Spirit Is Willing,
| But Flesh Weak,
Coach Ball Finds

Satisfied that the Redskins did
their best and disappointed that
it wasn't good enough to stop the
Eagles was the way Herman Ball
summed up his first game as
head coach of the Skins.
1T was a case of too many
Eagles" he said in the dressing
room after the game. Il think
we had the defense to stop them
but our personnel wasn't quite
good enough in a couple of spots.
I thought the line played a good
game. but our inability to stop
their passing really hurt"
No stockholders, no officials Of
the club and no observers in the
press coop had any criticism of
Balls work. Apparently he knew
how to place his men to stop
the champs, but didn't have the
manpower to do the job. There
were several glazing examples of
a better player winning out over
a good man in head-on collisions.

Cliff Patton's failure to kick
the extra point after the Eagles
third touchdown yesterday at
Griffith Stadium marked the
end Of one Of the most remark

Ge Qualities as Big Lacquer Despite Eagles Rout Of Redskins
Improved Tribe Is Unable
To Match Champs Power
By Lewis F. Atchison

Redskin rebuilding plans for
1850, now on the drafting board,
undoubtedly will center around a
freckled, sandy haired splinter Of
a lad by the name Of Harry Gil
mer. In what amounted to a
final examination against the
pride Of the National Football
League, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gilmer came through with colors
flying yesterday before 31,170 fans
at Griffith Stadium.
The Redskins, alas, didn't quite
make 1t, dropping a 44-21 decision
to the champions, but it was an
Improvement over the 1914 de-
feat suffered at Philadelphia ear
lier in the season. The crowd
didn't tear its hair or call down
maledictions on the management,
however, but seemed to get q wal
lop out Of the kids performance.
It was q sympathetic crowd,
evidently willing to make allow
ances for some mistakes as Her
man Ball took over the Tribes
coaching helm. Expecting no
Redskin victory, 1t was not disap-
pointed. They came to marvel at
the sheer power Of Steve Van
Buren, g. Co.. and counted on the
home teams good deeds as q
bonus.
Gilmer will do. That much was
decided yesterday. Balls task
now is to try and patch the holes
in the teams defense and to
bolster it's offensive weaknesses.
It can't be done this year because
the personnel isn't good enough.
The front Office should be busy
looking for requirements for 1850
If the Tribe is to regain its
dwindling prestige.
BauEh Used Sparingly.
Gilmer completed II of "a
passes for 264 yards and two
touchdowns. He tossed several
long-awaited pitchouts, one to
Harry Dowda for 81 yards and the
second Redskin touchdown in the
third period. He was trapped be-
hind the line several times, but
not entirely through his own fault,
and a couple of times he escaped
when all exits seemed completely
blocked.
Sammy Baugh sat out all but
a half-dozen plays and was impo-
tent against the Eagles air-tight
pass defense. It was quite ap-
parent that Sam couldn't hit the
target at a long distance and the
Eagles checked potential short
range receivers so effectively
Baugh had no chance to throw to
them. Whether his ailing shoul-
der is to blame or whether the
zing in his arm has begun to ebb
is a moot question, but the old
Singer today ranks second be-
hind Gilmer in the Redskin
scheme Of things.
Gilmer got the Skins back in
the bah game at TT with a wobbly
pass to Fullback Pete Stout, good
for 80 yards. It happened in the

Built By Local

have the time to go in for a great
deal of social activity, but when it
comes to conservation work, it's
record is second to none," State

Gently.
Anyone interested in this kind
of work would be more than well
come in the organization, especially
if he can drive a nail or mix NOR
tar or do anything else in the con-
struction line. That clubhouse will
be dandy when it is finished and
will be for the enjoyment of all
members.
