The loss, gives the iocais a 1-1-1 record for three games this season as they prepare for the invasion of undefeated Washington High this Friday night at the high school field here. Cougars Dragons Speaking Of Sports By CLAIR BROWN POST-MORTEM: It's a healthy sign when it's necessary to write a "reason-why" column after a Wildcat grid game as i has been the case the past two weeks. We recall that the past few seasons no one cared why the 'Cats passed, didn't pass, but now the interest is up and the fans are asking reasons why for this and that.

The big question after the Clairton game was why did the Wildcats pass with fourth and one on Clairton's six in the fourth quarter. We asked the man who knows, Al Cree, 'Cat coach, and here's his reply: When Dupay was hurt, every one in the stands, on the Clair- ton bench and the entire Bear team on the field knew we had only one other boy in the back ueiu wnu jjuii iu wuj through the Bear line and that was rred Cox. ihe Urangeand Black line was bunched waiting for Cox to get the ball and they would clobber him, so we tried to cross them up by passing over them and if the play had worked it would have I 1 Sam Brovn, No. 15, left halfback for U.C.L.A., is shown being downed after a short gain in the first quarter of their game against Maryla nd U. by tackle Mike Sandusky, as Al Wharton, No.

About 3.000 fans braved th elements to see the Raiders hold a surprising 6-0 halftime advantage on John Kemp's 90-yard romp up the middle of the field early in the second quarter. That run came immediately after the Raiders had stopped a Monessen drive on the rine. Early in the third period, though, the Greyhounds battled their way 74 yards with Carl Crawley blasting the final yards. Crawley added the extra point by kicking and Monessen led, 7-6.

PITTSBURGH (UP) The rookie-loaded Pittsburgh Steelers faced their lirst major test tonight jn a i National Football League season-opener against the Chicago Cardinals at Forbes Field. Coach Walter Kiesling said the pre season exhibition circuit, in which the Steelers dropped five contests while winning one, gave him a better idea of what his newcomers could do than he could hope to get from scrimmage ses sions. Games Tha'i Count "Now that we're down to the games that count. I know what I can expect from them." Kiesling said. The Steelers go into the game as favorites, but the Cardinals expected aerial attack may upset the experts.

Quarterback Lamar McIIan was expected to do most of the tossing for the Chicagoans. with ends. Don Stonesii'er, Gern Xagler and Dick Brubaker taking care of the receiving department. Stiff Workout Kiesling put the Steelers through stiff defensive workouts last week in preparation for the expected aerial assault, and also for the ground attack likely to be led by Ollie Matson and Johnny Olszewski. But Kiesling could cross Charly Trippi off his list of worries.

Injuries have sidelined the veteran back. The Steelers ended workouts at Ligonier with a one-hour drill Sunday. The a i a 1 also ran through a last minute workout Sunday before catching a plane for Pittsburgh. Jackets Open With 12-6 Win WAYNESBURG, Setp, 26 W'aynesburg's new football season under a new coach. Johnny Popovich.

Trinity high graduate from Washington, racked up the winning touchdown a one-yard plunge which topped off a last quarter drive covering some 75 yards. The Jackets had tied the ball game in the third period when Art Walker, who ifad been sidelined with a bad baseball knee injury, romped 90 yards on a punt return for the first Waynesburg score of the 1955 season.

Both point conversion attempts were missed but they didn't matter. Redskins Upset Cleveland, 27-17 After five long years of waiting and hoping, the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers finally caught, up with their most hated rivals during the first week-of the National Football League season. In a startling kick-off of the 1955 campaign, the Redskins, led by little Eddie Lebaron, handed the world champion Cleveland Browns a 27-17 upset, while the Packers turned in a 20-17 surprise victory over the Detroit Lions, last year's Western Division kingpins. It was the Redskins' first victory over Cleveland since the Browns joined te NFL in 1950 and the Packers' first triumph over Detroit in 12 games covering a similar five-year period. The Baltimore Colts also launched their new season on a bright note by' upsetting the Chicago Bears.

It's ironic but proves what a a funny game this football is when you consider that last week the question was, "Why DIDN'T we pass?" and this week, "Why DID we pass?" On the other Cat drive which failed (to the Clairton 11 in the second quarter) had the jump pass worked Coach Cree would have been praised for his strategy but the pass failed so the cry goes up, "why did we pass?" We guess the fans are entitled to gripe when they pay to see a game but we sort of go along with a local fan (and usually a critical one) who said to us after the game, "I guess you and I were spoiled by so many bad games in the past, Brown, that now when Monon-gahela puts on a good battle, as they did against Clairton, we think it's a good game." Or maybe we just like to give the team a pat on the back instead of a knock on the head now that they are playing good ball maybe we're wrong or are we?
