Hefti on His Fifth Trip to Camp,
May Win Redskin Job This Time
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-This is
Jim Hefu's fifth cross continental
trip in quest of a regular berth with
the Redskins and If he makes the
grade nobody on the squad will be
more deserving.
OF Swiss-Irish descent, as his full
name OF James Callahan Hefti will
attest, the tall, rugged t6 feet !, 2l0
poundS back seems to have in
herited the best attributes of both
races. He wears a perpetual grin
takes the bad breaks philosophically
and keeps coming back for more
He looks more Swiss than Irish and
If you put an Alpine cap on his head
you'd expect him to begin yodeling
Hefti didn't get a fair chance
with the Redskins last year because
Of chain of unfortunate circum-
stances. The first few days in camp
he pulled leg muscle and burst a
blood vessel. Then, although Grip
pied, he was packed of to New York
scarcely 10 days later to play in the
New York Herald Tribune all-star
game. Coach Turk Edwards knew
he wouldn't be much use and would
be better off resting the leg, but Jim
had to go. He reinjured his leg and
returned to the Tribe lamer than
ever.
Still the one time St. Lawrence
College star didn't give up. He kept
plugging, hoping for a break, but,
with the Tribes war feathers be-
ginning to droop and the team badly
in need Of fullback to help ailing
Sal Rosato, Hefti was sent to Will
mington to make way for Jim Cas-
tiglia. That may have been the
turning point Of his career, for Hefti
played six games for the American
Leaguers and did we'll enough to be
recalled by the Redskins. But his
luck didn't change completely. for
