NASHUA TRIP TO BOWIE DELAYED
Woodward Tragedy
Clouds BeIoir Future

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 tR9.-
The future of the famous Belair
Stud, which has produced many

horses including Nashua, was
lin doubt today following the
shotgun death Of Its million
aire owner, 35-year-old William
Woodward. jr.
Young Woodward, who took
lover the stable after the death
Eof his father in 1858, was killed
yesterday BY a shotgun blast
which police said was fired by
his wife when the two left their
separate bedrooms to investigate
IA possible prowler on their estate

Mrs. Woodward. 32-year-old
former model. Is interested in
horses and has q 2-year-old filly

Col. Hewitt starred at fullback

he was q standout for another

Col. Hewitt was at Schofleld

It was Nashua and Arthur b

TO interest him during his youth

Woodward showed little interest

Redskins Face Rocky Road
IN Quest Of 500 Record
EoeIes, Forty Miners Next
After 35-7 Rout by Gionts
BY LEWIS r. ATcHIsoN

The next couple Of weeks may
decide whether the Redskins can
reach their preseason goal Of sig
victories. q 500 record for the
year. and with the Philadelphia
Eagles and San Francisco Forty
Miners coming here to give the
test, 1t could be rough.
Yesterdays stunning S5-7 de-
feat by the Giants, before 17.402
fans on the rain-swept Polo
Grounds In New York. probably
put an end to any title aspira-
ltions the Redskins might have
entertained. But the Eagles and
Forty Miners should determine
whether the Washington team
belongs In the upper half of
their division or with the ALSO
rams.
On paper the Washington
eleven doesn't figure to be lucky
enough to beat the Eagles again.
In two weeks time the Forty
Miners, who have all the nuts
and bolts. may have their ma
chine In high gear, and If the
Redskins can take one of the
two games it will be quite an
achievement.
First Loss ON Road
Until yesterday they hadn't
lost a road game in league COM
petition and their defense was
Itouted as one Of the best in the
East. Those boasts were silenced
by an outburst of long scoring
plays by the Giants, whose only
previous victory in five games
was over the equally lowly Chi
tcago Cardinals.
Ironically. the Redskins showed
their best offense Of the year In
getting their worst shellacking.
They rambled all over the damp
Polo Grounds. over everything
but the goal line. The Giants
were outplayed In everything but
kicking and returning kicks. In
this they excelled. especially Jim
Patton OF Mississippi. who re-
turned the opening kickoff 90
yards for q touchdown. the years
longest run. and took q punt 80
yards for the victcrs' fifth and
final score in the fourth quarter.
Five times the Redskins were in
scoring position-the last only 2
yards from a touchdown--and
five times they were repulsed.
Even reliable Vic Janowicz, who
ran 4S yards with a screen pass
to save the club from a shutout,
missed a couple of field goal at
tempts from the 80 and 19-yard
lines.

Conference. Then its on to the

ference champion for the play

Confusion Reigns Ia West
In the Western Conference,
however. all was confusion, with
only the suddenly-fangless De-
|troit Lions out Of the champion
ship picture. Chicago's rampag-
Ing Bears threw the race into q
deadlock by clawing the Los
Angeles Rams, 1920, for the
Bears third straight victory.
This left Los Angeles with q 4-2
record and in q deadlock with
Baltimore, which edged Green
