Redskins Clinch Eastern Title Aims West for Championship

Washington’s Redskins clinched their fifth eastern football title with a 17-0 win over the New York Giants. Sam Baugh led the attack with a 23-yard field goal by Joe Aguirre, a 28-yard pass to Les Dye, and a one-yard plunge by Frank Akins. The victory advances them toward a title clash with the Cleveland Rams in Cleveland next Sunday as 34,788 watched in person. The Eagles beat the Yanks 35-7 to finish in second place, and Green Bay’s end Don Hutson topped season scoring. A pro record crowd of 80,000 was expected for the Cleveland game, which could mark a shift away from the era dominated by four teams.
