Crack Linemen Added
As Redskins Open
San Diego Camp
Guard SIivinsky, Tackle
Stuart Accept Terms;
AZ in First Drill
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,
Star QtafT Cnrresn0ndsrf

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. 1S.-
With the signing of two valuable
linemen serving as pleasant sur
prises, AZ Washington Redskins
started training for the 1941 Ma
tional Football League season here
today on the well groomed gridiron
of the Brown Military Academy,
just half a mile from the blue
Pacific.
Most pleasing to the veterans on
the squad was the news that Guard
Steve Slivinsky, an all-league selec-
ton last year and alleged holdout,
had come to terms and would re-
port Wednesday.
The second piece of good news
was that Jim Stuart, 215-pound
tackle from the University of Ore
gon and the Redskins third choice
in the draft last December. was al
ready In camp after deciding over
the week end to cast his lot with
the Eastern champions.
Squad Includes 25 Vets.
Thus the squad which went
through its first workout this
morning consisted of Is veterans,
including George Smith of the 1887
championship team, Is rockies and
Center Ki Aldrich, obtained from
the Chicago Carinals in a trade for
Halfback Jimmy Johnston. AS it
turned out, Aldrich represents an
outright gift, inaSmuch as john
Ston's draft number was called and
he is believed to be in the Army.
Three rather high-prized draftees
were conspicuous by their absence,
but there was a valid reason for
each. Jack Banta, Southern Cali
fornia's 1910 fullback, was voted onto
the Chicago all-star squad and Is
busy preparing to meet the Bears
on August 2S. Ed Hiestand, lanky
end from Vanderbilt, has been
granted a weeks delay in reporting
in order to finish session of sum-
mer school. And Joe Osmanski,
brother of the Bears Bill, is pre-
pairing to play with the Eastern all
stars against the Giants on Septem-
ber 3.
All three are to report here as soon
as their commitments are satisfied.
Six New Ends at Hand.
Of all the battles for individual
positions to be waged here the next
three weeks, the fight for end berths
promises to be the hottest. This is
due to the presence of six new
flankmen. More flrst-year candi-
dates than for any other position.
In order of their regulations they
are Ed Cifers of Tennessee, AL
Kruger of Southern California,
Hiestand, Joe Aguirre of st. Mary's,
Frank Clair of Ohio State and Sam
Goldman of Howard.
When he took look at them this
morning, Coach Ray Flaherty was
not at all sure one or two couldn' t
be converted into tackle or guard. In
contrast to the rather super1uous
number Of ends was the dearth of
new guards, not one being in
camp or expected to come.
Buckingham in Center Fight.
In addition to Aldrich and Smith,
Morris Buckingham of San Jose
State is ready to wage a fight for q
center berth, while five other new
comers are backs. They are Lee
Gentry of Tulsa, who quarterbacked
the East team to victory in the
East-West game last year; Jack
Guthrie, another signal called from
st. Mary's; Ken Dow, draftee from
Oregon State; Cecil Hare, brother of
last years rookie from Gonzaga Col
lege of Spokane, and Ed Tornell, q
fullback from San Jose State.
