Coach Billick Whelchel will be
piped aboard at Griffith Stadium
in true Navy style tomorrow at 2
pm. when the Redskins and
Giants bump heads in the first pro
game here this season. The Pen
sacola Naval Air Cadets crack
drill team will give an exhibition
between halves with the Navy
School of Music supplying the
tunes. There will be more than
500 gobs in the stands, too, yelling
for the old skipper.
Whelchel is planning quite a
show of his own, with Harry Gil
mer slated to start at quarter
back. The program is subject to
change without notice, however,
and Sammy Baugh will be on the
sideline, looking over Gilmer's
shoulder and ready to lend help
ing hand if needed. Baugh cur
rently is rewriting the book on
passing.
Charley Conerly has been named
as the Giants starting quarter, so,
at long last, the customers can
Judge for themselves whether the
Redskins made a mistake letting
him go for Gilmer. They have
similar styles, inasmuch as they
like to race around the backfleld
