Exhibition Games...

[Stinky]

Hi

Hope someone can help with this ... I'm looking for some additional information for the following Bears-Redskins exhibition games from the 1940s ... can anyone fill in the missing dates and locations (stadium and/or city)?

D-M-Y ...... RESULT ................ LOCATION
13-09-42 ... Bears 38 Redskins 14
xx-xx-43 ... Bears 21 Redskins 14 @ Baltimore, MD
xx-xx-44 ... Bears 07 Redskins 21 @ Baltimore, MD
xx-xx-44 ... Bears 28 Redskins 00
xx-xx-45 ... Bears 07 Redskins 14
22-09-46 ... Bears 20 Redskins 14 @ Baltimore, MD
xx-xx-48 ... Bears 17 Redskins 14

All of the games would have been played in either August or early September, apart from maybe the second of the 1944 games which may have been played on Sunday October 1st (neither the Bears or the Redskins had another game scheduled for that weekend).

Any idea what stadium was used for the Baltimore games?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks ... should that be Griffith Stadium? or was there a Griffin Stadium as well?

I found the Redskins Media Guide online but while it gives the dates, opponents, scores and locations it only gives pre-season results from 1961 onwards ... the ExtremeSkins.com webpage lists dates, opponents, scores and some locations ("Neutral Location" is used for any non-standard locations), but again only has pre-season scores from '61 onwards.

Woohoo... discovered that the NY Times and Washington Post both have online searchable archives... while you have to pay for the full article, the search results still uncovered some relevant information...

D-M-Y ......RESULT ................ LOCATION
13-09-42...Bears 38 Redskins 14 @ Washington, DC (probably Griffith)
12-09-43...Bears 21 Redskins 14 @ Baltimore Stadium, Baltimore, MD

OT: Redskins 13 Bears 10 ... congrats on the win, but you guys must really suck :) that was the worst performance that I have seen from the Bears in my 20+ years in following them and we almost won!?

:Peace:
