of his life in doing it.
 Most of the money riding on Am. bers was placed there because somt people believe no championship fight ever should be a three to one shot, Ambers, they argue, is no china doll and his record bears them out. In all the time he has been fighting he has never had that strange sensation of his knees turn ing to water, of the lights going black and of waking up 10 seconds or more later to learn that he has been knocked out. He is not a good enough puncher to stand toe to toe with killer like Armstrong, but he knows his way around the ring And most important of all, he is at his peak when he is in there defending his title.
 Money" Fighter
 When nothing Is at stake Ambers often looks like preliminary boy, but when money anc glory are rid- ing with his fists he reaches downl and comes up with a hand full off the stuff called inspiration. Despitei rumors that he intends to trade punches, everybody expect him to try to keep out of danger withs smooth footwork and attempt tdf stab Armstrong silly. Should Ambers win, he will take. over Armstrong's welterweight titld4 in the 26 states under the jurisdic- ton of the National Boxing Associa- tiQn. The New York state commis- sion will not give Ambers the we'll terweight title if he wins. No one disputes Armstrong's right to Am1 hera' lightweight championship if Yc wins.
 ; So, at 10 o'clock tonight, as Arm- strong puts it in another verse of his epic poem
 T go prancing down the aisle Feeling eagerness and dread
 And proudness-I'm a fighter style
 ! Wonder if I'll be remembered whd I'm dead?",

AK lob IS TOUGH
FOR SKINS COACH
FIaherty, With 13 Players
to Be Dropped, Hates to
Part With Talent.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Like the old woman who lived In q
shoe, Coach Ray Flaherty has so many
Redskins he doesn't know what to do.
And it's previously unknown football
players from little schools and COL
leges who apparently have a penchant
for making good in pro football who
are causing him great concern. Re-
member Cliff Battles and Dutch
Clark?
Consider, if you please, Flaherty's
plight two days before he plans to
prune his squad to the National
League limit Of 80 players. Today, he
could count II pairs Of legs in his
massive wigwam at Ballston. Because
Andy Farkas and Roy Young. half
back and tackle from t.4e University
Of Detroit and Texas A. and NJ, who
will be picked up after the All-Star
games at Chicago and Dallas. will
make . total of 43, Flaherty is faced
with the necessity Of cutting adrift
l3 players.
II the unsung candidates from the
little schools never established repu-
ftations they weren't supposed to have
in the first place, it wouldn't be SO
bad. But here is Hal Bradley from
Elon, one Of five ends. looking like the
best defensive man on the squad. Here
is Bob Masterson from Miami also
proving deadly on defense. Closer
home is Jay Turner, from George
Washington, making a determined bid
for q blocking halfbacks post and
Glenn Stralka, from Georgetown, sur
.prising all with form he wasn't even
hopefully expected to have as a guard.
Abbitt Is General.
Going further down the list, Jim
Abbitt, another candidate from little
Elon, is found daily running signals
in quartet composed Of Pinckert, r.
win, Smith and Baugh. So also is
Leroy (sunshine) Campbell, from
Western Maryland.
When one realizes that Flaherty
must consider Bradley, Masterson,
Turner, Stralka, Abbitt and Campbell
with the better-known crop Of rockies
such es Hank Bartos, the North Caro-
lima tackle; Red Elder, Kansas States
record high-scoring halfback; George
Karamatic. Gonzaga's pride of the
Pacific Coast; Micky Parks, Okla
homa's outstanding center. and Bill
Hartman from Georgia, some idea of
the magnitude of his task may be
gained.
As mentioned before 13 players must
60. Twenty-Five Of the squad are
rockies and, anticipating the reten-
ton OF all 18 who formed last year, S
championship squad, that means that
practically all 13 Of the ones to be
cut will be rockies.
Can Keep Only 30.
The Skins can keep no more than
80 under contract, but can farm out
no more than g., In other words, the
Skins can carry ~ throughout the
season and place with minor league
teams subject to instant recall. But
should they choose to carry only "a
or IS, they still cannot farm out more
than s. So the 13 who will be cast
aside will be surrendered completely by
the Redskins.
Until they are cast loose they can be
used in trades or sold outright by the
Redskins to other clubs.

customers said it to Joe Medwick

Medwick emerged from the salad un-
hurt, proving that a head of lettuce is
less lethal than an empty pop mag

pears and tomatoes, on the ground
that the stuff disf1gures the landscape

BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion washington Redskins.
Two teams, each of which has
players who can do anything, should
produce a great football game. And
that's what our game with the College
All-Stars should be on the night of
August 81. In fact, may go so far as
to predict that it will be the most
sensational of any of the annual
games, which were started in 1884.
This especially is promising in light
of the fact that Bo Mcmillan, head
coach Of the All-Stars, believes in
open-type football and will gamble
and take as many chances as the Red
skins. And Washington fans know
that We stop at nothing from passes
behind our own goal line to hidden
ball plays on the kickoff.
Have Variety Of Talent.
That All-Star roster is replete with
great kickers, great passers and great
runners. 1t has the runners in Frank
Patrick OF Pittsburgh, Cecil Isbell of
Purdue, Andy Uram of Minnesota,
Whizzer White of Colorado to men
ton a few; Isbell, Patrick, White and
Robbins of Arkansas also kick with
the best, and Robbins, Pat Rohm from
