cause some other head to roll
Not many jobs are secure after
the teams second inept per-
Torrance in as many weeks.
With LeBaron still limping
Guglielmi had another chance
to establish himself solidly as
the No. l quarterback, but
missed. He broke Dick James
loose for a 39-year run the first
time the Redskins had the ball
but followed with a truant pass
that Jim Shofner intercepted
for Cleveland. In all, Goog COM
pleted only five of Is attempts
for rs yards and had three in
tercepted.
GOOg Injured Early
1t wasn't entirely his fault,
for the former Notre Damer had
a flock of cripples for a sup
porting cast, including himself.
Goog sprained his ankle early
in the game but, with his
mother and father in the stands
and LeBaron hurt, he insisted
on continuing.
End Joe Walton'S knee kept
him out of action again. Bill
Anderson, who caught a 28-yard
pass from Guglielmi for the
teams lone touchdown in the
third period, pulled a leg muscle
warming up before the game
and wasn't at his best even
though he hauled in four passes
for IS yards. Halfback Ed SUIT
ton didn't play and his running
mate, Jim Podoley. was in the
game only long enough to catch
one pass for no gain.
With Fullback Johnny Olszew-
ski playing halfback on the
same side as Carson's end, the
Browns didn't have to worry
about their deep men getting
beat on long throws. 1t allowed
them to concentrate on short
passes and the Redskins ground
offense, and they made the
most of it.
Brown Gets 122 Yards
Nixon said the teams failure
to come through with the big
play, especially near the end of
the half when the Redskins
were repulsed on the Browns
4-yard line, and the fact that
the defense was overworked
again were the deciding factors
Record-breaking Jim Brown
held to IL yards on his home
field by the Redskins last year,
amassed 1872 on II carries,
putting him over the 3,00O-yard
mark in his third year of pro
football. Brown dashed 80
yards for Cleveland's second
touchdown in the second period
on one of the Redskins earlier
lapses.
The threat of Browns run
ming, as Nixon later pointed
out, helped open the air lanes
for Quarterback Milt Plum,
who enjoyed his best day in
pro football with IS compile
tons in 10 passes for 253 yards
and four touchdowns.
I'VE had to play a fairly
tight line to try to contain
Brown" Nixon said, land that
gave Plum a better chance to
throw"
Mitchell Takes Off
Even so, the Washington
pass defense was not exactly
brilliant in spots. One spot
was late in the first period
when Plum threw a pass to
the mercury footed Bob by
Mitchell IN the fiat and he
went 76 yards to the goal fol-
the first of two touchdowns
Plum set this one up with a
a. yard line buck by Brown
followed by fake in the same
sector. Mitchell was wide open
with a three-man convoy.
Plum'S passes to Mitchell ano
Ray Renfro, both good for 1e
yards, helped set the trappingS
for Browns touchdown squirt
late in the second period. And
at that moment, it seemed thai
it was only a question of how
large the score would be.
Curiously, it was only mo.
ments later that the Redskins
got their big chance to get q
touchdown and make a con.
test of it. Sam Baker punteo
