South Carolinian, Larry Craig, at
blocking back.
Don Hutson, the leagues per-
RENAL pass-receiving ace, spends
part of each afternoon going down
under Comps expert aerials, for
Lambeau is relying on this passing
combination as chief threat
against the Giants. Lambeau says
the teams timing is considerably

way things were going. He'd make
handsome and valuable addition
to the roster.
Grigas is Chicago Cardinal prop
erty, and 1t may be that with the
Cards again operating under their
own banner he'll go back to the
Windy City, but that is only con-
jectural. Zeno recommended him
to the Skins two years ago when
Johnny was in his last year at Holy
Cross, and subsequent events proved
Joe recognized good fullback when
he saw one.
Ted Lapka, who was Grigas' room
mate when both were with the
Cards, said Johnny is a clean Living
player who adheres strictly to the
training code and may have felt he
wasn't getting enough of the right
kind of cooperation to justify con-
tinuing in the role of wheelhorse.
Lapka doesn't think there is any,
thing wrong with Grigas' tempera-
ment, and the records seem to bear
him out, but says with the right
kind of a club-and not necessarily
a world-beater, would be the
leagues No. / back.
Bidding Would Be High.
Prying Grigas loose from the
Cards will be a tough, expensive
proposition and if he is for sale 10
clubs undoubtedly will bid for him
Offhand he seems to be the only
player who might change uniforms
because in the present situation the
club owners are sitting tight, hold
ing what they have and awaiting
development.
The draft isn't expected to pro-
duce much in the way of replace
ments from college ranks, although
selectees who are available for one
reason or another certainly will be
given full consideration. Another
certainty is that there will be some
players kept who in normal times
would have to pay their way into

Battle Of Specialists
Seen When Giants
Face Packers
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. ia battle Of
gridiron specialists seems likely next
Sunday when the Green Bay Pack
ers invade New York to tangle with
the New York Giants for the Ma
tional Football League champion
ship.
The Packers, for instance, will
rely heavily on the leagues scoring
and pass-snatching champion, peer
less Don Hutson. The Giants, on
the other hand, have three titlists
in specialized departments Bill
Paschal, leading ground-g gamer for
the second straight season; Field
Goal Artist Ken Strong and Howie
Livingston, who was tops in pass
interceptions.
Final league statistics released to-
day disclosed that Hutson grabbed
his fifth straight scoring title by
piling up IS points and his fourth
pass-grabbing championship in a
row with So catches for 866 yards.
Paschal Reports as Runner.
The rushing championship went
to 200-pound PaSchal with 737 yards
in 1856 attempts for the fourth larg-
est total since keeping league sta
tistics became a standard practice
in 1882. Last year Paschal copped
the title by gaining 572 yards in
lat tries.
Although Paschal finished fourth
in the scoring column with 81
points, he matched Hutson's record
of nine touchdowns. The Green Bay
end scored all his touchdowns on
passes, while Paschal galloped to
his nine on runs from scrimmRe.
The Washington Redskins sewed
up individual passing honors with
Frankie Filchock ranked first on
"a competitions in lat attempts,
followed by his more famed team
mate, Sammy Baugh, who clicked
50 times in 146 tries to edge Sid
Luckman of the Chicago Bears for
second place. Baugh, last years
champion, trailed Filchock in yards
gained, $40 to 1.139.
With Green Bays chief offensive
threat being a furry of passes to
Hutson, Livingston's forte-spear-
ing enemy aerials-may be an i'm
portant factor in the title clash
Sunday. The fleet Giant halfback
intercepted nine tosses and returned
them 172 yards, one for touch
down.
Other Leaders Listed.

Field goals, Strong with six made

Continue Negotiation
With White 5ox for
Pitcher Haynes
By star stan Correspondent,

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Clark
Grif1ith and his Washington club
associates were to leave baseball's
winter meetings with only slim
hope of getting help for their last
place Mats through deal early next
year, unless something wholly un-
expected in the way of talent swap
occurred late today.
After all other efforts to effect
deal had proved fruitless, the Wash
ington group continued this morn
ing their negotiations with Chicago's
White Sox for the transfer to the
Mats roster of Pitcher Joe Haynes.
Jimmy Dykes, Chisox manager,
fatty rejected all offers for the
hurler, although others of the Chi
cago party promised to give further
consideration to deal for Haynes.
perhaps in month or two
So that ended. for the time being,
Manager Ossie Bluege's hunt for a
relief pitcher the Mats need so
sorely. Bluege says Haynes, a SON.
in-law of Griffith. has the quail
ties OF sound slab rescuer.
Cubs Won't Listen.
There appears no chance to
acquire the extra infielder that
Bluege wants, Plans for a deal with
the Chicago Cubs-that's the west
ern club of the National League
that couldn't be mentioned when
the Mats first went fishing for play
ers at the winter sessions strictly
are in the discard.
The Cubs had asked waivers on
Shortstop Leonard Merullo and
Pitcher Paul Derringer and the
Mats front Office put in claims for
the players. But the waiver re-
quests were withdrawn and, when
Washington went dickering for the
pair. the Cubs wouldn't listen to
anything. Bluege had hoped to get
Derringer for relief work and Mer-
ullo for regular job at short.
Now it is up to Joe Cambria, lone
scout of the Mats, to dig up some
thing for trial at training camp
next spring-if he can. Cambria
left here yesterday morning in quest
of playing material, but neither
Griffith nor Bluege gave any inti-
nation of where the scout was to
make his search.
1t Won't Be in Cuba.
1t probably won't be in Cuba.
After last years experience with
ball players of Latin American ex-
traction, those in command of the
Mats feel they should tone down
their good neighbor" policy.
Heinie Manush, who did a lot Of
solid hitting and keen outfelding
for the Mats in the last decade, may
come back to them next spring in
the capacity of coach. The coach
ing staff, reduced when George
Uhle was let out last July, could
use another member. Not long
after leaving the Mats, Manush gave
up active play to serve first as
coach then as manager of various
clubs. Last season he was in charge
at Scranton.
Frankie Baxter, the Mats club
house manager who has been grave
ly i'll in a hospital here nearly two
weeks, has better than fair chance
