back where he won all-State
honors. On second thought, he
won all-State honors at both
positions.
When he arrived at the Uni
versity of Missouri after looking
over a couple of bids from other
schools, he started in at full
back under Chauncey Simpson
and Immediately made good.
Tom Bolts got him interested in
putting the shot for the track
team and Ed won the Penn Re-
lays, Big Six Conference and
national intercollegiate cham
pionshipS.
Missouri was rated one of
the potentially top teams of 1945
and lived up to that by winning
an invitation to play Texas in
the Cotton Bowl, but Quirk was
inducted into the Army after the
first four games .and missed the
better part of the season.
Overseas he was stationed at
Frankfurt, Germany, and got
a chance to play football
with the Headquarters Command
eleven that mopped up every
thing but the Air Corps Command
squad and won the ETO cham
pionship. Nor was his shot put
ting neglected, for Ed competed
in the GI Olympics at Berlin and
came off with the shot putting
title. The idea of competing in
the Olympics just completed
tempted him, but he figures he
was a couple of feet short of
being a real contender.
This summer, before reporting
to the Redskin camp Ed worked
out with Jim Kekeris, Philadel-
phia Eagle tackle; Bob Callahan
of Michigan, who is going with
Buffalo, and couple of other
football players. But the work.
outs were mild compared to what
he's getting now.

Cutting Weight Below 225
Biz Worry of Skin Recruit
Bv Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff Correspondeot

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-For
almost two weeks now Ed Quirk
has slaved like a Turk on the
field and punished himself at
the dining table-taking only two
helpings-trying to slim down to
less than 225 pounds, with no
luck. Each time he steps on the
scale the arrow hunts out that
figure as surely as a bird dog
scenting quail and it makes blue
eyed Mr.. Quirk, now on the in
Jured list, very unhappy young
man.
Il can't understand it," says
the rookie Redskin fullback, look
ing hopefully at his listener for
a clue to the solution. I've
really tried to take it off, but 225's
the best I can do without cutting
off an arm or leg. And the
coaches think I should be
lighter"
But Quirk has cause neither for
worry nor perpleXity. The truth
OF the matter is that at % he's
still growing boy with high
pitched voice and an appetite to
match. You look at his 1712-
inch neck and No. II shoes and
figure he could take a couple of
gnarled, Weatherbeaten wrestlers
and knock their heads together.
Wrap Mack truck in football
suit and you have a graphic idea
of his build. He'll get bigger,
too.
Quirk seems destined to be
blocking back, although Wilbur
Moore has an idea he'd be a good
line bucker with more speed. To
speed up he must shed weight, so
he's in a quandary.

semipro football with Knute
Rockne in Indiana and reversed

Quirk grew up in that trans
planted bit of Ireland in St.
Louis known as Kerry's Patch.
Like Washington's SWamppoodle
of a by-gone day, corn beef and
cabbage was the most popular
dish and sports and politics the
faVorite topics. Ed didn't pay
any attention to the latter, but
he was busy in sports almost as
soon as he could toddle.

said, 'and we tSt. Matthew's
