Redskins Favored Over Giants
In Pro Grid Opener Here Today

back today. figuring the fans will
want look at last years bonus
choice in sound physical condition.
Gilmer is far from the finished
passer and field general the Tribe
needs to replace Baugh, but he'll
cause a lot of mischief and give
the customers something to yell
about.
If Dowda can walk, much less
run, and Rob Goode is up to snuff
Redskin rooters will have more
to yell about. They may be sur
prised, too, by Pete Stout's full
backing. The Tribes success today
will depend a great deal on its
ends, including Ed Berrang, a
smoothie from Villanova. and
Clyde Goodnight. veteran OBJ
tanned from Green Bay.
Whelchel probably will start an
offensive team with Bones Taylor
and Joe Tereshinski at ends: Mike

Katrishen. guards; Clyde Ehr-

The Giants have some good men
too, as the fans will see today.
Most eyes will be glued on Charley
Conerly, the Mississippi lad
traded by the Redskins to New
York when the local club decided
to pin all its future hopes on Gill
mer. He could make it mighty en-
barrassing for the home folk If
Ray Poole and Bill Swiacki are in

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Yale out
pitched and outclassed its old Ivy
League rival, Columbia, 80 to 7,
in loose. rough football game
played in baseball weather at
Baker Field today An Alumni
homecoming day crowd of 10000
found little to cheer about once
the contest got under way. 1t
! was all Yale after the first six
minutes.
Nearly all of the scores came
through the air and most of those
that didn't were set up by accur-
ate Yale pitching or by erratic
Columbia twirling. That's the
kind of ball game it was.
Columbia Scores First.
Columbia jumped in front after
5:42 of the opening quarter for
its only score of the fray. 1t was
a 10-yard pass, Bob Russell to
Co-Captain Leon Van Bellingham
and climaxed a 62-yard parade,
mostly through the air. Russell
converted.
Shortly after that Yale took
charge. The Ellis tailed at least
once in every quarter.
A pass, Stu Tisdale to Ray Al
bright, covered SO yards for the
Blues first tally. Then, in the
second session, John Robertson
fooled Columbia on a fake pass
and skirted his right end from
the one to tally. That one was
set up by a forward, Robertson
to Charley Keller. good for 49
yards.
Three Quick Ones.
Yale's next three touchdoWnS
came on quick scoring plays. Cap
italiZing on poor punt, John
Setear took Robertson's five-yard
pass on Columbia's IA to register
in the third. In the final quarter,
Charley Masters raced IS yards

where Coach George Sauer's boys
pulled a fancy scoring play out of
the hat. Zastrow passed out in
the fiat to Hauff on the 80, and
Hauff Immediately lateralled to
Powers who speeded the rest of
the way.
Dukes Mounie fumbled the fol-
lowing kickoff, and Navy's Tom
Bake recovered on the Blue Devil
Is. Five cracks at the line netted
a final score, with Bannerman tax
ing the last yard.

With all the colorful pageantry
worthy of the occasion, pro foot
ball comes back to Washington
for another season today when
the Redskins and New York Giants
ltangle at Griffith Stadium at
pm.
It has all the earmarks Of a
Typical duel between these old
rivals, even though the Tribe still
lis somewhat battered from last
Mondays game and the Giants
apparently have not yet reached
peak form. On paper it seems
to be a toss-up. with a slight edge
to the Redskins largely because
| it has the passingest gent in the
National Football League in
Sammy Baugh and a passel Of
ends who can go get them.
1t will be quite a show regard
less Of the games outcome. The
crack Pensacola Naval Air Sta
ton cadets drill team is flying
here for a between halves exhi-
bition. The Navy School of Music
band, one of the top military Or
ganizations in this area. will vie
with the Redskins own elegant
l20-piece band under Dick Wan
cour's baton and at least 500 gobs
are expected to attend as guests
| of the club.
The Navy motif has been ar
ranged as a salute to Billick Whel-
chel, who gave up a comparatively
soft berth as Navy admiral for
the more critical and rugged ca
lreer of a pro grid coach. Today
marks his hometown debut as
coach. but Whelchel already has
undergone his pro baptism. With
seven games under his belt he has
seen more action than the average
college coach gets in a season, al
though this is only the third league
game.
Definitely on the shelf today are
Ed Quirk, the Tribes No. l full
back: John Steber, No. l guard,
and Jim PEBBLES, a No. l defensive
end. It's like ripping wheels out
OF the alarm clock and still expect
ing it to ring with this trio out.
Some others are not in top form.
particularly Dan Sandifer and
Harry Doody) Dowda, spark
ling one-two offensive punch when
in shape. In the line, Laurie
Niemi, a rookie tackle, is just
getting over a hip injury, which
followed his ankle injury, and a
couple of the others are not as
good physically as you'd hope to
see them.
Whelche1, however. has no ali
bis. He insisted from the start that
the rookie dominated roste~ is too
green to tote successfully the
weight Of a 12-game schedule.
Even when the Skins won, the
coach didn't think they had the
shine of polished pro eleven and
he hasn't changed his mind. But
he doesn't think physical injuries
are an alibi. He thinks pro
should be tough and rugged
enough to stand the gaff and con-
tinue to play if he can walk on
the field.
Steve Owen, weighty wizard of
Giant strategy, has similar re-
port about New York's~ unpre-
paredness, but the Oracle of the
Ozarks has yelled wolf before.
Owen comes to town for one spe-
|cific purpose-to raise hob with
the Redskins-and usually does a
good job. Last year, however, he
lost both games of the series, and
some say that was a contributing
factor in his recent illness.

Tough Line Play.
Although Penn was strong
favorite, the Quakers appeared
sluggish in the 80-degree heat as
the outweighed Princeton line
men pushed Penn's forwards
around. Except for brief burst
of power in which they scored
II points in less than five min
utes, Penn could not gain consist
emily.
Kazmaier, only 1853 pounds, also
made Princeton's second score,
this time on a 55-yard dash
around left end.
Penn's first score, a pass from
Francis (Red) Bagness to right
end Harry Wettlaufer late in the
