NORFOLK. Va. Aug. q
(SpeciaD Norm Van Brock
Inns passing figures to give the
Philadelphia Eagles an edge
over the Redskins tonight in
their exhibition game here. A
crowd of about $4,000 is ex-
.pected for the first pro- contest
here since 1854.
Still looking for their first
victory after two setbacks, the
Redskins will depend on a
patched-up secondary, in which
Billy Brewer of Mississippi is
slated to make his pro debut
at one safety position, to halt
Van Brocklin's passing and the
running of Billy Barnes, Clar-
ence Peaks and others. Van
Brocklin. with five touchdown
passes in two games, will take
a lot of stopping.
Eagle Day. who completed 10
out of 19 passes after taking
over for injured Ralph Gugliel-
mi, will direct the Redskins
attack.
Both teams hoped for a fast
field. despite several days of
rain, which was supposed to
end today. The forecast was for
clearing skies with the evening
temperatures dropping into the
70s from the low 8Os.
The Eagles tripped the Red
skins twice in league play last
season, barely escaping a tie in
the first by stopping a last
minute Washington drive on
the 1-foot line. But it was no
contest in the return engage
ment, with Van Brocklin hav-
ing a field day.
But if the game follows the
pattern of the last exhibition
encounter between the two, it
will be fast, furious and close.
The Redskins squeezed by their
rivals two years ago at Jack
sonville. Fla, 35-31. with Ed
Sutton's 75-yard touchdown
run featuring the offense.
In their first two starts this
year, the Eagles defeated the
Los Angeles Rams, 20-7, and
lost to the San Francisco Forty
Miners, 1923. The latter game
was marked by a brawl in
which both bench hes we're
