Square Records
In Exhibitions
BY the Associated Press

San FraAclSco'S Forty Miners
and the Green Bay Packers are
the only pro football teams with
unblemished exhibition records,
but the Chicago Bears have
started to rumble.
The Bears. beaten by the
Giants in the 1856 playoff,
sprang loose a rookie halfback
named Willie Galimore yester-
day and dealt the Philadelphia
Eagles their fifth straight set
back. 24-14.
In Saturdays games. the
Forty Miners and Packers each
won their fourth straight, with
San Francisco defeating the
winlesS Chicago Cardinals. 81
81. and Green Bay downing the
Giants. 1910. Yesterday, the
Pittsburgh Steelers made their
record % by turning back the
Detroit Lions. 20-14. and the
Washington Redskins won their
first in four with a 24-l4 VIC
tory over the Baltimore Colts.
Galimore, a 100 : FOUNDER
from Florida Ann, reeled of
touchdown runs of "a and 100
yards as the Bears made their
exhibition record. 2-1-l. Cali
more'S l00-yarder came on q
kickoff return seconds after
the Eagles had tied the score
at l4-l4 early in the final quar-
ter. He opened the scoring
with a 74-yard sprint on the
second play Of the game.
Playing before 1853 fans
in clear, cool weather. the
Eagles appeared to be in for
a real drubbing as the Bears
pushed their lead to 14-0 be-
fore the end Of the first quar-
ter. The second touchdown
came on a 67-yard pass and
lateral play. Ed Brown threw
to Harlan Hill on the so and
Hill lateraled to Rick Casares,
who scored.
The Eagles got their aerial
game going in the second half,
and with Sonny Jurgensen,
former Duke star. doing the
throwing. set up touchdowns
in the third and fourth quar-
tiers. The scores came on l.
yard plunges by Dick Bielski
and Neil Worden.
Coach Buddy Parker. in full
charge Of Pittsburgh for the
first time since taking over a
month ago. saw the Steelers
turn on his old club with a
great display Of defensive
strength after taking a POT
lead going into the final period.
The Lions Joe Schmidt
scooped up a tumble and scored
in the first period. but then
Pittsburgh took over.
Teddy Marchibroda's passing
set up the first Steeler score,
with Fran Rogel plunging the
final yard. Dick Hughes raced
SO yards on a punt return early
in the third period and Gary
Click quickly added two field
goals as insurance.
Bobby Layne engineered a
late Detroit score on a fine
pass series. finally hitting Jerry
Reichow crossing deep in the
end zone.

changed all that. ! think we're
going to be all right"
LeBaron went all the way at
quarterback as the Redskins
scored their first preseason
victory over the Colts in five
tries. The little man completed
six Of eight passes for SO yards
and piled up FOG on the ground.
LeBaron's two truant losses
fell into enemy hands and one
almost ricocheted into a Balti-
more touchdown. But the Red
skins "old guard" was in mid
season form and with Kimmel,
Volney Peters. Chef Ostrowski.
Gene Brito. Ralph FELTON, and
Chuck Drazenovich digging in,
stopped this thrust a foot short
Of the goal line.
The magnificent Washington
ground defense decided the is
sue. holding the Colts speedy
and versatile backs to LOG yards
and choking them off COM
pletely when they got within
scoring range.
Only a few moments after
their stand on the 1-foot- line,
the linemen twice rebuffed
Long Gone" Dupre and Alan
Ameche when they needed only
a yard for first down on the
Washington IS that would have
set UP at least a field goal try.
The line not only had Balti-
more's attack figured correctly
but went after the Colts with
their old vigor.
Hecker Intercepts Pass
On the ,ther hand, the Red
skins pass defense was spotty,
although 1t looked better than
in the first three games. The
Colts. paced by Quarterback
Johnny Unitas, took the over
head route for IS yards and
their first score in the third
period. and 40 yards for their
second in the last quarter. They
almost got a third six-pointer
when Unitas' dash Of % yards
on the final play was a yard
short Of the goal.
There we're no complaints,
however, about the way Norb
Hecker intercepted Unitas' pass
on the Colts "A and lateralled
10 Tom Braatz of Marquette on
the rs, permitting the rookie
end to score his first touch
down in pro competition.
Hecker took out Unitas, who
was coming up fast, to clear
the way for Braatz.

yards for the Redskins second
touchdown later in the opening
quarter. An 1l.yard pass from
LeBaron to Johnny Carson
who caught a total Of four
and a series of running plays
by Dale Atkeson and Billy Wells
helped set up Scudero's run.

threesome of Jim Podoley, Ed

second half. and they obliged
by punching over another score
on IA plays. But. again. it was

ball to the Colts 5-yard line.
from where Bosseler took it
over on three tries.
Baker Boots Field Goal
Washington's final points
came on Sam Bakers 32-yard
field goal, which atoned for a
39-yard miss in the first period.
Unitas' 81 yard throw to Dick
Myers of Indiana Central
touched off the Colts first
touchdown drive. 1t covered IS
yards and Myers would have
gone all the way II he hadn't
lost his balance and fallen on
the Washington 81. An 8-yard
toss to Ray Berry was followed
by a 9-yard throw to Lenny
Moore in the end zone.
Myers got the second Balti-
more touchdown at the end Of
49-yard advance on another
Unitas pass. Myers helped set
up this one with a diving catch
for IL yards on the 6-yard line,
after Unitas had thrown to
Dupre for 10.
The Colts picked on young
Joe Walton. making his debut
as a wingback. but his rack
em-up tactics had potential
receivers looking around be-
fore it was over. and he showed
all the earmarks Of fitting the
position.

A visitor from Toledo, where
the National Open championship
will be played in a couple of
weeks. was saying after a round
at Congressional the other day
that 1t was nice to play a course
where you could stray from the
fairway and not get lost.
The visitor was Richard Moore,
brother Of George Moore at Con-
|gressional. and the former is a
member Of Inverness, where the
Open will be played, starting
June Is. They had q tourna-
ment for some of the best
amateurs in the State there the

He said the rough was un-
bearable. and had been allowed
to grow into the fairways.
Witty Cox was listening, but
the Congressional pro wasn't too
impressed.
1T can't he any tougher than
it was in 1881. when l could
have won the Open there" Cox
volunteered. 81 hit my drive
of the first tee into the rough,
and had to play a niblick back
into the fairway. ! was lucky to
find the ball. the rough was so
high.
ION the second hole I took out

Of the tournament. ! was playing
with Gene Sarazen, and after
he saw me use a spoon on the
second hole, he started driving
with a spoon. They call 1t a No.

wink.
That was the year that Billy
Burke and George Won Elm
tied at 292, and Burke A.
nally won the second 36-hole
playof. Cox had come to
the last hole needing q vir-
Itually impossible eagle 2 to
tie. but gambled so hard for q
birdie 3 that would have beaten
Leo Diegel for third place, that
he finally took six and tied for
fourth with Wild Bill Mehlhorn
