STATISTICS

Joe said today. This is no time
to get panicky. We played
badly and we got beat. You
can't make as many mistakes as
we did and win. They took adj
vantage of our errors and made
fewer of their own-that was the
difference.
I'VE made EN- look good. .
Backfield Coach Mike Nixon
added. THE Steelers played good
ball but we helped them along
They're not that good"
Fumbles Prove Costly
The coaches undoubtedly were
thinking of successive Redskins
fumbles, following Pittsburgh
IkickoffS late in the third quarter
and early in the fourth, that SET
up two quick touchdowns for the
ISteelers and put the game on ice
The Redskins had been outplayed
up to that point, but on the
Iscoreboard they were sill in the
running, It's.
Pittsburgh fans are saying that
the Steelers have the kind OF
team the Redskins had a year
ago. They aren't loaded with
All-Pro talent, but they've got a
lot of hustle and drive, plus a
winning spirit.
Statistics bear that out. On
the ground the Redskins were
held to rs yards and got only one
first down. They found it almost
impossible to run against a line
featuring big Willie McClung
and old. reliable Ernie Stautner
The few times Redskins backs
broke through they were greeted
by 230-pound Marv Matuszak,
Dale Dodrill and Johnny Roger,
three corking good linebackers,
and it was a warm, rough re-
ception.
LeBarOn OF Form
1t was different in the air, as
the Redskins completed Is of
their 26 passes for lit yards,
while the Steelers were checked
with 83. And the overall pic
ture doesn't give Pittsburgh too
much the better of it-225 yards
to Washington'S 1872. The big
difference was that the Steelers
took full advantage of every
scoring opportunity-including
the two fumbles-while their de-
fensive line outplayed the Red
skins from here to next week.
A couple of field goals by Sam
Baker from the AZ and Al yard
lines, in the second quarter and
Eddie LeBaron's 15-yard pass
to Steve Meilinger of Kentucky
in the fourth period summed up
the Redskins scoring for the
day.
LeBaron, far from his usual
form, was outplayed by 5-foot-
10 Ted Marchibroda, who COM
pleted six of his 10 passes for
83 yards and one touchdown.
Marchibro6a seemed to have
stolen a page from Eddie's book,
taking Off with the ball on four
occasions for a net gain of IL
yards. much to the delight of his
hometown audience. LeBaron,
on the other hand, seemed I'M
sure of himself at times and was
not at all up to his best effort.
ChandnOis, Click Shine
Lynn Chandnois, former Mich
igan State star. scored three of
his teams touchdown's and set
up another with an 86-yard kick
of return. ChandnoiS gained
only IL yards on seven running
plays. but went two yards for the
games first score in the opening
quarter. and dashed four yards
around end for Plttsburgh's final
tally. His kickoff return led To
Ia l-yard touchdown plunge by
Marchibroda. and Lynn later
took a l7-yard scoring pass from
the little man.
