Marshall and his distinguished guests.
Following the playing Of The Star
Spangled Banner" the Hon. Jesse

and down. football from the Mar.
shall box and the game will be on.
Lots Of Hoopla on Tap.
Mr.. Jones' toss will not end the
extracurricula activities for the day,
as two Redskin bands, the Sons Of the
American Legion Drum and Bugle
Corps and Telephone Glee Club are
scheduled to keep the air filled with
music throughout the afternoon. The
champions new official song, Hail to
the Redskins" written by Corinne
Grimth Marshall and Barnee, local
orchestra leader will be presented be.
tween halves by the glee club.
As to the game itself, 1t won't be
the same Redskin team taking the field
which was acclaimed by Washington
after winning the championship last
year, but withal it will be q not-too-
greatly weakened team which already
shows promise Of repeating Is Eastern
champions.
Happily, the line. with one excep-
ton, will be composed Of the same men
who formed the veteran forward wall
last season. They are Ends Wayne
Millner and Charley Malone, Tackles
Capt. Turk Edwards and Jim Barber,
Guards Les OLSON and Jim Karcher
and Center Vic Carroll. The last
named is the only one who was not
found In that position in '37, but Car
rolls shift from guard has been at
tended with happy consequences.
Backfield Is Unfamiliar.
1t Is the backneld which will pre-.
sent an unfamiliar aspect to Washing
ton fans accustomed last year to the
Battles -Baugh- Smith -Pinckert quartet.
OF that big four, only one will
be available today-Erny Pinckert.
Slingin' Sam. his shoulder still healing
from muscle separated from the bone
in the Philadelphia game last Sunday,
will see the game from the bench.
Smith still Is out with his ruptured
leg. And you know where Battles Is.
Nevertheless, Coach Ray Flaherty Is
not at all timorous about the trio of
Jay Turner from George Washington,
Max Krause, hailed as the find" of
the early season and crashing Don
Irwin, whom he has named to start
with Pinckert.
Irwin demonstrated in the wind-up
drill yesterday that he fully has recov-
cred the strength Of his leg, injured
IN preseason practice, and Irwin at
full strength is an asset to any team.
AS running back, he forms a perfect
complement to Krause for Irwin Is the
line smashing type Of fullback, while
krause Is at his best in the open field.
incidentally, Irwin will call signals at
| the outset of the game.
Plans Many Substitutions.
These, however, will not be the only
Redskln backs on exhibition today.
For, unlike last year, Flaherty has an
abundance Of reserves and spectators
may be at loss trying to keep track
OF the frequent substitutions which
Flaherty plans to make. Eager to get
Into the game are such new backs as
Andy Farkas, who used Grinith Sta
dium as happy hunting grounds last
IAN while playing with Detroit against
catholic University; George Kara
matte, kicking, rushing fullback pro-
nounced by some as the best back on
the Pacific Coast last year; Bill Hart
man. ex-Georgia triple threat half
back whom Flaherty predicts will
prove one Of the pleasant surprises of
the year, and Rink Bond, former Uni
Versity Of Washington quarterback.
who will be directing the champions
during the game
Likewise, the line will have able
reserves in Hal Bradley and Bob Mas
terson, promising young ends, with the
latter also being especially adept at
place-kicking; Willie Wilkin and
Chuck Bond, two tackles who probably
could make any other first-strine line
IN the league; Hank Bartos, Glenn
stralka (of Georgetown) and Bill
Young, three crack guards and . pair
OF fne reserve centers In Micky Parks
and Henry (Red) Krause.
