LOS ANGELES, July ia
movie camera. improved by the
part-time work of a Hyattsville
(Md0 house-painter, will help
Coach Herman Ball decide which
80 players he'll keep of the 81 ir
training here with the Redskins
AS the squad went into its Sec
ond day of practice today. the
Tribes new head man emphasized
that he intends to keep the best
80 football players in camp-re-
gardless Of the division of posi-
tionS.
II don't see any reason for cut
ting off good halfback, even if
you have six more, to keep a
tackle who won't do the team any
good" Ball said. I'm going to
keep the best man, even If 1t
means making guards out of full
backs, centers out of ends and
ball carriers out Of tackles"
Fullback Quirk at Center.
The coach put the statement
into action Immediately, sending
Fullback Ed Quirk to center and
moving Ed Berrang, a right end
to the opposite side of the line
It was foolish, he reasoned, to
have Berrang and Joe Tereshinski
humping heads in a needless battle
for the job when he might use
one better at the opposite wing.
The camera will be used to
supply Photographic evidence of
players abilities. Ball doubts
whether four coaches can watch
all % men on a single play, so
Photographer Nate Fine will film
each scrimmage here in camp.
That night the staff will run of
the films as often as necessary to
get a line Non each mans work.
Ultimately it will decide who stays
and who goes, although rockies
of promise obviously in need of
experience will get a full oppor-
tunity to prove themselves.
NobOdy's Job Is Secure.
The camera is a professional
model generally used in newsreel
work. v. E. Paterson fitted a
magazine for it. hand tooling ali
the intricate gears necessary
The camera can take an entire
game without a change in film
and has a Hollywood look.
Ball also made it plain that
nobody's job is secure-includine
that of Harry Gilmer. Eddie Ii
Baron's clever ball handling anc
Nick Sebek's size and speed may
put the pressure on the slender

J, 1.-THE rockies especially need thu
work we're doing" said Moore
, 'The experienced backs stand out
. over them and when they return
they'll be so far behind the Others
they'll be weeks catching up. How
can you decide which men to keer
when you don't know what som,
