Slater, who was the leagues
leading scorer going into the

couple of would-be tacklers to
complete his journey. zagers
made the touchdown possible
with q rib-cracking block on EN-
Tunnen. voted the Giants besi
defensive player at the end Of
the day.
Tunnel saved the Giants g
touchdown by catching Zagers
from behind after the Redskins
halfback had romped Il yards in
the first period. and in the sec
ond he halted another Washing
ton threat by intercepting Le-
Baron's pass on the 4-yard line
He was injured twice, but was
still in there tackling and swat
ting down passes at the end.
Webster, Scores Again
II the Redskins entertained
any hopes OF oyertaking their
hosts. and the several hundred
Washingtonians in the crowd ex-
pected them to do it, they were
dashed minutes after Janowicz'
score when the Giants went rs
yards on their only sustained
drive Of the cloudy afternoon.
Even 50. this was . slapdash af-
fair, with Webster going Il yards
for the touchdown after taking
a. pass from Charlie Conerly.
Scooter Scudero had Webster
pinned on the four-yard line.
where both apparently slid out
OF bounds, but Webster scram-
bled up and skidded across the
goalline.
New York's fourth score fol-
lowed Pat knights interception
Of LeBafon's pass. He lateraled
to Bill Syoboda. who was
brought down on the Washing
ton SO. and on the succeeding
play Conerly passed to Kyle Rote
under the goal posts.
Patton's punt return COM
pleted the scoring, and the Red
skins got a bad break on that
one as LeBaron's first punt was
called back for an OF f-side pen
atty against the team.
The Giants added insult to
injury after that score, Ben
Agajanian and Conerly switch
ing their customary roles and
Conerly kicking the extra point
with Agajanian holding. Ben
booted the other four.
Norb Hecker's interception of
Conerly's pass on the Giants 81
gave the Redskins their first
wasted scoring chance. LeBaron
was srneared for a l2-yard loss
by Knight, but got the team to
the rs with a 16-yard throw
to Ralph Thomas. Janowicz then
tried the 32-yard field goal,
which was wide.
Atkeson Runs As Yards
Another pass interception, this
one by Dick Alban, started the
Redskins second drive from
their own 81. The big play was
zagers' 41-yard gallcp to the
Giants IA. But. once again the
Giants held and Janowicz's
placement from the ,19-yard line
went wide.
Dale Atkesor1 turned In the
longest Redskins run Of. the year,
As yards to the Ne'- York 10 in
the second quarter to give the
team its third shot at q score,
but big Walt Yowarsky, q former
Redskin end. got through twice
Id q row to spill LeBaron for a
total loss Of % yards, putting the
bali back on the Al. Eddie finally
had to punt.
The Redskins marched 81
yards near the end Of the first
half only to be thrown back a
third time when Tunnel inter-
cepted LeBaron's pass on the
4-yard line. Eddie's pitching to
Johnny Carson and Hecker, and
the ball-carrying OF Janowicz,
Atkeson and zagers marked the
advance.
Passes to Jim Mcnachino and
Leo Elter featured the final, fu-
tile assault on the Giants goal
In the last period when the Red
skins got to the 2-yard line. A
