1t became obvious today that
Herman Ball will be replaced as
head coach Of the Redskins within
a short time, and the best guess
seems to be that Dick Todd, now
backfeld coach, will be his sue
iceSSor.
| There is no doubt whatever
that Ball will be supplanted at
once if the Redskins lose their
fourth straight league game to
the Chicago Cardinals here Sun

But it's only a guess that Todd
will be chosen because Owner
George P. Marshall insists he
doesn't know himself. Further
more, he says he isn't sure the
former Texas AIM and Redskin
backfield ace would accept the
job. He did concede. however,
that If he were to make choice
from among the Redskin coaches
and players, Dick would be the
man. There aren't many expert

season switch.

MiIIner Third New Head Coach
OF Eagles in Less Than Year

McMillin. too, always will be
remembered for a spectacular ex-
plot on the gridiron. 1t was back
in 1921 that he raced % yards for
10 touchdown that gave little
known Centre College a 6-to-0 vic
tory over a great Harvard team.
McMillin went on to greater fame
as player and coach.
Actually. MiIlner took over the
head coaching chores last week
when McMillin entered the hos
