Sammy Baugh thinks the Red
skins will be able to handle the 7
formation this season a whole lot
better than last autumn when some
of their performances were more
like a stumblebums' convention thar
a football game, he said today.
I'VE know the stuff now" said
the Singer. Last year I was COM
pletely in the dark after left the
team in. Pittsburgh. I forgot al
about the T while 1 was away ano
couldn't catch up with it.
Il was lost trying to call signals
I knew the plays I wanted to use
but doggone if I could think of the
numbers. The T is complicated ano
it was like trying to open a safe
without knowing the combination
Half the time I was guessing ano
hoping it was the right number
soft of like praying for the jackpot
You can understand why we looked
so bad at times, but it won't happen
again. We've got it down now ano
we have more confidence in it.
sammy LIKES LlHcIucH
Another important thing is that
we have the linemen to make il
work this year. These boys are big
and they look pretty good to me
They should give us good protection
on passes The T is swell if the
lines strong. You can do lot OF
things with the ball and fake 'em
out of their shoes if you nave time
But if you haven't got the protection
there's nothing like the cid single
wing.
II know the single wing better
than anything else-played 1t all
my life, and I know just about
where the receivers will be. Usually
you can pick 'em out for a pass, but
not in the T if you get bawled up with
those DANCED numbers. You want
to throw a hook pass to the left end
and get the wrong number, so you
wind up in the middle of a reverse
line buck.
And with the single wing you
start out yards behind the line
of scrimmage, which gives you room
to maneuver in, but with the T
you're right up under the center
If the line doesn't hold they're
on you before you can turn around
and you don't have chance to get
the ball away. It's gonna be differ
ent this year. You watch and see. y
Sammy is satisfied he's got some
of the leagues finest pass receivers
to work with in Joe Aguirre, Les
Dye, Wayne Millner and Doug
Turley. Tom Miller, who has been
with the team only few days since
being traded by Philadelphia. also
is shaping up well, although it's still
too early to get an accurate line.
Pass Receivers Among Best.
"It's pretty hard to say which is
the best pass catcher" said Baugh.
Acquires a natural. He's always
loose and easy and he's got couple
of shovels for hands. You won't
see hi mdrop many. Millner's a
ball hawk All you have to do is
put 1t close to him and he'll get it
Don't ask me how he does it, just
watch him.

Return of the Army-Navy foot
ball game to its last prewar setting
in Philadelphia's vast municipal
stadium which became official to-
day, was regarded as the first step
in sports return to normalcy. Both
schools previously had announced
their readiness to play there.
Wartime travel restrictions caused
the 1912 game to be played at An
napolis before a community limited
audience of 11,270 spectators. In
l943 it was played at West Point
before some $1,000 fans, but last
year, largely through the efforts of
Henry Morgenthau. former Treas
ury Secretary, it was played at Bal

The Philadelphia stadium will ac-
commodate approximately 100000

Hal Newhouser, Detroit's slender
southpaw ace, is matching his torrid
1914 pace by becoming the first big
Lacquer to win 20 games in a sensa-
tional pitching squirt that may mean
a flag for the Tigers.
Hank Greenberg's return has
boosted the Bengals' hopes and AL
Benton's hurting has taken up much
of the slack caused by Dizzy Trout's
back miseries but it's Mr.. Newhouser
who will make or break Steve
O'Neill's World Series plans.
A year ago Newhouser had the
same 20-7 season victory record as
today but Trout also had copped 20.
The slim left-hander has copped
seven of his last nine starts. He
dropped a 80 verdict to Chicago
and was lifted for a pinch hitter in
game that eventually was lost in
IL innings. With AZ games to 60.
Hal will probably start in 10 and
has an outside chance of equaling
last years total OF 20 triumphs.
Newhousers 40 shutout of Phila-
delphia yesterday was his 10th
triumph and the Tigers also needed
