But Tribes BLOCKING,

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. "a
"Bring On the Army" is this week S
war cry on the Redskins reservation.
Yesterdays intrasquad party, in
which the East, or a fair facsimile
thereof, handed the West massage
and SINCE, 31-21, apparently whetted
the Braves appetite for action.
They want the real Mccoy this time,
not practice game stuff.
Coach Ray Flaherty was not ex-
actly satisfied by yesterdays per-
formance, which was to be expected
You can't bring along squad of
veterans, such as the Skins, at too
fast pace or you'll burn 'em out
along about the fourth game of the
schedule. But they still must be
presentable for the early season
contests. So you can understand
Flaherty's problem.
Doesn't Like Blocking.
Ray thought the lines charging
and the backf1elds' blocking could
have been better yesterday, decided
ly better. He didn't like the way
some of the old gents handled them
selves pulling out of the line, which
was infrequently, nor the way in
which holes failed to open up for
ball carriers on alleged running
plays. When the latter did get into
the open, they had precious little
protection against tacklers and con-
sequently didn't romp far.
The game settled one point con-
clusively, that Sammy Baugh will
continue to be the most potent fac
tor In the Tribes attack. Without
him the East was only $3.50. It
was never a serious threat until he
cooked his bull-whip wing and
turned loose. 1t Is significant that
Sam was a wall flower while the
West ran up ALT lead, then hus-
tied into action to restore the miss
ing element Of competition.
Baugh's passes were directly re-
sponsible for three touchdowns and
arranged the trappings for the
other. He engineered the first In
the first five minutes of play, tossing
one to Bob Masterson for q 48-yard
gain, and shorter one to Wilbur
Moore that planted the ball on the
1-yard stripe. After failing twice on
line plunges, Farkas cut back outside
tackle for the initial touchdown.
Moore Catches Two.
Another pass to Moore, who made
a brilliant catch and followed with
25-yard run, gave the East its
nation clicked few minutes later
on 40-yard touchdown toss. Then,
in the waning minutes, after the
East. with q backfield of rockies
handling the. leather, had been re-
pulsed an inch from goal, Baugh
came back ia the game to heave a
touchdown to Masterson In the end
zone.
The odd three points were con-
tributed by Vic Carroll on field
goal from the 25-yard line in the
last second OF the game.
AL Krueger's pass-snagging, Dick
Todd's passing and Dick Farman's
defensive play in the line stood out
for the vanquished Westerners.
Todd heaved a tremendous forward
to Kruger covering 80 yards from
the line of scrimmage, for the first
score. Three passes to Bob McChes-
ney, moving the ball half the fields
length, accounted for the second.
Roy Zimmerman, who got off a
~ kno Il
fluffed couple, threw another long
one to Kruger, who made a beauti-
full catch and scooted the remaining
20 yards to the goal unmolested, to
tally the Vests final score.
Pleased With Poillon.
Flaherty also was pleased with
the play of Dick Poillon, who looked
every inch big Lacquer In both
passing and running the ball With
better brand OF interference,
Poillon, whose actions are strongly
similar to those OF Tuffy Leemans,
might have gotten away for couple
Of sizable gains.
Longest run Of the game was
Todd's 2l-yard jaun., sans inter-
ference, after taking pass and
running wide to the left.
Flaherty indicated that this week S
tempo will be the fastest the Skins
have travelled since beginning train
ing, with emphasis on timing. The
players also will have their first
taste of tackling dummy work a
phase of training that was delayed
by the absence of the mechanical
setup.
Among those who were not i'm
pressive yesterday and who prob
ably are headed for the chopping
block were Tiny" Croft and Joe
Lamas, tackle and guard, respec-
tiyely,
