|Redskin Ground Game
Shows Improvement
lin Drill for Rams
By Lewis F. Atehison
Siar StoH Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Aug. lit Is
a foregone conclusion that the
Washington Redskins will rely on
a passing attack to score against
the Los Angeles Rams next week.
but in yesterdays fourth scrim-
mage, under simulated game con-
ditions, they showed a potentially
helpful ground game.
Steve Bagarus and HOWE Liv-
ingston perked up with surpris-
ingly good performances and took
leading parts in the action. Even
more heartening was the per-
formance of Harry Gilmer. who
completed seven Of IL passes. one
for a touchdown.
The payoff was a hidden ball
play on which Gilmer caught
everybody looking the other way
and darted % yards for a touch
down. It was the kind Of quarter
backing the Skins will need
against the Rams.
Sammy Baugh, who gave per-
formance of 16 competitions In 20
tosses. three for scores, demon
strated again that he is not one
to waste time prodding among
belligerent arms and elbows while
he has ends like Hall Crisler and
Bones Taylor to catch passes. 1t
was press day, however. and the
coaches prefer to think Baugh
merely withheld his complete
repertoire Of strategy from visit
ing eyes.
One of the days most surpris-
ing sights was that Of fleet Jack
Kirby being overhauled by Rob
Goode after catching a pass. The
big guy simply outran him.
Goode is unbelievably fast for
his size and rough in the bargain.
He bowls over Redskins like corn
patch scarecrows. Maybe the
Rams will be tougher. but he
rules the Redskin roost.
Gilmer could improve enough
within week to match wits with
the Los Angeles defense thought
up by Clark Shaughnessy, but
Tommy Mont remains Coach Bill
lick Whelchel's ace in the hole.
The one-time Marylander was
the gent who sprung Bagarus for
gains of II and 10 yards in The
space of a minutes play, and who
cut Harry Dowda loose on a So
yard scoring jaunt that was nulli-
fled by penalty. Mont is a nice
fellow to have around.
Even Bob .Hainlen, from whom
little is expected, fired six good
passes on seven tries to add to
the display Of aerial might. More
heartening to the coaches. how
ever, was the improved timing,
blocking and tackling. From here
on the offense in particular should
improve steadily.

sci in his right hand yesterday.

SteeIers' Woes Grow,
Bob Cifers Is Fired
For Curfew Breach
BY the Associated Press

CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS. PA.
Aug. 1.-THE National Football
Leagues Pittsburgh Steelrs added
to their woes today by firing Star
Halfback Bob Cifers.
That leaves only Is veterans
from last years team in the small
squad of 40 which is trying des-
perately to get ready for the first
exhibition of the season Saturday
night at Cincinnati.
And the opponents in that exhi-
bition-the famed Chicago Bears
who have a reputation of playing
preseason games as hard as reg
ular contests.
Cifers, who didn't sign con-
tract until the second day of train
ing, was fired because he was
AZ hours late for the 10 pm
bedcheck, Coach Johnny Michele
sen said.
Nicholson. in his second season
after succeeding the late DR.. JOCK
Sutherland, isn't exactly tryant
but he's told the entire squad i
will keep training-or else.
President Art Rooney, clipped
for a $4,000 loss last season. wa.
disappointed bitterly at Cifer's
departure. But he backed hi
S4-year-old coach to the limit.
Certainly we need Cifers and
he knows it," Rooney declared
"But we absolutely cannot tolerate
this kind of thing in training
camp.
Cifers himself, didn't have any
thing to say before checking out
of camp. There's a chance he
may hook on with some other pro
club.
An ex-Tennessee University
star, Cifers came to the Steelers
in 1947 in a trade with the De-
troit Lions. There are few name
players on the Steeler roster this
season and Cifers had a chance
to become a star.
That became evident even be-
fore Cifers hit training camp. Ray
Evans, ex-Kansas U. halfback, quit
pro ball after one year with the
Steelers, and Johnny Clement
failed to show. Clement has been
working out with the Chicago
Hornets of the rival All-America
League.
How important Cifers was to
the Steelers cause is shown by a
look at the National Football
Leagues statistics. Last season
he was fourth among the leagues

with 361 yards in 112 attempts
He also punted and finished fifth
