II ,000-to-1 shot to make the grade
He couldn't make his feet behave
Passes bounced out of his grasping
paws like handballs hitting concrete
and he couldn't fake blind man to
get loose for a throw.
But PEBBLES had one thing in his
favor, a pair of size IA feet that
just about kicked all the wind out
of the football. The boys who were
supposed to kickoff into the en-
emy,s end zone were hoisting pop
flies to the 20-yard line, dribbling
kicks along the ground and kicking
out of bounds. PEBBLES didn't al
ways reach the end zone with his
booming drives, but be made the
others look so bad by comparison
that Edwards decided he would keep
him for that one chore, even If he
didn't come up to par at end.
Last Sunday PEBBLES entered a
new phase OF activity with the Skins,
kicking field goals. At least he had
his first shot at, one and the fact
that he missed didn't worry Ed
wards a bit.
Hes still year away from being
q good end" Turk was saying, "but
he's going to be one Of the best In
the league when he arrives. And
he'll be a helluva f1eld-goal kicker
too. He's too tight yet, but when he
loosens up he'll start to catch passes
as well as kick field goals.
zoo Per Cent Better, Says Turk.
Hes 200 per cent better than he
was in California. He's learned to
fake because he's more familiar
with running in the open and II
doesn't worry him any more. He
pulls 'em right out of their shoes
when he gives 'em the hip. and II
you'll notice how tall he is e feet -
you'll see what he can do to a half
back who is trying to guess where
Jim's going for the pass. Give
PEBBLES another year and you'll
agree with me that he's as good as
Jim Benton, Jim Howell, or any Of
them"
But, like jenkins, PEBBLES may
be the fellow who gives the Skins
their winning punch this season
with a long field goal at the right
time. 1t could happen.
jenkins gradually is moving into
the fullback spot with a display OF
power and ferocity that bodies nc
good for Frank Atkins or Sal Rosato
Akins' injured knee continues to
plague him, while Rosato, recov-
cred from stiff neck and packing
all the power he showed in early
season games, may have to give
way to Jenkins speed. Jacque Is
no Charley Paddock, but he's got
an edge on Rosato, and when hit
doesn't lose his feet.
Jenkins More Mobile.
Jenkins and Sal have something
in common there, but Jacque seems
to be a trif1e looser, more mobile
and likes to rough it up. The
Tribes blocking hasn't been good
enough to spring him in the open
but in broken field jenkins def
nitely seems to have the edge on
Rosato. Atkins, of course, starts
faster than either and hits the hole
cleanly, but that knee will take
care of him for a while.
The board Of strategy is using
both Jenkins and Rosato almost
exclusively on offense, turning the
defensive chores over to centers
and guards, and it's smart move
With two fullbacks of their caliber
to carry the ball the Redskins will
have all the line-smashing power
they need. But keep your eye on
jenkins. he's going to grab q
monopoly on the job or crack some
ineman's, skull trying.
