REDSKINS AND BEARSUPSET Brooklyn And Detroit Defeat leaders In Professional League New York. Nov. 11—<U.R> -The underdog* had their day in the National Football league Bunday And the Washington Rediklna Chicago Bears and New York Ghent* were picking themaelve* out of the ashpan today, wondering what happened Dr Jock Sutherland * hustling Brooklyn Dodgers, beaten three time* In seven games, dusted off the league leading Redskins. 14 14.. with more than a little help from the inept Braves themselves It w‘as Washington's first defeat in eight game* and the first time In history the Ikcdger* have ever lick-' ed the Redskins The day's largest crowd. 33.M44, saw the game at EbbeU Field. Cotton Price, another one of those wild passing Texans pitched the Detroit Lions to an upset vic tory over the Bears in the last 34 i seconds of play. 17-14. before 31 735 fan* at Detroit. The defeat trimmed the Bears' western lead to one game Inasmuch as the Green , Bay Packer* triumphed a* expect ed over the Chicago Cardinal*. 25-7. The third upset was registered by Dutch Clark's Cleveland Ham* - who capitalised on two pass Interceptions to shutout the New York Glanta. 154, before a crowd of 23.414 at the Polo Ground* It was the first time the Giant* had been whltewaahed at home since Detrolt did It back In 1*34 and dropped tlfrm to third place, virtually out of the race Only consolation Washington had from Its first loss was the fact i that Sammy Baugh Redakins great passer, set a new professional record by completing 22 passes, two more than the former mark set by Davey O’Brien last season Haugh tossed 44 passe*. Hl* 23 completion* netted 258 yard*. The Beara-Lion* staged a rough wild, exhibition which Detroit won In the last few second* on Price's passe* which covered 42 yards for the winning score. The Bear* probably lost th* game In the first half when Ed Manske kicked at a Detroit player with only second* left to play, and the Bear* on the Lions' 1. A 15-yard penalty set the Bears back to the 14 and they failed to connect with a field goal. The Bean outrushed the Lions,
