Tribe Unimpressive,
However, in Licking
Boston Yanks, 14-6
By Lewis r. Atehison

This undefeated Redskin clever
that whipped Boston yesterday
1875, is beginning to bear q strong
resemblance to the 1912 champion
ship team. It doesn't seem to pack
the power Of that happy go lucky
outfit, but it Is playing the same
brand OF football and is getting the
same satisfactory results.
Sammy Baugh pitched the Yam
KEGS to a 60 lead in the first two
minutes Of yesterdays game at Bos-
ton. He then led a countercharge
that produced two Redskin scores
and should have netted five.
Any resemblance between the
team that blasted the Giants q
week ago and yesterdays eleven
was strictly in the color of the jer-
seys. But you could have written
the same lines about that ~ squad
1t played some games so close you
wouldn't have given two bottle tops
for its title chances. And yet when
the chips were down 1t ran the
Bears into the ground in the pay
of game.
This Redskin eleven seems able to
turn on the power when 1t is needed
and that's one mark of q good team
Skins Blow Scoring Chances.
Coach Turk Edwards doesn't want
any repetition of that "a cam
paign, however, except in results
He insists on better performances
than the Tribe gave yesterday, and
wants his men to get six points at
every opportunity. Three times the
Tribe blew scoring chances against
the Yanks. And against any other
club it might have been costly.
If Washington clips the Eagles
wings next Sunday 1t will be In
good shape for the gruelling stretch
drive that will decide the Eastern
title chase. The last four games
will tell the story. bringing the
Burgundy and Gold up against the
Chicago Bears. Eagles, Green Bay
Packers and New York Giants on
successive Sundays.
It's a tough schedule, but the
Skins should be well enough organ
tied by that time to meet the test.
A win over Philly would just
about knock Greasy Neale's charges
out of the race. After that come
Pittsburgh and Boston again. And
II the Skins don't whip these two
they don't deserve to be in the play
of. The Bears will be tough-as
usual. And the Eagles will be un-
predictable-as usual.
Must Play Good Bali.
The Tribe whipped Green Bay
once. In a preseason game, lost to
the Bears in another extracurricu-
lar contest, and held one decision
over the Giants. Going by the
past performance chart, the Skins
can win. But they've got the play
something better than grade B
football to do 1t.
Boston was no problem for the
Skins defense yesterday, although
Paul Governali, q slick sharp passer,
was q constant threat. Yet the
Tribe didn't play nearly as well as
the week before when It hobbled the
Giants on the ground and broke up
frankie Filchok's passes. Often
sively they lost Bogarus touchdown
by a holding penalty. another score
when the running attack came to a
groaning halt on the 21a yard line,
and still another because Of a back
in-motion penalty.
They might have gotten another
If Baugh had seen either Jim
PEBBLES or Ralph Schilling In the
open when he tossed q pass to Jim
Gaffney, who was well covered and
didn't have a chance to make the
catch. And all Of those incidents
added together did not make for
good football.
When the Tribe set out to over
come Boston's early lead 1t rolled
along with powerful. precise strokes.
Jacque Jenkins lugged the cowhide
43 of the So yards the Skins trav-
eled to pay dirt, with Dick Todd
blasting over from the 7-yard line.
Pass Brings Touchdown.
Jimmy YouePs 15-yard punt re-
turn to Boston's 80 put the second
scoring drive in motion late in the
third period. Baugh passed to Saenz
for the score. But Eddie had to
fight his way through Bob Davis
from the 5-yard line to score. Dick
Poillon, who made extra points,
tried a 40-yard field goal that was
short. Another field goal attempt,
by PEBBLES from the 43-yard mark,
also failed to hit the mark.
Ironically, Boston's lone score was
made by former Redskin Mike
Micka, who sprinted 40 yards after
Baugh threw one right into his
hands. Micka had excellent block
ing from a half dozen Yankees, two
of whom took out Steve Baragus
on the 5-yard line.
Boston threatened only once again,
late in the first period, travelling 10
yards to Washingtons 7 before being
halted. Sonny Karnofsky's run
ming and Governali's passing to
Harold Crisler and Karnofsky, fea-
tured the drive. There Ed Cifers
and Paul Stem teamed up to stop
third-down running play and Gary
Flamiglietti tried . field goal that
missed when John Adams rushed
the kicker.
