game, about year ago from last

In order that the Redskins might
hold this second 'iBevor dDwn,
they used zone defense against
Tiffin with two men on Rohrbach
all the time. This was the first
time this season that P. C. had
used a zone defense, and you
might say that the plans backfired
or that the plans worked. 1t all
depends on how you look at it.
