Errotic Giants Fall Flat
On Their Momentum

NEW YORK, NOV. 25.-The football
Giants used to be like the baseball Yankees
before the recent World Series. They al
most never beat themselves; they let the
enemy make the mistakes. And when the
chinkS in the armor showed, they struck
But the Giants, too, are only human.
They also make mistakes and that is the
primary reason why there is triple tie for
first place in a four-team race for the
Eastern Division title in the National Foot
ball League.
On day when neither the Giants nor
their 24-17 conquerors, the st. Louis Car
dinalS, felt much like playing football
game, the Eastern champs fell flat on their
momentum. They had won five games in a
row and seemed destined to capture their
sixth division crown in eight years.
WED have to be roaring to make so
many mistakes and win," Coach Allie Sher-
man lamented in the dressing room after

ALLIE SEEMED TO BE IN slight daze.
The young leader had never seen the
Giants fall apart. Five times they fumbled,
twice losing the ball. Twice the Cards
intercepted the fantastic Y. A. Titles
passes. Twice the Giants hurt themselves
with interference penalties.
Nobody else could remember a Giant
team so cratic Once in the final period

and couldn't score. Moments later they had

ceded Naturally there was some tension
That's when you tumble. There wasn't
much concentration or practive leading up
to this game"
IN ANOTHER PART of the clubhouse
a much-interviewed Cardinal player was
saying the same thing. The young man
sat on the milking stool in front of his
locker. With the red-and-white helmet off
his head, Charlie johnson looked younger
than his "a years and for one so widely
regarded as the NILS passing genius Of
tomorrow he appeared fragile.
Somebody congratulated him.
I'm not happy at all about the way
I played" said Johnson, who completed
only seven passes but threw for two touch
downs and matched little in this respect.
II wasn't concentrating; wasn't mentally

johnson, who is working on his Phi. D.
in chemical engineering, didn't mention the
national tragedy. What was the trouble2"
he was prompted.
The boy from New Mexico State re-
moved his shoulder pads slowly and looked

"OH, WAS JUST wrong" he said. "I

wrong"
Johnson completed only three of is
passes in the first half, and the Giants led,

he went on. "Randle and Conrad were
getting free, but I wasn't feeding them
the ball. I was wrong didn't have any

The dressing room interview is tradi-
ton. Coach Lemm soon warmed up little.

half that we couldn't handle" Wally said.

You almost needed an cleo

Bill McPeak professed to see

evident on defense yesterday to
a sellout crowd of 60,671 who

Sanders Gets Revenge

The player who most enjoyed
yesterdays victory had to be
Rookie Lonnie Sanders, defen-
sive halfback from Michigan
State. He was Sonny Jurgen-
sens pet pigeon in the first
game with Philadelphia as the
redhead hit II receivers for
315 yards and four touchdowns.
Sonny completed 10 out Of 81
yesterday for 203 yards this
time, but only one went for a
touchdown. A half dozen others
almost connected-almost but
not quite. And Sanders was
the one who tipped most OF
them away from Tommy Nc
Donald, Pete Retzlaff and Tim
Brown.
With McPeak's future still
unsettled here, the Redskins
had to beat the 3-point ia
vorites to give the coach at
least a fighting chance for a
new contract. They served
notice that they'll be bad news
for their last three opponents.
McPeak credited the defense
with saving yesterdays game
when the offense folded up
after helping itself to a 1870
lead in the first half. The
Eagles were only 4 yards away
from the winning touchdown
in the last quarter before the
defense called a halt. Phila-
delphia missed a tie when Mike
Clark's 16-yard field goal at
tempt was wide.
1T was a great defensive
effort" McPeak said, smiling
for a change. 1T was their
day"

Move Well as Start

NAONC VGA 40 OSSAN
The cool, sunny afternoon
began like it might be the
usual good first-half offense-
no defense performance by
Washington. Norman Snead's
passes to Dick James, Bobby
Mitchell and Don BosseleI
twice took them deep into
Eagle territory in the first
quarter. They got three points
ION Bobby Khayat's S7-yard
field goal, but Irv Cross
blotted out the second drive
by pilfering a pass intended
for Fred Dugan.
Khayat kicked a 16-yard
field goal in the second quar-
ter before Snead found the
touchdown combination fol-
the first and last time. Claude
Crabb's interrogation, with a
29-yard return, put the ball
on the Eagle 81. Snead missed
Mitchell but speared James
for the score on his second
try, and that was it for the
day.
The Redskins had the ball
for 38 plays in the first half
completely dominating the
action. BY contrast they had
lit for five in the third period
and IL in the last.
Snead and Pat Richter had
trouble passing and punting,
respectively, because Of the
brisk wind, but the quarterback
handled himself well in the
first half. Richter's punting
and his tumble helped ignite
the Philadelphia rally that al
most proved disastrous.
From midfield, where Dave
Lloyd fell on the tumble, the
Eagles advanced to the IS.
One pass completion in three
tries by Jurgensen Melted a
yard. Almost in desperation the
