LOS ANGELES, July 17.-Fif-
ty-one Redskins, including the 81
who arrived by plane yesterday.
began training today for the 1850
football season. First man on the
field, as usual, was ageless Sammy
Baugh, who never seems to tire
of the routine grind.
Coach Herman Ball. beginning
his first year at the helm, had the
situation firmly in hand. Ball
outlined his program, laid down
the dos and don'ts" and indi-
Gated he would brook no foolish
ness.
Meanwhile, George Marshall,
Redskins president, was busy try
ing to arrange a couple of i'm
portant player deals. Hal Crisler,
veteran end, and Jim Cullom,
draftee tackle from the Univer-
sity of California, were traded to
the San Francisco 49ers for that
clubs sixth and 18th draft choices
next year. Both have got to stay
with the 49ers to make it stick.
More important business was
reportedly brewing with the Bears,
but neither Marshall nor Ball
would tip his hand.
George Thomas, Redskins
rookie halfback, and Stan West,
Rams rookie guard, who motored
here from Oklahoma. got off to a
bad start. They spent Saturday
night at a fraternity house and
were robbery victims. Thomas
lost $25 and some non-negotiable
checks, while West lost $3.50 in
cash.
The Rams opened camp today
with Joe Stydahar, another rookie
coach, running into bad news.
Gil Bouley, veteran tackle, is TAX
ing graduate work at Boston Col
lege and may not play football
this season. Bob Waterfield has
the measles. and Milan Lazetich
is scheduled to undergo an opera
ton for an ulcer tomorrow.
