kick, which Lewis returned for a
score, but Sam didn't look like
a big Lacquer.
Bob Deans kickoffS also were
below par. Agajanian booted 'em
into the end zone, or beyond.
The former Marylander didn't
have that much foot.
StatiStically, there wasn't too
much difference between the
teams. The Redskins had
slight advantage on the ground
and the Rams had the edge, in
the air. Williams saved the Red
skins a couple of times. On an
other occasion Harry Dowda
filled the breach, and Haynes
tackling was a joy to behold.
But the pass defense wasn't as
air-tight as Lambeau hoped.
Redskins Start Fast.
The Redskins started fast,
driving 64 yards on nine plays
to score less than four minutes
after taking the initial kickoff.
There was nothing wrong with
LeBaron's generalship as he
faxed the Rams by sending
Chuck Drazenovich into the line
and Tipping pass to Bones Tay-
lor IN the end zone.
The Rams went to the Red
skins 9-yard line the first
time they got the ball. The
Redskins line, featuring Jim
Ricca in the middle, Laurie Me
mi and Paul Lipscomb at tackles,
held 'em there and Agajanian
had to kick his 16-yard field goal.
The Redskins took the kickoff
and marched right down the field
again. reaching Los Angeles
2-yard line. This time Le-
Baron tossed a high pass to Dow
da. who had replaced Taylor at
left end. Dowda leaped, seemed
to clutch the ball, and then let
it get away as he toppled over
backwards. That could have
been the turning point of the
game.
Justice Sparks Drive.
Choo Choo Justice, who gained
Al yards, sparked the Redskins
first goalward drive. The second
tirne around Leon Heath, Julie
Rykovich and to a lesser degree
Sam Barry got into the act. The
line, featuring Buddy Brown and
Knox Ramsey at guard. gave
them some nice holes.
Only once more did the Red
skins threaten seriously. That
was in the third period when
they marched from their own
35-yard line to the Rams "a.
with Heath, Johnny Papit and
Rykovich bearing most of the
burden. Held there, they called
in Bill Dudley. who missed a 81
yard field goal, which was par
tally blocked by Night Train
Lane.
An important play, and what
appeared to be piece Of bad
officiating, cost the Redskins
possible touchdown in the sec
ond period when Jack Dwyer
grabbed Taylor's arm as the
latter reached for a long pass
from LeBaron. Taylor was gone,
If he got the ball. and the foul
was so palpable the pro-Rams
crowd booed vociferously.
Rams Score On 10 Plays.
The Rams got the ball on a
punt as a result of this play, and
went SO yards on 10 plays for
their first touchdown. Dutch van
Brocklin hit Crazy Legs Hirsch,
Tank Younger and Tom Fears
with successive passes before
Gene Brito S1neared him for a
12-yard loss. The Rams took a
5-yard penalty for delaying the
game, but the Dutchman got it
all back with a 22-yard throw to
Quinlan on the Redskins 25.
Two plays later Quinlan raced
through the disorganized Wash
ington defense for his touch
down.
In addition to LeBaron's in
jury, Andy Davis diSlocated a
shoulder and will be X-rayed to-
day to determine the full extent
of damage. Aside from these
two injuries. the Redskins came
through in good shape.
