season, but few Of the club owners
who agreed to forego the annual
draft at yesterdays session expect
to resume operations until the Axis
has been whipped.
The reason is obvious. Pittsburgh
for example. will lose all but three
players to the services and war in
dustries and Art Rooney. Bert Bell
and Coach Walter Kiesling don't
know where to find replacements
The draft was skipped yesterday be-
cause there was no sense wasting
time drawing for players who won't
be around next September and
Pittsburgh's collapse from man
power is expected to be typical. not
the rare exception.
The Redskins, who put an Of
fetal period to their 1942 league
campaign by winning the decision
over the Beefsteak A. C. at their
annual luncheon yesterday, may not
have their full complement of men
for the United Seamen's Service
pro bowl battle with the league all
stars at Philadelphia week from
Sunday. Coach Ray Flaherty, slated
to report for duty in Comdr. Gene
Tunney's branch of Navy physical
training. has been granted . fur
Tough which will enable him to coach
the team, but seven players and
Trainer Doc Mauro are due to go
In before the game and as Of today
have not been furloughed.
Beinor Gets Nose Repaired.
Ed Beinor, big, blond tackle. was
to undergo an operation on his
nose today at Episcopal Hospital
and there Is little chance he'll be
available for the game, even II
granted time off by the marines
Steve Slivinski, too, is definitely out
with a face full of hemstitching
where he came In contact with a
helmet in last Sundays champion
ship game.
Those losses alone probably will
make a big difference in the Skins
play against the all-stars and II
the other men are lost Flaherty will
need some sleight-of-hand to pull
this game out of the fire. Those
awaiting military orders are Dick
Todd, Cecil Hare, George Watts,
Ed Justice, Al Kruger and Johnny
Kovatch.
But the league, getting back to
yesterdays session, left the door
open for next season by adjourning
subject to the call of Commissioner
Elmer Layden, who can reschedule
the draft meeting at any time. If
no special session is called the mat
ter OF continuing or quitting will
not come up again until the league's s
regular business meeting In April
In some Western city.
A few minor matters constituted
the only business transacted yester-
day. 1t. Dan Reeves and Capt.
Fred Levy, owners Of the Cleveland
Rams, we're the only objectors to
passing up the draft, but were lost
in the shuttle.
Skins Revise Playoff Cuts.
The Skins cut their record break
ing playof melon into 36A shares,
but later decided Steve Juzwik,
voted the quarter share, would be
given half as a reward for his
work in six games Flaherty and
Assistant Coach Turk" Edwards
were voted full shares of $976.48,
along with 81 players and Mauro.
Johnny Goodyear, who played five
games before joining the Army Air
Corps, received a three-quarters
share Of $732.36, and Charley Ma
lone, who came out Of retirement to
play in six games, was voted q half
share. Lee Gentry, halfback who
played In two exhibition games but
was called to active duty in the
Navy before the regular season got
under way, was voted q quarter
share. Freddy Baxter, clubhouse
attendant here, was given q halt
share.
The Bears voted 81 full shares
Of $6S9.12 each in dividing the losers
pool. Chicago had cut up the
previous highest winning teams pot
two years ago when each player re-
ceived $87399.
Layden named Heartley (Hunk)
Anderson and Luke Johnsos of the
Bears staff as coaches of the all
star squad and gave them some
high-test material to handle. The
fallen Bears placed eight men on the
squad, six inemen and Sid Luck
man and Gary Famiglietti. The 32-
player roster also included Cecil
1sbell of Green Bay, Bill Dudley OF
Pittsburgh, Tommy Thompson and
Bosh Pritchard Of Philadelphia
Danta Magnani Of Cleveland and
Harry Hopp Of Detroit.
Practice Plans Settled.
1sbell's passing partner, Don Hut
son, the greatest receiver In the
game. and Marshall Goldberg Of the
Cardinals also were selected, but
may not be able to play because of
injuries.
