But this time our kids fooled
them"
| Indeed. the Giants may have
gotten that FIRST touchdown toe
early and too easily before the
Redskins defense jelled. WASH
lington players said the Giants
acted as though they had an.
other soft touch at the begin
ming. and fell to arguing among
themselves when the Redskins
forged ahead.
Filipski's tumble Costly
/ The Washington eleven got q
much-needed break after fail
ingst to gain on its first chance
with the ball. Sam Baker, who
later booted a 22-yard field goal
that clinched the game. got OF
q towering punt to Gene Flip
ski. Standing on his own 23-
yard line. the one-time villa
nova star apparently intended
to try q runbaek. but. hearing
the pounding hooves Of on
coming Redskins. judiciously
raised his hand to signal for a
fair catch. With q covey Of
Redskins practically looking
down his throat. Filipski FUN
bied. and Leo Filter pounced on
the ball for Washington.
That chance was all the Red
skins needed. Eddie LeBaron.
who had another Of his good
days. noticed a switch in the
Giants defensive lineup after
giving his signal in the huddle.
LeBaron called an audible sig
nal. designed especially for the
situation. giving the ban TO
North Cardinals Ed Sutton on
an end sweep. Sutton swung
wide TO his right. shook on EN-
Tunnel. Johnny Brookman and
Harland Svare and stomped %
yards for the tying touchdown.
The score touched on a chain
reaction that may have seri-
ously damaged the Giants hopes
OF repeating as champions.
Scarcely two minutes later. the
Giants had to punt and Don
Chambers kick settled in the
arms Of Bert Zagers on his own
24-yard line. Zagers glanced
hastily at q horde Of oncoming
Giants and seemingly headed
for the most congested spot on
the field near the Redskins
bench. He was in high gear in
three steps and at midfield ned
behind q bristling convoy Of
teammates busily moving down
blue-shirted Giants.
Zagers Goes IS Yards
The group included Don Bos-
seller. Ralph FELTON, and Don
Owens. Also present was Bob
Dee, q gentleman from Holy
Cross. who spotted 240-pound
Jack Spinks making tracks for
Zagers. Dee blasted him out
of the way and Bert had only
one more man in front OF him,
Chandler. Eager took q firmer
grip on the ball. pushed a
straight left--a stiff arm-into
Chambers face. and continued
the rest Of the way for a To-
yard run.
II the Giants didn't know
they were beaten then. they
got the idea early in the second
quarter when Johnny Carson
took q 2l-yard pass from Le-
Baron for the touchdown that
completed q 69-yard advance.
This started after the WASH
ington defensive line held
Bobby Epps and Frank Clifford
on two tries for a yard that
would have given New York a
first down on the Redskins 30.
The Giants got back into the
ball game with q 63-yard adj
vance. capped by Conerly's
3-yard thrust over right tackle
late In the quarter. But that
was the end Of their scoring
for the day.
Dick James. who had been
one Of the cuiprits in the Red
skins weak pass defense in
last weeks rout BY the Cardi-
mails here, made up for 1t in
the third quarter by latching |
onto a Coneriy throw to initiate |
a 59-yard march for the fourth |
touchdown.
Bosseler Scores
LeBaron. who completed six
Of his eight passes. used three
during this stretch. tossing to
Jim Podoiey, Carson and SUIT
ton. for 40 yards that helped
plant the ball on the Giants
l-yard line. Bosseler drove over
center for the score.
James interrogation was one
Of three for the Washington
squad. which had only one in
four games before yesterday.
The last two came in the final
quarter when the Redskins
