Philadelphia along with Tom Brooksher of the Eagles
in the fourth quarter This sometimes happens the NIL
but not to Carson and before in yesterdays setting
This was Franklin Field the somewhat threadbare
playground OF PennS Ivy Leaguers and their friends
where the had in through the front door for the
first time And this after all hands had been admonhed
to conduct themselves as gentlemen.
Imagine" steamed Carson, getting thrown out of
game for the first time in my life for doing nothing
played four years in high school, years in college
and this is fourth year in the league, and it
happened before"
All Carson did, he says was brush aside blow aimed
at him by Brooksher, who got little heated when John
blocked him out of play
WE THOUGHT THE EAGLES we're one of the most
unimpresSve opening opponents the Redskins have
faced in recent They looked sharper and faster at
Jacksonville Fla, few weeks ago. although the Gator
Bowls 15watt bulbs may have contributed to that illusion
When Norm Van Brockn failed to hit his receivers

Van Brocklin still puts lot of smoke the ball.
He can throw the home rum pass well any quar-

Trouble, though, is that the press may lose
other good friends like Jack Lavee the Giants portly

the west goal though that choice meant they had

Sam said after the game There you've got to drop the
ball little lower get spiral it, and put little
extra something into the kick But surprised
