CHICAGO, April 9.-Satisfied with
the results of the player draft, bosses
Of the Washington Redskins football
team were to move back toward the
Capital today hopeful they can carry
on and play a complete schedule of
professional games next fall, even
though the Presidents newest man.
power edict remains to be interpre-
ted insofar as it will affect football.
If Farmer-Rancher Sammy Baugh
is frozen on his Texas ranch and
does not toss pigskin at Griffith
Stadium a few months hence, 1t
won't be good. And If Redskin
players now in defense jobs are not
able to play football, what becomes
of the team?
For most of the 80 college young
sters of last years teams and the
few culled from the collapse of the
Cleveland Club and the reserve list,
either are in the service or are plan
ming to don uniform. In effect, the
whole situation as regards football
is very much up in the air, although
Prexy Marshall insists football will
be played.
The Skins did very we'll In the
draft, from Jack Jenkins, their No.
l choice from Vanderbilt, down to
hitherto obscure gent named Bo
Bogevich, their thirtieth and final
choice. Bo hasn't made headlines
before and probably won't again,
but he has some distinction as the
last man drawn of the 300 former
collegians culled from list OF
1850 submitted to the National Foot
ball League as likely pro football
players.
Three Hoya Stars Drawn.
In addition to the four men draft
ed by the Skins from Notre Dame,
bolstering an already strong South
Bend contingent on the club, the
Redskins dipped deep into the 1943
Georgetown football squad, corral
ing three of the top Hoya stars
of last year. They are Frank Dorm
field, the triple threat back; John
Barrett. another potent Georgetown
backf1eld threat, and George Per-
pich, 220-pound tackle from Hibbing,
MINI.
Prexy Marshall likes his football
players big and strong. He has
them in this trio and also in the
others drafted by the Skins as the
owners and coaches sweated through
a 12-hour session.
Bob Dove, all-America end of
1941, who has slowed up, according
to Notre Dame observers, over his
form of 18 months ago, loomed as
the top star acquired by the Skins
in the draft. But Prexy Marshall
is sweet on Jenkins, the VAN
derbilt flash whom Marshall called
the outstanding prospect in the
league" Mr.. jenkins. is slated for
the Marines, and the chances he
will appear in Redskin uniform this
season are very slim. So are those
of most of the men sent to the Skins
and other teams via the draft route.
One of them-Harry Wright of
Notre Dame-is billed as one of the
original tough guys. "He is the
kind of fellow who'll tell the owner
what to do," said one football scribe
who knows Wright. He'll be telling
Mr.. Marshall how to run the club"
All Draftees Are Hefty.
All the men drafted by the Skins
are husky lads who can take it,
judged by the vital statistics on
them released by League Publicity
Man George Strickler. Here is the
