almost got out of hand. It was
a nose-tweaking, hair-pulling
party from the start and Ram
sey was no worse than a half
dozen others.
The Redskins had the ball
only five times in the second
half, as Frank Ziegler, John
Brewer and Don johnson ripped
the weary Redskins line to
shreds. The Eagles, however.
netted only 141 yards on the
ground and their two long
fourth period marches ac-
counted for more than that.
Sizable losses earlier in the fray,
when the Redskins forwards
were fresh and the secondary
alert, cut down the Eagles net.
ZiegIer Tops Runners.
Ziegler's SO yards on II trips
led both teams on the ground.
Brewer had 81 yards and john
son 81. And with Adrian Burk
and Bobby Thomason complet-
ing 13 of their "a passes for a
net 174 yards. the Phila-
delphianS had a decided edge in
statistics.
Pihos caught short touch
down passes-from Burk in the
first period and Thomason in
the second-to give the EageiS
a lat lead. Burk plunged over
from the al-foot line late in the
final period for the third and
tying score.
Tackle Laurie Niemi, playing
end in the revamped Redskins
lineup, scored the first touch
down of his pro career to tie
the score at TT, after recover
ing an Eagles tumble in the end
zone in the first period. Laurie
had to give an assist to rookie
Tackle Dick Modzelewski, whose
tooth rattling tackle made
Burk drop the ball.
Taylor Scores Twice.
Two passes from Scarbath to
Bones Taylor, good for "a and
81 yards respectively, accounted
for the second and third Wash
ington scores. Bones got away
from Tom Brookshier and
Chuck Bednarik to catch the
first. He reached out in front
of rookie Harold Giancanelli-
who thought he had an inter-
ception-to get his second six
pointer.
Il Bill Dudley kicked off for the
Redskins and again either made
or assisted with the subsequent
tackles. Bill also had a 27-yard
field goal attempt partially
blocked by Chuck Bednarik later
in the third period. The Red
skins got their wires crossed on
the play, which could have given
them winning edge.
Bob Walston of Philadelphia
missed two field goals. The first
was a what-can-we-lose shot
near the end of the second
period. The second was a genu-
inc bid for victory.
There was some press-box
criticism of Burk's strategy near
the end of the game, when. after
successfully ripping through the
Redskins line, he suddenly called
for a pass and was promptly
smeared by Modzelewski and
Gene Brito. The grandStand
quarterbacks thought Burk
should have called another run
ming play on third down with
seven yards to go and the ball
resting on Washington's 13-yard
line. If it failed he still could
have called for the field goal.
Trimble, however, didn't think
it was a bad call.
thine was running out on us, !"
Jim said. "He had to throw"
NOTES.-The pass intercept
tionS were brilliant, with Don
Doll and Johnny Williams and
Dick Alban sharing the spot
light. Bob WalSton got a
couple of passes that seemed to
have been intercepted by Chuck
Drazenovich and Williams, re-
Spectively. The two Redskins
caught the ball and WalSton
simply slipped his arms around
it after they fell to the ground.
At least a couple of Red
skins are hot under the collar
about Walston's free-swinging
style of play the officiating
hit a new low for confusion. !.
Even Commissioner Bert Bell
had to agree it wasn't up to
par. The paSs-receiving on
both sides was spectacular, with
Pihos and Taylor in starring
roles. A week of intensive
punting practice paid of for
LeBaron. He had a 43-yard
average, but better still. either
angled his kicks out bounds or
gave his ends plenty of time to
cover them.
