CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-You'd think
a pro-football team humbled by
Cleveland's upstart Rams would eat
humble pie and like it, but not the
Redskins. They only feel pretty
silly about the whole thing, espe-
cially after viewing motion pictures
of the game. They call them their
own private "atrocity pictures"
1t may have been Cleveland's rec
ord-smashing heat wave or overeat-
ing that paved the way for the
Tribes downfall, but there will be no
such excuses tomorrow when they
tangle with the once mighty Chi
cago Bears at Soldiers Field. In
Cleveland the squad was fed four
meals day-one at 10 pm. consist
ing of fruit salad, sandwiches and
milk, and the best food they've
tasted in long time, but not here.
The food is just average and the
boys are living monastic lives.
After Saturdays long, hot train
ride from Cleveland, they were
given liberty until II pm. but yes
terday they had to remain in their
rooms after breakfast until the day
schedule was announced. They
worked out at the stadium three
hours, ate dinner, went back to their
rooms until 10 o'clock, and then had
to sit through the Cleveland game
movies while Coaches Dud De Groot
and Turk Edwards pointed out their
mistakes. 1t was not a very pleas
ant way to spend Sunday.
Unexcited Over Bears.
Curiously, the Redskins don't seem
particularly wrought up about to-
morroW's game. They want tc
atone for the Cleveland debacle
but withal, it's still another football
game, one they would like to get
over and be on their way. But il
they don't show an improved Of

one, will be surprised person.
Fullback Sal Rosato, the Army
sergeant who was supposed to play
few exhibition games while on q
30-day furlough, probably won't be
used against Chicago. He stubbed
his toe on a foot locker in his bar
racks last week and still can't run
properly. Mike Micka, who injured
a foot at Cleveland, apparently
