Trio Of Redskin Vets
May Finish Careers
In Game Sunday
Ends MiIIner, MeChesney,
BuckfieIder Justice
Have Weakening Legs
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Although no definite announce
ments of retirement have been made
by any of the trio, you may be see
ing two of your favorite Redskins in
action for the last time Sunday
when the local football season comes
to a close with the game with the
Philadelphia Eagles, third veteran
who probably will retire will miss
the game because of an injury.
If their legs were as young as
their spirits. Ends Wayne Millner
and Bob McChesney and Halfback
Ed Justice might go on Indefinitely.
But with all pressing 80 and ending
their sixth seasons in pro football.
it's logical to assume that the end
of their careers is in sight.
Torn leg muscles, which have
bothered him all year, will keep
Justice out of uniform for the 194l
finale and it is believed that the
old GonZaga star is pretty well re-
signed never to donning it again.
Justice was slower than usual in
rounding into shape last August and
even before the season started his
durability was doubted. In his
prime, Justice probably was the best
pass-receiving back the Redskins
ever had and a good, path-clearing
blocker. But at this point, it ap-
pears as if the Chugger's best days
are behind him.
Defensively, McChesney and Mill
ner have left nothing to be desired
by their play this year, Precious
few gains have been made around
their flanks and when a paSSer has
been rushed or ball-Carrler stopped
behind the line of scrimmage it's
usually been No 80 or 40 who's been
found with his arms pinned around
the opposing backs arms or legs.
Further, their spirit always has been
of the type most desired by any
coach. But as pass-receivers, both
Millner and McChesney have been
a step or two behind tosses they
used to take in strike, and the con-
clusion is ineScapable.
Yet, despite the presence Of three
rookie ends. there hasn't been one
to equal those Redskin veterans
who, with the 26-year-old Bob Mas
terson. have been the teams best
bets for completing passes. Maybe
with this years experience Ed Ci-
fers, Frank Clair and Joe Aguirre
will develop into real stars in AZ.
but they haven't been depended on
enough to gain much experience
this year.
McChesney, now bona fide resi-
dent of this community, has inti-
mated that he'll 60 into business
with former Redskin End Charlie
Malone. while Millner has found
profitable employment in his ma
tive Massachusetts for the last sew
eral off-seasons. Justice, who halls
from the Pacific Northwest, is es-
tablished in the fur business.
We would have sung a swan song
for fourth Redskin veteran. Tackle
Jim Barber, who's been with the
Redskins even a year longer than
the aforementioned threesome. But
Jim. though nearing 80, has been
having one Of his best seasons, has
escaped injury and apparently is
ready to come back strong again
next year.

Casey Berger's skull. Ernie took
Nanjo for an airplane ride after

to controlled shooting December 3
through December 13. These forests,
on which Wildlife is cared for under
cooperative agreement between
the game commission and the Vir-
ginia Forest Service. include some OF
the best turkey range in the State
and support one of the highest wild
turkey populations to be found on
any public hunting area in the world.
Two hunters shooting this week
from Belmont Bay blinds question
the presence of canvasbacks in that
area. They forget that two blinds,
side by side, sometimes experience
totally different shooting, and the
flights of today often are gone to-
morrow. We can only report the
birds where we find them. Those
we have noted in the stretch above
Maryland Point were all in mid
stream, and drawing attention to
their presence in this area was
merely to show that migration was
under way and that hunters might
expect good shooting if given the
kind of weather to bring the birds
in under the shore.
Wildfowlers new in this section
are having some trouble in locating
blinds. Many of them are in mill
tary service and prefer to hunt in
Virginia because the Old Dominion
extends the privilege of shooting for
the price of resident license to all
the armed forces.
Blinds at Woodbridge.
At Woodbridge, Bob Burdette and
w. A. Hampton have blinds for daily
rental. Will Knoxville has blinds
at Stafford, while at Whitewater
there are a dozen or more guides
with blinds. Included are Tom and
Jake Brooks, Ben Tolson. Bob Ran

Mrs. Rutledge Renamed.
First move Of Mrs. Weible was
the reappointment of Mrs. P. W.
Rutledge, her tournament chair
man for the last half of 194l One
of the first questions to come up
at the initial Executive Commit
tee meeting in January will be a
proposed revision of the team match
method. suggested by Mrs. Theo-
dore Pevser Of WOodmont. The
Peyser plan would modify the pres
ent team-match method in some
important details. while retaining
the handicap features and would
provide a fall schedule for the
championship Of Washington with
out handicap.
"I have been very much disap-
pointed that no club here has come
forward with request for the vom-
ems national championship" Mrs.
Weible declared in accepting the
presidency again for the second
year. Some people said It is too
hot in Washington. The tourna-
ment will be held next year at
Tulsa. Okla, which happens to be
hot place. So I don't believe
the heat argument will hold water.
Again I ask for only construc-
/ tive criticism next year. I am sure
we will all pull together for bet

Mrs. Harb Is Speaker.
Helen Hicks Harb, the 1881 ma
tional women's champion, made a
gracious little talk. With all the
savoir faire of an experienced
speaker Helen told the 81 women
gathered at the luncheon that she
is newcomer to Washington, but
from her experience has found all
golfers and all links organizations
have common problems.
Il think We should hold sports
manship as our ideal" said Helen.
IF we don't have craftsmanship we
lose the essential part Of the grand
game of golf. We should all see that
handicaps are properly adjusted and
that all scores made and recorded
are turned in for handicaps." Helen
Hicks is an accomplished talker. She
made very favorable impression on
the women golfers, and was the lion
Of the hour.
Feature of the committee chair

that 1923 golfers entered the dozen

Maryland cottontail shooting has
since the season opened. 1t is true
that first days bags were better
than they have been since, probably
because the bunnieS hadn't learned
they were fair game, but shooting
would be better for a little more
rain and winter weather. The rab-
bit crop in Maryland this year
should, and more than likely will,
bring improved bags this month.
In Virginia the upland hunting
season is in full swing. Every coun-
ty in the State is now open. Until
the recent rain, conditions were dis
tinctly off in many sections. In
others, game was found in spite of
the drought. There was better
shooting this week, but unless there
is additional precipitation it will not
last through another seven days.
Natural Refuge Areas.
Dry soil handicaps dogs and hunt
ers alike This season, with much
of the thick swampland. usually too
wet for upland birds and game, dry
as bone, natural refuge areas are
made which are inaccessible to
hunters or dogs.
With rain or without, hunters will
continue afield and as always, some,
regardless of conditions, will get
their bag limits, while others will
return empty-handed.
There already is considerable diff
! ference OF opinion on the Virginia
quail crop, but those who report
more birds and better shooting prob
ably are hunting in a section where
the increase has been satisfactory
In other areas sportsmen have asked
| that the county be closed because
of the scarcity of birds. Predatory
animals, weather conditions ano
other factors might be responsible
but in such sections hunting coulc
hardly be satisfactory. Such differ
ences are the reason for good anc
poor reports.
