| Skins Shift PEBBLES
TO Tackle in Effort
Ito Halt Van buren

The respect Steve Van Buren COM
mands from the Redskins was ap-
parent yesterday when Coach Turk
Edwards moved 234-pound Jim
PEBBLES from end to tackle on de-
fense and hinted that more changes
could be expected before the Tribe
goes into the return rumpus with
the Eagles Sunday at Philadelphia
Stopping Stomping Steve at tackle
is only partial solution to Edwards
problem. If the Redskin coach can
bottle him up at end and keep him
from humping through center, he
almost can forget Steve and move
on to the next brain-teaser, namely
stopping Tommy Thompson's passes.
THE best solution for stopping
Van Buren, is illegal" the coach OBJ
served today. That's a 12-man
line. -Four ends, four tackles and
four men in the middle might do it.
It might slow him down, at least,
and give the line hackers a shot at
him. Come to think Of it, not many
line-backers want the shot, not the
way Van Buren hits with those
knees"
PEBBLES probably will be used at
both end and tackle, depending on
where his services are needed most,
but the chances are good that he'll
help Johnny Sanchez and John Ko-
niszewski and leave the flank work
to Paul Mckee. John Adams Is ex-
pected to take good care Of Van
Buren, at the opposite side of the
line, although it's possible that Ed
wards will make a shift to give Ad-
ans help.
It will be a real test for the en-
tire Redskin personnel, rockies as
we'll as veterans, for. Philadelphia S
looping style of line play will wear
out more than one set Of forwards.
Edwards expects lot Of help from
Mike Katrishen and Mike Roussos,
rookie guard and tackle, respective
ly, and from such elders as Doug
Turley at end, John Steber and
Fred Boensch at guard.
Stopping Van Buren is the major
part of the Tribes formula for win
ming the victory that would send
them out in front of their Eastern
title rivals. Edwards expects to have
HOWE Livingston to help out on
pass defense, along with Dan San
differ, who needs only one more pass
interception to set league record,
and Tom Mont and Hal CriSler.
Everybody and everything has
got to click Sunday if we expect to
win" Edwards said. mo one man.
or one group of men, can carry the
load. If we can slow down Van
Buren we've still got Pritchard to
contend with, or Noble Doss and
Bill Mackrides. They're all dan
gerous.' Il. F. A.

1o48 Season to Be Monument
To BoII-Corrying CoIlegions
BY the Associated Press

In this era of the glorified forward
pass 1t is nice to note that college
football still has boys who can carry
the mail.
The fading 1948 season, in fact.
promises to be monument to the
hard-working athlete who lugs by
land.
Ed Price, Tulane's churning full
back. almost is certain to become
the third player of big-.ime team
in 10 years to pass the l,000-yard
mark in rushing.
At least a half-dozen others are
likely to join the 100 yards a
game club" an exclusive organiza-
ton to which only II men have been
admitted in the last decade.
Price rolled up 134 yards in Tu-
lanes 35-13 victory over Baylor last
Saturday to increase his seasons
ground yardage to s92 and to be-
come the Nations second most ef-
fective ball toter.
National Collegiate Athletic Bureau
statistics show the rushing depart
ment still is led by Fred Wendt of
Texas Mines, who with 1,057 yards
promises to give the little Border
Conference its third straight cham
pion in this speciality.
Virginia's Papit a Threat.
Rudy Mobley of Hardin Simmons
was top ground gamer in 1916 and
Wilson Davis of the same school won
the honor last year.
They had better than 1000-yard
seasons, as did Gene Roberts Of
Chattanooga in 1896 Mobley also
topped 1000 in 1912.
But the only other player of the
recognized bigger schools to achieve
the goal in the last decade were
Frankie Sinkwich of Georgia, who
rolled up 1,103 yards in 1941 and Bob
Fenimore of Oklahoma, who gained
I,04S in 1945.
Needing only 108 yards to hit the
1000 pole, Price appears a cinch to
do 1t in two remaining games
against Cincinnati Saturday and
Louisiana State the week after.
Wendt and Price are averaging
better than 100 yards game along
with John Papit Of Virginia, Gil
Stephenson of Army and Wilson
Davis of Hardin-Simmons.
Jackie Jensen of California, Bobby
Stuart Of Army. Jay Van Noy Of
Utah State and Harry Szulborski
of Purdue are within reach Of the
door handle to the select society.
Finks Approaches Record.
Only II players in 10 years have
averaged 100 yards game. Among
them were Tom Harmon OF Mich
igan, Bill Dudley of Virginia, Steve
Van Buren Of L. S. u. Glenn Davis
Of Army, Fenimore and Sinkwich.
Stan Heath of Nevada, idle this
week, maintains his leadership in

this year"
The fungi which cause diseases
such as leaf spots and mildew live
over winter in the soil or continue
their Development on dead leaves and
trash in the garden, he says. Stalks
and leaves from diseased plants
should be removed and burned. They
should not be thrown on the mulch

Dewey has proved his competence in
domestic negotiations in his home
state Of New York. In the vital mat
ter of negotiations with foreign
powers, specifically Russia, his con-
tributions are already numerous and
have not been diminished by the
exigencies of the presidential cam
paign.
But his competence as an admins
traitor is not the only quality in Mr..
Dewey's makeup upon which we can
properly build our hopes at this time.
His conduct in this campaign to date
has proven that he understands and
intends to emphasize those aspects of
our national life which unity US rath-
er than those which divide US.
His record and his speeches show,
also, that he is far from being what
Mr. Truman is trying so hard to
prove him-a reactionary controlled
by special interests.
Such a charge is foolish when APP
piled to any serious presidential aspir-
ant, for the powers of the office are
so great that they transcend the
pressures which can be applied by
any private interest But, in the par
ticular case Of Mr.. Dewey, they are
farcical. His understanding of the
inter-dependence of our people, how
ever organized, has been proven in
his discussions of farm policy, labor
policy and other issues.
This is another way Of saying that
Mr.. Dewey understands the essential
strength Of our system. His forte lies
in his ability to find the wholesome
compromise between opposing points
of view. In political practice this
often means denying the demands of
those who are Overpowerful and up
holding the demands of weaker groups
whose claims are just. 1t does not
mean and cannot mean that Mr.. Dew
ey is either radical or reactionary. In
political outlook, he is middle-of the
road man if ever we saw one. Stable,
middle-of -the-road policy is precisely
what we need after sixteen hectic
years and the confusion they have
left behind them.
This Endorsement of Mr.. Dewey,
which we plan to support in detail
as the campaign progresses, should
not be construed by our readers as a
blanket underwriting of everything
Mr. Dewey may say between now and
election day or Of every policy he may
espouse if he is elected. He will surely
make mistakes and it will be the rule
Of the Sunpapers to point out such
mistakes to the best of our ability.
From Mr.. Dewey we expect no mil
lennium. But we do expect from him
more wisdom in the making of policy,
more consistency in outlook, more
positiveness in decision.
1t is in the belief that these quail
ties will be real gains for all the peo-
pie of the country that we urge his
election.

MIR. DEWEY SHOULD
BE ELECTED

(Front page editorial in the Balti-
more Sunday Sun, September 26.)
Governor Dewey should be elected
President of the United States.
The Sunpapers have reached this
conclusion only after careful consider
alton of the records and claims of both
candidates. The decision has been
easier than usual because, as the
record shows, Mr.. Truman has been
weak and uncertain Chief Executive,
whereas Governor Dewey, on his
record. is an able and decisive man.
Mr.. Truman has been weak and in
decisive in matters of grave import
For instance, he has been on both
sides in the matter Of price controls,
an issue of major importance in the
internal economy of the country.
He has been weak and indecisive in
the matter of industrial relations, as
when he demanded the drafting Of
striking railroad workers and then, a
few months later, vetoed the mild and
tentative Taft-Hartley Act.
He was weak and indecisive in his
handling of the Palestine question,
taking one position and then another
in accordance with the direction of the
political wind.
He was utterly wrong in his effort
to prevent the tax reduction which
the Congress voted. Worse, he tried
to defend his erroneous position by
demagogic appeals to class prejudice.
He showed his lack of understand
ing of the completely of our social
problems by his espousal of force
bills in the matter of civil rights. By
this espousal, he has split, perhaps
forever, what was the national Demo-
cratic party, leaving it little more
than an uneasy alliance of minority
pressure groups, city bosses and Fed
eral jobholders.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1948-09-30

By contrast, Governor Dewey is
sure-footed and decisive. He has been
called competent" so often that the
word has become almost an epithet.
But what his competence implies is
of tremendous importance to the
country at this juncture.
1t implies that where Mr.. Truman
backs, fills, and acts on impulse, Mr..
Dewey will make thorough study
and then take clear position. 1t i'm
plies skill in negotiation with the Con-
gress, with the organized pressure
groups and with foreign powers. Mr..
