Will Substitute Whole
Backfie|d al Time,
Says F|aherty
Redskin Coach Plans
Four Combinations;
Talent Abundant
BY RAY FLAHERTY,
Coach. Washington Redskins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2o.-
Blessed with an abundance of versa
tile backs for the first time in my
career, I'm going to try something
with the Redskins this year that
I've never attempted before. Many
colleges and universities with large
squads such as Notre Dame. South
ern California and others, use the
system. but it will be new to the
Redskins.
That is the practice of playing
backfleld combinations instead of
individuals. And because we have
three standout passers, three excep-
tlonal runners and three pretty good
kickers-the requisites for a sue
cessful backfield-I think it will
work. Each group, therefore, should
be able to advance either by ground
or air and should be able to get out
of difficulties with capable punting.
The combinations I will list
shortly may switch blockers and
pass-receivers, but the passer and
runners will be kept together as
iiuSil DIS pooSiDle.
Praises Filchock as General.
In what looms as the No. four
some will be Max krause at quarter
back, Sammy Baugh and Ed Justice
at the halves and Andy Farkas at
full, with Baugh calling the signals.
Here we have the worlds best passer
and teams leading ground-gain
last year paired up with Justice and
krause. not only proved blockers but
exceptional pass-receivers who know
what to do when they get the ball.
In a second combination will be
Jay Turner at quarter, Frank Fill
chock and Erny Pinckert at the
halfbacks and Dick Todd at full,
with Filchock directing play. Fill
chock, OF course, is both passer and
runner; Todd, one of the most
promising runners we ever have
had, and Pinckert and Turner. both
blockers above the ordinary. I can't
pass up the opportunity here to say
word of the highest commendation
Tor Fllchock's performance in the
lntrasquad game last Wednesday
night. He not only was the star of
the game with his passing and run
ming, but his quarterbacking left
nothing to be desired It was one of
the few games remember in which
l couldn't second-guess the quarter
back, for the simple reason that I
couldn't see one error in his strategy.
Meade in Fourth Combination.
A third combination will be Jimmy
German calling signals from a half
back position, Red Morgan at the
other half, lilly Manton at quarter
and Don Irwin at full. German not
only proved he can be as cool
oasser under fire as he was in prac-
ice but his ball-carrying Wednes-
|ay night stamped him as an addi-
pnal threat in that capacity.
torgan and Manton are the block
\ : in this quartet, although Morgan
pWed he can travel after taking
i Is.
hm Meade, Charley Holm, Jimmy
j nston and George Karamatic will
m ke up fourth combination,
pan pugh, because of their inexperi-
EN- J. the first three probably will
be 'orked with older players. I also
visit tlize Wilbur Moore as scoring
possibility when paired with such
a man as Todd, with their blockers
coming from any of the above
mentioned pairs.

fire earned a reprieve and may be
shifted to guard to capitalize on his
apparent speed. Not quite large
enough for a pro tackle, Shugart is
accorded a good chance to stick as
guard. incidentally, Steve Uhrin-
yak, the Franklin and Marshall boy
called by Army the best guard it
faced last season. will be tried as a
tackle because of his 6-foot-2 210
pounds.
Boyd CRed) Morgan, considered a
blocking back, will be a scoring
threat if his practice game play is
any criterion. Sent into the contest
late in the first quarter, Morgan took
pass from German on his first play
and scampered like a scared rabbit
to the first touchdown of the year.
Farkas Given Little Chance.
Andy Farkas didn't have much
chance to prove he was as good as
last year. He carried the ball only
six times for gains of IL, 6, 7. and
2 yards, or an average of 5-plus.
Erny Pinckert's as rough-loving as
ever. Seven years of pro football
hasn't lessened his enthusiasm for
getting into every play and the 81
year-old Southern California star
remains one of the spark-plugs of
the team.

Adds National Cops'
Crown al Perry
Hemmine Cards 288x300,
U. 5. Treasury Team
Hangs Up Record

CAMP PERRY, Ohio. Aug. 26--
Alfred P. Herring of Detroit, ma
tlonal all-around pistol champion,

forcement officers today to capture

title in the first of the title matches
at Camp Perry's annual two-week
cartridge carnival.
The Detroit policeman scored 288
of 300 in the match, which consisted
OF 10 shots of slow fire at so wards
and 10 each of timed and rapid fire
at Is yards. Emmett E. Jones of the
Los Angeles tCalif) police, was sec
ond with 287..
The sharpshooting of Hemming
and Lalonde was not enough in the
team match to retain the CHAMPION
ship for the Detroit quartet, and the
title passed to the United States
Treasury team, which scored 1852
OF 1900 for record by five points.
Ihe defending champion Detroit
squal was second with 1,156, and
New York third with the same score.
The Treasury team, with their
scores: M. R. Rogers, Port Angeles.

getting 295 and Reeves 293.
Chapman and Rogers of the
Treasury team were second with
582.
John W. Aitken of Overly, N. Oak,

Colonial Grid Vets
In Squad 10 Report
September IS
Reinhort Plans to Have
Team Reach Peak for
Hoyos October 28

With promising sophomore con-
tingent buoying IA returning letter
men, George Washington Univer-
sity's football squad will launch
practice September Is, the Colonials'
latest starting date in years.
Coach Bill Reinhart chose to
delay practice until that date be-
cause he feels the Colonials
shouldn't reach their peak until
the fourth week in October, when
Georgetown, the first of five highly
regarded opponents, will be faced
at Griffith Stadium.
Reinhart is confident his club
can prepare for the opener with
Davis and Elkins at Griffith Sta
dium on october 7 in three weeks.
That game will be played as part
of a double-header, with George
town facing Roanoke in the other
half of the twin bill.
Late Schedule Trying.
G. w. will move casually toward
the Georgetown game, meeting
Davis and Elkins, Butler and The
Citadel before colliding with the
Hoyas. From that point, though,
the Colonials are in for tough sled
ding, meeting Clemson, Kansas,
Bucknell and West Virginia in
succession.
Starting his second season as
head coach, Reinhart must locate
replacements for three guards and
a crack right tackle, Capt. John
Rebholz, who was graduated. Also
missing among the II graduated
letter winners are little Vic Samp-
son, speedy backfield ace, and Frank
Merka, halfback and quarterback
dependable.
Key operatives returning include
Bob Nowaskey and Sam Babich,
ends; Sunny Jones and Duce Kea-
hey, tackles; John Kokoski, guard,
and Murphy Booth. Billy Richard
son, Ken Batson, Fred Sartore and
Lud Urick, backs.
Balanced Line Planned.
Figuring prominently in Rein
hart's plans are such sophomores as
Mike Monchlovich, 195-pound CEN
ter; Walt Fedora, 19O-pound full
back, and Paul Nugent, 185-pound
quarterback, all of whom are re-
garded as potential starters. At
least eight other sophs are being
counted on for part-time service.
George Washington again will
function from a single wingback
formation, with the short punt get
ting occasional use, but Reinhart
plans to employ balanced line in
stead of the unbalanced line of last
season which called for a tackle to
shift to the strong side.
Following is the Colonials'
schedule:
October :, Davis and Elkins, at home:
"A, Butler, at Indianapolis; 20. Citadel,
at home; %, Georgetown at home
November 3, Clemson at home; IS,
Kansas. at Lawrence. Kans.; 25, Bucknell

$50 YEARS AGO

Sunday is the 150th anniversary OF the Inaugural
lion of George Washington at New York as the first
President of the United States. This should be an
Impressive day to the people of all free countries
throughout the world but especially to the people
Of the United States. We should look back now upon
that event as marking milestone of progress in the
forward march of free government for wherever Con-
stitutional Government is attempted throughout the
world the Constitution of the United States is studied
as a model.
II is fitting that event of such vast Importance
should be observed by sober thought as we
pass it by. 1t should be the duty of all men to give
thanks God for the blessings of social political and
religious liberty vouchsafed to the American people
in this land of freedom and should be continually
Uatchful these liberties be wrested us through
lack of appreciation.
1t would seem proper that on this day the people
Of the United States seriously consider as well as
practice daily in word and action, The American
Creed: Il believe in the United States of America

people, whose just powers derived from the
of the governed democracy in a republic; a sover-
eign nation of many sovereign states perfect union

of freedom equality justice and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes
l. therefore believe it to be my duty to my country to
love it. to support its constitution to respect its flag
and to defend it against all enemies.
