Geri Beats Eagles

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The race
in the National Football League is
we'll into the stretch and both con-
ferences today shaped up as
three-team Scrambles.
In the American section, the
Cleveland Browns bounced back
into first place. earning a hard
fought victory over the Chicago
Cardinals, 10-7, yesterday. The
Philadelphia Eagles were dumped
into a second-place tie with the
New York Giants when they lost
la 81 thriller to the Pittsburgh
Steelers. The Giants won close
one, beating the Redskins, 24-21.
Cleveland has won six games and
lost two, while the Eagles and
Giants hold So marks.
The Yanks, who top the Ma
tional Conference with a 6-1
record. took yesterday off. but
had nothing to enthuse over. The
Los Angeles Rams and Chicago
Bears, the New Yorkers' closest
pursuers, both won, to tighten the

Yesterdays important contests
featured field goals and the young
man who stole the show was
Pittsburgh's Joe Geri. The former
Georgia ace booted the Eagles off
the top rung in virtually one
man-offensive. He accounted for
all the Steelers' points by kicking
three field goals and showed his
versatility by picking up 113 yards
on the ground in Is running sor-
ties.
Geri's trio of placekicks-one in
each of the first three periods

old league. Only six hooters have
achieved the distinction. Back in

Caught in the fire of grand
stand criticism about the Red
skins strategy in their 24-21 de-
feat by the Giants before 23,909
pro football fans yesterday at New
York. Coach Herman Ball today
said he'd do it all over again in
the same situation, under the
same circumstances.
It was fourth down with 2 feet
to go for a first down on the
3la-yard line early in the fourth
period. Sammy Baugh called for
a line buck by Chuck Drazenoyich
instead of trying a field goal,
which, if successful. would have
given the Redskins a 24-14 lead
and might have sewed up the
game. The Giants held, took the
ball on downs and eventually ral-
lied to win.
"You can't win." said Herman.
I'VE missed an 11-yard field goal
against the Giants in the first
game and if we had missed anoth-
er yesterday the same people
would want to know why we didn't
run the ball. Now they're asking
why we didn't try a field goal
I'd take the same chance again.
Ground Play Had Clicked.
Ball pointed out that the Red
skins ground attack had clicked
consistently up to that point and
that Drazenovich had crashed
through the Giants line earlier for
a touchdown. There was no rea-
son to believe he couldn't get at
least two feet and the first down
The coach believes the Redskins
would have scored again had they
made the first down.
Misplays were more responsible
for the Redskins downfall than
mistaken strategy. The Redskins

Fishing Tip

Fish hear by feeling the vi
bratons of sounds. Any noise
on or in the water will frighten
them. Few fishermen realize
just TO what extent this particu-
lar type of quietness plays in the
difference between a full and
an empty stringer. Talk as much
as you like, but hold noise that
might have any contact with
the water to an absolute mini
mum. When fishing from a boat,
use an old piece of carpet under
your feet to muffle the noise
of scrapping shoes. Keep the oar
locks from creaking by 'greas-
ing" them with a piece of para
flR. 1t Is more effective and
lasts longer than oil or grease.
Fish toward the sun. The NOV
ing shadows of a fisherman, a
boat swinging at anchor, an an
cl1or rope, rod or even your
line puts a wary bass on guard.
Quiet, please and watch the old
etringe1 fill fast.

he was swapped for two players
and approximately $65,000 and
sent to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1941 he shared in his first
World Series when Brooklyn
met the Yankees. The fourth
game is the one that most fans
will remember. 1t was in this
game that Mickey committed the
error that cost the Brooklyn
team the game and eventually
the series. With two down and
no one on base Mickey dropped
the third strike on Tommy Hen
rich allowing him to reach first
base. From there on the Yam
KEGS pounced on Hugh Casey
and won IA. He was with the
Dodgers until 1945 and then
entered the Navy. Upon being
released from the Navy Mickey
and several others were lured
to the Mexico League, but this
proved to be a failure, and
Mickey was reinstated last year
and returned to the Dodgers. He
is now trying to prove to the
Brooklyn fans that he is still
a solid man behind the plate.
WHAT possesses men to risk

ment 21a mile oval of the In

per hour and it will go higher.
Last years winner, Bill Holland

No man is more conscious
than the man behind the wheel
of the risks involved. He knows
that the Old Reaper rides in the
'Thunder-bus" with him, ready
to take advantage if anything
goes wrong, and as it so often
does. A broken steering knuckle,
a loosened bolt, a bit of "slick"
