Shaw Grabs 5 Passes
For Scoring Record
AS Cards Rout Coils
By the Associated Press :

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The Chi
cago Cardinals today boasted a
record breaking pass combination
in the National Football League.
Big End Bob Shaw grabbed five
touchdown flips from Quarterback
Jim Hardy last night as the Car
|dinals swamped the hapless Balti-
more Colts, 55-13. before 14,439
at Comiskey Park.
In all, Hardy tipped six scoring
passes in the eight touchdown
parade over the Colts, who now
have lost three straight loop starts
and 10 straight, including exhibi-
tions.
Shaw's bag of five scoring
catches bettered the loop record
of four the former Ohio State star
had shared with Don Hutson of
Green Bay and Joe Carter of
Philadelphia.
The Cardinals, trailing 1877 at
the half, cut loose with 48 points
in the last half for their first
league victory in two starts. Their
only two overland touchdowns
were scored by Charley Trippi on
smashes of ! foot and 18 yards in
the final period.
Hardy's six touchdown tosses
missed by one the league single
game record of seven by Sid Luck
man of the Chicago Bears against
the New York Giants in 1943.
| Hardy's record-smashing pass
series to Shaw covered 40, 8, II. 1e

shot was a play spanning So yards

Super Effort Needed
10 Defeat Sparfans,
Terps Are Warned

Jim Tatum thinks it will take
a super effort by Maryland to beat
Michigan State Saturday at East
Lansing.
Bill Meek secuted the Spartans
in their victories over Oregon
State and Michigan. and Denver
Crawford of the Maryland staff
accompanied Meek to Ann Arbor
last Saturday. Meek said the Spar
tans are stronger and smoother
than last year when they beat the
Terps, 14-7, in what generally was
agreed to be Maryland's finest per-
formance of the season.
Michigan State undoubtedly is
the strongest team Maryland will
face this year, the scouts said.
Both Meek and Crawford were
impressed with States team play,
more than any standout individual
performances.
Maryland was due for the first
of three straight days of rough
work today, with only Ray Krouse,
John Troha and Stan KranaSh to
miss todays session. They have
slight injuries, but are expected
back tomorrow.
In East Lansing Coach Biggie
Mum said he hoped to have the
Spartans at full strength by Sat-
urday. Bob Ciolek and Willie
Thrower, halfbacks. and Frank
Kush. a guard, are on the injured
list at present. but are expected
to face the Terps.

Bridgewater Backs

Saturdays game between Bridge

Bridgewater has fair depth in
the backfield, but is thin in the
line. 1t is coached by Dan Geiser
who in two years has reinstated
football as a major sport with the
Eagles. &
Among his backfieid leaders are
Co-Capt Harry Bowers, a 1856
FOUNDER from Harrisonburg, and
Bill Naylor, 16o-pounder from
Washington. Both are lettermen
Tommie Christie, a chunky 190-
pound freshman from Arlington
is one of the promising additions
to the backf1eld.
There are only four lettermen in
the line, Co-Capt. Merle jenkins
at end. Ed Metzger at guard
Eldridge Callahan at tackle and
Neil Corbett at center.
Two Catholic University players
will miss the game because of in

LITTLE SPORT
By Lewis F. Atchison

Coach Herman Ball of the Red
skins turned today to the SEEM
ingly futile task of rebuilding a
winning football team from the
wreckage of two straight setbacks
that have left the squad labeled
the most inept ever to wear the
burgundy and gold. With the
New York Giants coming to Grit
fifth Stadium Sunday, Ball seemed
in need of a magician's services to
whip together a team capable Of
giving them some opposition.
Motion pictures of the Redskins
26-7 defeat by Pittsburgh reveal
an even poorer performance than
against Green Bay. Ball can't tell
you why, but he unhappily admits
the team looks progressively worse.
It's bungling performance is re-
f1ected in the attitude of the aver
age fan. who seems disgusted with
the 1850 edition. A*4
Baugh in Fans DOgh0use.
News that Sammy Baugh's in
jured arm might keep him out of
the Giants game caused no gloom.
Many fans apparently hoped it
was true after watching Sam call
a series of running plays with the
club needing three touchdowns to
win and with only six minutes to
play. Baugh's arm was to be x
rayed today and the injury doesn't
seem to be as serious as thought.
Harry Gilmer's ailing leg also
should be mended by the time the
Giants reach town, but there were
no cheers about that, either. The
Redskins, in short, are on the
verge of losing the esteem built
up by their proud predecessors in
their IA years in Washington.
Television films of the game on
WMAL-TV tomorrow night will
show the reasons for the public's S
mounting dissatisfaction. They
will show an amateurish brand of
blocking by players supposed to be
experts at the art. The only good
performance in the line was given
by Tackle Laurie Nierni. The So
called blocking backs haven't been
blocking on running plays and the
tackling would make a touch-foot-
ball player blush with embarrass-
ment.
They Lost the Spark.
Balls policy of handling the
squad on man-to-man basis
apparently isn't paying off. Some
where. on their way here after
their too-successful exhibit ,
tour, the Redskins lost the spa. :;
that made them look like poten-
tial champions.
AS for smartness. well. 8 out
OF 10 penalties called on the Red
skins would have been avoided by
a blind man. Judging by the
film, it would seem that the Red
skins need individual instructions
to guide them on the field.
Boiled down to few words, the
Redskins seem prematurely washed
