Parker Hall Is Touted
As Best Professional
Grid Rookie Of Year
BY LARRY HAUCH,


CLEVELAND, Oct. 25.-Drawling
Parker Hall, leading aerial artist
of the National Football League,
carried Ohio's unanimous support
today as he passed his way toward
the mythical honor of best pro
rookie of the year
Screened by one of the weakest
defensive lines in the league, the
Cleveland Rams triple-threat ace
has connected on 56 of his Ill tosses
for 7O2 yards and four touchdowns.
The former University of Mis-
sissippi all-America halfback, with
five games to go, needs only to
complete q more passes to crack
the league record of 80 set by
Slingin' Sammy Baugh of the
Washington Redskins two years ago

A 22-year-old 205- FOUNDER. who
halls from Tunica, Miss, Hall has
been the kingpin of Coach Dutch
Clark's upcoming Rams He has
completed at least half his tosses in
every game except the tussle with
the Detroit Lions and was the key
factor in Clevelands surprise vic
tory over the Green Bay Packers.
This pro ball is sure tougher
than college" Hall said. But be-
lieve the hard going has been more
than balanced by the fine catching
done by Jim Benton, Vic Spadac-
cini and some Of the other boys"
Hall throws what he terms soft
pass" Benton, former Arkansas
star, and Spadaccini, from one of
Minnesotas great teams, rank
among leading receivers as result
of his crack craftsmanship
Last fall at Mississippi Hall con-
nected on 50 of SO tosses for II
touchdowns.
Kicks and Runs, Too.
With the Rams he has averaged
At yards on his punts and 6 yards to
a try as ball carrier.
Conservative Coach Clark terms
him "a fine ball player"
Hes not a great player yet"
Clark added. But he has helped us
plenty and he's getting better every
game"
Some Ram fans don't stop at the
best-rookie nomination-they think
Hall belongs on the all-league team.
And there are lot of all-star votes
hereabout, too, for Teammate
Johnny Drake. former Purdue full
back, who tops the league scorers
with ~ points.

Hall and the fact that Hall leads the
league in completed passes seems to
be the answer for that form reversal.
Little to Choose.
If Hall could do it, say the Red
skins, we'll bet on Baugh, Filchock
and German despite the local COL
umnist's assertion that he'd take
Arnie Herber over any Redskin as
the clutch passer."
AS to general offensive strength of
the Redskins and Packers, there
seems little to choose. In the same
number of games the Redskins have
outscored the Packers by just one
point, 113 to 112. which means that
both teams have averaged three
touchdowns game. And in ground
gaining, the Indians and Packers are
second and third, respectively, to
the Chicago Bears. the Redskins
having rolled up 1,740 yards to the
Packers 1888.
Indications, therefore, point to a
high-sooring game here on Sunday
with the hottest team of the day
coming out on top. Each has trio

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-Did we
tell you yesterday that the Redskins
had to overcome their greatest
weakness. pass defense, to stand a
chance of beating the Green Bay
Packers here Sunday.
Well, it seems the Packers also
have to polish up phase of their
game in order to stand a chance Of
beating the Redskins. And the
Packers weakness is pass de-
fense.
The Redskins haven't stopped grin.
ming from ear to ear ever since they
read in a local sports column of q
rabid Packer booster that ". evi.
dence of Packer improvement on
aerial defense was cropping out at all
intervals in the Detroit game last
Sunday, but even then the Bays
slipped up enough now and then to
cause some uneasy moments-espe-
cially if one were looking ahead to
the Dead Shot Dick craftsmanship
of Sammy Baugh and Frank Fill
chock."
The writer then goes on to say that
he we'll remembers that the Packers
stopped most of Baugh's passes in
Washington two years ago, but twice
Sammy got of long, high passes to
Malone for touchdowns.
About on . Par.
Statistics would indicate that
neither the Redskins nor the
Packers are very much superior to
the other in the important knack of
knocking down enemy passes. On
the face of things, the records are
misleading in the cases Of Sundays
rivals who have rendered incomplete
about twice as many alien aerials
as they have allowed, but frequently
have been vulnerable to payon passes
the touchdown heaves.
AS a matter of fact current sta
tistics indicate that the Packers
have been even more susceptible to
enemy passes than the Redskins, for
the Green Bay outfit has yielded 80
points in five games, compared to
only II scored on the Redskins, and
not many of those 80 have been
scored through Coach Curly Lam
beau's line. The Vests cellar occu-
pants. the Chicago Cardinals, are
the lowest scoring team in the
league, yet they ran up 80 points

With interhigh series games this
week end comparatively inconse-
quential, most scholastic football
followers have focused their atten-
ton on the collision involving Gen.
trails smartly- drilled outfit and
George Washington Highs hefty
eleven Friday night at Alexandria.
Marking Central's second game
under the arcs this year, the tiff is
expected to entice some 5000 fans.
First real test for the Presidents at
home, the game will mark resump-
ton of athletic relations between
the schools and feature G. W.'s
homecoming night program.
Central's Coach Hardy Pearce is
facing mountainous task. Coach
Al Doran Of G. w. has been pointing
his team for the light Central club,
resting his first team last week in
a game with Maury High of Norfolk
and the Presidents will be geared to
their highest pitch of effectiveness.
Centrals Lightest Team.
Pearce will trot out team which
will be giving away about 10 pounds
per man. The lightest outfit in
Central history, averaging only 16l
pounds, the team nevertheless has
been travelling at neat clip, losing
only to Johnny Bakers crack WASH
ington-Lee High team.
G. w. will bank chiefly on Jimmy
Taylor, somewhat hampered by an
ailing back. as its leather-lugging
threat, while the return of 300
pound Amos Cliff to tackle will bol-
ster the Presidents line. Cliff has
been idle with broken finger.
Operating behind the fast, hard
hitting Central line will be Benny
Steiner and Harry Martin as the
Blues most feared scoring pack
ages. Most of Central's scoring
has been split between this pair
and they are ticketed for special
consideration by the Presidents.
Meanwhile Western. rated Gen.
trails top rival in the public high
series, is expected to improve its
standing at the expense of Wood
row Wilson at Wilson Stadium Fri
day afternoon. while another series
struggle will find the hapless Tech
and Roosevelt teams squaring off.
Hoyas Choice Over Landon.
Capturing the attention of prep
school fans is the Georgetown
Prep-Landon game Friday at Be-
thesda. The Little Hoyas snatched
two victories in four days last week,
but Landon showed to advantage in
gaining a 6-6 tie with st. Paul's of
Baltimore last week after previously
scrapping to a scoreless deadlock
with Wilson.
The mangled slide rule of COM
parative scores gives Georgetown
Prep slight edge in that game,
the Little Hoyas having beaten
Wilson, 60.
Another prep school game Satur-
day morning at st. Adams field will
find Church Farm School invading
for a clash with st. Adams.
Eastern will journey to Rich

to Baltimore to meet Calvert Hall.
