"I don't think I'll have any trouble
with 1t this year"
Rosato foolishly invited trouble
year ago by going into the
seasons first scrimmage without
the knee brace he wears. He
feared Edwards might think he
was dogging it if Sal told him he'd
left it off, not knowing the squad
was going to bump heads. The
subsequent injury kept him in low
gear most of the season.
Edwards has hopes Quirk will
quickly shed some of the surplus
weight he's packing and get the
lead out of his shoes because the
big fellow has an ideal physique for
fullback. And the coach isn't SELL
ing him short because he hasn't
looked good the first few days of
practice. He may be one of those
players who can't look good in drill
sessions and who can't be stopped
in games. At least everybody is
satisfied he won't let anybody step
on him without hitting back. After
all, he was an Army sergeant dur
ing the war.
ALI things considered, the situa-
ton is shaping up better than a
year ago when Rosato was the only
fullback In camp worthy of the

satisfied with the present setup.

Redskins Dealt Blow
As Dean S Old Injury
Forces Him 10 Quit
BY q stoff Correspondent Of The ster

BY q Stoff (ore$pcnoenf OF Inc Sfof
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.-Red-
skin Tackle Tom Dean has left the
Redskins after a second conference
with a brain specialist yesterday
gave him no assurance he would be
safe from another serious head in
Jury in the National Football League
campaign coming up. He has been
placed on the clubs reserve list.
Victim OF a severe conclusion sew
eral years ago while playing with a
service team, Dean had suffered
with q constant headache since ar
irving at the Redskin training camp
and became alarmed when he failed
to shake 1t of after one week. He
was bothered by headaches last year
with the Boston Yanks after getting
another blow on the noggin, but
his first visit to Los Angeles spec
ialist revealed no radical trouble.
Yesterday a brain wave test gave
OF q warning signal. The doctor
said he might play five minutes and
be seriously injured. or might play
five years without further trouble
but It was a risk he would have to
take on his own authority.
Head Coach Turk Edwards left
the decision entirely to the player,
but after a conference with Presi-
dent George Marshall and long
distance telephone call to his wife
IN Texas Dean decided to hang up
his cleats.
It was a blow to Edwards hopes
for an improved line this season, Tor
the 255-pound former Southern
Methodist star had been a standout
in Tribe practice sessions and was
counted on to be flrst-string oe-
fensive player.
His resignation also raised the
problem OF renegotiating the deal
with Ted Collins Boston club IN
which the Redskins exchanged
Quarterback Jim Youel for Dean.
The Redskins were aware that Dean
had headaches last year but Ed
wards said he was assured 1t was
nothing serious. The Washington
team does not want Youel back and
Edwards doesn't know if the yam
KEGS will be willing to part with any
player he wants.
we may be able to work out a
a.el +o take one of their draft
choices next year" he said. Il doubt
II we could get another lineman as
good as Dean from them at this
time"
While the Dean matter was being
threshed out the Redskins were
going through scrimmage in which
line blocking was featured exclu-
sively. There was no tackling and
original plans for scrimmage under
game conditions were postponed
until Thursday because OF the
SQUADS bruised condition.

Farmers Are Asked
TO Conserve Fuel
In Motor, Equipment

Maryland and Virginia extension
officials are advising farmers to plan
their truck and tractor fuel require
ments now.
Guy w. Gienger, extension agri-
cultural engineer at the University
OF Maryland, said Free State farm
ers might save up to 100000 on
tractor fuel bills by properly adjust
ing carburetors.
Mr.. Gienger said q field survey
revealed that the average farm
tractor wastes from so to $50 gall
Ions Of fuel each year. Overlooking
and overspeeding, worn carburetor
parts, low radiator temperatures and
improper intake manifold tempera-
lures also may contribute to high
fuel costs.
He advised all farmers to check
carburetor settings, to use clean fuel
and to see that gasoline engines
operate at from 1855 to 185 degrees
and engines using heavier fuel from
100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, Virginia extension en-
gineers advised farmers to stock
pile fuel requirements now so as
10 be assured an adequate supply
when it is needed.
Spot gasoline shortages have been
reported and supplies may become
|shorter.
Farmers might increase fuel stor-
age facilities to insure spring plow-
ing and planting, they said.
