With quarterback Roosevelt temporarily out of the game, sojourning in the sunny south, the Washington ball-toters emerge from the huddle with four different players, each calling separate signals.

Early in the afternoon a bewildered grey-haired grandmother was whisked off to the Administration Building where, as the 16,000,000th visitor of 1934, she was presented with...
...Walsh has caught the attention of the public with his work in constructing a line which has held in check some of the most formidable teams in the country, but the same is not true of the pass defense of the backfield. If the Army opens up with its aerial attack in the game today, an indication will be given of the success of Coach Casey's intensive work in this department...
