There is an outside possibility
the Redskins will come up with
nice balance of age and ability
this season. 1t could be blend
of experience and youthful en-
thusiasm. such as the pennant-
winning Washington baseball team
had in 1924, that would make the

Siegert and Andy Lazor could help
bolster that position immeasura-
bly, if they stood up to the test.
Takes Calculated Risk.
It would be pleasant to think
that Jack Kirby. Harry Dowda or
Bob Goode could be sent into the
backfield without lessening the
teams offensive power. 1t could
turn out that way if Whelchel
is lucky, lucky enough to escape
serious injury among his key men
early in the season. If unlucky.
then the Skins will be patching
and mending throughout the en-
tire campaign as last year.
Whelchel is taking a calculated
risk in throwing his team head
long into early season battles
when none of his squad plainly
is in the best physical condition.
Some still sport bay windows. But
he's willing to take the chance.
He apparently believes hard work
is the only formula for whipping
a team into condition and knows
he must take the risk involved.

Redskins to Drill at Top Speed,
Despite Warning by Medic
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Sioff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.-It will
be full speed ahead for the Red
skins, going into their second week
of training, despite a warning
sounded by DR.. Robert E. Pete)
Moran, team physician, that
Coach Billick Whelchel may be
taking the veterans along too fast.
Veterans, the men who know
what to expect when the chips are
down and who know all the tricks
of the game, hold the Tribes title
hopes for. 1949 and, the doctor has
advised a slower pace for them.
Whelchel. too, realizes the dan
ger of torn muscles that will be
all season mending, of charley
horses and sundry other ailments
that arise from body contact. But
the coach is driving hard to have
the Redskins ready for their debut
against the Rams here on August
26. Thus, there will be no letup
in the strenuous schedule planned
for the week.
; Schedule for Week Heavy.
DR.. Moran, who is here for two
weeks to look after the squads
health, suggested that some way
be found for letting veterans work
themselves into condition in slower,
safer style. However, no practical
solution can be found to the prob
lem, with vets and rockies sharing
positions and forced to adhere to
a steady practice routine to get
down their assignments.
Whelchel is hopeful that certain
. rockies will give him the help he
needs to field a winner, but with
only IL freshmen on the squad
he obviously must look to older
hands to see him through the
stormy sessions ahead. He sent
them through a bruising scrim-
mage yesterday after only four full
days Of practice-a new record for
the club.
The Tribe escaped serious dam
age today in the first real scrim-
mage of the year. Fullbacks Pete
Stout and Ed Quirk and Harry
Dowda were slightly sensational.
Tackle John Koniszewski and
Halfback Brian Bell received
slight arm injuries. Halfback
Howie Hartley was shaken up on
a tackle but apparently will have
no bad affects.
Dowda intercepted three passes
and caught one from Harry Gill
mer for so yards and touch
down on the final play Of the
afternoon. Dan Sandifer got
away for two touchdown runs
with passes, but both were nulli-
fed by penalties.
Not Too Rough, Coach Feels.
Billick is counting on GER
tain number of casualties. He
figures they'll be about 20 per
cent of the squads strength, but
he's also hoping they won't be
serious. Not as serious. at least.
as that suffered by Harry Gimer
