Records makes his first appear

Turk Optimistic as Skins Leave for Camp

phia Eagles will be tough again,
and Pittsburgh and Boston no
longer can be considered push
overs. Turk doesn't have. to think
about the Western Division to
get himself in a worrying mood.
There's worry enough in his own
back yard.
Some of the key figures in the
Tribes 1948 plans win board the
train here today. In addition to
Gilmer, who flew here from Bir-
mingham, the group will include
Clyde Ehrhardt. a burly center
who laid off last year because of
a war injury, Dick Poillon, who
established a club scoring record
OF IS points last year, and Roy
Mckay, the punting star OBJ
tanned from Green Bay in an off,
season deal.
Doug Turley, veteran trouble

Tommy Mont-all of whom saw
service last year-rookie tackles,
Mike Katrishen, Gene Vellela
and Mike Roussos, and rookie
Fullback Roger Dughi complete
the group Of players leaving from
Washington.
Marshall, Edwards and Assistant
Coaches Wilbur Moore, Wayne
Millner and Herman Ball and
General Manager Dick McCann
complete the group.
The party will grow in size
as the train chugs westward.
Assistant Coach Tiger Walton
and End Paul Mckee will get on
at Pittsburgh and Tackle John
Koniszewski will join up at

back Bob Nussbaumer. who set
another club record last season
by latching onto Al passes: End
Jim PEBBLES, Tackle Henry Harris

Shoener will join the party.
From then on the group will
increase until it makes the final
pickup-Sammy Baugh and Dick
Todd-at Amarillo, Tex.
In all, the Tribe will begin
operations Monday at Occidental
College with 46 men enrolled.
Not as many as last year but a
hand-picked group that Turk
hopes will have another Baugh,
Todd. Farkas or Clyde Shugart
among them.
And from the looks Of things
we'll need them ALL" commented
the coach.

Olympic Games Under Way

I and international olympic vice
president, elected to wear the blue
! blazer and white trousers of the
American team rather than the
/ formidable formal attire OF other
committee members This was be-
cause of his place in the parade
of athletes.
/ Some 10000 spectators bought
tickets for the opening ceremonies
! in this stadium, which is a con-
verted dog racing track.
Although austerity prevented the
building of a completely new area,
the bright red running track and
sparkling green turf infleld made
rich setting for the parade OF ath-
letes behind their national flags.
/ The track, made of pulverized red
| tile on a base of cinders, appears
lightning fast. The chief disad-
vantage is the shortness of sthe
straightWay-barely enough for the
110-meter high hurdlers in which
the runner must ease of going
around curve.
In contrast to the pickering of
other Olympic games this one SO far
has been completely harmonious"
in the opinion of Mr.. Brundage.
The American himself has often
been a storm center.
Prospective Heroes.
Advance speculation as to who
might come out as the great in
dividual heroes centered on Amer
leans Mel Patton and Barney EWell
in the sprints and Nal Whitfield,
the middle distance runner; Lennart
Strand, Swedish champion at $500
meters: Herb McKenley, the long
striding Jamaican in the 400 meters,
and Viljo Heino of Finland and Emil
Zatopek of Czechoslovakia in the
distances.
Tomorrow brings the finals in the
high jump, the 10,000-meter run
and the women's discus throw
There will be two series of prelimi-
nary heats in the 100-meter dash
and 400-meter hurdles and the first
round of the 800-meter run
Competition starts full blast to-
morrow in basket ball, fencing, the
modern pentathlon, swimming, wa
ter and polo wrestling.
U. S. May Win 10 Titles.
In track and field, which is con-
sidered the principal Olympic sport.
Americans are favored to win 10
to IL championships out of a pos
sible "a, probably in these events:
100 and 200 meter fiat races, no.
meter and 400-meter hurdles, pole
vault, high jump, shot put, broad
jump decathlon, discus, 400 and
900 meter relays.
There Is a chance of victories in
the javelin, 800 meters and possibly
even the 400 meters
In other sports the Americans
look like this:
Basketball, unbeatable; crew,
strong; mems and womens SWIM
ming, strong but competition ter
rife; boxing, fair; canoeing, uncer-
tain: cycling, fair; equestrian sports,
hopeful; fencing, fair; field hockey,
doubtful; gymnastics, good modern

Turf Meet Protected
From Dog Racing
BY, the Assoeioied Press

TAMPA, Fla, July 29.-The Sun
shine Racing Association will race
horses at it's Oldsmar track next
winter without competition from
daytime dog races In st. Petersburg
The State Racing Commission
yesterday prohibited the Pinellas
track from holding its IA scheduled
matinees during the 40-day Sun
shine season.
To do this the commission had
to- change its old rule governing
conflicts between horse racing and
dog tracks. Now dog track may
not operate in the daytime within
so miles of a track where horses
arc running.
Heretofore the ban applied only
to dog tracks in the same county
as the dog track.
The Oldsmar track is in Hills
borough County, but is right against
the Pinellas (St. Petersburg) County
| line.

suring Gilmer, and it is probable
that Harry will not be forced to
play.
Castiglia's troubles are not too
bad to be smoothed over. The
teams top ground gamer last
season with 426 yards to his
credit and a big help to the
squad when it needed help most,
jim would prefer to pass up the
early part of the training
drudge and report later than the
rest. He is in business here and
could devote the time profitably
to it and feels he could get in
Al shape for the opening league
game despite a late beginning.
If this request was not granted
Castiglia was reported willing to
go along with the rest for 9 hike
in salary. But club officials have
pointed out that most other play
ers on the squad also are business
men during the off season and
are required to report today.
Castigla, moreover. would be as
important to the Skins in their
annual intrasquad game at Long
Beach, Calf. later this month,
and in the Rams game at Los
Angeles as in any league game
and they feel that in justice to
other players he must report
with them.
But these matters are mole
hills compared with the noun
tains of genuine trouble facing
Edwards and his staff this sea-

Turk. Steve Owen, his arch rival

By Lewis F. Atchison

"On paper this looks to be
pretty good bunch OF football
players" said Prexy George Mar
shall. putting down a Redskin
roster. TT looks pretty good
now, if we can only get Uncle
Turkey to win a couple of ball
games for us We'll be all right"
Big Turk Edwards, Oldest Red
skin in point of service and one
of the National Leagues all
time great tackles, smiled and
said nothing. The roster looks
good to him too. His job is to
get the boys to win a few games.
The Tribe departs today for its
California training camp and
what we'll may be an epochal
year in its history. Fourth in
the Eastern Division last year
and with only nine victories in
their last 23> games, the Red
skins must show decided i'm
provement in 48 or thereu be
some wholesale scalp-lifting
around the wigWam.
But Edwards looks to the fu-
ture with optimism, although it's
loaded with more trouble than a
storm cloud. Win or lose the
approaching season will be- one
of the toughest since the Tribe
pitched its tepee on the banks
of the Potomac.
Turk had a couple of problems
on his mind today as the van
guard of II players and four
coaches prepared to pull stakes
and head for the Western dig
gings. One was the question
whether Harry Gilmer, Alabama
passing star, who shapes up as
a genuine threat to succeed age
ing Sammy Baugh, would play
in the All-Star game at Chicago
August 20. Another was whether
Fullback Jim Castiglia would be
at the train, ready to go with
the squad.
