Moore, Redskin Back,
May Be Called for
Medical Review
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN.

Halfback Wilbur Moore, iron man
Of the Redskin backfield, may be
recalled for another physical ex-
animation for induction into mill
tary service, selective service officials
disclosed today. Moore's papers
have been sent to District head
quarters for medical review to de-
termine whether he will be sent to
Baltimore for an examination.
Moore. presently in Minnesota.
where he makes his home during
the off-season, holds a medical dis
charge from the Marine Corps as
result OF a shoulder injury-an
old football ailment. Redskin off,
cials were confident he would not
be accepted because of the multiple
injuries he has received playing
football. Moore enlisted in the ma
rines about a year ago and has ex-
pressed his willingness to go into
any branch Of service il called up
In the draft.
The hard-running halfback's
status came to light in the wake Of
reports from California in which
President George Marshall of the
Redskins was quoted as saying the
club might not have enough men to
make the Western training jaunt
this year. Thus far the draft has
failed to touch any member of the
1914 roster-predominately 4-F in
complexion - although it was be-
lieved that re-examination of pro
athletics would strip some from the
squad.
Hare, Masterson May Go.
Inquiry at local Board No. 8, how
ever. revealed that the Brooklyn
Tigers probably will lose Halfback
Ray Hare in April or May, and also
may not have the services of End
Bob Masterson. Both are former
Redskins.
Hare, classified la, simply had
not been reached in the regular proc
ess Of calling up men. but he now
falls within the 1923 age group
which is furnishing the bulk OF
manpower for the services at pres
ent. 1t was recalled that he is sup
porting his widowed mother, but
| that factor was not expected to enter
into the case.
Masterson told board members
last year that the 1914 season prob
ably would be his last, although his
position with a Pennsylvania elec-
trical outfit would permit him to
play football after working hours
and on Sunday. The principal part
Of his work is contracting the War
Production Board here for his firm,
he said.
A board spokesman said selective
service would not object to football,
per Sc, II it did not interfere with q
players wartime work.

Clyde Shugart, veteran guard Of
the Redskins 1912 championship
squad. Is in the same category. EN-
ployed in a Baltimore dairy, Shu.
