CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Boston's

of Cleveland's Lou Boudreau last

consecutive American League bat
ting title and his fourth in his last
five playing seasons.
Williams slammed IA hits in "a

points TO .376. The Tribes player
manager, meanwhile, skidded seven
points to .355.
Williams would have to hit a
prolonged slump while Boudreau
would have TO strike it hot for the
Beantown slugger to lose the bat

October 3.
He captured the hit title in 1941
and 1912 before spending three

California Drills Here

BERKELEY, Calf, Sept. 21.-

his University of California Bears
81 strong-will leave San Francisco
by plane Thursday to keep a Sat-
urday grid engagement with Navy

spotty.

Skins Reconstruction
Job 10 Be Completed
With Final Club Cut

A thorough rebuilding job VIII bs
completed this week when Coach
Turk Edwards makes the final Gu,
| to bring the Redskins within the
35-player limit. Halfbacks Sammy
Behr and Carl Russ departed yes
terday and three more will go within
| the next several days.
The Tribes masterminds said
they intended to make some changes
midway through the Al campaign
when it was apparent the team
needed new blood, but this is prac-
tically a new outfit Edwards is
tuning up for Sundays debut
against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Even some of the so-called hold
overs from last season were irregu-
lars who weren't here for the full
schedule.
Only six men are left who were
here as far back as 1945 and the
end is just coming in sight Four
teen players who went to training
camp with the Tribe are no longer
with the club.
Edwards is satisfied, however, he's
on the right track, although recent
changes have put the Skins back
at least a month. He doubts If the
team will be in high gear before
its fifth game. and by then 1t may
be too late to do anything about
the Eastern championship. But If
the Redskins can break even in
their first four games-four tough
ones-theyve got a good chance OF
getting into the championship play
off.
The backfield has potential pow
er but, with seven newcomers, needs
time to get co-ordinated. The stran-
GERS are Harry Gilmer, Dan Sandi-
fer, Ed Quirk and Howie Livingston,
who met in training camp, and
Choo Choo Macioszczyk, Johnny
Hollar and Howard Hartley, who
have been added during the last
couple of weeks. Jim Castiglia and
Tom Mont played part of the sea-
son with the Tribe last year, but
only Sammy Baugh, Dick Todd,
Dick Poillon, Tom Farmer, Bob
Nussbaumer and Eddie Saenz can
be classified as genuine holdovers.
AL Demao is the only center back
from last year. although Clyde Ehr-
rhardt was with the team two years
ago and has proved himself. Don
Corbitt is an goodness
rookie
Mike Katrishen Is the only new
guard certain to stick. Earl Cook
hasn't been here long enough to get
"a line on, but he's got tough sled
ding with John Steber, Bill Gray
and such worthless ahead of him.
Mike Roussos is new at tackle,
but John Sanchez played only four
games last year and John Konis-
zewski is back after laying out full
season. Ed Stacco and Scratch Ed
wards are newcomers Edwards
must make a choice between.
Hal Crisler is sure to stick at end,
leaving Charley Newman and Herb
Sheener to battle it out for the re-
manning berth-if Edwards decides
to carry seven wingmen.
It's practically brand-new club
and it should give the fans and
the opposition a surprise or two.

Spiders Hope 10 Upset
Maryland Saturday
In First Loop Test
by the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 21.-Folks
around the Southern Conference
were figuring today that maybe the
University of Richmond Spiders
were a team to be reckoned with,
after all.
With a new coach and new sys-
tenn, plus quite few new faces, the
Spiders were hard to size up before
the season actually started. But
observers who watched Dick Es-
leeck's men run rings around Ran
dolph- Macon Saturday night came
away convinced that Richmond
might very well hold its own against
tough Conference competition this
fall-and perhaps upset a few apple
carts.
The Spiders, under wraps almost
the whole contest, hardly got up a
good sweat against Randolph
Macon, which boasts one OF the
areas better small college outfits.
They won, $50, bruising to 229 yards
on the ground.
Today, Esleeck was busy planning
an ambush for the Spiders first
and one of their toughest-Con-
ference foes. The University of
Maryland, highly touted in pre-
season forecasts, comes to town Sat-
urday and the outcome Of that con-
test will speak volumes on the ap-
titude of both teams. The Terps
will be favored.
Maryland Polishes Attack.
Richmond hopes got a boost
yesterday when slim Charley SUIT
tenfield, a star runner during the
war years but handicapped by an
injury last season, reported for
practice. Esleeck Immediately put
him to work at his old tailback
position:
Meantime, Maryland brushed up
on its offense in a relatively light
drill at College Park. A lot OF
the emphasis went on sharpening
the pitching eyes of Jack Targa-
roma and Joe Tucker, couple OF
quarterbacks. Coach Jim Tatum
doubtless remembered that Ran
dolph- Macon connected on good
percentage of passes against the
Spiders last week end.
Elsewhere around the Conference
yesterday, drills also were generally
light.
At Chapel Hill, North Carolina S
Tar Heels were told by scouts that
Texas Longhorns are even better

dismayed, Coach Carl Snavely's
