Foot B|isters Hamper Kirby,
Fast Rookie Redskin Back
8 By Lewis F. Atehison
Sior Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. The
worst case of foot blisters any
Redskin can remember in training
camp has slowed Halfback Jack
Kirby's bid for a berth with the
Tribe. Rated one of the swiftest
backfield candidates on the lot
Kirby couldn't wear shoes all last
week and even now his feet bother
him.
Blond and we'll padded. the kid
from Southern Cal reminds the
few prewar Redskins left of Steve
Juzwik, a Notre Dame alumnus
who spent a year in Washington
before going to war.
"Kirby's got the same build, the
same drive and speed" observed
Backfield Coach Wilbur Moore.
We've had excellent reports on
him and I'm kind of anxious to
see what he can do"
Worried Notre Dame.
He spent an afternoon in Notre
Danes sweat-drenched hair last
year when his ball carrying and
pass receiving helped set up the
touchdowns that enabled the Tro-
jams to gain a 14-14 tie with the
unbeaten Irish. 1t was an after
noon Kirby will not soon forget.
Il still wake up dreaming of
Leon Hart bearing down on me, "
says Jack. He let me have it a
couple of times and if anybody
wants to know the best blocker in
college football it's that guy. He
hurts"
Kirby says the pass-interference
penalty that helped Notre Dame
score it's tying touchdown in the
waning seconds of the game was
a good call.
The tough part was the re-
ceiver couldn't have gotten within
10 yards of the ball" he added.
Jack grew up a couple of blocks
from the Southern California
campus and always had hanker-
ing to play football. He had four
years of it in high school, where
the combination of his size and
speed inspired the high school
sports editor to dub him "Wabbit. "
He was dash man on the track
team, too, but passed it up in COL
lege. At Southern Cal he earned
a reputation as a great clutch
player, scoring the winning touch
