crowd which turned out to see the
Bears slaughter the Giants Novem-
Der IA will be topped by the football
mad crowd gathered to see the
Giants and Skins in their last sched-
uled New York game of the year
The Eagles may top their all-time
record attendance of near 10000
established November 7 when they
tied the Skins.
Redskin Coach Bergmans team
comes up to the climax game of the
Eastern title chase minus an out
standing guard, and with a star
tackle and end in questionable con-
dition. Bob Masterson, crack enc
and potent point after-touchdoWr
specialist, has come up with a cold
in addition to bad ankle. but prob
ably will start. Willie Wilkin, NAM
moth tackle, is not in the best OF
shape. All-league Guard Dick Far
man is out. probably for the rest OF
the season, with an injured nerve.
But that flrst-string backfield OF
Ray Hare, Sammy Baugh, Wilbur
Moore and Andy Farkas is ready
The Giants have been more success
full than any other club in stopping
Baugh's touchdown heaves. In IL
Redskin-G Giant games played since
1886, when the Skins came to Wash
tngton from Boston, the Giants have
won seven, lost four and one ended
in an 90 tie. The Giants, with vet
Grams Tuffy Leemans, Ward Cuff,
Hank Soar and Leland Shaffer
proving the backf1eld, have bottled
up Sammy better than any other
pro outfit.
Passers on the other side of the
line. heaving footballs for the Goth
antics, will be Leemans. and Emory
Nix, the latter another Texas Chris
tan product. who followed Baugh
at the Fort Worth school by several
years. Two men who starred in foot
ball around Washington are stand
outs on the Giant team. fluffy Lee
mans Of George Washington Uni
versity, and AL Blozis, Georgetown
University giant, play halfback and
tackle for the New York crew
coached by Steve Owen.
Redskins 5-to-3 Favorites.
Key to the Redskin success, or
lack Of it, can be Baugh. The tall
Texan, needing 10 competitions in
the next two games to lead the
league in passing efficiency, can have
a big day against the Giants, al
though 1t is unlikely he can top Sid
Luckman's record of % touchdown
passes this year or Sid's ground gain
ing by passes. Sammy needs scor-
Ing passes to top Luckman. AS
Baugh goes so 90 the Redskins.
The gamblers are offering 5 to 3
the Redskins come up with a win
tomorrow, although there's the usual
street corner conversation that the
thing is in the bag for the Giants
That, Of course. is pure hokum. II
ever football team will go all out
to win ball game the Redskins will
do 1t tomorrow. They've put them
selves on the spot and they know it
Probable line-ups:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-12-05

The season is open in all counties
but only those three northwestern
sections and in Worcester County
on the Eastern Shore are deer
plentiful. Hunters are limited tc
one deer season and this year
must use a rife which develops a
muzzle energy of at least 1,2O0-foot
pounds. Shotguns loaded with the
so-called pumpkin ball also are per-
mitted. More than 400 deer were
killed in Maryland last year and
State officials expect at least that
many this season.
The Virginia deer season ended
this week but no reports of the
total kill are available. Frederick
County reported 80 shot there.
Duck hunters still are hamperec
by good weather-which is boo,
weather for duck hunters-but in.
creasingly larger flights are arriv.
ing in most sections. Big con.
gregations are reported on the Sus.
quehanna and in Nanjemoy, but
they mostly are rafting in midrive,
and feeding on wild celery on the
flats, entirely out of range. Shoot
ing is getting better in the Back
Bay area of Virginia and large ar.
rivals were noted this week of can.
vasbacks, redheads and pitfalls, with
a smattering of mallards and black
ducks.
The waterfowl population, too, is
very good in the Currituck section
OF North Carolina, with an un.
usually large number of geese or
hand.
Upland game hunting continues
only fair. Plenty of quail ane
rabbits are around, but for some
reason hunters aren't doing toc
well.

Reasons for the upswing are at

BALTIMORE. Dec. 4-The
City Park Board is ready to well
come any one with about 100000
and a desire to seek franchise
in the National Professional
Football League, but members
would limit contracts for the
Municipal Stadium to four or
five years.
Two groups previously inter-
ested in backing a Baltimore pro
club have displayed little or no
interest in the Park Board de-
cision, one syndicate saying that
it might require Is years to get
the investment back.
Park Board members said they
had not given up the idea of

CHAPTER EIGHT

PAIGE WAS glad when the fog
lifted enough for them to sail. They
had been delayed an hour as 1t was.
An hour that had thwarted her
cagerness to leave their quarters
and search for Eugenia. Even
though the slightly chinless white
and pink face had attract Paige,
1t was the bronze sequin- balled hat
pin, so Inappropriate at midday,
that made her certain of her suspi-
cions. Somehow the blond girl had
managed to obtain passage on the
overcrowded ship.
While they slowly throbbed away
from the pier, Rusty leaned lazily
on the lanai rail and stared down
into the water. Paige also leaned
there, silent, her head turned away
from Rusty, who, now that their
guests had gone, was glumly I'M
laxative. No longer was he putting
on his act of a devoted bridegroom.
He still held a glass of champagne
IN one hand and a cigaret in the
other.
Ships bells sang out their rather
mournful, but musical, ding-dong-
ing as they slowly eased past the
San Francisco wharves and made
their way out into the bay and on
beneath the magnificent arch of the
Golden Gate bridge. San Francisco
appeared to be made Of layers; its
skyline was like an etching of an
ancient Old World city.
Quite suddenly Rusty spoke,
