Six Freshmen Tabled

To Be Hit by Influx
Of Rookie Talent

concurrence with Coach Ray Flaher-
tvs assertion that every rookie has
q chance to STICK the fate
of at least three and possibly more
Redskin veterans will start shaping
tomorrow night when the first of two
intrasquad games is played here be-
tween the Eastern and Western
members of the squad.
With 80 veterans now in training,
six freshmen" already tabled as
sure-fire and the league limit set
at 80 players, mathematics alone
DEGREES the release of three old
hands. And that's not taking into
consideration exceptional perform

in the game here and in Spokane
a week from tonight which might
cause other veterans to lose their
Jobs.
Flaherty's Unit Confident.
That two of last years squad seem
certain to go overShadows all other
pre-game discussion despite an in
creasing esprit de corps by both
sides on the eve Of the first game.
Flahertys team-possessing II of
the 80 veterans and including such
outstanding backs as FarkaS, Fill
chock, Todd, Moore, German and
Irwin-still thinks it should win as
1t pleases, but Assistant Coach Turk
Edwards bunch-relying on line
composed of Malone, Barber, Slivin-
ski, Carroll, Farman. McChesney
and Edwards himself-believes it
has more than an equal chance Of
upholding Western prestige, espe-
cially with Sammy Baugh in there
pitchin' the passes and directing as
quarterback.
But underlying the jocular dis
plays of defiance Of veterans and
rockies alike is the uneasiness among
more of the former which has been
occasioned by the recent upsurge in
the stock of such formerly unim-
pressive rockies as Ernie Lain Of
Rice, Bob Fisher of Southern Cali
fornia and Sandy Sanford of Ala
bama.
Barring complete flops in both OF
the intrasquad tussles, Bob Sey-
mour, Ray Hare, Bolo Perdue, Ray
Zimmerman and either Steven An
drake or Bob Titchenal are due to
stick, along with Bob Hoffman, the
Southern California halfback who
will play with the College All-Stars
against the Green Bay Packers next
week in Chicago.
Backs Due to Get Ak.
Should Lain continue passing and
running like he has during the past
week and should Fisher and Sanford
show the drive in the game that
they have exhibited lately in prac-
tice. it's going to be hard to cast
;them adrift in the face of their
youth and promise.
Just which Redskin veterans ap-
pear in danger Of being released or
sold to another National League
team Is not yet clear, but it's most
likely that they will be backs. Fla
herty carried Is backs last year
when the league limit was three
less than 1t will be and with four
backs included among the freshmen
making good. the logical conclusion
Is that q pair of old backs will be
sent elsewhere. But even should
Flaherty keep both new centers.
neither Micky Parks nor Vic Carroll
is in danger of being cut adrift, as
the Redskins want at least three
good centers and Carroll can play
two other line positions as well.

 As a California Blue Jay
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Note to the Philadelphia man who hears the President has so far cracked up mentally and physically that his personal physician has taken up residence at the White House in order to be near him every mo- ment:
 Somebody's been kidding you.
 Admiral Ross T. Mcintyre, the Presidents doctor, has not taken up residence at the White House. and he's still bug-eyed, as he al- ways has been. over the Presi- dents metabolism.
 In short, he can't understand why the Presidents physical re- actions are continuously normal for a man of his age, why his heart, his kidneys, or some of his other vital organs don't show some signs of weakness occasion ally. But they don't. And the Pres idency has a pretty bad record as a health-wrecker, too.
