Evening star., 1959-11-23

were on the road, dictated a
short-pasSing game with en-
phasis on running. But Ralph
Guglielmi, who started at quar-
terback. hit only four of IA
intended receivers for a meager
80 yards and didn't come up
with the big play.
Day Completes Three
Eagle Day, who spent last
week working with the defen-
sive unit, went in cold when
Goog faltered. He made a
creditable showing with three
competitions in nine tosSeS for
80 yards, and, like Guglielmi,
frequently carried the ball. But
Day couldn't make the offense
60, chiefly because an aggres-
sive Packer line, led by Vir-
ginia's Henry Jordan, was on
its toes.
The Re dskins outgained
Green Bay on the ground, 215
yards to 1856, but did most of
their travelling between the 20
yard lines. They reached the
Packers f1ve-yard line in the
second quarter, the 16 in the
third and the Vineyard line in
the fourth and faltered each
time. On at least four other
occasions they were in Green
Bay territory before losing
momentum.
The frustrating day elimi-
mated the Washington eleven
from the championship race as
the New York Giants won. The
defeat, coupled with Pitts
burgh's upset victory over
Cleveland, buried the Redskins
deeper in fifth place, and left
the coaching staff in its bluest
mood of the season.

Hornung started the Packers
first touchdown march, a 98-
yard drive, with a 10-yard end
run on the last play of the first
period. Stars passes to Boyd
Dowler and Max MCGEE, and
the ball-packing of Hornung
and Taylor, moved it to the
Washington II before Starr hit
Knafelc in the end zone.
The second score came just
AZ seconds before the end of
the half after Jordan blocked
Sam Bakers 37-yard field goal
a mpt. Linebacker Hank
Gremminger picked up the ball
and got back to midfield. This
time Taylor, a compact 210-
FOUNDER, did most of the leg
work before Starr uncorked q
10-yard pass to MCGEE in the
end zone.
The Packers iced their fourth
victory of the season, which
followed string of five straight
setbacks, with a 79-yard parade
Immediately after the kickoff |
opening the second half. Hor-
nung started the drive with a |
17-yard end run and finished it |
with his 5-yard dash of tackle.
Paul also kicked all of his
teams extra points. but missed
a 47-yard field goal attempt in
the last quarter.
Redskins Try Everything
The Redskins resorted to
every weapon in their extensive
repertoire - tight T, double
wing, slot t-back, ETC., in an ef-
fort to find a weakness in the
Packers defense, but it was
simply no dice.
They tried running on fourth |
down with yard to go in the
first quarter only to have Tom
Belts stop Don BoSSeler. In the
third period Day. looking for a
receiver and finding none, took
off on fourth down and was
4 a foot short of making a first |
on Green Bays 16.
Richie McCabe gave the
Redskins their fourth-period |
scoring chance, one that looked
as though it would pay off. by
latching onto one of Starr's
passes at midf1eld and running
1t back to the Packer "A near
the end Of the third quarter |
Bosseler'S 12-yard run, followed
by Guglielmi's 12-yard pass to
Johnny Olszewski and a 9-yard
penalty against Green Bay for
rough1ng the passer, moved the
ball to the 9.
Olszewski lost a yard before
Goog aimed a pass at Joe WAL
ton in the end zone. Walton
made a sharp turn to complete
his pattern, slipped and fell, and
Gremminger gathered it in and
ran it out to his own 43-yard
line.
1t was Just another one of
those days for the Redskins.
