Giants Itching
To Even Series
With Redskins
By LEWIS f. ATCHISON

~ 40 n AOAAAOOAN
Whatever hopes the Redskins
had of catching the Giants with
their spirits down in New York
Sunday have been dispelled by
reports from the big city. The
word here is that Coach Jim Lee
Howell's men are waiting for the
Redskins with open arms.
There was a feeling that the
almost unbelievable fourth-pe-
Rod rally staged by the Chicago
Bears to gain 17-17 tie with
the Giants last Sunday might
have knocked the props from
under them. but that isn't the
case.
The Giants want the Bears
back again. Still Steaming be
cause of the tie, Frank Clifford
Alex Webster, Kyle Rote g. Co.
are itching to even matters ano
would take great pleasure IN
doing it in the championship
playoff game. All they've got tc
do is win the division title first,
and beating the Redskins will b.
a big step in that direction.
Want to Avenge Defeat
The Giants still have a bad
taste in their mouths from the
1877 shellacking they received at
the Redskins hands here a few
weeks ago, one more reason the
Washington eleven can expect a
hard time. Even If the game
meant nothing to the title aspi-
Irations of the teams. the New
Workers would be up" for it.
But the crippled Redskins.
who've surprised everybody by
lchalking up FIVE straight victo-
ries after losing their first three
games, ask no favors. They're
ready, too. for their best per-
Torrance, even though hit hard
by the loss of key players in the
last couple OF weeks.
Squad Leaving Tomorrow
Coach Joe Kuharich will take
the squad to New York early
tomorrow and will work out at
Yankee Stadium in the after
noon. The coach wants every
body to familiarize themselves
with the turf. which is said to
be different from any playing
surface the Redskins have played
on this year. The report is that
lit is on the sandy side and
cleats sometimes catch when a
player tries to cut. Kuharich
also wants the kickers and pass
ers to get some idea of the air
currents in the big park.
At least 5000 WaShingtonians
are expected to make the trek,
along with the Redskins color
full marching band. Advance
ticket sales indicate a turnout
Of more than $4,000. The sta
dunn can accommodate more
than $4,000 and a good day
could boost attendance. The
forecast, however, calls for tenn
peratures in the 30S, with the
Possibility Of snow flurries.

This is the venerable Moore's
second shot at the heavyweight
title in little more than a year
A 4-to-l underdog. Archie was
bludgeoned into a ninth-round
knockout by Marciano on Sep
TENDER 81. 1855. That was the

Moore, but got up to slug out

would allow his man to tangle
with the crouching, cruel.
punching Moore, who conducted
a bizarre personal publicity cam
paign to get to the top.
Now, the big question is did
Moore reach the top after he was
over the hill? Did Marciano
pummel the real class out of him,
even though Archie since has
won II bouts against monde
script opponents?
True one of these victims was
Yolande Pompey. whom Moore
stopped in the 10th round to re-
tain his light-heavy title after
one Of his amazing reducing
hinges.
But Moore, who actually may
be 43 years old. faces youth and
speed tonight. Patterson adj
mittedly has been clererly ma
ueuvered through his 31-bout
pro career. His only defeat
came from joey Maxim, and his
only other rivals of merit were
jackson. Jimmy Slade, Archie
Mcbride and Willie Troy.
The expert consensus is that
Moore must nail Patterson early
or his aging legs will fail him
against Patterson's fast pace in
the late rounds.
AS for Patterson, two things
remain to be proved-can he
take a real punch and will his
mended right hand stand UP if
he takes a Sunday swing at
Moore. Patterson has not had
a bout since he broke his hand
against Jackson.
The contracts call for each
| fighter to get 80 per cent of the
gate and 100000 TV-radio
rights. a potential melon of
nearly $3.50, 1000.
The bout will be scored with
a referee and two judges, to be
named at fight time, using the
new viewpoint must" system
for the first time in a champion
ship fight. The system calls for
a round winner to get five points
and the loser any lesser number.
If a round is even, each fighter
gets five points.

Georgetown's claim to having

be an idle one.
