In Boston Tonight
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,
Star Staff Correspondent.

BOSTON, Sept. IA 1000 per-
centage in their trio of exhibition
games and the desire to better the
showing of the New York Giants,
who were held to a 100 victory by
practically the same opposition, will
be the dual incentives which the
Redskins will carry into their game
with the Eastern ALL here to-
night.
1t will be the Indians first ap-
pearance in Boston since being
"exiled" in 1887 by an antagonistic
press which, incidentally, has done
an about-face in welcoming George
Marshall's team back to its original
home. Part of the contrast in atti-
tude, however, is due to the fact that
the game is being sponsored by the
-Pishon Post of the Amer
lean Legion, composed, for the most
part, of local neWspapermen.
Glass in An-Star Backfield.
That the Giants, professional
champions, were unable to whip the
Eastern stars more decisively is no
mystery once the lineup of to-
nights opposition of Redskins is
scanned. Although Bill Osmanski.
the Holy Cross star, will be unable
to play because of a broken hand,
it's pretty fair backfeld of John
Chickerneo of Pitt, Bob Macleod of
Dartmouth, Ray Carnelly of Car
negie Tech and Bob O'Mara of Duke
that the collegians will start against
the Indians. O'Mara, Osmanski's
replacement, is the only man who
did not start against the Giants.
And because Coaches Nils (SWede)
Nelson and Lou Little have stated
that they will keep that quartet in
the game as long as possible, it is
likely to prove an enlightening test
of the Redskins line, upon which,
it is generally conceded, largely de-
ponds the chances of the MARSHALL
men to recapture championship
honors relinquished last year. The
Redskins also will have opportunity
to decide whether they lost the
services of another good back when
OMara decided to forego pro foot
ball, as the ex-Blue Devil turned
down their bid after being drawn
by them in the draft last winter
Stars Line Outweighed.
Although the Stars line will be
outweighed from IL to II pounds
to the man. depending upon which
group of Redskin forwards are in
the game, the Collegians will present
pair of all-America ends in Brud
Holland. Cornells great colored
f1ankman, and Fabrian Hoffman of
Pitt The Partners, incidentally,
will have the greatest representation
on the starting eleven, as in adj
dition to Hoffman and Chickerneo.
Steven Petro will be at guard and
Elmer Morkovsky at tack4 Com
pleting the line will be products
of Carnegie Tech, Dartmouth and
Fordham.
Once again, Coach Ray Flahertv
will send every man on his squad
into the game, with the immediate
fate of at least one depending upon
his showing. With Charley Holm
on the inactive list, there now re-
main "a on the Redskin roster and
league rules stipulate that only 80
may be carried for the first two
games and only 30 thereafter.
Although no intimation of the
ones fated to go has been given. it
appears that the ultimate departing
quartet will be chosen from Steven
Uhrinyak, the converted tackle from
Franklin and Marshall; Bob Master
son, reserve end last year; Half
backs Jimmy German from Centre
College and Red Morgan of Southern
California and Clyde Shugart, Iowa
States tackle made over into a
guard. The latter, however, has
come along fast in the last two
weeks and may surprise by clinch-
ing a regular job
