Rookie Dominated Line Holds
Key to Success of Redskins

was beginning to hit his stride when
an injury put him on the shelf near
the end Of the campaign and with
any luck this year should be a
standout. Adams reminds you of
AL Blozis, Georgetown's great line
man who attained pro stardom with
the New York Giants and now lies
in a warriors grave in France.
Adams, like Al, is almost too tall and
seems a bit ungainly. Like Blozis
he's fast and can knife through a
line and cut down a ball carrier
but. by the same token, probably
will be mousetrapped by smart op-
position until he knows all the
tricks. In time Adams will be a
good tackle.
Audet, who spent a year at the
Hilltop, reminds you of another
great Hoya gridman, Babe Con-
naughton, all-America guard. The
Babe was as broad as he was long
and that goes double for Audet. Navy
put three men on him, and kept
running in reserves, In an effort to
stop him and failed, and while
Audet won't be that good against
crack pro linemen he should cut a
wide swath in their ranks.
Whited Is a compact, robust in
dividual whose mild demeanor bellies
his savagery on the field, but Hanna
looks mean. They should make a
nice pair Of guards, especially in the
T when speed and ability to handle
several different types OF blocks is
all important.
Rough work Is on tap this week,
with De Groot ordering out blocking
pads for body contact work. Work.
outs will be at an increasingly faster
tempo and rougher for the next two
weeks, although there1l be little
actual scrimmage because of the
squads numerical slimness. The
next fortnight will tell whether this
team will appear as good on the
field as it does on paper.

Smoother, smarter ball handling
in the T formation distinguishes
current Redskin workouts from last
years practice, and after a week of
preseason drilling it is apparent
the 1945 eleven will pack more Of
fensive dynamite and have more
deception than its predecessor.
There isn't much difference in
personnel. Sammy Baugh, Frank
Filchock, Mike Micka, Bob Seymour
Bob Sheldon, Frank Atkins, Wilbur
Moore, Frank Seno and Larry Fuller
are back from last season. Vito
Ananis, Carol Blackwell and a
couple of guys named Joe are the
only newcomers, but as a whole the
backfield is shaping up better than
last year. But better ball handling,
familiarity with and more conf
dence in the T formation are the
answers.
The Skins still could use a good
fullback. They haven't had one
since Don Erwin's time, that is a
big fellow who could put his head
down and smash through for a
couple of yards in crisis. Bob
Seymour and Mike Micka are being
prepped for the role, but they are
natural fullbacks and f1nesse rather
than brute power will be their forte.
If Coach Dud De Groot could find
somebody, say somebody like old
Joe Savoldi, Norm Standlee or even
Bronko Nagursh to take a turn in
the slot he could count on at least
two more touchdowns game.

Barber and Watson look as though
they can cut the mustard. They are
dead serious, handle the ball well,
and are fairly fast. Reid Linnan is
battling both for the berth and
with more experience is sure to edge
into the picture because he is bigger,
