PHILADELPHIA AP Washington Redskins presen ted coach George Allen with his 100th National Football League victory Monday night and the veteran coachs quick thinking on the sidelines had more than little to do with the triumph Mark Moseley booted 29 yard field goal 12 minutes and 49 seconds into sudden death period of the game to give the unbeaten Redskins 2017 win over Philadelphia Eagles But

led 103 and had third down and six at their 35yard line Washingtons defence started to leave the field figuring the clock would run out but Allen ever alert waved his defenders back and shouted for

has 52 mark Terry OReilly was the Boston scorer FOOTBALL STANDINGS TORONTO CP Its not difficult to figure why Don Sweet of Montreal Alouettes and Bob Macoritti of Saskat chewan Roughriders lead the Eastern and Western con ferences of the Canadian Foot ball League in scoring Both are field goal kickers traditionally the scoring cham pions and both are remarkably consistent Sweet who set pro football record when he kicked his 16th 17th and 18th consecutive field goals in Montreals 232 victory over Ottawa Rough Riders Sun day has been good on 24 of 30 attempts this season Macoritti who tops the CFL scoring table with 93 points has connected on 16 of 23 tries He has scored four points more than Sweet and there are couple of reasons for that Saskatchewan leads the league with 35 touchdowns and Macoritti has converted 34 of them The Alouettes have scored only 16 TDs and Sweet has converted 14 Also Mon treal with 10 games has one in hand Calgary Stampeders with 14 touchdowns are the only club who trail Montreal in this category BEATS NFL MARK Sweets 18 consecutive field goals surpassed the National Football League record of 16 held by Jan Stenerud and Don Cockrof And it may be while before an NFL kicker threatens the new mark Thats because the goalposts are 10 yards be hind the goal line making the job more difficult than in the CFL wehre they are still at the

3001 Ever since his peewee hockey days his talcnts been growing But bad things happened to Roger on his way to Stanley Cup His reputation has gone to his head When the guys get together after game Roger feels compelled to swing more and stay later than the others Wherever he goes hes in the spotlight and he never says no to night on the town Roger doesnt realize his talent needs healthy soil to grow Right now he should be putting the brakes peewee hockey days his talents been growing But something even better has happened to Roger on his way to Stanley Cup Hes realized that his style off the ice is just as crucial to his future Roger enjoys people He also enjoys the sociability of relaxing with drink But hes moderate In fact from the start of training till his last game of the season Roger rarely drinks at all Every game he plays con vinces Roger that moderation is on both his swinging and his drinking Otherwise he risks spoiling everything His game and his dream helping him get
