Meanwhile, they watched with interest last week's game at Manhattan's Polo Grounds. The Redskins and the Giants had galloped down to the final game neck & neck, just as they had last year. Everyone knew the Giants were out to avenge last year's 49-to-14 massacre-and go into the play-off with the Green Bay Packers for the U. S. championship. Avenge they did. Before 58,000 howling spectators, the Giants scored 14 points in the first twelve minutes, recovered fumbles and intercepted passes until they had put the Redskins to rout...
Just before Jackson Barnett died in 1934, supposedly aged 92, the Government had their 13-year marriage annulled on the grounds that the old redskin had been "kidnapped by an adventuress." Marshal Clark, an old buffalo hunter and army man who prided himself on never having used violence in executing a court order, at first seemed stymied by Mrs. Barnett's tactics.

Last fortnight the Redskins, their band and 8,000 followers moved on New York City to play the New York Giants for the championship of the National Football League's Eastern Division. The Redskins needed to win to become Eastern champions; the Giants needed only a tie. Washingtonians bearing banners paraded up Fifth Avenue, whooped and hollered at the Polo Grounds as Baugh completed 11 out of 15 passes, Cliff Battles gained more than 200 yards running, and Tackle Turk Edwards broke open the hitherto impregnable Giant line. The Redskins won 49-to-14. They went jauntily back...
