Fred Wallner intercepted Eddie

other rebuff for the visitors at
that point could have changed
the games complexion. And
then again it might not have
made the slightest difference.
The Redskins seemed fiat and
dead on their feet from the
opening whistle. There was al
most an eerie silence at the be-
ginning of the game. The tense
ness and excitement usually felt
when two teams square of for
the opening kickoff was missing.
One could almost sense that the
Redskins had left their game on
the practice field.
Zone Of those frustrating
games" was the way Coach Joe
kuharich summed 1t up. The
Redskins outgained their rivals
in passing. 189 yards to As. and

after Harry Ulinski and Ralph
Thomas slammed into the
Cardinal rookie as he fielded Ed
die LeBaron's punt on the Chi
cago Is. But the offense failed
to click and Washington had to
settle for an l8-yard field goal
by Vic Janowicz.
In the third quarter Chef Os-
trowski set up another scoring
opportunity by grabbing Ollie
Matson's tumble after the fleet
back was sloughed by Peters on
Chicago's 20-yard line. AL Dorow
was sent in at quarterback for
Eddie LeBaron, but this time
the Redskins didn't even get a
field goal. The big pass, which
would have pulled the team

Janowicz missed a placement
from the 27-yard line.
