Skins Worry Despite
Cards Poor Record

Any one who witnessed the scor-
ing power and defensive strength
displayed by the Redskins in their
33-7 triumph over the favored Green
Bay Packers would not concede the
ott-beaten Chicago Cardinals much
OF a chance in the game here next
Sunday. The Tribal chieftains, how
ever, fear the Cards might prove the
medium of one of those stunning
upsets and are cautioning the world
champions against overconfidence.
Although the Cards have lost Mar
shall Goldberg, their ace; for weeks
to come, and the Redskins licked
them 1921 in the September 26 ex-
hibition at Buffalo, the Skins may
be in for rough afternoon at that,
for since then they have made re-
spectacle showings against the
Bears and Lions, holding the Bears
to scoreless first half and Detroit
to touchdown victory.
The Skins are due to have all
their strength available against the
Windy City crew, however. Bob Mas
terson insists his sprained ankle will
be ready for action. George Smith
and Steve Slivinski, who got in the
way of Green Bay cleats, will be
okay by Sunday, while Andy Farkas,
excused from a light workout yester-
day because of leg infection, also
will be ready.
The Skins may have let down
after their spirited game against
Green Bay, but it's hard to think
they could lose to the outfit the Car

Lucky in Firpo Fight

He was saying yesterday that he
was lucky against Firpo, that if his
sports writing friends hadn't lifted
him back into the ring Firpo would
have been the world heavyweight
champion. Such frank admissions
have doomed his popularity.
Dempsey never has complained of
the long count in the second Tunney
fight. 1T was just one ofthe breaks,
he says "Tunney fought a smart
fight" Tunney did fight smart
fight, retreating after being knocked
down and recovering his senses, but
the picture of Dempsey standing
there beckoning back-pedaling Gene
to close in and fight made Jack a
more glorious figure in defeat than
Tunney was in victory.
Dempsey never boxed anybody-he
fought them-and that's the reason
he stirred the Imagination of the
public. Tunney was the exponent of
the so-called manly art of self de
fense. Dempsey was brutal, vicious
and cruel but also courageous, ag
gressive and one of the few sports
figures to remain unspoiled after
reaching the heights.

the groin of a crippled attendant
and on another occasion sent a
camp hanger-on to a hospital for
a kidney operation as the result of

Dempsey's reputation as killer
stems from his fights with Jess Will
