Redskins Bear Down
|0n Aerial Defense
For Yank Game

When the Redskins announced
they were plotting black magic for
the Boston game Sunday at Griffith
Stadium they weren't kidding. Coach
Dud De Groot had a sleepy eyed
squad working out before am.
yesterday, and today's session, slated
for late afternoon, was expected to
last until dusk.
Pass defense is occupying most Of
the Skins time and there is an in
slstent demand for improvement in
this category. Passes were directly
responsible for at least two Phila-
delphia touchdowns last week, and
a rerun of the first Boston game
pictures reminded the board of
strategy that this weakness almost
lost that one.
What hurt most last week was
that Roy Zimmerman added in
suit to injury by completing
one throw under Sammy Baugh's
nose, and Baugh has been playing
defense because of his ability in
tagging aerials. That was all De
Groot had to see to be convinced
that something was amiss in the
pass defense department.
Boston has three pretty good pas
sers in Scotty Gudmundson, who
played a bangup game against
Washington in the teams first clash
and more trouble is expected of
him this week. Scotty's kicking also
put the Tribe in a couple of bad
holes when he hit the sideline as
accurately as a rif1eman.
Boston also has George Cafego
and Twenty Grand" Davis for
pitching and you never know when
they'll break out in a rash of sue
cessful aerials. Augmenting this
phase of the offense is a fairly good
running attack built around Ted
Williamson, one-time Boston Col
lege star. Oh yes, the Yankees also
have Augie Lilo, field-goal booter
OF first water. The former George
down llneman made two unsuccessful
attempts in the first Redskin game,
missing the second by a mere foot or
SO, and he undoubtedly will want to
show the home folks he hasn't lost
the touch.

Lions 10 Present New
Star Against Rovers

Harvey Jacklin, a 20-year -old TO-
pound defenseman from Hamilton,
Ontario, is expected to join Wash
ington's vengeful Lions tonight when
they play host to the New York
Rovers in an Eastern Hockey League
match at $3.50 in Uline Arena.
The newcomer is reported to be
one of the finest players in the fast
Ontario Junior Hockey League, and
is described as smart, tricky and
well-rounded youngster who should
go well here.
The Lions will introduce two re-
vised lines tonight because of the
departure of Winger Frank Long for
Toronto, where he is to undergo his
Army physical next week. George
Kelly is to join Pete Long at a wing
on line that finds Nick Phillips at
center. The No. 2 unit puts Fred
Wendorf in at the pivot between
Sammy Kelly and Alan Percival.

Barry Fitzgerald, the once-neg-

from the East carries an assignment
to interview Fitzgerald. But Barry
is the toughest fellow in town to
get anything from. Success means
nothing to him.
Cliff Reid, now production assist
ant to l.. B. Mayer at NIGH,
brought Barry to this country about
eight years ago to play one of the
leading roles in The Plough and

about one of Hollywood's oldest
citizens.
1t seems that when Reid fin
ished making The Plough and
the Stars" for RKO, Sam Briskin,
then head of that studio, took a
dislike to FitZgerald's performance
and cut him almost entirely out
of the picture. Inasmuch as Barry
was featured all the way through,
this necessitated looping off $500
feet Or three and one-half reels
There were about four flashes of
Barry left.
Crestfallen, Barry decided to re-
turn to Ireland However, Reid had
great faith in his possibilities. He
went to his friend, Mary Pickford
and begged her to put the little
1rishman under her personal con-
tract, declaring that some day he
would be the greatest character
actor in films. Mary took Reids
word for it and signed Barry to a
26-week contract at s4O0 a week.
Fitzgerald got a couple of small
loan-out jobs and meanwhile Mary
went to Europe for a vacation. AS
her option time on Fitzgerald
neared its end she cabled Reid ask
ing him if she should renew the
deal. Reid cabled back a single
word, yes So, Fitzgerald stayed
on under the Pickford- Reid spon-
sorship.
