December 19, 1948Weather-48 degrees, 9 mph SE
The beauty of two-way football was the way a player, through his own versatility, could impact both sides of the ball to win a game. Johnny Strzykalski was that guy in this one. "Johnny Strike" ran for 105 yards and returned a Sammy Baugh interception 91 yards for a touchdown in the 49ers 21-0 victory over Washington. Alyn Beals caught his 15th TD of the season to give San Francisco an early 7-0 lead. Washington was about to tie the score when Strzyklaski picked Baugh and gave the Niners command of the game.
San Francisco will host Philadelphia in the late window next Sunday for a shot at the NFL Championship Game.
