should select the Ali-Star
squads. simply because their
qualifications are best. In the
last two years Cincinnati fans,
responding enthusiastically to
q newspaper promotion and
voting everybody except the
batboy to the National League
squad while fans in other cities
give All-Star voting the ho- hum
treatment. have demonstrated
conyincingly that the rule Of
the majority can be unfair IN
some instances.
But If the writers insist on
clinging to the notion that it's
imperative to decide who is
most valuable, some changes
are necessary. First. make the
voting public. Ballots now are
not signed. although for the
convenience of the organiza-
tons secretary, the name Of
the voter is placed on the ballot
before it is dispatched and so
the secretary, at least, knows
who voted for whom.
Such semi-secrecy should be
abandoned. putting the writer's

it's the feeling now that Roy

There can be little haggling
over Nantes choice by fair
minded fans. nor for the first-
place votes that were distrib-
uted among McDougald, Sic

talented. but only one may be
selected. The bleat, loud and
proper, is against the two un-

Pass Defense Fails Again
It was the old story yester-
day, no pass defense, plus a
new twist. the Redskins in
ability to score q touchdown
for the first time this season.
The Eagles had gained only 400
yards through the air in eight
games, but yesterday Sonny
Jurgensen of Duke completed
nine Of IA attempts for 2l1
wards and three touchdowns.
Two scoring throws went to
Tommy Mcdonald of Okla

Il.
On top of that, Eddie LeBaron
'llldn't come up with the big
ay for the Redskins despite
ven scoring chances. Two of
cBaron's throws in the last
quarter, when the team seemed
on the verge Of rallying, were
intercepted by Eddie Bell, for
mer Penn end. Another was
fumbled by Jim Podoley who
injured his knee, and was re-
covered by Philadelphia.
Coach Joe Kuharich, who
seems almost immune to shock
after the recent wave of sur
prises, was proud of the line,
which, helped hold the Eagles
to two first downs in the first
half. Philadelphia, spanked by
Clarence Peaks and Neil Wor-
den. gained only 122 yards on
the ground in contrast to 213
against the New York Giants
a week ago. Their passing yard
age was reduced to a net 1856
thanks to some sizeable losses
registered against Jurgensen by
Chef Ostrowski, Volney Peters
and Gene Brito, but it came in
big chunks.
DrazenOvich Intercepts
Chuck Drazenovich gave the
Redskins their first scoring
chance early in the first period
when he intercepted Jurgen-
sens throw intended for Rocky
Ryan, on the Philadelphia 80.
This drive was checked on the
8-yard line and Baker booted
his first three-pointer from the
10.
LeBaron's 36-yard peg to
Johnny Carson, two Bosseler
runs, a pass to Bosseler and a
penalty against the Eagles for
roughing LeBaron, again moved
the ball to the Eagles 8. But
Leo Elter lost four yards and
Bakers second field goal. from
the 10 this time, followed.
Someone in the press box
had just remarked that a
touchdown would wipe out this
advantage when Jurgensen
completed his first aerial in
five tries for 81 yards and a
touchdown, with Mcdonald
taking the ball over Joe Walton
and outrunning both him and
Scooter Scudero. Bobby Wal
ston's extra point put the
Eagles ahead. 7-6.
Less than two minutes Of the
first half remained when Po-
doley's running and LeBaron's
l3-yard toss to Carson-plus
another roughing assessment
against the Eagles-helped
nudge the ball to the Phila-
delphia 2-yard line. Ed SUIT

Baker, with 16 seconds left,

The Redskins elation didn't

the second half by sailing 76
yards to a touchdown that put
them ahead for keeps. Jurgen-
