Armed with a fountain pen and
sheaf of blank Redskin contracts,
Head Coach Turk Edwards Is
! headed for the West Coast to sign
some of the football players drafted
by the Tribe at the recent National
! League meeting. Quite number
of potential Redskins will play in
the East-West Shriners' game at
San Francisco Wednesday, but
Uncle Turkey" also will traipse
around the schools and talk to
players.
He doesn't anticipate much trouble
signing the men he really wants.
He said it as quietly and convinc-
ingly as when he predicted he'd sign
Steve Bagarus last August when
Little Boy Blew" was yapping
about offers of $4,000 to sign with
the Los Angeles Dons of the ALL
America Conference. Bagarus not
only signed, but seemed downright
glad to be in the fold.
Seeks Lots of Heft.
Big men seem to be Turks partic-
ular quarry on this expedition. He
wants to lasso, for example, Boyd
Clement, 6-foot-3. 250-pounder
from Oregon State, who was shifted
from center to tackle this year by
the Beavers. He'd like to get Ted
Osswiski, pound tackle at
the same school, and Fred Bunch,
23O-p pound tackle at Stanford.
He won't be surprised if he does
sign them, because Turk thinks he's
got a good proposition for them all.
The Tribes titantic tutor also
thinks he'll get Cal Rossis name
on TIE dotted line. Rossi promised
Chief George Marshall to wait until
after talking to Edwards before
making any decision regarding any
possible offers from the rival loop.
Il. G.. Carmody. from the little col
+lege of Washington Central, who
was good enough to be picked for
the East-West game, Bob Reinhart,
a hard-runner from U. S. c., and
Jake Leight of Oregon also are
on Turks calling list.
Edwards isn't at all worried about
competitive bidding by the ALL
America Conference. He doesn't
think the boys will snap at those
lush offers after hearing of the
Conferences financial difficulties
this season. Nor does he think he'll
have to promise the players mort
gage on Griffith Stadium to bring
EN- back to Washington.
/ Edwards safari will be as brief
as possible. He's due back for the
/ Touchdown Club dinner January 13.
Only Four Draftees Rated "a"
Speaking of the caliber of players
] coming up from college ranks this
year, Turk revealed that only four
in the entire country. were rated
"A" in a poll among the collegians
! themselves. These were Glenn Davis
of Army, drafted by the Detroit
Lions; Bob Fenimore of Oklahoma
A. & NJ, drafted by the Bears; Neil
Armstrong, of Oklahoma, drafted by
the Philadelphia Eagles, and Ernie
Case, of U. C. L. A, who was chosen
by a club that declined to reveal
it's choices. ALL of course. also were
drafted by All-America clubs. which
did not reveal their choices.
Most of the Redskin picks were
rated either B or B-plus, but, as
Turk pointed out, ratings don't al
ways mean a lot. Unknowns fire.

Reform in Golf Hondicopping
Urqed by Martin Mccarthy

A handicap system whereby the
best players in Maryland would be
used as a yardstick and all other
handicaps based upon the select
group will be proposed to the Mary
land State Golf Association before
the annual meeting at Indian Spring
January II.
Martin F. Mccarthy, first vice
president of the Washington dis
trict from Columbia Country Club
is pushing the plan, patterned after
the system used by the Metropolitan
New York Golf Association. At pres
ent the Maryland State uses the
Chicago district system, which re-
quires 10 cards to be turned in each
month, and thus results in consid-
cradle bookkeeping.
The top 20 or 25 golfers in the
State would be rated at first, and
knowing the ability of the police
men" the Handicap Committee of
the member clubs would proceed
from that point. handicapping the
best players first.
1t has been suggested that pos
sibly five players in Washington,
Baltimore and throughout the State
would top the list at scratch or one,
Bobby Brownell, Ralph Bogart and
Volney Burnett from the District
and Otto Greiner and Spencer Over
ton from Baltimore, on their rec
ords. would deserve the lowest han
dicaps.
The next group would be the 2
or handicap players, not quite as
good as the aforementioned five, but
the group would be considerably
larger. The system would do away
with handicapping players on the
par and they would be handicapped
on their ability, in relation to the
best golfers of the State.
"As it is now, the Maryland State
card Is little more than a receipt for
a dollar bill," Mccarthy, one of the
Districts best known amateurs and
a member of the Golf Committee at
Columbia said, "If we can establish
this system a State handicap card
will mean something"
Mccarthy pointed out that most
handicaps are based on play from
the front tees and by winter rules,
particularly in the middle and high
handicap bracket, and thus were
inaccurate. Under the proposed
plan, all would be based on tourna-
ment golf conditions, which would
give the short hitters an advantage.
In New York, list of Metropoli-
tan handicaps is published in the
spring and stands for the season,
with corrections submitted by each

and Pennsylvania champions to gain
the national tournament round.
Coolidge dominated District high
school sports, garnering basket ball,
baseball and football championships.
Bill Cannon and Dick Taylor were
standouts on the Colts quintet that
beat Wilson for both the public
high and Star Metropolitan cham
pionships. Wilson's Gene Taylor
was voted outstanding player in the
metropolitan tourney. Gonzaga won
the Catholic school title.
Two No-Hit Games.
Two no-hit games pitched by Tex
Jones highlighted Coolidge's rise to
the baseball championship. Wilson
won the track title for the fourth
straight time, although it took only
one first place in the title meet
That was a record-breaking per-
formance by Paul Ostrye in the 440-
yard dash. Eastern's Clarence Nor
gan broke the discus record. The
"C'' Club meet was won by Balti-
more Poly.
Coolidge won the football title
in a playoff against Tech. Gonzaga
beat st. Johns for the Catholic
championship and with nine vic
tories, including one over Coolidge
got the unofficial District laurels.
The scholastic all-star football
game produced a winner for the
first time in its four years with the
Props beating the Highs.
Vernon provided Cinderella

300 hitter in the majors, the Wash
ington clubs first baseman com,

pionship and figure prominently ir
the Mats fourth-place finish.
For the third time in four years
Manager Ossie Bluege landed Wash.
ington in the first division despite
pitching staff that failed to fulfil
expectations. Handicapping Ossie
too. was the collapse of Shortstor
Cecil Travis. whose legs went bach
on him in midseason. Travis ended
the season as part-time thlrt
baseman.
Absence of an acceptable thiro
oaseman also hampered the Mats
