Redskins Rookie Ends
Seen Hit by Ban on
Player Limit Raise
By Lewis r. Atchison
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. g.
Informed last night by Commis-
sioner Bert Bell that the proposal
TO increase the player limit had
failed to receive the necessary
unanimous vote. the Redskins must
cut at least three more men by
Monday and it may happen i'm
mediately after Thursday nights
game here with the New York
Yanks.
Under present rules the squads
must be down to IS men by Mon
day and down to 80 by Septem-
ber IT, opening day for 10 clubs.
The Philadelphia Eagles and
Cleveland Browns will inaugurate
the regular season Saturday night,
September 16, at Philadelphia S
Municipal Stadium.
Bell informed clubs favoring
larger squads that he believed a
35-player limit would be agreeable
to everybody after September IT,
but that several weaker clubs had
held out for the present rule in
hope of bolstering themselves with
castoffs from their rivals.
Keen About Game With Yanks.
1t will be a close fit in a couple
of spots on the Redskins and
Coach Herman Ball is awaiting
the return of George Marshall,
Redskins president, tomorrow. be-
fore deciding what he'll do. Both
still hope to make a deal for a
lineman, although the chances are
slim at the moment.
Tommy Mont, assistant back
field coach, was due back today
with first-hand information on
last nights Yanks-Colts game at
Shreveport, La, which the YankS
won, 42-17. The news won't be
any worse than expected nor will
1t make any difference to the
Tribe. The boys are working
themselves into a fever for the
game without any prodding from
Ball or his assistants and, win or
lose, they expect to give the Yanks
O stiff argument.
Sammy Baugh summed up the
situation nicely with an observa-
ton that I'VE aren't going to hide
from them. They'll be kind OF sur
prised by some of our backs and I
don't think anybody will run over
our line"
Whether the impending fall Of
the ak has anything to do with
it-and it probably does-every-
body is hustling to be ready for
the game. If they win 1t would be
the first time the Redskins ever
finished the exhibition tour un-
beaten In i've games.
Rookie End May Go.
If any cuts are made before the
squad flies to Washington Friday,
two nominees are Rookie Ends
Alex Lloyd and John Rohde. Coach
Ball would like to keep them
awhile, but Danny Brown and Ro-
land Dale practically clinched jobs
by their work against the Lions.
In the backfeld, 1t Is nip-and-tuck
between Veteran Eddie Saenz and
Rookie Joe BartoS at halfback and
probably between Veteran John
Hollar and Rookie Chuck Drazen-
ovich at fullback, with an edge to
Drazenovich because of his speed.
Kansas City had it's mind at
tuned to the Missouri State Le-
gion Convention over the week
end and Thursdays game isn't
creating any commotion. How
ever, old timers familiar with the
sports situation here believe the
game will draw well enough If the
weather is good. The nights thus
far have been ideal for football.

Budget Of Ten
Years Ago Was
$312,994

The Board of Supervisors on
last Friday approved a record
budget of 81 1868, 1850. This is the
highest budget in county history,
an increase of more than a mil
Lion dollars over that of last
year. However, the budget in
cludes an item of 100000 as
bond issue for school buildings
and an appropriation of 100000
from the state for the same pur-
pose.
Last year the county expendi-
lures were figured at 1898, 1903.
Ten years ago the figure was
$312,994. Thus it will be seen
that county expenses have mount
ed toward the sky within the last
ten years.
At the special meeting, Mrs.
Billie Skeen, home demonstration
agent, proposed plan for beau
tifying the courthouse square. by
planting Of shrubs and flowers
The Board took. this proposition
under advisement.
An official of the State Board

lions be mde for county health
