The Army has announced that

After that date the dependents

HOUSING
The Senate last week passed the
so-called Veterans Emergency
Housing Bill, authorizing the con-
struction of 100000 homes for
veterans within the next two
years, by a vote of So to IA. As
previously pointed out in this
column, this measure has already
been adopted by the House, but
it will come back on a confer
ence report as there were sever
al changes made by the Senate
in the House-passed version.
The Senate adopted the 600
million dollar provision for sub
sides for producers of building
materials which the House reject
ed. The amendment providing for
ceilings on existing homes and
unimproved land was rejected in
the Senate by a vote of Al to 33.
Just what compromise the con-
ferences will reach is difficult
to predict at this time.

Redskins Line Play, Boughs Fine GeneroIshp
Count Heavily in AmozingU Upset of Giants

Ia 15-vard assessment against the
Skins sprung their guests from this
predicament.
FiIchock's Passes Connect.
Frankie Filchock, a former Red
skin, completed II of "a passes, three
during this assault for 38 yards.
Baugh needed exactly four plays
to get the Skins their second score
at the start of the second half.
Todd's 19-yard run, with jenkins
knocking down would-be tacklers,
to the As, set the stage for Baugh's
pass. The Giants were looking for
Dickie again when Sam pulled the
cork on the throw to Steve. Bugs
did a tightrope act down the side
line, dodging Pete Gorgone, Fill
chock and finally Hank Soar to
reach the goal line.
The Giants tied it up again after
Soar intercepted Baugh's throw on
the Redskin At, but they needed
an interference 90 penalty against
Jimmy Youel to keep going. That
put the ball on the 28 and Filchock
got another break on the next play
when he fumbled, recovered and
dashed through the >disorganized
Skins to the 8. Three times the
Redskin line, acting like it was play
ing against Broken Bow Jayvees,
hurled back the Giant offense, but
on the fourth down Filchock passed
to Liebel under the goal posts.
The Skins came right back at the
start of the final period, with Baugh
passing to Bagarus and Schilling,
then sending Jenkins barreling off,
tackle to the Is to set up the pay
off pitch.
Poillon's kick ended any doubts
about the outcome and atoned for
a previous effort that was short and
wide. g.
The Giants went into the air in
the last few seconds, but it was
merely going through the gesture
of playing the required 60 minutes.
They were done for.

to run through it." said Sammy
IsTt worked. too. Shucks, these people
who think you ought to throw the
ball every play just don't stop to
figure that maybe these other teams
want you to do that Detroit played
a four-man line against us most OF
the time, didn't it? All right, that
meant the Lions wanted us to pass.
That would have been right down
their alley. so we ran the ball In
stead. 1t was the only thing to do.
Today we kept watching the Giants
defense and varied our plays ae-
cordingly. Looks like We did all
right"
Baughs quarterbacking in the first
period was masterful. Stem started
his big day by recovering Dick Todd's
kickoff tumble on the 13. The
Tribe then launched an 87-yard
drive, retarded by 15-yard penalty,
to pay dirt with Todd and Bagarus
doing most of the ball carrying.
Baugh's passes to the same pair
and another to Cifers, who parked
the ball on the !, set the stage for
Jacuue Jenkins touchdown plunge.
The Giants retaliated with a 76-
yard drive, eliminated by Bill
Paschal's 3o-yard romp behind ex-
cellent blocking. Stem personally
souelched the New Yorker'S drive on
their own Is with series OF three
consecutive tackles that, limited

One victory over the New York
Giants doesn't put the Redskins in
the National Football League title
playoff, but offhand the board OF
strategy couldn't think of a better
way of getting there than by whip
ping the Maramen, 24-14.
After being the leagues best first
half combination in their first two
games, the Skins crossed up the
Giants and their severest critics
among the 1851 at Griffith Stadium
Yesterday by being a better team IN
the last two periods. Sixty minutes
of bruising football with a 35-yard
field goal by Dick Poillon crowni1lg
the effort like marachino cherry
was necessary ito beat the Giants
and the Tribe had it.
Paul Stem, who tossed Giant
linemen around like rag dolls IN
the first half and was a constant
source of annoyance to the visitors
in the second, was voted the Skins
outstanding player, but it was a hair
splitting job to pick the winner. Ri
Aldrich, who didn't play guard after
all: Clyde Ehrhardt, another center
who did play guard; Don Avery,
Johnny Stebers, Ed Cifers and, well,
all of them, earned a vote. The i'm
portant point is that the Skins got
together and ganged up on the
favored Giants. Team play won
the game.
Edwards Sees Work Pay OFF.
Coach Turk Edwards was elated,
but took the result in stride.
st knew we had it, but it was a
matter of showing it. The long
hours we've spent on the field and
in skull drills paid off yesterday
I'll settle for performance like that
every Sunday against anybody"
It was day OF personal triumph
for Sammy Baugh, Jim Gaffney,
Steve Bagarus and Poillon in par
ticular, also for the remainder OF
the Tribes backs in general. Poll
Ions last-minute field goal clinched
the victory and allowed the fans to
leave the park 80 seconds before
the final gun, assured of the out
come. Gaffney proved he can dc
everything. including catch passes
and run the ball, while Bagarus-
after being fenced in two weeks in
row-broke loose and scored the
Tribes last two touchdoWns.
Baugh was not at all surprised
by the outcome. His passing hasn't
been better this season. The last
touchdown pitch to Bagarus was
as precise as a Bureau of Standards
measurement. Steve got behind
Jack Doolan and took the ball in the
end zone, inches from the outside
line. Steve did most of the work
on his first scoring, gathering in ar
| 11-yard pass before taking off down
the sidelines 40 yards to pay dirt.
Baugh's Direction Superb.
