Baugh 5 Aching Back
Rams Davis Givinq
Redskins Jiners
By Lewis r. Atchison
Stor StoH CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28.-Sammy
Baugh, who has been the WASH
ington Redskins passing star for
too many years to remember. missed
tooay's practice because of an ach-
ing back. Baugh strained his back
yesterday throwing a pass off bal
ance and was suffering pain today,
but the doctor says he will be o. K.
in two or three days.
The injury appears to be a re-
currence of the one Baugh suffered
just prior to the 1945 play-od game.
The slim Texan says he will not
play until he feels right again.
With the exception of Baugh and
his celebrated understudy, Harry
Gilmer, the Redskins will be send
ing out well-conditioned team for
their exhibition tilt Thursday night
here against the Los Angeles Rams.
But there's apprehension in the
wigwam lest one man in the enemy
backfeld wreck the Tribes well-laid
plans. That would be 1t. Glenn
Davis, former West Point All-Amer-
ica making his first and probably
last pro football appearance.
Davis Is Man to Stop.
The Redskins lack depth at
guard, tackles and fullback, but
even with these shortcomings they
could lick the Rams-if said Rams
didn't have the fleet-footed grayleg.
Davis displayed all his speed and
cunning in the Rams intrasquad
game this week while the Redskins
looked on in pop-eyed awe. He
completely captivated the fans in
snatching three touchdown passes
and convinced the Tribe board OF
strategy that he is the man to stop
in the big game. Without him the
Rams seemed to be just another
football team and not a we'll con-
ditioned one at that.
With Gilmer on the bench, Coach
Turk Edwards will have to rely
on the ageless wing of Sammy
Baugh to throw the Skins to VIC
tory. Tom Mont undoubtedly will
get chance to run the team, too,
but Baugh is expected to carry
most of the burden and he should
be more effective than last year
when the Rams won, 20-7. One
reason is big Ed Quirk, rookie full
back who seems destined to 20
places.
Skins Receivers Good.
More reasons are a half-dozen
tall, talented ends who can go get
Baugh's passes and a balanced set
of halfbacks who have been work
ing like a drill team in practice.
Gilmer with his running ability
might have been even more of a
threat than Baugh, but with Quirk
to bang the line and keep the Sec
ondary tight, Sam will have a bet
ter chance of completing his passes
and the Texan will have a couple
of targets just as dangerous as
Davis if they get into the open in

This is a good line Tiger Walton
has whipped and harangued into
