With Plans for 1853
Redskins Undecided
By Lewis +. Atchison


1858. Coach Curly Lambeau of
bhe Redskins is scheduled to leave
Washington late this afternoon
Tor three-week trip to California.
He won't be back until January
II and won't be ready before then
20 announce any of his plans for
next season. But changes are con-
templated, he indicated yesterday
to SportSwriterS.
Lambeau would not talk about
a replacement on the coaching
staff for Sammy Baugh, who
closed out his 16-year-career as
a Redskin Sunday with a brief
appearance at quarterback. Curly
said Baugh's player coach role
vas not a satisfactory arrange |
ment this year, but he doesn't
want to talk about a successor
until Sam has officially declared
what he wants to do.
Sam left no doubt Sunday,
talking to reporters after the
game. that he expects to take an
assistants berth at Hardin Sim
mons College to be near his Texas
home
Satisfied With Staff.
Lambeau said he was satisfied
with his present staff of Herman
Ball, Wayne Millner and Marvin
Bass. although their duties might
be different next season.
For example. Millner, an end
coach. might be used for scout
ing purposes. Ball, who has done
the scouting the last several years,
would serve as observer during
the games.
Herman can be a big help on
that telephone, spotting the other
teams weaknesses and calling
down suggestions for our quarter
back" Curly said. And Wayne
did a good job of scouting the
Eagles for us. I'll have to talk
to them. of course, but I think
that's one change I'd like to
make"
Lambeau said he didn't know
whether he would name a back
field coach to succeed Baugh or
an end coach to take Millner's
place il he decided to switch
Wayne to scouting duty. He in
dicated that it wasn't too impor-
tant. Baugh. by the way, will
scout the Cotton Bowl game for
the club and be on the lookout
for future Redskins in the South
west next year.
Wants Relief Man for LeBaron.
Lambeau repeated a previous
statement that he will go to the
National League draft meeting in
search of another quarterback to
help Eddie LeBaron. Another
offensive end is must" he said,
adding that the Redskins also
want defensive end, left wing
back, and another good running
back.
The coach said he thought K
Charlie Justice had a fair chance
to prove himself this year and J
Lambeau seemed undecided aboutIi
Choo Choo's future with the club.
Johnny Papit could do better, he {
said, and he didn't fully realize
Bones Taylor's pass-catching abil-
1ty until late in the season.
I'll still have to go along with
Don Hutson as the greatest all
around end I've seen in football"
said Lambeau. referring to his >

but Taylor's the best at breaking. n
away and getting into the clear. :
I didn't know how good he was" +
Losing Cox and Moss. e
The Redskins are slated to loseId
Halfback Billy Cox to the NavyIe
and Tackle Joe Moss to the Army .
before another football season d,
rolls around, but Curly hopes to .
have Halfback Hall Haynes back
from military service in Korea.
Curly said his biggest disap-
polntments of the season were the
Redskins defeats by Green Bay,
the Browns at Cleveland and
Eagles at Philadelphia. He had
predicted the team would win at
least half its games and would
have done even better if it had won
those three.
But I like the boys tone about
next year. he said. With a few
improvements I think we'll have :
