As the Washington Redskins, C team won, 18 0, from the Chi cago Bears, D squad, the leairu closed in an alphabetical finish — A, B, C, D in the order named. Twice the Giants made marches the length of the field after re- ceving the kickoff to score touch downs.

He stepped across from the 8-yard line. Price converted all extra points to keep his tournament record clean. In all attempts so far Price has never failed to kick the extra point In tha first march Price com pleted a pass to Herb Smith that was good for 25 yards and barely missed being a touchdown but Smitty was downed on the 5-yard park.
