Redskins Err Greatly
In 5crimmage, But
Also Show Glass
BY Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff Correspondenf

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.-An
anxious staff of Redskin coaches
went into a huddle today to map a
program to overcome the errors and
weaknesses that came to light yes
terday when the Burgundy and Gold
bumped heads for the first time
1t was nothing to write home about
in a manner of speaking.
The linesmen missed more as
signments than a cub reporter. The
quarterbacking was not too smart
the blocking terrible and you
couldn't get a good line on the
tackling because Coach Turk Ed
wards called off the dogs once a
back broke into the clear.
The coaches aren't discouraged
Edwards, in fact, was more pleased
by some things he saw than irri-
tated by the miscues. Jim Gaff-
ney stamped himself a good back
by an all-around performance that
included a neat pass catch from
Jimmy Youel. Stan McRae, the big
end. showed a lot of get-up-and-
go, but Doug Turley and Ted Lapka
had clear edge on the wingman
Off yesterdays performance you'd
have to pick Sam Baugh, Dick
Todd, Wilbur Moore and Frank
Akins as the Tribes best backfield
Jacobs looked fairly good in spots
but it's plain that Baugh will call
the signals when the chips are on
the line. Youel, a victim of poor
support, had a horrible afternoon
climaxed by blocked punt, which
McRae recovered for a touchdown
Aldrich was the culprit. Steve Ba-
garus got away for what would have
been touchdown run, Todd an
other, Moore another, and Baugh
threw one long pass at Todd that
would have gone for six points If
the sun hadn't blotted out the ball.
1t bounced off Dicks shoulder.
Paul Stem showed flashes of the
form that won him wide publicity
on the Coast last year, but he also
loafed couple of times and missed
a couple of signals that hurt. Bill
Ward displayed lot of speed COM
ing out of the line and big John
Adams made a couple of nice
tackles, but as a whole the squad
was ragged and showed a glaring
need for lot of work.
Last night the squad was honored
at dinner at the Jonathan Club
rendered by Norman Chandler, pub
Usher Of the Los Angeles Times,
which is sponsoring the Ram-Red-
skin game two weeks hence.
Leo Stasica, relased by the L. A.
Dons, drifted into camp yesterday
with the opinion that the Dons
don't seem to have much power.

|MusiaI's S Hot Battinq
Puts Cards Even
with Dodgers
By Joe ReichIer
Assoeio.ed Press Sports Writer

IT the st. Louis Cardinals fail to
win the National League flag this
season, 1t won't be the fault of
Stanley Frank Musial, the circuit S
No. l batter.
Top man in almost every offensive
department of play, Musial, in the
last two weeks, has staged a terrific
batting rampage which reached
stellar heights yesterday when he
practically batted the Cards into a
first-place tie with the Brooklyn
Dodgers
Musial raped out six hits as the
Cardinals swept a double-header
from Philadelphia, 7-6 and 4-3, to
draw even with the Dodgers who
were shut out, 20, by the Reds in
Cincinnati.
The hard-hitting first baseman
won the opener, played in the after
noon, with home run in the 18th
inning and blasted the Phillies'
hopes of split with a trio of base
hits which accounted for the win
ming runs in the second game, played
at night.
Wander Nicer Blanks Dodgers.
Johnny Double-No-Hit) Wander
Nicer pitched the shutout against
the Dodgers, handing the Brooks
their second loss in three games of
their fourth and final Western trip.
Rookie Third Baseman Grady Hat
ton drove in what proved to be the
winning run in the first inning with
single, and Lonnie Frey, ex-
Dodger, accounted for the Reds
second run with a homer in the sec
ond.
The Chicago White Sox won their
first game from the American
League-leading Boston Red Sox in
nine starts at Fenway Park this
season by coming from behind to
exc out 4-3 thinning decision.
Winning their second double
header in two days, the runner-up
New York Yankees trimmed the st.
Louis Browns, 4-3 and 80, to reduce
the Red Sox lead to 1914 games.
Braves Are Cubs Nemesis.
The Boston Braves won their
sixth straight victory over the
Chicago Cubs, SO, to move within

mered Bob Feller for three consecu-
tive hits in the seventh inning to
outscore the Cleveland Indians, 8-6

Yet the collegians can hope tG

defense for Bob Waterfleld's passes
to Jim Gillette, Jim Benton, FREQ

ton the Stars face a potent ground
attack headed by Gehrke, Gillette
and Pat West.

captained Notre Danes -Four Horse

that his club has been made the

The collegians won in 1897, 1888 and
1943.
Pros Have Strong Passers.
The Rams squad of 40 players
held final rehearsal under the lights
in the huge lake-front stadium last
night and Walsh said later he was
hopeful his team would continue
the professionals domination. The
collegians held their final workout
yesterday in Northwestern Univer-
sity's Dyche Stadium in Evanston.
While the greatest threat to the
All-Stars will be the sensational
pitching of Waterfield to Benton
the collegians are loaded with an
unusual number of passers and run
ners.
They include Elroy Cray Legs
Hirsch, who starred at Wisconsin
and Michigan; Bill Hillenbrand of
Indiana, who also appeared in the
1914 All-Star game; Bob Hoernsche-
meyer, former Hoosier who threw
passes for the Navy in 1945; Frank
DanceWicz of NoUre Dame, Otto
Graham of Northwestern, Don Grit
fin of Illinois and a host of other
standouts from all parts of the Ma
tion.
Up to AlI-Stars' Line.
The All-Star coaches have agreed
that the game will be decided by
how the college linemen play against
the professionals. In Martin Ruby of
Texas A. & M, the All-Stars' cap
tain, they have a great tackle. Sup
porting him is Ernie Blandid of Tu-
Ao1iC anu III 1NlIIilCil pl NQlIlll6-
sofa. At right tackle, Derrell Palmer
of Texas A. & M. will get the start
ing call.
Alex kapter of Northwestern, who
played on the 1943 All-Stars is a
standout at right guard. Visco
Grgich of Santa Clara will open the
game at left guard, with Bill God
win of Georgia at center. At the
wing posts will be Jack Russell of
Baylor, and Ralph Haywood of
Southern California.
