New York Giants Defeat Redskins Gives Giants Chance To Tie For Crown <Ry United Press) Steve Owen of the New York Giant* is wearing a big smile today. Even though the league-leading Washington Redskins may have the last laugh, the Owen-coached gridiron Giants defeated the Indian* 14 to 10 yesterday. And that victory give* the Giants a chance for a tophonor tie. It was the same Red kin team that upset the mighty Chicago Beam some two week* ago. But Washington just couldn't keep up with a Giant rookie by the name of Bill Pa>cbal. The Giant spars-plug came from behind to tally twice In the last half and snatch victory from the Redskins. Now If Paschal can keep up the i good work when the Giant* meet Washington again next week. Steve Owen ought to bav-? a grin from ear-to-ear. Another New York victor)- would m ran an extra game to determine the opponent for the Chicago Bears in the National pro league play-off series. Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packer* is another gridiron figure who ought to feel pretty happy today. Don Played what may have been b!* Im- t game yesterday, and he paced the Packers to a 38 to 28 victory over the Phlldalephia-PlttiTburgh Steagels. The veteran end scored 20 of his team'* points—and that add* up to 117 point* for the season—The high mark In the national football league. That's a nice way to *ay goodbye to the grldllron if what Don say- about retiring is true. Hockey ■lt's hard to believe, but the Montreal Canadiens last a game la*t night. Montreal'* first defeat in 13 games came at the hand* of the Boston Bruin* by a *core ot 5 to 4. The New York Rangers stretched tbelr losing streak to 13 game* by dropping one to the Chicago Black Hawks. The score wa* 7 to 6 For some time, it looked as if the Blueghlrts might finally win a game. But Chicago wa* ju*l playing cat-and-mouse with the unlucdty New Yorker*. The last minute of play told the story when Blackhawk Allen -cored the winning tally. — —o— —— BOWLESCITES NEED (Ce*tta**e F'*» roe» » day.
