Eagles Due TO Give
Another Stormy Day
To Redskins Sunday
By Lewis F. Atchison

Washington was battened
down today for Hurricane Ha-
zel's hit-and-run visit. but the
poor Redskins have another big
blow coming up Sunday from
Philadelphia. To be more pre-
else, the Eagles will be in town
accompanied by. according to
the outlook, high scores and
heavy damage-to the Redskins
The Eagles look so powerful,
with straight victories tucked
away, and the Redskins so weak,
with as many defeats. even Ed
Hogan found it difficult to feign
alarm over his teams impend-
ing visit The Philadelphia pub
licist did his best to appear un-
happy on TV shows and in his
chats with sportsWriterS, point
ing with alarm to last year
when the Redskins surprised by
tying the Eagles on their home
grounds and whipping them
here, but it didn't register. Ed
die was more concerned about
losing his wallet.
This is the same Eagles team
that held the opposition to an
average of 38 yards on the
ground in seven exhibition
games. Running is what the
Redskins have done best this
season, which is faint praise at
best But they aren't likely to
get very far Sunday.
Rough Customers in Line.
Charley Justice, who is having
a day" Billy Wells and Rob
Goode aren't expected to go
roaming against a defensive line
featuring Tom Scott. former
Virginian. and Norm Wiley at
ends. Jess Richardson and Mike
Jarmoluk at tackle, Frank Kill
roy in the middle, and Chuck
Bednarik and Wayne Robinson
in the linebacker spots. Rough
is the word for this crowd.
The Eagles are long way
from being home in the Eastern
Division race, but their inaugu-
raj victory over the Cleveland
Browns. plus last Saturday
nights narrow squeak over the
rugged Pittsburgh Steelers gave
Coach Jim Trimble's men a good
edge. Their final four games,
against the Browns. Redskins,
Detroit Lions and New York
Giants. in that order. shape up
as the decisive period for them,
and Trimble undoubtedly wants
to build up a cushion against an
upset or two in that period.
Hogan thinks the Eagles have
the weapons to win the title,
barring unforeseen bad breaks.
He points with pride to the run
ming of Fullback Jim Farmer, a
seven-year veteran who gained
154 yards in the first three
games to rank fifth in the
league, and to the pass-catching
. of Halfback Jerry Williams from
the Los Angeles Rams. Williams
has caught II passes for 313
yards and two touchdowns, also
ranking fifth.
Quarterbacking Strong Spot.
Hogan likes the way Quarter
backs Bobby Thomason and
Adrian Burk have complemented
one another. although neither
has had a real bad game yet.
Burk took the team 81 yards
on seven plays to beat the
SteelerS last week when the
Eagles, as Hogan admits were
lucky to win" But the point
is, Burk took them all the way
when the chips were down.
: It appears that the Redskins
have to face another eleven too
experienced, too we'll balanced
and too eager to get handful
of playoff dough on their hands
again this week. The outlook, as
the Weather Bureau is saying, is
stormy.
