Redskins came up with a point-a-
minute attack in their East-West
game at Santa Ana last night, ex-
ceeding the Rams point-production
by a scant two as Sammy Baughs
Westerners nosed out Jim YouePs
Eastern eleven, 36-35, with a touch
down in the last 20 seconds OF play
Thus today the question naturally
is, have the Skins really got that
kind Of whirlwind attack or was the
offense weak?
It's a cinch the Tribe is coming
up with another potent aerial Of
tense, for unofficial figures had
Baugh completing II out of %
throws for 247 yards. while Youel
connected on 10 of his 81 tries for
200 yards. Most of the scoring was
done by a passel Of pass-snagging
ends, for Bones" Taylor latched
on to three scoring throws. two from
Baugh and one from Tom Mont. and
Johnny Lookabaugh caught three
from Youel for touchdowns.
Mont Has Good Night.
Youel had an edge on Baugh with
his four touchdown tosses to Sans
three. Jimmy pegged one to end Joe
Duckworth, but Baugh, Of course,
threw the big one, the game clincher
in the waning seconds with Bob
Nussbaumer on the receiving end
and twisting away from big AL De-
mao.
Mont, who is supposed to be nurs-
ing lame elbow, had good night,
too. completing four OF his seven
passes-one to Taylor-for So
yard total. It is noteworthy that
both eleyens had some pretty good
defensive backs on the field when
they completed these passes, so you'll
have to draw your own conclusions
1t remains to be seen whether
the Skins will have a ground game
to match their passing. Dick Todd
got loose for an 80-yard scoring
jaunt late in the first period, after
Dick Poillon earlier had bucked
over from the three, and these were
the only six-pointers scored on rum
ming play.
You can be sure that when Baugh
and the others perfect their timing
on plays involving Taylor, the
long, lean gentleman from Okla
homa will give the opposition a king
size headache. But Lookabaugh,
who has been overlooked by sideline
observers, showed he can go get
them, too, and last nights per-
Torrance undoubtedly clinched a
berth for him.
Costly Game for Tribe.
Put the squad together and you'll
probably get good running attack,
with Todd again the top guy.
1t was a costly session for the
Tribe, which may lose Guard Bill
Ward for the Ram game because
Of a foot injury. X-rays will be
made today to determine If the foot
is broken, and even If the news is
good it is not likely that he'll be
ready by next Friday night. John
Steber, the teams other first string
guard, injured his shoulder stopping
Fullback Ralph Ruthstrom and will
have to take it easy couple of
days, but he'll be ready and he'll
be dangerous off last nights per-
formance. Steber accounted for the
games only pass interception, cap
turing one of Baugh's throws in
the third period.
1t may be that the Redskins backs
are slow, for with one or two ex-
ceptions, Todd's run included, they
found it difficult, nay impossible,
to 60 around the flanks, but 1t is
possible that the ends may be as
good on defense as on offense.
Terry Tereshinski smashed hard
enough to break up a couple of
Youel's throws, and runners simply
couldn't move around Jim PEBBLES
and Johnny Kovatch when those
veterans were in action.
Veterans Are Standouts.
The standouts last night were last
years veteran linemen, the rookie
guards and the backs. Some rookie
tackles were in and out-in on some
plays dIlO way OuG Otl otilCko. LII AAAC
Williamson seemed to hive the edge
on his mates, but there is big diff
ference between Johnny Adams and
Don Avery and the rockies.
This difference, while true Of the
guards too, 1t not as accentuated.
Leo Mobile, playing with his broken
mitt in cast, came up with some
nice defensive plays, and Mike Gear
zoni was in the Eastern backfeld
often enough to get a berth with
that squad. The best guard-and
best lineman on the field, however,
was Steber.
One reason the ground game was
not sensational was the absence of
Fullbacks Sal Rosato and Jack Jen-
kins on offense. Rosato sat out the
game, while jenkins got in on de-
fense for the East. With line
plunger to tighten up the opposi-
tion's forwards both teams would
have had more success getting
around end Ruthstrom helped
prove the point while he was in ac-
ton, hitting over guard for sew
eral nice gains.
