WELL, THAT WAS A SHORT period
of optimism on the part Of the Redskins
and their boosters. Channel carried the
wreakage of the high hopes on Saturday
night from Charlotte. There never seemed
a time, even when the second-quarter score
was merely 1877, that the Skins were a
match for the Philadelphia Eagles, who
finally wrapped it up, Alb.
Things had been looking so bright,
too. Against the Chicago Bears in D. C.
Stadium on August Is the Redskins looked
good enough to get excited about. They
lost, 1926, but it was a chiller-diller and
the Bears were rated as vastly improved
team that could even be title threat. In
the same Western Division as the Green
Bay Packers, too
The Eagles were supposed to be
shot-up ball club. They'd finished last
in the Eastern wing last year with 3-10-1
record. They allegedly were getting old,
and some observers even expressed the
opinion that if Head Coach Nick Skorich
didn't jazz up his guys he might be finished.

the other to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Most
critics picked them to finish seventh in
their division, which is as low as possible.
The Redskins must have been so over
whelmed at being installed one-point
favorites that they forgot to play their
game. All the old bad habits cropped up
again. The team was flat The pass de-
tense was leaky. The running attack was
nil.
To top 1t off, Quarterback Norm Snead
had bad evening. Bill McPeak, head
coach and general manager, knows there
are times when guy should have stayed
in bed and mercifully relieved Snead. He
put in George Izo, who almost never plays,
and the ex-Notre Damer did succeed in
freshening up what had become a late,

evening wasn't quite the topper. There
was a score that was coming over the
wires that was disheartening The big

to have held to 1926, were soundly

ments on Saturday, perhaps, were the pass

GAME CAUSES NIGHTMARE
FOR LINE COACH GIBRON

CARLISLE, Pa. Aug. 26-The Redskins played such
bad game against the Eagles at Charlotte N c.. Sat-
day night that Line Coach Abe Gibron dreamed that he
had been reactivated.
ABE woke up dreaming he was our third guard and
second center" Coach Bill McPeak related Worked at it
pretty hard too, because he had charley-horse."

poured in on quarterbacks Nor
man Snead or George Izo.
I'VE played as badly as we
did against the Rams last
year." McPeak said, referring tc
a 37-7 rout in the opening ex-
hibition. But we saw improve
ment in some little phase in
each game after that until we
beat the Bears and then gave
the Packers a good run for it,
This time we slipped back after
playing a good game against
the Bears. That's what both
ers me-"
Penalties Hurt
McPeak said he couldn't
blame the offense, which had
to start between its one-yard
and 15-yard lines almost every
time it got the ball. In that
position the quarterback had to
be cautious and play conserva-
tive football.
Penalties also were costly.
Jim Steffen's 29-yard kickoff
return to his own 81 following
the Eagles second touchdown,
was nullified by a clipping pen
atty. Dick James kickoff run
from the end zone to midfield
at the start of the second half
was voided by a similar pen
atty. In the first instance the
team had to start from its IA,
and in the second from the IL.
Almost Immediately after
James run, a 25-yard pass
from Snead to Bill Anderson
was offset by still another PEN
atty, putting the ball back on
the seven-yard line.
The second Eagle touchdown
almost was a gift, following
Fred Dugan's tumble, recovered
by Make Baughan on WASH
ington's 80. Five plays later

sen in the second half anc
threw a 28-yard touchdown
pass to Paul Dudley, and later
tossed a 24-yard scoring strike
to Ken Gregory. In between Tin
Brown ran five yards for q
score and Ted Dean dived
over from the 1-yard line for
another.
The Redskins scores came
on a 16-yard throw from Snead
to Bobby Mitchell and a 49,
yard toss from IZo to Dick
James. The latter was a spec
tacular catch in the end zone
with Dick going high to make
a one-hand catch, momentarily
juggling the ball before coming
down with 1t.
Some Praise
McPeak was irked because the
Redskins didn't once get to
either Eagle quarterback, even
though the Philadelphians have
somewhat of a patchwork
line"
The only players McPeak
praised without seeing the films
were Defensive Halfback John
ny Sample, who was not to
blame for a touchdown SEEM
ingly scored in his territory,
and Halfback Billy Barnes.
Vince Promuto played most of
the game with a fractured
hand but should be ready for
the Colts, although the hand
will be in a cast. Center Fred
Hageman and Guard John Mis-
by should be ready. Tackle
Riley MattSon will get some
badly needed practice, and Bob
Toneff probably will be shift
ed back to defensive tackle.

H0MERs SUPPORT OsTEEN
Cheney and Ridzik Take on Twins
by MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

Tom Cheney, without a de-
cision since July 4, is going
to try to sneak one in before
Labor Day. He pitches against
the Twins tonight in the first
game of a ble-header.
Despite only five scattered
appearances in seven weeks be-
cause of a sore arm, Cheney
still is the big winner on the
Senators staff with eight VIC
tories. He has an 80 record.
Steve Ridzik, who beat the
Twins last Sunday in Mime
sofa, will pitch the nightcap.
Dick Stigman, second in the
American League in complete
games, and Jim Kaat will pitch
for the Twins.
The Senators, who won two
in a row on their recent visit
to Minnesota, will have some
thing to say about the second
place scramble in their double
headers with the Twins tonight
and Thursday afternoon.
OSteen Hats Angels
Claude Osteen, who pitched
his second complete game of
the year without giving up a
walk, checked the Angels can
nonading yesterday as he
pitched the Senators to a Al
victory.
The Angels, who had IS hits
and q runs in the first two
games of the series, had two
hits and a run from the first
three batters yesterday and
somebody said, Here they go
again."
But that was their last run
as Osteen was tight with men
on base and won his seventh
game on an eight-hitter. It
was only his fourth complete
game in % starts.
Although the Angels had 43
hits in the three games here,
the Senators outhomered them,
81.
Phillips, King Connect
Dick Phillips supplied tn e
winning runs when he hit his
sixth homer over the fence in
right in the fifth inning off
Dan Osinski. Don Blasingame,
who had three straight singles,
was on base.
Jim King collected his 22d
home run when he easily
cleared the fence in right off
Jack Spring in the eighth
inning. The clout put Jim in
a tie with Don Lock, his roomie,
for the club homer lead.
The victory enabled the Sen
ators to split the season series
with the Angels, their expan-
sion rivals, at nine games each.
NOTES-Albie Pearson, who
has added is points to his
average since the Senators were
in Los Angeles 10 days ago,
may be a threat for the batting
title. He had seven hits in this
series. Harold Yount, who
has been visiting here from
Statesville, N. c., at least once
a year for more than 40 years,
and never has seen the Sena-
tors lose, was on hand yester-
day and preserved his record.
The Angels used three
pitchers and two catchers in
holding the Senators Scoreless
in the sixth inning, and al
most needed three catchers.
OsinSki left after Kings lead
off single. Paul Foytack gave up
a single, a fielder's choice and
pitched three wide ones to Ken
Retzer and was relieved by Art
Fowler. Catcher Bob Rodgers
was spiked by Jim King on a
force play at the plate, and
was relieved by Ed Sadowski.
Sadowski caught a foul tip on
the arm, and there was some
doubt as to whether he could
continue.

John A. Naples. whose con-

The superintendent Of st

that Naples was cooperative
for about a month after he was
placed in the hospital on court
orders.
However, DR.. Cameron said,
Naples then refused to submit

refused to appear at q staff
