BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 14-The
Redskins need additional reserve
strength for the approaching Ma
tional Football League title race ano
today thought they were on the trail
of one new player when Ed Rucin-
ski, Chicago Cardinal end, an
nounced he was quitting the team
Rucipski drew a fine for report
ing a few minutes late to a squad
meeting and didn't like it. Rather
than pay he said he would return
to his home and devote himself to
his new mink farm and several other
business ventures. Redskin officials
heard about it and while neither
President George Marshall nor
Coach Dud De Groot would confirm
1t, it was reported an offer was made
to buy the player. General Manager
Arch Wolfe said the Cards weren't
in a selling mood, however.
Rucirski later said he had agreed
to remain with the team until Sun
days exhibition with the Redskins
but would not play any more games
with the Cards. If not sold or trad
ed he said he would hang up his
cleats for good.
Run Into Old Nemesis
The Skins got quite a jolt when
they learned that another end they'll
face Sunday is their old Nemesis,
Jim Poole of the New York Giants.
A serviceman and unable to play
with his regular club, Poole has been
borrowed for the fray and if he's up
to par for the Redskin course it
means plenty of trouble.
Mitchell Ucovich, a Redskin last
year, will start at guard for the
Cards and Carol Blackwell, who was
traded to the Chicago club after 10
days in training camp last month,
probably will see action in the
back1eld.
Coach Phil Handler is crying his
eyes out about the Cards lack of
material but the Redskins expect
to face beefy line and at least one
good back. The latter is Paul Col
Inns, an all-America at Missouri
last year and Leading Big Six scorer
with II touchdowns. Collins is re-
ported to be one of the better
looking rockies in the league this
season.
The Tribe also will meet up with
one of the real heroes of the war
in AL Drulis, 195-pound fullback
from Temple, who was in the same
outfit with 1t. AL Blozis when the
latter was killed. Drulis lay in the
same foxhole seven days helping de-
fend a strategically important hill
against bitter German attack. 1t
rained all day and froze at night
and as a consequence Drulis' feet
were frozen.
"He has a helluva time walking,
much less playing football" Handler
told US, "but with bis CUTS he'll make
the grade"
Another old acquaintance sched-
uled to face the Redskins is Clifford

|Newhouser Is Blue
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.-There
scarcely is q chance that the Detroit
Tigers will be able to use either Hank
Greenberg, their slugging outfielder,
or Eddie Mayo, their sparkling Sec
ond baSeman, in the crucial five
game series opening tomorrow in
Washington.
The American League leaders, in
consequence, are not a happy lot,
though Manager Steve O'Neill is re-
framing studiously from crying out
loud. Facing five games in three
cramped days with the Senators, the
team he has to beat for the flag,
O'Neill simply is reduced to hoping
for the best.
Its tough" he admitted, "trying
to win with your top men out. II
Mayo hadn't hurt his shoulder we
would have been way out in front

playing. He's been an inspiration to
the others with his hustle and talk
Mayo's Shoulder Pains.
Mayo's left shoulder still pains
when ne tries to swing a bat. He's
in uniform, but admits it's doubtful
he will be ready by the week end
Greenberg ALSO suited up yesterday
and limped about for time in pre-
game practice, but said his left
ankle still felt very stiff. Guess I'll
be ready for the World Series" ne
grinned 'philosophically.
I'll sure use either or both of
them against Washington if I can, -
said O'Neill, but I don't think
there's much chance. Well need all
the help we can get against that
Washington pitching. Griff's got
five mighty good pitchers"
The case of Hal Newhouser, De-
troit's top pitcher. has everybody
guessing. Just when the Tigers need
him most, Hal is complaining of a
lump" under his left, or pitching
shoulder blade. He warmed up
briefly yesterday and returned to the
dugout looking gloomy.
May Pitch Opener Here.
oOnt Know, he said. Steve
wants me to open against Washing
ton Saturday, and I will If can"
While the Tigers fully realize the
importance of the Senator series,
they are not convinced that their
pennant chances hinge on it. They
point out that Washington, while
apparently very close to them in
the standing, actually is lot worse
off in the matter of games lost.
That, they say, is where it counts.
Also, they like the fact that they
have three more games left to play
than the Senators.
If we stay even close up there"
Wen be okay." one Tiger insisted.
Well probably have our strength
back the last couple of weeks, and
that's all we need to win it.

Navy Reveals New Bomber
 Neptune Is Fast,
 Heavily Armed

ashington, Dec. 70 UP) - The Navy today took the wraps off it's new Neptune patrol bomber which 1t said was the fastest, longest ranging and most heavily armed search plane ever developed.
 Flying 300 miles an hour with a normal range of $500 miles, the Neptune carries a ton of the latest radar-radios equipment, two torpe- does, rockets and six 20 NM. can non. Extra fuel tanks stretch its range to 5000 miles.
 Neptunes based on Guam could fly over ake Island, Tokyo, Man fla and Rabaul, New Britain. Based on Manila they could patrol Sing apore, Shanghai and Hanoi, French Indo-China The plane carries a crew of seven.
 An interesting new feature in the Neptune is the "Varicam Tail", a mechanical device for varying the curve of the horizontal tail surface. This lets the pilot balance heavy load in one part of the plane and keep 1t in level flight.
 The Neptune can carry 12,325- pound depth charges for submarine attack, four 2,000-pound bombs or a greater number of lighter weight bombs.
