yard boot near the end of the
first period. He kicked another
from the 27-yard line midway
through the second quarter,
with Scooter Scudero holding, to
make it 60.
But this lead was erased early
IN the third period when Y. A.
Title ended a 75-yard Forty
Miner advance by sneaking over
for touchdown from the 1-yard
line. Gordie Soltau who missed a
26-yaro field goal attempt in the
first quarter added the game
winning extra point.
Janowic2 tried a sc. yard place
ment earlier in the fourth period
that had plenty of carry and was
aimed well enough, but it was
blown outside the goalposts by
the stiff breeze that swept the
stadium.
The Redskins coaching staff
found some satisfaction in the
tackling which was inmeasur-
ably improved with one or two
exceptions.
The few rockies tested acquit-
ted themselves well. particularly
Tackle j. D. kimmel. ex-West
Point ana Houston !ineman, but
this was largely a battle of vet
Grams. both teams hitting hard.
Quarterback AL Dorow of the
Redskins was clouted so hard by
Campbell in the last quarter that
he suffered a slight conclusion
and was taken to st. Mary's Hos
pital tor an immediate check up.
Dorow, who completed two Of his
three passes for % yards. will be
x-rayed again today. but thus far
the only damage seems to be five
Clipped teeth and an egg-like
lump uESer his chin.
Redskins Tackling Good
The Redskins gang tackling
was a pleasure to watch after
their feeble efforts of the last
few years. Toward the end of
the game, high powered Joe
Perry, the National Football
Leagues leading ground gamer,
John Henry johnson and Title
were slow in getting up. The
Washington squad also discov-
cred that Johnson's ailing knee,
encased in leather brace,
eliminated him as an outside
threat. although he still gen.
crates a lot of power through
the line. John Henry was the
games leading gamer with 70
yards on IA tries.
The Redskins made no FUN
bles, but recovered two Forty
Miner hobbies. Ralph FELTON,
and Chuck Drazenovich also
picked off two of Titles Is
passes to start the drives culnli-
mated by Janowicz's field goals.
Title completed 10 passes for
1913 yards. but found his receivers
well covered most of the time.
Title was able to work the
hidden ball play a couple of
times against a defense designed
primarily to stop the Forty
Miners line play.
McElhenny in Briefly
| Hugh McElhenny. San Fran
cisco's great running back, was
in for only one series and car
ried only once for 6 yards.
Defensively. the Redskins
showed plenty to write home
about, for with Volney Peters.
Kimmel, Gene Brito and Chef
Ostrowski wading in up front,
the Forty Miners had only one
other scoring opportunity in ad-
dition to their touchdown drive,
That was stopped on the Wash
ington 18-yard line in the first
quarter. :.
1 Extensively Kuharich plans to
make a few changes to give the
team more punch. He didn't use
Fullback Leo Filter or End
Charlie Jones. both of whom are
nursing fractured hands. and
one or both could make a big
difference.
! Aside from Dorow. the Red
skins came out of the game in
fairly good shape. Nick Adduci
may have a bone fractured in
his hand, Drazenovich has a
sore thumb and Scudero bruised
ribs. But the Forty-Niners hurt
their feelings more than any
thing else in sneaking off with
that one-point decision.
