prised, too, when Frank Leahy
sent Ernie Case in to try the field
goal because Mont had shown to
better advantage In practice.
Mont certainly had no trouble
kicking 'em over from the 80
yard line in practice yesterday.
The three were surprised that
George McAfee was not as fast
as he once was, although they
aren't ready to put him down as
finished. They were stunned by
impotence OF the big Bear line,
yet said 1t seemed to be In good
physical condition.
Mont's biggest grievance was
that he couldn't see the game be-
cause Of the sunken players
bench. Gray wanted to play more
than he did, but Tereshenski,
achieving a lifetime ambition,
was thoroughly satisfied. All he
wants to do now is make q place
for himself with Redskins and
he'll be happy.
Gray has q physique similar to
Glenn Stralka's and If he makes
the switch to guard without q
hitch the Redskin fortunes will
be considerably enhanced. His
broad shoulders give him the ap-
pearance of a low-slung muscle
man, but the fellow Is actually S
feet II. He's light on his feet and
II he's only half the defense play
er the West Coast dopesters claim
the Redskins can use him.
Mont's injury comes OF an UNI
fortunate time for him, as the
quarterback job, at least the spot
behind Baugh, seems to be wide
open with Tom Farmer being
moved back for another shot at it.
The blond Iowan has done every
thing asked Of him and seems to
be a worthy rival for Jim Youel.
If the pair of them hit high g
while Tom is waiting for his arm
to heal, they'll have an advan-
tage that will be hard to over
come.

recedirg gradually and trainer
Doc Bohm thinks Tom will be
ready to play within a week. It
pulled up like a balloon when
Mont, playing defense, was
knocked to the ground and land
ed on the joint and it had to be
drained in Chicago. Bohm thinks
the fluid now causing the swell
ling will be absorbed and the
elbow will be as good as new.
Mont can throw the ball with
out pain and has moved into the
rehearsal line. The elbow only
bothers him when it receives a
sharp bloy, so he'll be held out
of today's scrimmage, which
marks the windup of rough work
here.
Tereshenski, a blue-eyed DOT
FOUNDER, IL more than the Red
skins have him listed, was one Of
the All-Star standouts, according
to Mont, but Terry scoffed at the
idea the he had starred.

All three boys-the whole ALL

They didn't work too hard In
camp and figured that the Bears
size, organization and experience
would be too much to overcome.
But when we got the first
touchdown you could sense a

Tereshenski said. Everybody
gave everything he had. We
could see the determination in
the Bears faces when they came
out of the huddle after that. but

thing they did was wrong"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-Three
Redskin rockies who reported
here after the Chicago All-Star
game will lose no time getting
into the swing Of things, thanks
to the far-sightedness Of one,
aQuarterback. You may remem-
Der Tom Mont Of Maryland and
how he used his dome for some
thing more than a hat rack when
playing for the Old Liners.
50 Mont, with an eye to the future,
took End Terry Tereshenski and
Lineman Bill Gray aside between
practices at Chicago and went
over Redskin strategy with them.
It was old stuff to one who had
been initiated into the mysteries
Of the r formation under Clark
Shaughnessy several years ago.
He used the stuff in Germany
while serving as player zach Of
an Army eleven and last year,
was back at Maryland for a
post graduate course under
Shaugnessy.
He must know it pretty well be-
cause Tereshenski handles 1t like
a veteran and he got it all from
Mont. Gray is being moved to
offensive guard. so he'll have to
hit the book while and familiar
ize himself with the maneuvers
of that position, but Coach Turk
Edwards doesn't think it will take
him long to catch up.
They're three smart boys"
said the coach, land I like the
way they took the time to study
up on our stuff while working out
with the All-Stars. It shows
they mean business"

for a quarterback post because of
