Coach Billick Whelchel has a
new menace to scowl about. but
there is no defense in football
against the series of welcome
home luncheons given the Red
skins this week.
They're wonderful for a team S
morale and Billick appreciated
the greeting extended yesterday
by the Advertising Club, but what
it's doing to the athletes wind and
waistlines should happen to the
Philadelphia Eagles. The Ad Clubs
dinner bell also saved the Skins
from an extra workout, which
the coach rescheduled today.
Sammy Baugh's been so busy
he hasn't had a chance to have
his rib X-rayed," said Billick. 1T
may not be serious but I'd like to
know whether it's cracked rib,
torn muscle or just a bruise."
Well know how badly Sam is
hurt when he pitches against
Green Bay Sunday at Milwaukee
but it can't be much or he'd be
taking better care of himself.
Baugh won't hear of being taped
up-itches too much. 1t isn't the
first time the opposition has
played chopsticks on his ribs and
he has been able to work out.
Billick Would Hide Squad.
Whelchel would prefer to park
the team, coaches and all, about
20 miles out in the sticks, away
from the frills of social life. It's
great, he admits. to know fans
think enough of the team to in
vite it to lunch and let the boys
know they're behind them, but he
thinks the customers would rather
have a winner. That means plen-
ty of practice and a rigorous train
ing schedule.
The new Redskin boss learns
more about the pro game every
dey. He remembered how in col
lege a team with a poor record
could console itself with the
thought of getting 'em next year.
In pro ranks a coach has to "get
'em next week." with no time to
dream OF what might happen, he
lamented.
This thought was induced by
Turk Edwards remark that the
Redskins ought to beat both the
Bears and Cardinals in return
games this year. games that will
count in National Football League
standings. Curiously, the players

Hoyas' Line PIeases,
But TopfIight Runner
Again Is Big Need
By George Huber

A familiar pattern for George
town football teams is very good
line and not much in the way Of
running attack. and that is the
way things are shaping up on the
Hilltop this year. Joe Mellendick
Of the 1887 and 1888 teams prob
ably was the last tophight run
ming back to operate on the Hill
top despite a constant search for
men who could run powerfully,
fast and trickily.
In practice the Hoyas show that
Coach Bob Margarita has whipped
together q strong offensive line,
but the backs as yet haven't be-
gun to roll In big time style.
Several backs were expected to
be at their peak this season. Billy
Conn. who showed flashes Of bril-
lance as a sophomore last year.
is down with stomach ulcers, al
though he is out Of the hospital
and anxious to return to uniform.
Dick Barba, another who showed
promise as a sophomore. isn't in
top shape as yet, although in
yesterdays scrimmage he ap-
peared better than at any other
time this fall. And Babe Bara-
nowski still looks q little rusty
after his long layoh with broken
collarbone, although he too
showed a bit of spark yesterday.
Everybody Likes Line.
But the line seems to be pleas
ing everybody. The Hoya for
wards have picked up T-formation
blocking very we'll and are OPEN
ing nice holes. Defensive back
ersup too are being spilled in fine
style, and all that Georgetown
seems to need is some running
backs to take advantage of these
opportunities.
Among the line standouts are
Bob Fortunate. shifted to guard
after playing as a tackle last year;
Connie ODoherty, a blocking back
last season and now a guard;
Tackle Jim Ricca and Guards Dick
Imbornoni and Bill Orsini.
Frank Desmond. a holdover end,
is as good as he was last year,
and Dick Losh is a sophomore
end who is developing in excellent
style. During yesterdays intra-
squad scrimmage he showed big
time form in catching a difficult
pass and outfeinting two tacklers
to go so yards for a touchdown.
Terrapins Need Work.
Maryland Coach Jim Tatum
says his team still is ragged and
that the players need lots of prac-
tice and hard work.
They figure to get that hard
work on Saturday, when the Ter
rapins 60 to Hershey, Pa, for a
scrimmage against University Of
Pennsylvania. Last Saturday they
scrimmaged Delaware.
A long intrasquad scrimmage
was held yesterday, and showing
particularly well was Quarterback
Stan Lavine. Tatum calls Stan
the most improved man of the
outfit"
Jack Targarona, who has been
used at fullback in earlier scrin-
images, was shifted back to his
old quarterback SLOT and did some
effective passing.
