Redskin Line, RemindfuI of AZ,
Holds Key to Title Triumph

stroll when everybody Is looking for
some other back to pop up with 1t,
and II he strolls too far it means
six points and sometimes the ball
game.
You can check the records and
verify this, but the Redskins two
setbacks in league play this season
were in games in which the line
failed to come through. In the
games they won the front-liners
were on the ball when the chips
were down, holding the rival ball
carriers well in hand.
I'VE have only ourselves to blame
for that Philadelphia defeat" Earl
Audet told us. Il don't think the
line was right that day. We weren't
loafing exactly but neither were we
charging the way we should. The
Eagle linemen are fast and shifty
and If you don't hit 'em just right
they slide of and get through
That's what happened to U.s."
Close observers who've been
watching Turk Edwards latest mas
terpiece develop are beginning to
compare it with the 1912 line, that
probably was the finest in Redskin
history. That year the club had
two complete lines which shuttled
on and of the field as regularly as
train service, and the opposition,
consequently, had to look at fresh,
sturdy rival the full go minutes.
But those boys had their of days.
Some took it easy, putting forth
only as much energy as the occasion
demanded, and you may remem-
Der 1t took a field goal by Bob
Masterson in the last few seconds
of play to nose out fair Phila-
delphia eleven, 1927. But in the
title clash with the Bears the line
had full command Of the situation,
and practically wore itself out
chasing Sid Luckman back for huge
losses. For. a while it seemed that
Luckman was going to wind up in
the bleachers.
That line was big, tough, rugged
and. when 1t wanted to be, willing.
This 1915 edition is modelled along
the same lines. 1t can win this
game If it has mind to.
