By RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
Although the Redskins will be play
ing in the All-Star game for the first
time as a team, it won't be the first
All-Star game for six Redskins. I
refer to Sammy Baugh. Riley Smith,
Wayne Millner. Don Irwin, Jim Bar
Der and Jim Karcher
Barber. now one of the finest tackles
in pro football, played on the first
All-Star team in 1894; Smith. Karch-
er, Millner and Irwin we're members
of the All-Star squad in 1896 and
Baugh led the collegians to their first
victory last year.
Indeed, all except Irwin were out
standing in the games they played.
Don. though. wasn't given chance
to break into the game the year he
was chosen a member of the All-Star
squad, and for that reason is doubly
anxious to shine in the coming classic
on August 81.
Because they will be playing on the
opposite side of the line in a game
which will be repeat for them.
review Of their earlier play as COL
legians seems not amiss.
Expects Sam to Improve.
Baugh's feats in the game last fall
still are too vividly remembered to
bear more than mentioning. In true
Baugh fashion, it was Sammy who
threw the touchdown pass for the only
score of the game-the All-Stars beat
ing the Green Bay Packers, TO.
Sammys importance didn't rest solely
on his passing though, for his kicking
kept the Packers away from the Stars
goal throughout the game and once
when it seemed as if the pro cham
pions were on the march to a touch
down, Baugh intercepted a pass deep
in his own territory. Naturally,
Sammy wants to look as good this
year as he did last and I firmly be-
lieve he will seem to be a much better
player, If those who saw last years
game can imagine that. For one
thing, he has had years experience
in the pro game and for another he
will know his potential receivers far
better than he knew those to whom
he passed last year. It's hard to ac-
custom yourself to strange system
and new teammates in two or three
weeks like the All-Stars must do and
Sammy's familiarity with his profess
sional teammates will stand him in
good stead
The 1896 game in which Smith,
Millner and Karcher helped the ALI
Stars tie the Detroit Lions, TT, Is
noteworthy for couple of reasons.
The All-Star line of that game, in
which Millner and Karcher played
end and guard. respectively, still is
considered the best ever presented by
an All-Star aggregation and also it
was the game in which the All-Stars

termined to play better against the

Millner still Is hailed as the star
of the '36 game but he will have an
even bigger incentive to play well for
us than that of merely exceeding his
past performance in the classic. For
Wayne's old coach, Elmer Layden Of
Notre Dame, will be a member of the
All-Stars' coaching staff and Wayne
wants to show his old tutor how much
he's improved.
Karcher Shone With Stars.
Redskin fans might be interested
in knowing, if they don't already that
the play of Karcher. our guard, to-
gether with that of Danny Fortmann
who now plays guard for the Chicago
Bears. was given much Of the credit
for the Stars showing in 1896. As
he has been for us since. Jim was
a tower of strength for the collegians
two years ago and aroused universal
favorable comment with his play at
Soldier Field. But I expect him to
have just as good night two weeks
from Wednesday.
Because it's been four years since
Barber left college, this years ALI
Star coaching staff may not think
the San Francisco product will be
as good as he used to be. But Jim
weighs 230 now, compared with the
2l5 he weighed as an All-Star and
that added Is pounds is just Is more
of some of the hardest driving weight
in the league.
I mentioned previously that Don
Irwin wasn't given a chance to break
into that 1898 game. The answer to
that apparent riddle is that the ALL
Stars head coach had his own COL
lege fullback on the squad and chose
to string along with one whose talents
he knew. But any resentment that
Irwin might have felt at being neg
lected must have been wiped out
in the post-season East-West game
of that same year, for Don was the
fullback for the East and virtually
won the game for his section single
handedly. Don didn't start the game
and the West was leading when he
was rushed into action, but before
very long Irwin scored a touchdown
which put the East ahead to stay
and shortly after threw a pass for
another touchdown which clinched
victory.
