REDSKINS BEAT CHICAGO BEARS FOR BRO BILE Baugh’s Passing Leads Washington To 28-21 Victory Chicago, Dee. 13 (U.R>~ AH 'he great one-man football feats of the past faded into hazy obscurity today in the wake of Sammy Baugh s I dynamic exhibition of courage and passing In leading the Washington Redskins to the national professional football championship. I The mighty achievements of ■ Jim Thorpe. Ernie Nevers, Red I Grange. Brick Muller, George Glpp I Elmer Olipha'nt and other gridiron | immortals were forgotten this day. ■ at least, as the football world paid , homage to Sammy Baugh, the tall 1 Texas boy with the rifle on his right shoulder. In a passing exhibition almost unparalelled on atty gridiron with | the stakes so high. Baugh led the Redskins to a 28-21 triumph over the Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field Sunday before 15.878 shiver- , ing spectators. When Baugh limped off the field bruised and batter- . ed in the last 2 minutes of play, i the crowd rose almost as one to .! pay tribute to perhaps the greatest I one-man football exhibition of the '1937 season. 1 Players of both teams wore rubi ber-soled basketltall shoes to give , them better tractton on the frozen ; field. Thrill on thrill piled up during the dazzling offensive game, which was enlivened by a near i free-for-all fight when Dick Plasman. Bears' end. ran into the ( Washington bench after taking a pass in the fourth period. During this bitterly fought final period the Redskins had to halt two vicious i Bear drives, once on the 22-yard i line and again on the 7-yard line, i before they finally emerged victorious. 11 Baugh, and Baugh alone, annihi- . lated the Bears. The 185-pound • Texan, (only two men who played • were smaller than he) pitched 34 : passes with his deadly right arm. ■ and completed 17 of them for a I total of 352 yards, four more than j the entire Beat s' team gained. He I had one intercepted and It is team- ,! mates dropped several they couldI not hold because of icy fingers. i Baugh's sling-shot arm sent ’ Washington winging away in front 1 with a touchdown in the first nine minutes of the opening period. ' Cliff Battles slithered 7 yards off ) tackle and for the score, after, ! Baugh's passes had accounted for ■ 1 , 38 yards in a 52-yard march Then the Bears surged back with | ' two touchdowns in five and otie- • | half minutes to lead. 14-7, at the 1 ) end of the first period and also the I first half. Jack Manders, Bears' halfback who played a heroic game j in defeat, scored both touchdowns, i ■ the first on a 11-yard power plunge : • and the second on a pass from j Bernie Masterson which netted 38 ; ' yards. Baugh, w'ho had the heel of his | right hand skinned raw in the first, period, left the game in the second I period after a savage tackle which ’ i severely bruised his right hip. I With Baugh gone the Bears were easily masters of the situation and I were close enough to attempt two field goals in the second period, ' but both fell short. Limping perceptibly on his right leg and plainly suffering from the 1 cold weather, Baugh came back to: ’ start the third period. In 13 and 1 one-half minutes. Baugh wrecked the Bears, split their defense ■ asunder and pitched three touch-1 ' down passes. > In two minutes a Baugh-to- ’ Wayne Millner pass netted 55 yards and a touchdown, tying the score, 14-14. Then the Bears regained the lead, 21-14, on a 4-yard pass over the line, Masterson to lEd Manske. On the first play I after the kickoff Baugh tossed a ’ 15-yard pass over the line to Mill-!

The winning play came five minutes later when Baugh faked a short pass to Malone, faded back | and rifled to halfba, k Ed Justice for a 35-yard gain. The pass was 15 yards and the run 20.
