fully. He was talking about Bob
Bell, Tech High Schools star center,
who will be playing his last game
for the Maroons Friday night in the
championship clash against Central
at Griffith Stadium.
Hes not only good center"
continued Solomon, hes great
defensive man, brilliant at backing
up our line"
AS for Tech's line, not too much
can be said about that, for Solomon
himself admits that the forward
wall is his strongest point.
Particularly the guards" he
said. "As our guards 60, so our
team will CO."
The guards are Vernon Sonny
Moorer and Ed Cleary. Each weighs
about ITS pounds and they are two

Army-Novy Tickets
By the As,ocioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-
Police reported today that blocks
of tickets for both the Army
Navy and Penn Cornell football
games have fallen into the hands
of spectators. Both games are
sellouts.
In some instances, police said
yesterday, as much as $40 was
being asked for a poor seat to
the Penn-Cornell game, which is
to be played here Thanksgiving
Day. The Army Navy classic is
to be played Saturday.
Philadelphia has an anti-ticket
scalping ordinance which pro-
hibits sale of any ticket for a
premium of more than 81 or more
than one-half the printed price,
whichever is smaller.
Police said Secret Service men
had been brought in from Wash
ington to help the Internal Rev.
enue Department track down
violators. The department is
concerned because resold tickets
must be stamped with the full re-
sale price, including Federal tax
on the final price.

There are two men in the back
field who have been overshadowed
by the brilliant running of Bob

Solomon pointed out. "Quarterback
Mel Kogod and Dick (Flea) Fletcher.
Kogod is our blocking back. He
gives personal interference to the
man with the ball. And Fletcher is
the brains of the team. He plays
wingback, but he calls all the plays
and he calls them we'll"
After reading over the latest
newspaper reports of the coming
classic, Solomon questions the ad-
visibility of making his team the
favorite.
II don't see how we can be con-
sidered favorite," he maintained.
Central has an excellent team,
and although we've made more
touchdowns than they it isn't the
number Of touchdowns that wins a
ball game It's who's ahead at the

Skins Luck Changes
As They GET Bonus
Player Draft Pick

Luck Is running with the Redskins
this week. They were still buzzing
about their upset victory over the
Cardinals yesterday when word
came from Commissioner Bert Bell
that they had drawn the bonus pick
in the 1947 draft. This means they
get their choice before the first
regular selection is made by the
lowest team In the loop.
Other club owners undoubtedly
raised an inquisitive eyebrow when
they heard the lucky Redskin num-
ber was pulled out OF a hat by
Denny Shea, treasurer Of the Ma
tionai Football, League. Shea is
former Redskin official, having
served as treasurer Of the club when
It was located in Boston.
Both Prexy George Marshall and
Coach Turk Edwards called 1t
great break for the Tribe, which
has its eye on a batch Of 194S pros
poets and was wondering how 1t
could get them. One may not sound
like much, but In the pro draft It's

inaugurated, and chose Bob Feni-
more, a halfback George Halas
wanted badly, but wasn't certain to
get in the regular draw.
The Redskin squad, meanwhile,
went back to work today to get
ready for the surprising Boston
Yanks, whose 2i-14 win over Ph1la-
delphia was sufficient notice Clip
per Smiths men will be ready next
SUNDAY. Edwards believes he may
have found a partial solution to
his line problem by the changes
made against the Cards, but he isn't
completely satisfied. Johnny San
chez played approximately 30 min
utes at tackle and did well. Ed
wards also was loud in his praise
of John Adams, although he's &C
customed to seeing the big boy come
through-or 60 through the line.
Tom Mont, a quarterback while at
MARYLAND, will be used at right half
Sunday, which is mild surprise,
inasmuch as Tom was rated an Al
signal caller.

London, Smith made evangelism
