UnscheduIed Thrill

II Hhely tnat IN frequent use
of the lateral the fans will get
their biggest kick. It's strictly
an unscheduled thrill when A
man who is trapped can get OF
a good lateral 20 a teamnate in
the clear. Hasty and ill-advised
use Of laterals can be dangerous,
but good ball handling can make
the lateral pass tremendously
potent scoring weapon. That's
what DOrals IS counting on.
The Lions onenSe will be
varied, with tho basic formation
what might bc termed the T on

The Lions are looking "a

Giants Meet
In Eastern Cro1ur1 Tilt

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-(R-Unless
New York Giants spring one Of
their patented upsets, the Wash
ington Redskins will emerge from
tomorrow's closing round Of the
regular National Football. League
season as the eastern contender in
the Pro circuits title battle at
Cleveland, Dec. Is.
The Western section champion
ship was grabbed by the surpris-
ing Cleveland Rams three weeks
ago and the only remaining activ-
ity in the 10-club loop is tomorrow's
two-game card which may pro-
duce an Eastern titular deadlock
A tie and necessary playoff, NOV
ing the championship game at
Cleveland back a week, will result
if the Giants spill the Redskins
CD at Washington and the runner
up Philadelphia Eagles (6-3) de-
feat Boston-Brooklyn at Phila-
delphia.
Washington belted the Giants a.
IA on Oct. %, but Steve Ovens
New York club now is in a spelling
mood. The Gotham huskies last
week tumbled the Eagles from a
first-place tie with Washington and
before that showed the Detroit
Lions out of the Western title pic
ture.
With hashy Steve Van Buren,
seeking to nail down the league
individual ground-gaining title and
overtake Green Bays Don Hutson
as the scoring leader, the Eagles
are favored over the Yanks, who
have won three, lost five and tied
one.
Only Giant victory at Washing
ton can pull the Eagles into a
sectional playoff, because even if
the Redskins are held to a tie,
they'll finish with a .778 percent
age, while Philadelphia triumph
will leave the Eagles with a clos
ing ZOO mark.
The crucial scrap at Washington
probably will become an aerial
duel between Washington's bril-
liant combination of Sammy Baugh
and Steve Bagarus and New York's
new-found payoff duo of ancient
Arnie Herber and Frank Liebel.
Herber fired three touchdown
losses to Liebel as the Giants
tripped the Eagles, 1921 last Sun
