staged here next month. were to
clash with the crack Fort Myer

Stymied by the four-hit pitch

a brace of runs in the first inning,
but while Helmer was allowing only
one run from that point Pepco
pounced on McFadden to score a
run in the fourth and at least one

Knight, with four safeties, includ-

playing their games on Sunday

From a reliable source comes word

Redskin Weakness,
EdwardsHo
Can't Cope With RivoIs,
Says Turk, Differing
With Coach, Owner
BY BILL DISMER,
Star Sta6 Correspondent,

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. a.
Differing with Owner George Mar
shall and Coach Ray Flaherty,
Capt. Turk Edwards said today
that the outstanding weakness OF
the Redskins this year is to be
found in the department they
reckon the strongest-the backs.
Sure, we've got lot of EN-"
said Edwards, who claims this will
be his last year Of football, "but
they're too light. Do you realize
that our heaviest back is Ed Justice,
at 2Ol, and that we have only two
others who weight 200? As a group,
our ball carriers and blockers aver
age only 100 and that's too light
for our league.
Regrets Loss of Goddard.
Look at those backs with the
Giants and Bears. A 210-pounder
is a lightweight with those clubs
and when those fellows hit you, you
know it. If Flaherty can design our
defense to shake our ball carriers
loose and get EN- in the open field.
we may be able to go places, but it's
going to be awfully tough on our
19O-pounders cracking those big pro
lines.
Perhaps that's Rays plan after
all, for he had a chance to sign Ed
Goddard, the old Washington State
fullback, who weighs over 2l0 and
who recently was released by Cleve-
land. But Ray wired Goddard
that he had too many backs al
ready. Personally, I think we could
have used big fellow like that,
but after all Rays running the
team"
Edwards in Good Trim.
Edwards, incidentally, will enter
his eighth year of pro football at
his heaviest, 270. He weighed little
more than that when he reported,
but declared he was not attempt
ing to reduce further. The big fell
low says he feels in fine trim
and won't need as much relief as
many persons are inclined to believe
he will at 80 years of age. Certainly
the way he went in last weeks
scrimmage indicated that he is ply
sically fit, for the Redskin leader
left the field as fresh as the young
est man on the squad.
Belief that Chuck Bond, one Of
Edwards reserves the last two years
at tackle, would sign up again was
dissipated today with Bond back in
Seattle, and, apparently, for good.
Marshall would have met Bonds
terms, but Flaherty advised against
going above certain figure, which
Bond said did not justify him CIV
ing up his job.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. o.
Something the Redskins need most
today was realized to have been in
their ranks all along, the product
of all places of the small school on
whose campus they practiced this
morning for the last time.
Whether it was a case Of not
being able to see for the obvious
ness of the situation or that of a
prophet being without honor in
his own country, it is true that not
until yesterday did Coach Ray
Flaherty openly declare that Ell
wood (Jake) Borck of Cheney's
Eastern Washington State Normal
School was the type of man he had
been seeking.
Finally Noticed by Coach.
Borck, rosy-cheeked native Of
215 pounds nicely distributed over
a 6-foot-2 frame, applied to Fla
herty early this spring for a chance.
Partially because he felt, he could
not turn down candidate from a
school which was to play host to
his team and partly because Nor
mails coach recommended him, Fla
herty sent him q, contract-and
promptly forgot him.
When training began Borck was
just another one of those football
players OF school where pros
often train who turn out as much
for the exercise as for the possibil-
ity of drawing attention.
But attracted by Gorck's con-
tinual fine form and hard-running
style, Flaherty inquired and learned
that Borck was the reason why
Eastern State won the champion
ship of the States smaller schools
and that he probably could have
Evening star., 1939-08-22

and equipment to do things he was
unable to do before. BY that mean
he'll have gyms that formerly were
tied up by the Community Center
Department, and I know he can ar
range a schedule that will prove
satisfactory all around"
But Barrett, putting serenely on
his pipe, announced that he will not
be satisfied merely to improve on
the old order, but wants to intro
duce several innovations that are
bound to meet with public ap-
proval. Right now, for instance,
he's trying to figure ways Of getting
more baseball diamonds for the
sandlotters. and more tennis courts
for racquet enthusiasts. Where they
will come from he isn't sure, but
he's determined to get them.
Eyes, and we hope to improve
swimming facilities and arouse more
interest in water sports" he con-
tinued. There's no reason in the
world, for instance, why there
shouldn't be more canoeing and sail
ing around here. And if we ever get
an armory or any other suitable
place I'd like to sponsor indoor ten
mis-. I think it'll not only pay its
own way but show a profit and help
carry the rest of the program"
To Utilize Canal.
AS for canoeing, Barrett hopes to
utilize the picturesque waterway of
the old C. & o. Canal, small tribu-
taries of the Potomac and the river
itself. He thinks the most timid
soul would venture forth on the
canal, whereas they might be little
wary of the open river. Moreover,
he wants to have small yacht basin
for amateur yachtsmen where
anchorage fees will not be prohibi-
tive.
That will come later, of course.
Currently the affable co-ordinator
is concentrating on more grounds
and more equipment. Sounds in
congruous, doesn't it? He was still
putting on the old briar pipe when
we left. dreaming. planning and
scheming for the future.
