Among 4 Redskins
Drilling 10 Kickoff
By Lewis F. Atchison

Jim PEBBLES may be able to do
the kicking-off for the Redskins
against the New York Bulldogs
Sunday at Griffith Stadium, but
Coach Billick Whelchel is drilling
four others for the chore in case
the big end and tackle isn't ready.
PEBBLES injured neck, first ex-
pected to Keep him on the bench
several weeks. is responding we'll
to treatment.
One of the four brushing up on
their toe styles is Halfback Howie
Livingston, who kicks without a
shoe, in Hawaiian style. He really
digs 'em, turning up his big toe
and kicking with the ball of his
foot. He booted placements this
way in training camp but yester-
day marked his first attempt at
kickoffs and he performed sur
prisingly we'll.
Billick thought league rules
would forbid HOWE to appear on
the field without shoes but a
search of the book revealed that
only pants. jersey, stockings and
helmet are required specifically.
Even 50, Whelchel probably will
hesitate to try such a novelty I'M
less all the others hub.
Siegert's Kicking Surprises.
Herb Siegert, who never had
kicked off before last Sunday and
surprised by driving the ball
beyond the end zone. has shown
up well in practice but still lacks
consistency. Mike Roussos, a
left-footer, has the edge on him.
frankie Seno is average and Rob
Goode, who blows hot and cold,
is nursing a leg injury which
probably will keep him from try
ing his foot.
Whelchel yesterday dragged out
the tackling dummy to correct
flaws that cropped up in the
Giant game but he defended sew
eral men who seemed guilty of
butchering this chore against the
Giants. A game a week Is enough
for most players to keep their
sharpest tackling edge, he said,
but some do lose the sense of tim
ing and get rusty from a lack Of
practice. Seemingly awkward
tackling also is excusable, he
added, when it happens to be the
only way to get an opponent.
1T may not look good from the
grandstand to see a player grab
another by the hand" Billick
noted. "but If it's the only hold
man can get on the runner it's
good enough for me-"
Can't Afford Line Dummies.
The coach cited an incident at
the Naval Academy years ago, in
volving the Navy captain, Eddie
Even, to illustrate his point about
practice tackling.
For no reason at ALL" Billick
said, Eddie suddenly began miss
ing tackles. One day we came
out on the field and found Eddie
had reported early and had 20
plebes lined up and was tackling
each in turn. His face was cut
and bleeding but he stuck to it
until he was back In form. That's
the best way to do it, but on the
Redskins we don't have 20 plebes
and We can't afford to risk more
injuries to our own players by
having live tackling or scrimmage
during the week"
Big Joe OSmanski, whose BROTH
er Bill gave the Redskins trouble
a few years ago, has reported to
the Bulldogs, who bought him
from the Chicago Bears, and prob
ably will start at fullback Sun
day. Joe is rugged and the Tribe
line will have to perk up If it

NEW YORK - Progressive

Metropolitan Life Insurance com

on the company's curtain against
colored tenants.
Five more Stuyvesant Town
White families will invite Negroes

Two white families previously

Ross declared: "The tenants are
proving that the legal curtain be-

ku kIux Spirit
Still A Menace
To Entire j. S.

| New York, Nov. % - The Ku
Klux Khan, though weakened by in
ternal dissention since the death
last August of it's fanatical or
ganizer, DR.. Samuel Green, is still
a threat to the nation, one of the
South's leading editors stated to-
day in the current issue of Look
magazine.
| Holding Carter, Pulitzer Prize
winner and editor of the Green
vile, Miss, Delta Deomcrat-
Times" claimed that the spirit of
violence which leads to the forma-
ton of illegal, terroristic bands is
an American rather than purely
Southern phenomenon. Among the
Klan-liEe organizations which have
arisen in other parts of the coun-
try, Mr.. Carter cities the Vigilantes
of the West, the Molly Maguires of
the Pennsylvania coal fields, the
White Caps, the Bundists and the
Christian Frontiers.
Contrary to popular impression,
racial and religious prejudice are
not the chief bulwarks of Khan
power in the South, the Look arti-
Gle asserts. Digging back into re-
gional history, Mr.. Carter gives
four reasons for the South's special
susceptibility to Klan-like activi-
ties:
l. The presence in the South, and
particularly in the rural South, of
large numbers of Negroes as slaves
and subjugated free men for 300
years. 2. The rural and small-town
composition of the South, resulting
in a lack of organized police pro-
lection and an accompanying need
for self-protection. 3. The largely
Scotch-Irish and colonial English
background of the Southerner with
their traditions Of clan unity and
exaggerated notions of personal
honor. a. The determination of a
rural society to impose a narrow

NEW YORK-Jackie Robsinson
the Brooklyn Dodgers great Negro
star National leagues batting and
base stealing champion, was named
Friday the Most Valuable Player in
the National League for 1919, the
first member of his race ever to
win the honor.
A committee of "a members of
the Baseball Writers Association of
America-threea from each league
city-gave the star negro second
baseman 264 out of a possible 336
points in it's annual poll, SO points
more than runner-up Stan Musial,
the st. Louis Cardinals brilliant
outfielder who won the award last
year. Each writer voted for 10
players in order of their value.
Robinson, one of the major
factors in the Dodgers drive to the
National League pennant, received
II first place votes, five for second
place, three for third, three for
fourth and one for fifth, figuring
in the ballot of every one of the
writer's.
High Points OF Career
For Robinson, 30-year-old former
u. C. L. A. football star and an
army captain in the service, the
Most Valuable Player award came
as a high point in one of the most
highly publicized careers in base
ball history.
The first member of his race to
break into organized baseball dur
ing the modern era, and certainly
the most celebrated negro player
of all time, Robsinson reached full
major league stardom in 1949, his
third big league season, by batting
.342 and stealing SO bases.
His base-stealing mark was high
for the majors, while his batting
average was only one point below
that of the unofficially major lea
que champion George Kell of the
Detroit Tigers.
One of the most fiery competi-
tors in the game today, Robinson
ployed in every one of the Dodgers
156 games despite the fact that he
was hampered at several periods
of the season by arm and leg all

An outstanding fielder, especially
good in pivoting on double plays
Robinson also was high among the
major league leaders in several
other batting departments. He was
