twice in a row before the play
on which he was injured.

have improved in the second
half is doubtful. for the Browns

when Lou Groza missed 81
yard field goal with his team
nursing a 14-10 lead. They
seemed to be looking for in
surance then.
The play that put the Red
skins back in contention was
Bert Zagers' 56-yard punt re-
turn for a touchdown late in
the last quarter. It was exc
cuted beautifully with Zagers,
who went 70 yards on a similar
run last week against the
Giants. directing the blocking
by Ralph FELTON, and Eddie
Khayat. This pair took out
Lahr and Galen Fiss. and
Zagers faxed the punter,
Kenny Konz, out of his way
near the goal line to go over un-
molested.
One more time on offense
might have turned defeat into
victory for the Redskins, and
Norb Hecker tried to get that
chance with an onside kickoff.
But the ball bounced out of
bounds with a trio Of white

yards on 81 tries before the day
was over, and Chef Hanulak,
former Maryland star. bore the
brunt of this drive, with Brown
hitting over tackle for the last
four yards.
The Redskins held their hosts
well in hand during the second

bottled up on their own back
