(AP) What possibly la the moat effective scoring combination in football hlatory Cliff Battles, the ball-carrying will o' the wisp, and Sammy Baugh, the peerless passer has shot the surprising wash in g ton Redskins through to tne championship of the eastern division of the National Professional Foot ball league. Sammy and Cliff and the rest ot the remarkable Redskins did it the terrific way yesterday, terrorising the New York Giants, 49 14, before 58, 000 enthralled fans at the Polo O rounds. Look Like Champs. The way Cliff and Sammy cut didoes behind their savagely thrust ing forward wall, it ta difficult to picture them as losers next Sunday, when they meet the Chicago Bears. champions of the western division. at- Chicago's Wrlgle field In their piay-orr for tne league uue. ma Bears, with nothing at stake, steam rollered the Chicago Cardinals, 4a to 28,- In their final yesterday. Cliff the runner and Sammy the thrower demoralised the Giants. Be tween them, they chopped the New Yorkers' defense Into kindling wood, and It previously had been regarded as one of the stoutest defenses in the game. In fact, the Giants' coacn. Steve Owens, made the unfortunate remark only two days ago that tne Washington line "didn't belong in the same league" with his. New Passing Mark. Battles and Baugh took the Giants' line apart and held It up so the crowd could get a laugh. Battles, a wraith In silk panties, carried the ball 170 yards in 34 tries from scrim mage, not counting a 78-yard t run back of an Intercepted pass. Baugh completed 11 passes for a total gain of 13S yards, running his total ot completions for the season to VI and breaking the previous league record of 77. In the dressing room afterward, while the Redskins were whooping and hollering: "I'll aay we don't be long In the aams league,' Benny Friedman stood apart and watched Battles and Baugh hug one another. The O.CJ4.Y. coach was a fair coun try footballer, himself, at Michigan and then with the pro (Hants. "There are the two greatest backs I ever saw," he said, humbly, "i ! thought I could pass until I saw Baugh today, and I thought Red j Grange was a runner until I saw ; Battles.

Billy Hal to Sayi: Washington's Pass In UCLA-USO Tilt One of Longest Contrary to first reports, especially by Henry McLemore of the United Press, it baa now been established "that Kenny Was h t n g t o n's forward pass to Don Hlrshon Saturday In the UCLA-USC game traveled exactly 03 yards through the air. Moving pictures of the football game told the story, so Mc Lemore's statement that the aerial went 73 yards is a lit tle awry. Hlly Holes Anyway, it was reany a man's size football toss and will go down In history as one of the longest forward passes. The negro half bock for UCLA threw from his own 16 to the USO 33. total distance of which was shy by ex actly seven yards of that famous pass Brick Muller fired to H. W, Stephens In the California -Oh to State Rose Bowl game in 1920. How ever, records reveal there was even longer pass thrown way back in the dim football past. It seems that In 1908, one Brad bury Robinson of St. Louis univer sity cut loose with au 87-yard aerial to John Schneider In a game against Kansas university. So aald the late Parke H. Davis, who compiled sta tistics and stuff for Spauldlng's foot ball annual axd the All Sports rec ord book of Franke O. Menke. Davis explained that the pass, completed In the first year that aerial tactics were legal, escaped notice for many years, end that only in 1931 was claim made for It. In his official listings of record forward passes, not counting the ensuing run by the receiver, Davis placed the Robinson to Schneider pigskin Journey t the top of the heap, with Brick Muller' Pasadena heave next In line. Now, and regardless of whether the 11)06 aerial Is generally rec ognized or not, Kenny Washing ton will go down In the boob as being the guy who slung one of the longest complete fnrward passes since the boys started tossing the Inflated pigskin around like a basketball. SI tiller's throw Is officially recognized as traveling 70 yards. In addition to Muller's pass, Davis listed eight others since 1913 as going 00 yards or more througb the air, one of which occurred in the St. Mary's -Columbia university of Portland game in 1934. Harry Mattos of the Gaels passed 04 yards to Bob Tlmm, the record says. By far the lengthiest forward pass ever witnessed In southern Oregon was the shot Claude Hlnes of South ern Oregon Normal unleashed to Frank 8a pp In the SONS-Monmouth Normal game In 1931. A colored boy like Washington. Htnes faded back to his own 43-yard line and wham med the plR&kln on a dead Una to Sapp. who caught it Just as he step ped over the Monmouth goal line. It traveled exactly 57 yards, and we honestly believe at no time was It more than 30 feet off the ground. Even more remarkable was the fact that Hlnes was practically on a dead run backwards when he fired. He was being chased by a couple of husky defensive ends, and he got It away by pausing for only a fraction of a second. Out of the hullabaloo being raised In Eugene by University of Oregon students who apparently believe the We Moots would be better off next season with a new football coach, comes Dick Strlte, sport editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, with a neat little piece defending Prink Calllaon. Part of It follows; "Old Doc Spears was Oregon's smartest coach. He qultl 'There were a few of the other boys who quit, but Doo was the only one who stepped Into a better Job. I mean better only In the sense of the reaching racket, for sxirely every former Oregon mentor has bettered himself by leaving or being ' forced to leave. There Is no doubt that Oregon Is a hell-hole for the grid tutor. "It all seems to be a question as to whether or not the professorial method of football coarhlng la ade quate to stand up against coast con ference competition.

St Louis' revamoed Browns. and fired, but rather given a, posi tion from year to year and Is either continued or dropped. And that questionable arrangement glvea a coach little security In building up teams from year to year. "Take the 1038 season as an ex ample. Calllson has had his eyes cast on 1038 as bla big year. He has been working toward that end In 'recruit ing' players and developing a system to best use the material. It would appear a shame unless there Is something radically wrong In the 'Innards of the squad and .coaching staff that Prink would be cheated of this opportunity to lead his 'Ideal' squad through another season. "Personally, . I'm satisfied that Prink has the football knowledge to keep a team well up In the confer ence. But It may be that Prink hasn't the ability or maybe It could be termed- football, personality to get his teaching in or, out of the players. The fact that Paul Rowe, sophomore fullback, told me defin itely he would not return to school next fall If Calllson remains ss coach Indicates there Is some distention on the squad. There have been rumors of others making the same threat. Just how bad the situation is can only be determined when the squad returns from Tucson." And, so goes the battle up Eugene way, with students threatening to boycott student body ticket sales If Calllson returns and college bigwigs sitting tight until after the Coast conference meeting this week. It looks bad for Prink, and the Arizona de feat won't help matters any. BELL1NGHAM PAPER AGAIN STRIKEBOUND BELLINGHAM. Dec. 6.
