Los ANGELES. Aug. 2s.-You
will have to pardon Tom Farmer
and Jim Youel If they get their
wires crossed in the Redskin back
field this season.
Farmer, you understand. is a half
back and Youel quarterback, but
a few years ago at the University
of Iowa the roles were reversed.
Then, too, Farmer Is being used
some at quarterback in training
camp here, and. apparently for a
gag, Youel took his place at left
half during one Of the sessions.
II you were hunting for the typical
American boy, this Farmer would
be a good prospect. He's blond,
agile, and has a twinkle in his eye
like that OF q kid who just f1lched
the finest watermelon in the patch.
And he's quite football player.
Off-hand, it seems that George
Marshall did all right in trading
Buggy Bagarus to the Rams for
Farmer and Ralph Ruthstrom.
Good, All Around Man.
Ask Youel or Al Couppee. who
were his college chums. or ask any
body on the Redskin squad why they
like Farmers playing and they look
at you for q minute, scratch their
heads inquisitively and reply, Il
dunno. He's just good, all around
man."
Coach Turk Edwards likes him
because Tom can block and tackle
in addition to run and pass the
ball. He picked up 1000 yards on
passes for Iowa several years ago,
surprising the record Of the great
Nile Kinnick, and his 95-yard touch
down run with a kickoff In the
Tribes first scrimmage was proof
positive the guy can carry the bail.
Edwards wants to work Farmer in
at quarterback to take full advan-
tage OF his capabilities. If the idea
is successful the coach plans to use
Youel, Tommy Mont and Farmer
on defense as we'll as offense. They
look good against passes, and
ragged pass defense was one of the
Tribes glaring defects last year.
Edwards can risk an injury to one
because Mont and Farmer have
shown big league pitching form and
Youel has been groomed for the
No. 2 spot behind Sam Baugh since
the start Of the 46 campaign.
No Grudge Against Rams.
We thought Farmer might have a
grudge against the Rams for trad
ing him of for Bagarus. and on a
two-for lone basis at that. It might
have made good story before the
Ram game-you know. Former
Ram star seeks revenge" and all
that business. But Tom was honest
enough to say he had no bone to
pick with Los Angeles.
They have some mighty fine boys
on their team" he said, land I got
along all right with Coach Adam
Walsh, although I'll admit I didn't
understand his strategy at times"
Farmer would have been content
to stay with the Rams II they had
let him play more, but he welcomed
a transfer to Redskin livery because
ne felt 1t would mean more action.
He's right about that.
Tom is 26 years old and stopped
q Jap bullet on Guam.
Just nicked me-" he explained,
tossing it of lightly, but the truth
Is the slug buried itself between
his rios and almost put am end to
his football playing. ..
Squad Divided Evenly.
Farmer isn't listed in the starting
lineup for the Redskins intra-sauad

PubIinks Golfer
Muffs Revenqe

John K. Bowers had his big
moment for revenge in the Dis
trict public links golf tourna-
ment yesterday&but booted it
and lost his second decision of
the year to Julian Williams.
It was williams who made
the remark after the National
Publinks qualifying rounds that
the 30-year -old Bowers had
caddied in the Capital Open and
thus was ineligible. Bowers sub
sequently was declared a pro
by the USGA and lost his place.
Bowers was reinstated the first
of the week, however, by a spe-
cial ruling of the USGA and
who do you think he met in the
seminal of the third flight?
Right, it was Williams, and. after
holding a 2-up-and-3-to-play
lead, Bowers let williams off the
hook and lost the match on the
21St hole,
