Evening star., 1953-10-19

is to believe he butterng up the Redskins
How good are the Redskns?" he asked
The best played far" Otto replied regular
league play that is The Rams actually did beat hell out of
US in exhibition although weren't for the game"
PAUL BROWN coach of the Cleveland outfit, in
cned to string along with his star Graham " you fellows
they're good" said to group
ngton reporters should have been there getting hit
by Lipscomb Ricca and few other Redskins"
"A lot of your guys didn't seem to find them tough"
said I thought Washington let lot of ball carriers
get loose after having them nailed"
"It happens to u.s. too" Brown smiled
And those fubes by Dowda and scarbath Two fumbles
Redskins points inside couple of minutes.
1T happens to u.s. too," Brown repeated.
When the reporters moved off, said:
II think they sincere. Both of them Brown and
Graham"
Yeah said another ut when does Cleveland do that
bad tacking and make those fumbes talking
about? I saw it happen. They always win"
Come to think of it, replied the other, "I it
happen, either"
THE BIG BRASS in the Redskins dressing room seemed
in high good humor everything considered The brass in
cuded his head COACH Curly Labeau
ut doesn't hurt too much to lose to club like the
Browns, Lambeau said They're great They don't make
any mistakes. The way Graham handles that team and
Gillom punts pacekicks we'll they've got it ALL"
But what happened in the final period? Those
fumbeS -"
"we ran out of fullbacks mainly" Curly said "Drazeno-
vch and Heath hurt and had to play Dowda on
ohense 1t might have been different if hadn't lost
fullbackS."
"Was this your best game?" somebody asked Lambeau
shook head. mo-" Curly said "t wasn't I think
everybody
weren't rynghey tried too hard maybe That accounts
for sloppy blocking tacklng ball handling lot of times"
But you could have won" interviewer pointed out
Taylo open for touchdown when LBaron threw that
that intercepted short Eddie throws good
there's another and maybe Cleveland doesn't come
back strong"
" LAMBEAU PAUSED AS IF trying to recall the play. Then
he said
LeBaron throws just right practice. He throws it
far enough"
But in a ball game?" asked
Not in this ball game" Curly said. Look defeat
doesn't won't be conenders Cleveland will get beat
twice, too Maybe more"
= You really think SOP" he asked
s. "Sure really think everybody saying
couldn't beat San Francisco Well what happened to
San Francisco? They got licked five times"
San Francisco is ball club and Cleveland another
reporter reminded.
cleveland San Francisco the Bears what
difference make?" Curly reorted They all get
licked they all go over the hill in big hurry I've
seen it happen. I've been in this game long time"
WHEN THE GROUP in Lambeau's Office disbanded,
bysanders said another when first heard Curly
talking thought said Cleveland great and doesn't
make mistakes and yet when walked out thought he
said they could be beaten several times"
That's right, said the other. "Puzzling, isn't it?
you the Browns dressing did you happen
why he kicked field goal at the start of
the when Cleveland had the ball the 2yard lne?
- "Ye" came the reply said We'll, that's the Browns
way of playing He gnned little and said, wanted to
make the board Then he said more seriously
do that lot It's pretty good feeling to have that
three-po edge right off the bat Then worry about
swapping touchdownS stand off the other Side we've
got field goal additional field goals working for u.s.
What did this remind you Of if anythng?" asked
the first
"The Dodgers playing the Yankees" replied the other
"Al day kept thinking that if Washington upset Cleveland
1t would make good yarn and yet =. :"
And yet deep down. you know the Browns would come
out top?"
! 81 guess that's it," conceded the other
