Wash
ington. while sweeping over such
others as WaShington-Lee, Central,
Tech and Anacostia. Coach Gil
Conn has developed a potent COM
bination of scorers in the backf1eld.
There's Addy Bassin, quarterback
and speedster of note. He's a dan
gerous breakaway runner and an ex-
cellent pass catcher.
The Colts have one who can pass
to Bassin, too, in John Schullen-
barger, team captain. The Schullen-
barger to-Bassin aerial combination
is bad news for the opposition and
already this season has been re-
sponsible for six touchdowns, not to
mention numerous other long gains.
Speed and passing are balanced by
Dick Bergman, plunger who usual
ly can get that extra foot or yard
needed. Completing Coolidge's start
ing backfleld tonight will be Jim
Bassinger in the blocking back posi-
ton.
The Colts have a good sized line
ahead of these backs. with the
guards, Frank Cullers and Ray Har-
rison, particularly outstanding.
Two Rider Stars Ailing.
But Roosevelt too has a good team,
although two of its key players are
on the sick list. Bunny Citrembaum,
fullback. is out with the grippe. and
Ed Mif11in, halfback may miss be-
cause of damaged leg. Even II he
PLAYS he may not have his usual
power as a blocker nor his usual
skill as paSSer.
Irv Morris will be present, how
ever, and Morris is plenty of football
player with his plunging, running
and kicking. Other backs listed by
Coach Artie Boyd are Dan Swan,
John Moore and Lou Limher Roose-
velts line may be slightly heavier
than Coolidge's, and particularly is
strong on the ends where sgd Dra-
zin and Wes Dodge operate.
Tonight's game, which starts at
$50, will be surrounded by several
entertainment features. The public
address system will be in operation
and the high schools have recogni-
zed the Importance of the occasion
by providing printed programs.

on the football-toting ability OF
frankie. Released by the marines
because of fiat feet, heart murmur
and high blood pressure, Sinkwich
rates fifth in ball carrying in his
first year as pro, not too bad in
much tougher league than that in
which he piled up his record of 2,187
yards gained for Georgia last year.
With only two games left on the
Lion schedule he won't come any
where near that record, but for a
guy released for physical reasons by
the marines he hasn't done badly
He has carried the ball 81 times for
238 yards and an average of 2.9. 1t
doesn't look too good against the
ball carrying of Dante Magnani of
the Bears, who has averaged 81
yards in 80 attempts, but the Bear
line opens big holes for its ball
toterS.
In the passing department Frankie
has heaved the oval 100 times for
81 competitions and total gains of
509 yards, which makes his total
yardage gain TAT yards. On the
record he isn't the football player
that is Sammy Baugh, but he did all
right in the financial department
and without him the Lions might
not have won the three victories
they've scored in eight starts. They
we're pretty sad last year.
