Cowboys Quickly Spoil
Year Of Big Defense
By FRANCIS sTANN

Redskins remains one of the good passing
threats. At Dallas the little guy alter
Mates often after each play, with Don
Meredith.
In an era in which coaches stick to
one quarterback until he's carried off on
a stretcher, LeBaron and Meredith took
turns last year and with such productive
results that Dallas led in team passing with
an S.O5-yard average.

EACH TIME EDDIE or Don called a

an average Of yards. The trouble was
that when the other club ran play 1t was
good for e.3 yards"
The Redskins and Cowboys already
have something in common this season.
Both have run afoul of the new" Jim
Brown OF Cleveland, who Is a man with
oblique vengeance in his heart. Obviously
the big veteran likes playing under Blan-
ton Collier, his new coach, as much as he
had grown to dislike working for Paul
Brown the last couple Of seasons.
The ex-Syracuse star tailed off In
ground-gaining in go, although he fin
ished No. in the league. For almost any
other ball carrier 1t would have been a
good performance for a RedSkin, sensa-
tionaD but for Jim 1t was subpar.
BUT NOW IT'S THE OLD, explosive
Brown again. He led the 543-yard assault
against the Redskins and on Sunday he
took apart the Cowboys. All by himself
he gained 232 yards, including touchdown
runs Of II and So yards, and ran his two
game total to 1894 yards and five tbs.
All Of sudden the Cleveland Browns
have projected themselves squarely into
the Eastern Division title picture, although
1t might be argued that they haven't beaten
an established top-flight team yet. Nor
are they to meet one in their third game
because merely the Los Angeles Rams are
next.
The Big Game coming up Sunday, as
far as the East Is concerned, will be at
Pittsburgh, where the unbeaten st. Louis
Cardinals, all the better for having placed
the quarterbacking in the hands Of Charlie
Johnson, oppose the Pittsburgh Steelers
likewise unbeaten and a big winner over
the Giants, $40.
The Giants sans Y. A. Title II might
be added. The Giants are the defending
Eastern champions but now 1t seems rea-
sonable TO assure that It's matter Of nc
Title, no title.

PRESUMED Perrin
Milwaukee landed the Braves
by telling former Owner Lou
Perrin to move the club here
from Boston or the city would
take the st. Louis Browns, then
owned by Bill Veeck, who also
was interested in the new Sc
million stadium.
Perini made the move after
the club had started spring
training for the 1853 season,
and for 10 years had no reasons
for regret. the Braves drew l.
826,937 fans the first season,
and more than 2 million In each
of the next 4 years. The at
tendance in 1857, when the
Braves won the pennant and
the world championship, was g.
215, 404.
They repeated as league
champions the follwoing year,
but attendance dropped below 2
million that season. 1t contin-
ued to slide, hitting only 766,
927 last year. The club must
draw 10000 in the last five
dates this week to match that
figure.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

AMONG THE ABSURDITIES con-
nected with the National Football League
is that Dallas is an Eastern" city, and
Baltimore is West" Another is that Dallas
figures to win the Eastern Division, which
is what Mr.. Tex Maule of posh and often
presumptuous national weekly has pre-
dicted.
Maule has spent goodly number Of
years concentrating on pro football, moth
Ing else, and his yield has included fiction
books and articles as well as cold, analyt-
ical appraisalS When he picked the Cow
boys to prevail this year it was hard to tell
in which realm Of letters he was operating.
The Cowboys move into Washington
this week to open the Redskins home sea-
son, and If the Texans win the title they
will have to do it the hard way. They were
heavily leaned on in their opener by the
lightly regarded st. Louis Cardinals, BAT,
and on Sunday the Cleveland Browns left
'em for dead, 41-24.
And this is supposed to be the Year
Of the Big Defense for the Cowboys. In
their fourth season in the NIL they we're
to have been shored up, both In defensive
line and backfield, by Coach Tom Landry.
-,
THE OFFENSE THEY already had. 1t
was one Of the best last season. They scored
1893 points, tying the New York Giants,
and were topped only by the Green Bay
Packers, but paper-thin defense killed
them.
Every time the other team completed
q pass on us last year." Coach Landry has
stated, ut gained Is yards Nobody ran
on us because they didn't have TO-"
The only team in the NIL that had
less defense than Dallas In 1862 was the
porous Redskin outfit, and after what
Cleveland did to the Cowboys on Sunday
the Skins own 37-4 defeat by the Browns
doesn't seem quite so horrendous.
1t has long been maintained by coaches
and sundry other inner-circle brains that
defense is harder to teach than offense.
The Cowboys seem to bear out the truth
OF this contention. Landry, not only COM
petent coach but considered by some OBJ
servers TO rank 1928 in pro ball, has been
concentrating on defense for three years
now and his progress has been negligible.
No club wins many games by giving up
rs points in two games, and the Cowboys
now stand at Oh.

Wiley Feagin's injury Is the
most serious of three suffered
by the Redskins against the
Rams, but Johnny Samples
could be the most costly. 1t
may be Thursday before club
officials know whether the pep
perry defensive halfback will be
able to face the Cowboys Sun
day at D. c. Stadium in the
first home game of the season.
Feagin, an offensive guard
picked up from the Colts this
season, suffered a severe con-
fusion of the right knee and
will be sidelined three to four
weeks. His loss is a blow, but
Coach Bill McPeak will put him
on the injured reserve list and
expects to sign a replacement
for him tomorrow.
Fullback Jim Cunningham
sprained an ankle and will have
to rest a couple of days. He
should be okay Sunday, but If
not adjustments can be made
to take up the slack in the
backfield.
Others Ailing
Sample, who has a possible
torn ligament above the right
knee, is another matter. Ad'
justments can and will be made
at his left wing position, but
finding another player with
Johnny's speed and savvy is
something else again. This is
McPeak's big worry this week.
There were others hurt at Los
Angeles, but the trio mentioned
were the most seriously dam
aged. End Pat Richter bruised
his right shoulder and Halfback
Billy Barnes suffered a hip in
Jury. Tackle Ben Davidson has
a bruised leg, and Linebacker
Bob Pellegrini q slight back
sprain.

Job of rushing the passer, !;

Drysda|e Poised to Pitch Flag Cincher
Strong Close Adds
To Dodger Pride

LOS ANGELES, Sept. "a
(AP).-For the Dodgers the
long, hot summer seems over.
The champagne is cold. The
magic number is one.
One victory by the Dodgers,
which could come tonight at
the Nets expense, or one loss
by the Cardinals, who play the
Cubs today is all that the
Dodgers need for the National
League pennant.
A Los Angeles radio station
announced plans to broadcast
progress Of the afternoon
Cards-C Cubs game every half
inning, and the listeners are
sure to include a bunch Of guys
who would like to drive to
Dodger Stadium as champions.

II don't care how we win it,
or by what Device" said Don
Drysdale, the big, side-arming
pitcher who stands q chance to
be the device Of which he
speaks He's pitching tonight
against the Nets.
They can't say we backed
into it, no matter what hap
pens," Drysdale said. I'VE won
five of six to get where we are,
and three of those wins were
head and head against the
Cards"
The champagne is on ice in
the Stadium Club at Dodger
Stadium, and it's mighty cold.
Some say it has been there
since last year about this time,
when an end-of-season plunge
brought disaster to Dodger
pennant hopes in a playoff
loss to San Francisco.
If the Cards leave the
Dodgers the privilege of win
ming their own pennant, Chavez
Ravine could be a place of
pops, bubbles and gurgles to-
night. The fans aren't averse
to bringing their own fizz-water
on special occasions, and Drys-
dale would like to make one
out Of it.
Ahead Since July 2
On July 2 it was Drysdale
who defeated Curt Simmons
and the Cardinals, 10, in the
same stadium, to put the
Dodgers in first place. They've
been there ever since.

All teams will be in action
tonight, and while the spotlight
is on the Dodgers and Cardinals,
some attention will be focused
at Yankee Stadium, where the
champion Yankees will present
their World Series lineup.
Roger Maris, out for two
weeks with a back ailment, will
return to the lineup and take
his place in the outfield with
Mickey Mantle and Tom fresh.
Whitley Ford (23-D and the
likely Series opener for the
Yankees, will be the starting

The United States, parrying

fering to remove offensive
weapons for an end to the
blockade and a United States
promise not to invade Cuba,
it was a deal. Mr.. KhruShchev's

day. He agreed.
But the crisis still was I'M

background during the tension
filled days, announced he would
not permit q. N. on-the-spot

failed to bulge him. Russian
First Deputy Premier Anastas

Russia announced AZ medi-

The United States Navy verified
it by inspecting freighter en-

Mr.. Kennedy said the treaty

to or by the Soviet Union. It
reflects our common recogni-
ton Of the dangers in further

The treaty caused Mr.. Ken
nedy to comment on the

tons in September.
A further thaw appeared in
October when Mr.. Kennedy
approved the sale Of some four
million tons of wheat to Russia
and other Soviet bloc nations
which had been hit by
drought.
Past American policy had
discouraged U. S.-Soviet trade
but Kennedy saw such benefits
in the deal as Improvement Of

With neither side able to
accede to the other and a

dent sought legislation from
Congress. There were proteSta-
tons about such q course but
Congress passed q bill provid-

He ordered q quarantine on

He called on Mr.. Khrushchev
to withdraw weapons already

done, he said, further action"
would be taken. Aerial surveil-
