a Redskins Veterans
Missing From List as
so Contracts Go Out
By Lewis F. Atchison


Contracts for the 1850 season
were mailed to 81 Redskins veter-
ans today as Coach Herman Bal
settled down to the task of align
ing the new and old material fol
the next campaign. The list re-
vealed only four players who def.
nitely will not return.
Tackle Jim PEBBLES, Guard
Johnny Steber, Halfback Clyde
Goodnight and Center Clyde Ehr-
hardt apparently have ended
their pro careers. Steber will
coach football at his old high
school in Mobile, Ala, and PEBBLES
has similar post at Riverside
Military Academy, Gainesville
Ga. Goodnight will concentrate
on his work in the medical school
of the University of Tennessee.
while Ehrhardt is entering busi-
ness in Georgia.
General Manager Dick McCann
indicated some contracts carried
pay slashes but others called for
a boost. He salo said some veter-
ans who didn't fit in with the
clubs new plans would be traded
If the Redskins could make a deal
for them. Hal Crisler, the end,
would prefer to play with a West
Coast team to be closer to home
and the tire business in which he
is engaged. Ball is bit skeptical
about some of the other veterans
and, with win -or-else" stipula-
tion from the front office, the
rookie coach has got to get the
most and best material and by
the shortest route.
The fate of several of the old
timers will not be known until
after the draft of some All-Amer-
lea Conference players at Phila-
delphia June 3. Ball hopes to
pick up at least couple of sea-
soned linemen. He has his eye
on some good ones, and there are
some available such as Bill Rein
hard and Buddy Tinsley of the
Los Angeles Dons and Johnny
KisSal and Abe Gibron of the Buff
falo Bills. The Redskins probably
will get fifth pick in this draft,
which also involves members of
Ray Flaherty's 1949 Chicago
Rockets.
Some Redskins veterans may
decide to quit after hearing the
bad news about salaries and others
may not make the grade if the
new talent is half as good as Bal
hopes.
A list Of players who were mailed
contracts includes Ends Herb
Shoener, Ed Berrang, Joe Tere-
shinski and Hugh Taylor: Tackles
John Adams, Len Szafaryn and
Laurie Niemi; Guards John Badac-
zewSki, Joe Soboleski. Dick Sto-
vail and Herb Siegert: Center AL
Demao. Backs Rob Goode. Harry
Dowda, HOWE Livingston, Dick
Poillon, Pete Stout, Ed Quirk,
Tommy Mont, Eddie Saenz, Harry
Gilmer. Crisler and John Henry
Hollar.
Samy Baugh signed his 1850
contract some time. apo

Rotarians Hear a Gem Expert

Arnold Schiffman. the Green's
boro jeweler, talked to the Ro-
tary club about gems night be-
fore last, and in the course Of
his talk he showed moving pic
lures of diamond mining in
South America. The Rotarians
learned things about gems that
they had never known, or even
suspected, before. For example: !:
a gem is identified not SO much
by its color as by its shape. And
to tell a real gem from an imi-
tation you have to know the diff
ference between single and
double refraction. !.

the body Of a red-haired woman
about 35 or 40 years old who was
found strangled near here May 10.

body one afternoon along the West
Virginia bank of the Potomac
River, across from Hancock, Md.
She had been strangled with a
piece of rope and dumped AZ feet
