The Redskins are 71a-point

Coach Joe Kuharich will settle
for a one-point victory.
They are just as capable of
beating us as the New York
Giants" Joe said, land we don't
look for an easy game. It's like
I've said before, we have a
chance of beating anyone if we
keep our errors at a minimum,
but if we tumble and drop the
ball like we did against the
Giants we can get beat"
While the loss to New York
took some Of the edge off the
Redskins enthusiasm, and un-
derstandably so, Kuharich has
noticed no letdown in practice
this week. They still have the
Pittsburgh Steelers and Balti-
more Colts to play after the
Eagles, and they could be three
of the hardest games Of the
season. If they win all three.

Kuharioh doesn't expect to see
the sloppy ball handling that

Eddie LeBaron at quarterback
to vary the attack.
