Will the Redskins be as good this

This may surprise you. but sin
cerely believe they'll be better. I base
that statement on the fact that we
have the best-looking bunch OF rockies
I've seen since joining the Redskins.
and they will give us more and
stronger reserve strength than we had
last year.
These rockies, in fact, are putting up
such a bang-up fight for jobs that I'm
not only going to have my hands full
in cutting the squad for the second
time tomorrow but also in deciding
whether several of them don't war

Better Offense All Around.
We will have a better all-around
offensive team than last year, when
our attack was centered on Battles
and Baugh. Strong reserve backs will
make it possible for us to keep our
running attack strong throughout
full game, and whereas there won't
be the threat Of Battles to run for
a touchdown at any time, We will be
able to have more good backs in there
all the time.
