BRISTOL, Tenn, Sept. q,
The Redskins twice led the
Champion Philadelphia Eagles
in their exhibition game here
tonight, 80 in the first period
and 1917 in the second, but
eventually it was the same old
story as the Eagles handed the
Washington team it's fourth
straight 1861 defeat, 17-10.
FIRST QUARTER
The Redskins lost the toss
but got the ball when Tim
Brown fumbled returning John
Aveni's kickoff and Bob Whit
low recovered for Washington
on the Eagles 81.
Ralph Guglielmi, using Don
BoSseler and Dick James as
the runners, took them to the
Philadelphia 8-yard line where
the attack fizzled. Aveni kicked
a 14-yard field goal. Redskins,
3; Eagles, 0.
The Eagles tried to match it
after Sonny Jurgensen'S passes
to Pete Retzlaff and Bobby
Walston helped move the ball
to the Redskins 81. But Bob
by Walston'S 29-yard attempt
was wide.
SECOND QUARTER
Back Jim Crotty intercepted
a long paSs-the Redskins first
long paSS-the Redskins first
interception of the year-on
the Washington two-yard line.
1t was intended for Retzlaff. A
melee between Fran O'BrienI
and an unidentified Eagle
cleared both benches-includ-
ing the coaches. but apparent
ly no damage was done.
The Redskins had to punt and
Sam Horner's boot rolled dead
on his own Al. On the first play
JurgenSen hit Walston with a
touchdown pass. Walston added
the point. Eagles, 7; Redskins, 3.
Lew Luce returned the kick
off to the Washington 20 and
Guglielmi took the Redskins the
rest of the way on two long
passes. The first went to Bill
Anderson for "a yards and the
second to Dick James for 48.
Both were sensational, but
James had to dive to snag his,
sliding into the end zone. Aveni
added the point. Redskins, 10;
Eagles, Z.
The Eagles struck back, 60
ing 80 yards on seven plays to
regain the lead on a 34-yard
pass from Jurgensen to Retz-
laff.. Walston kicked the point.
Eagles, IA: Redskins, 10.
THIRD QUARTER
M. C. Reynolds came in at
quarterback after the kickoff
and moved the Redskins from
their 25 to their Al. But he
fumbled there and Chuck
Webster recovered for the
Eagles on the Washington as.
With Ted Dean doing most
of the running, and aided by
a pass-interference penalty, the
Eagles bounded back to the
Redskins 5-yard line before a
holding penalty stopped them.
They settled for Walston's &C.
yard field goal. Eagles, IT;
Redskins, 10.
FOURTH QUARTER
Reynolds got the Redskins
rolling with a 29-yard pass to
Anderson and some nice run
ming by Horner But after
reaching the Philadelphia 27
he fumbled again.
After King Hill punted for
the Eagles, Guglielmi came
back in at quarterback. Run
ming on fourth down, and
again on first down, Guglielmi
went to the Eagles 29-yard
line, but crashed into the steel
mesh fence surrounding the
playing fiend and was knocked
out. Reynolds went in for him.
On the first play a pass
aimed at Lew Luce was inter-
cepted by Glenn Anderson on
Philadelphia's one-yard line.
Norman Snead next came in
at quarterback for the Red
skins. The Wake Forest rookie
completed passes to Dugan for
18 yards and Horner for 13,
but missed the next four.
