The Redskins started strong
in Fridays game, marching 40
wards on sheer power plays TO
score the first time they had pos,
session of the ball Riski and
Potts shared ball-carrying duties,
moving six or seven yards a clip
to drive downfield, where Riskl
skirted right end for the final
eight yards despite their first
penalty of the evening. Roger
Walters attempted the conver-
sion but it was blocked giving
Caldwell a 60 lead.
A few minutes later the Red
skins were in possession and
storming toward another tally
but they got only as far as the
New Lex 25 before a 15-yard
penalty forced them back near
midfield where they punted. The
first quarter ended with the
Panthers gaining only l6 yards
while losing 10.
Caldwell continued to try for
another score in the second quar-
ter by moving deep into New
,ex territory on two occasions,
but Lady Luck refused to smile
on the Redskins. With Riski
sweeping the ends and Potts
slipping through the line, Cald-

yard stripe where another l5-
yard penalty put the ball back
on the As after Risk had just set
up~a first down on the 10.

football team was to work out
after its arrival here this after
noon before its game tomorrow
afternoon at Blacksburg against
Virginia Tech. The Colonials will
stay here tonight and complete
their trip with a 40-mile bus ride
tomorrow morning.
Neither team has won a game
this season-G. w. in three starts
and v. P. I. in four. It will be
Techs Homecoming tilt.
The Colonials may be slight
favorite by game time and Coach
Bo Rowland indicates he may rest
his star tailback, Andy Davis, as
much as possible If G. w. can get
an early lead. Davis has been
responsible for more than 10 per
cent of the Colonial yardage with
his passing and running despite a
bad leg and an assortment of
bruises and other minor injuries
Virginia Techs principal threat
is Quarterback Dick Goodman. So
far he has passed for three touch
downs this season. He tosses a
soft ball that is easy to catch and
he also can run well as he has
demonstrated on occasion.
Another Tech threat is Halfback
Sterling Wingo, Goodman's room
mate.

How long has Livingston
been kicking without shoes?
"Since before I went to
grammar school," he said. I've
always done it so long as I can
remember, although I've never
kicked without shoes in an
actual game"
The explanation how he got
started in this unique style Is
simple enough-Howie didn't
own a pair of football shoes.
If the tall, gaunt Californian
does get a chance to practice
the art of place kicking he'll
be up against tough competi-
ton in the National Football
League. The Giants, who had
the immortal Ken Strong for
years, have come up with an

Blanda of Kentucky. The Red
skins haven't had a real long
distance booter since Joe
Aguirre's departure, and he
wasn't overly consistent.
If Livingston does get the
chance and makes good he'll
have a niche all his own in

chives. He'll be remembered as
the guy who kicked placements

pet theory about kicking place.
ments, including one that GER
tain players do better without
shoes.
Me, for example" explained
the Redskin halfback during a
workout for Sundays game
with the New York Bulldogs at
Griffith Stadium. when I took
off the shoe to kick in training
camp everybody thought it was
a gag. I told them the shoe
hurt and they laughed at me,
but I wasn't joking. 1t pinched
my toe and kicking in stocking
feet was more comfortable"
Looking back now. it did
seem that Howie was trying to
pull somebody's leg when he re-
moved his cleats and began
banging footballs over the
crossbar with his big toe. But
they were only short kicks, Is
or 80 yards. Yesterday he sent
one booming 70 yards downfield
as the squads eyes popped open
like Jack-in-the-boxes.
Livingston's technique is
unique. He hits the pigskin on
the ball of his foot, toes up
raised like five little piggies 60
ing to market. It sounds i'm
practical, not to say impossible,
but 1t happens every day.
HOWE thinks the position Of
his toes gives him an extra
zing, something the average
kicker misses.
You can only bend the toes
so far" he explains, Illustrating
with a tug on them. And when
they snap back I think they put
a little extra omph behind the
ball-something like a sling
shot. Fellows who wear shoes
miss it,"
Livingston, of course, gets
tremendous leg power into his
boots. He is a long-distance
punter and one of these days
you may be surprised to see
him instead of Dick Poillon
drop back to kick. Poillon's
consistency and Howie's de-
fensive play have combined to
keep him idle in this respect.
but Coach Billick Whelchel is
using the Californian more and
more on offense and it will be
no surprise if and when he
turns up in the kicking posi-
ton.
Whelchel. who had visions of
a fractured big toe when Liv-
ingston went out on the field
to show a photographer how he
does it, says he won't hesitate
to use HOWE for kicking off If
needed, but right now he has
several men ahead Of him.
Livingston says he's ready any
time the coach calls on him. It
is no publicity stunt, but a
stumbling block would be that
the Redskins would have only
10 men on the field, so to speak,
whenever they used him.
