So now the way to clear for next Sunday's title game with the Chicago Rears, the western division winners. And the Bears may find it hard going if the Redakina keep their tomahawk* ae sharp as they were yesterdaySlingin' Sammy Baugh was back in hie old pausing form after the two upsets in which the Giants put the Indian sign on him. Sammy got his revenge — and then aome. All told. Baugh .let up thtee Redskin talli* 4 * for Handy Andy Farkas.

Farkas caught the Gianu flat-footed with the first touchdown Os the game—a tricky run off tackle to the goal line. And. Brother, you could have stopped the game then and there ... If you could hpve stopped the Redskins. •For the eastern league champions were out to revenge the two Straight ui»ets by the Giants. And they did it. too. with points to spare. •But Washington probably will need aW the points it can get to
