REDSKIN Berth

to cheer for besides his alma
mater.
Tuckey captured the hearts of
WaShington'S StauncheSt grid fol-
lowers yesterday. He ran well,
proved his metal on the defensive
and was the passing star Of the
fray.
AIDS IN SCORES
The Manhattan ace aided in the
initial score of the game in the
second period when he shot q 49,
yard pass to Hal Bradley, rookie
end from Elon, who galloped the
remaining 10 yards for the score.
The Danbury back reeled off
the longest run of the fray, when
he packed his elusive form
through left guard and Skirted 27
yards down the field.
Heat finally laid him low in the
late stages of the game, and he
retired to the sidelines a some
what da7ed but triumphant young
man.
Incidentally, Bakers Braves
won the argument, 13-0. In ad-
dition to the aforementioned
touchdown, the Braves (garbed in
maroon jerseys) pushed over a
tally in the third stanza when
George Karamatic, former Con
zaga fullback, whipped a 44-yard
pass to Bradley, who lateralled to
Vic Carroll for the touchdown.
Capt. Turk Edwards placekicked
the extra point.
FIVE RELEASED
But Tuckey was not the lone
star of the fray. Several other
members of the rookie brigade
clinched positions in the hot sun
yesterday. There was Bradley and
Bob Masterson, former Miami star
wingmen, and Karamatic.
A pair of linemen, Glen Stral.
ka, former Georgetown ace, and
Henry Bartos. late of North Caro-
lima u, showed keen defensive
ability in brilliant manner. This
pair turned the trick in a goal
line stand late in the fourth
period, when Flaherty'S Redskins
staged pretentious march to the
goal line. Both players held up
their end Of the duty, and it was
mainly through their stellar ef-
forts that the Redskins were
thWarted.
