Baker OutbOOts Van BrOckIin
While LeBaron was outgun-
ming Van Brocklin, lately of Los
Angeles, Sam Baker was out
booting him. Baker kicked a
33-yard field goal and missed
from the 36-yard line. More
important was his spectacular
42-yard punting average into
a spanking breeze.
More pleasing to the Wash
ington coaching staff, however,
was the defensive line play
that choked off the Eagles
speedy backs with so yards.
Kuharich credited the line with
swinging the victory to the
Redskins. Philadelphia's long
est gains were 8-yard runs by
Clarence Peaks and Bill Barnes.
Both Eagles scores were gifts,
following Redskin fumbles. The
second came after an unbeliev-
able string of good breaks for
the losers.
Philadelphia got its first
touchdown on a 1-yard smash
by Barnes after Don Owens, a
Redskin tackle last year, re-
covered Sid Watson's tumble
on the Washington 15-yard
line.

tumble, caused by Linebacker

the same man. On the first
play, Walston shared his lone
pass of the afternoon, a diving

Barnes was stopped on the next
play, but an offside penalty
moved the ball to the three.
Barnes fumbled on the next
play, but Center Chuck Bed

backfield, but the former
