Aug. ia fellow who looks as If
he might be trying out for high
school grid team lifted the gloom
from the Pittsburgh Steelers camp
today.
He's 21-year-old Robert Gage of
Anderson. s. c. In the Southern
Conference the ex-Clemson Col
lege halfback was called "Romp-
in Robert" and Coach Johnny
Nicholson believes he may be
the man to help pull the Steelers
out of their National Football
League woes.
Until today the Steelers were
without a name" star in their
backf1eld. They lost Ray Evans,
ex-Kansas U. halfback who quit
the play-for-pay game after one
year. And Johnny (Zero) Glenn
ent who didn't come to terms
Clement has, been trying to hook
on with the Chicago Hornets of
the rival All-American Confer
ence.
Gage has every opportunity to
win a regular halfback post and If
he comes anywhere close to his
collegiate record we're going to
surprise a lot of these clubs who
might think we have a weak
team" Nicholson declared. Look
at the way that squad is buckling
down right now"
Squad on Its Toes.
The squad, as a matter of fact,
turned in its top workout Of the
training grind yesterday after
Gage donned his togs. Though 10
days late in reporting because he
had to complete summer work
at Clemson to pick up his sheep
skin. Gage looked in top condi-
ton. He weighed in at only ITO,
but is built ruggedly and looked
like he could stand the rigors of
the pro game.
Hes fast on his feet and knows
how to fall when he's hit" COM
mented Mike Nixon, the Steelers'
back coach. "And he plays good
defense ball. too."
Gage said he's seen plenty of
service as a safety man at Clem-
son. but allowed as how he'd rather
run with the ball.
"Yes, suh," he drawled. defense
is okay. but I like to romp down
that field"
He did plenty of romping in his
last two seasons at Clemson, being
selected on the Associated Press
All-Southern team in both 1947
and 1948. Last season he averaged
a shade better than six yards
every time he carried the ball. ad-
vancing 1,097 yards in 172 trys and
scoring II touchdowns.
He also threw 10 touchdown
passes and took regular turn at
punting. averaging 35.6 yards.
II know this pro game is tough
and I'm not expecting an easy time
at ALL" Gage said. LAS for that
old college spirit I guess I have
enough incentive to give the
Steelers everything I've got. My
spirit If, you can call it that,
comes from my family. After all,
I might be only 81, but I've got two
kiddies and a wife to support"

Compagno Must Shed
Weight 10 Earn Job
In Tribe Backfie|d
BY q Stoff Correspondent Of The star

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19-Tony
Compagno, whose quest for q
Redskin backfield berth was in
full swing today, has no regrets
about leaving the Pittsburgh
Steelers and no hard feelings. He
only wants to play football.
Compagno figures Steeler Coach
Johnny Nicholson is making a
mistake following as closely as
possible the wip-lashing tactics
of the late Jock Sutherland, but
finances, not physical punishment,
made him pull up stakes. He had a
good year last season and thought
he was entitled to the same con-
tract at least. He accepted COM
promise contract with the Red
skins.
Tony thinks the prime example
that something is radically wrong
with the Steelers' retrenchment
policy was Johnny Mastrangelo's S
jump to the New York Yankees
of the rival Au-America Con-
ference.
Tony Is Far Overweight.
HE was quiet guy, minded his
owN business and seldom said any,
thing" said Compagno, scof1ne
at rumors that Mastrangelo was
q clubhouse lawyer. II think it
was a matter of money with all of
u.s." he added, although I under
stand Johnny Clement had a bad
shoulder, or something"
Compagno, a beer salesman
during the off-season, is Is or 20
pounds overweight and with the
Rams game just eight days away
will have to punish himself to be
anywhere near playing condition
by then. A little handball at the
"Y" has been his only exercise
since last season.
Tony hopes he gets a chance to
play on offense with the Tribe.
He was Pittsburgh's second lead
ing ground gamer behind Bill
Dudley his first year up, he
proudly points out. Then he sud-
denly became chiefly defensive
back and last year didn't carry
the ball more than a dozen
times" He thinks he could add q
punch to the attack.
Knee Worries Livingston.
Compagno has been received
cordially by the squad, but he'll
have to show a lot of football
savvy to win the esteem Mike
Micka enjoyed with his teammates.
Most of them think Mike would
have been the defensive line
backer the Redskins needed SO
sadly last year and didn't want to
see him 60.
Coach Billick Whelchel has
scheduled the last two heavy
scrimmages for tomorrow and
Monday. The latter will be under
full game conditions. Howie' Liv-
ingston, shifted to right halfback,
had his ailing knee X-rayed yes
terday and anxiously is awaiting
the verdict. Howie took a hard
crack on it in Wednesdays scrim-
mage and isn't sure the knee will
hold up. It's worrying him greatly
