asm to a point where the veteran
Quarterback spends his spare time
after dinner practicing footwork,
it must be rated as a major vic
tory. He's got the old gent guess
ing what's coming next.
Work Ahead for Papit, Heath.
Todd may be lucky, too, in hav-
ing a serious and talented young
ster like Johnny Papit ready to
step into Bill Dudley's shoes, and
a Woodworking fullback like Leon
Heath ready for a shot at Rob
Goodies vacant post. On the
strength of their college, records
and their work with the Redskins
last year, both could be mighty
valuable.
Art Gueppe, Papit's coach at
Virginia, claims he never saw a
boy so wrapped up in football and
intent on making good. Riley
Smith, one-time Redskins quarter
back, is only one of several sea-
soned football men who gave
Heath a vote of confidence. The
two played second fiddle last year.
but in the months ahead lack OF
work will be no excuse.
Todd must find some good line
hackers capable of stopping run
ming plays and he hopes that Jack
Dwyer, Neil Ferris & Co. improve
on pass defense. The situation
here seems better than in the line.
At a qiuck glance, you can't go
overheard on the linemen.
Centers Are Scarce.
There don't seem to be any boys
at center who measures up to XII
Aldrich and the mere fact that the
coaches are considering shifting
John Yonakor, veteran end, to
that position for trial, indicates
the lack of strength. But Yonakor
also may be tried at tackle, where
help is needed.
Some of the guards look too
slow and dumpy and the tackles
too tall and unco-ordinated. At
times an observer wonders if even
the best coach and plenty of work
can make first rate pros out of
them.
Todd must wonder, too. But it's
all he has and he'll have to make
the best Of it. The picture, be-
ginning the first full week in
camp, isn't bright. and there's
reason to believe it may get dark
er. The next several weeks here
should be interesting to anyone
on the sideline. AS for Todd, well,
he'll try to make the best of it.

HELSINKI. July 26. These
Firms are fabulous. The way they
stage and handle these mammoth
Olympic Games is a show as
spectacular and amazing as the
Games themselves.
Nearly 5000 athletes are COM
peting in more than 100 events
before more than 100000 specta-
tors in a dozen scattered places
and it all moves like a dozen
Synchronized clocks.
Just sit in the Olympic Sta
dium about 5 o'clock when the
days track and field program is
reaching it's climax. On the red
clay track, sprinters are running
off trial heats in waves like
charging columns. Right beside
the track. broad jumpers are in
action.
At the far end of the field, the
strong men are heaving the shot.
Pole Vaulters soar skyward at the
opposite end of the field.

Everything Under Control.
It's harder to follow than a

Every minute it seems the whole
dizzy whirl is going to explode in
chaos. But it never does. These
fabulous Firms have everything
under complete control.
How do they do it?

LOS ANGELES, July 26.-The
Redskins plunge into their first
full week of training tomorrow
with everything indicating a long,
hard autumn for Coach Dick Todd
and his aides.
On the surface it appears that
the seventh coach to try his luck
with the Washington pro foot
ballers since their transfer from
Boston 16 years ago is in an
awkward position to grab the
brass ring.
The Redskins need a major re-
building job, but the overall quality
of rockies here doesn't seem good
enough to do the work. Todd must
replace the three men in the
middle of his 1851 offensive line
as we'll as two key backs. It's
no easy task-even with grade-A
material.
Chet Ostrowski, Notre Dame end
last season and the Redskins 10th
draft choice, today notified club
officials he has decided to pass up
"a pro career, at least for the
time being. Ostrowski said he
though his induction into military
service was so imminent it would
be a waste of time for him to re-
port to training camp.
The Redskins lost another
player when Bob Hendren, vet
eran tackle, visited the teams Oc-
cidental College training camp to
inform Todd he had decided to
give up football to keep a po-
sition with a Los Angeles stone
company.
Billy Cox, returning halfback
who is completing a Navy reserve
officer training course at nearby
base, is spending a week end here
working out with the team. Cox
won't be able to join the Redskins
until August 10, but the former
Duke ace hopes to spend week end
leaves practicing with the team.
Todd isn't conceding defeat,
naturally. at this time in his ef-
forts to rebuild the club. He
hopes to swing few deals before
the season opens to make the
squad more formidable. It's too
early to assay accurately the value
of the talent at hand, but there
don't seem to be any Wee Willie
Wilkins, Andy Farkases or Dick
Farmars running around.
Will to Win Necessary.
Todd takes a philosophical view
of the situation. IF I get all
the football they have in them
out of them" he said, IN be
doing my job. How we'll do
after that depends on their will
to win. They've got to have the
right spirit and you can't win
without it,"
The Redskins are beginning
With announcer practlcaHy DfanQ
new coaching staff. Ordinarily,
this would be a handicap, but
Todd apparently latched on to a
couple of good men when he got
Marvin Bass from William and
Mary as line coach and Jerry
-Neri from Loyola of Los Angeles
to handle the backfield. Bass be-
longs to that breed of coaches
who believe there is no substitute
for hard work. His linemen will
come home in excellent physical
condition, barring injuries, or they
won't come home.
Neri acts like he never heard
of Sammy Baugh, Charlie Justice
and the rest of the Redskins
well-publicized backs. They're just
names to him, pupils to be taught
the niceties of backfield play. But
when he arouses Baugh's enthusi-

repair the running track, smooth
the jumping pits and reset the
stage for the next event. Hurdles
appear and disappear like magic.
They think of every little touch.
Like this one. Jumpers are pro-
vided little colored balls set on
pins like tees to stick in the ground
for marking their take-of points.
So many things may be hap
pening SO fast in the stadium that
one man cannot follow them-but
that's not the Firms fault. They
put up the results of every effort
When man puts the shot, his
number is posted on a big revolv-
ing Signboard in midfield, with his
distance shown under his number
When he jumps, the signboard
shows his number, the height, and
whether it's his first, second OF
third try.
Nothing Is Overlooked.
When an event is completed, the
results are shown on a huge elec-
trio Scoreboard which cost $780,
|O00-bnt everybody agrees it is
worth every penny of it.
In bright electric lights, it shows
the name of the event in three
languages. the names, nationalities
and records of the first seven
placers. These names go up with
in few minutes after the event.
The whole thing is operated by
one man using a typewriter right
beside the finish line.
If the race is close, they pro-
duce a photo of the finish in two
minutes.
If a reporter happens to miss
anything that goes up on the
scoreboard he still is not lost. 1t
won't be long before a boy comes
around with a mimeographed sheet
of the results he missed.
This detailed perfection is not
confined to the big stadium. At
the rowing races mimeographed
results are produced in less than
a minute after the rankings are
posted. Even the gyrations of the
gymnasts are reduced rapidly to
points on paper.
Everybody Helps.
Zero Petaejaeniemi, the Olym-
pic press chief who is largely re-
sponsible for this information
efficiency. credits the smooth
of the Games to "a lot of
hard work and advance planning
by a lot of people"
Prominent businessmen, experts
in all fields, joined athletic officials
in the planning.
But, as always, it's the little guy
who makes it work-the ordinary
Finn who loves sports, is proud to-
entertain the Olympics and who
will donate his own time and labor
to make them a success.

Sports-L Loving Firms Lay Aside Regular Jobs
To Conduct OIympics With Detailed Perfection

People have to work hard for a

But Firms love sports. Finland
has waited a long time to play
host to the Olympics and every
Finn takes personal interest in
seeing that the games are sue
cess.
OF the 5000 Firms working on
the Olympic Games, more than
half are working without pay.
Hundreds of others have laid
aside better-paying jobs to help
out at low salaries. For example:
An advertising executive volun-
teerS not only his own car, but
himself as driver to help meet the
transportation demand. Som {
firms closed temporarily to free
their employees for Olympic serv-
ice.
Three thousand school children
including many Boy and Cir
ScoutS-SWarm around every event
to serve as messengers or errano
runners. Their only pay: The
snappy little uniforms with which
the Olympic Committee provided
them.
In every contest, there's at least
one official to watch every con-
testant. "They know all the rules,
too." according to Brutus Hamil-
ton, United States track coach.
Before every race, IL to 20 men
in brown suits, green ties and gray
hats march single file to the finish
line. They mount stepladderS,
half on each side of the track.
Two Check Each Runner.
In sprints. there are two to
watch each runner and pick the
order of finish. After the race,
they march solemnly out again.

Doubles Victory Puts

Talbert of New York and Gardner
Mulloy of Miami, Fla. today steer
ed the United States into the Sec
ond round of 1852 Davis Cup ten
mis- competition.
Talbert and Mulloy, looking like

doubles team, knocked Japan out
of the running with a 60, 3-6.

maru and Fumiteru Nakano.
1t gave the United States 3
to 0 lead over the Japanese and
the right to meet Cuba next week
lat Havana in the second round.
regardless of what happens in to-
morrow's final two singles matches.
Japan's none too robust hopes
were crushed early when Kuma-
maru suffered an ankle injury in
the second set. BY the time the
match was over he could do little
or no running or pivoting and his
injury left too much of burden
for Nakano to carry even though
the Americans were unimpresSive.
Tapes Jap's Ankle.
A physician at the Cincinnati
tennis club taped Kumamaru'S
ankle during the intermission
after the third set and said the
japanese star had irirtated the
Achilles tendon.
Kumamaru was scheduled to
meet Vic SeixaS of Philadelphia in
one OF tomorroW'S singles but his
place will be taken by Nakano.
Itsushi Miyagi will tangle with
Art Larsen Of San Leandro, Calf.
SeiXaS and Larsen won yesterdays
singles affairs.
Until Kumamaru'S injury, the
japanese were threatening to make
a battle of it with the heavily
IAdNOl Gu faIllCIICdIlS.
Talbert and Mulloy, combining
Mulloy'S power and Talberts deft
angling shots, reeled off the first
four games of the opening with
the loss of only seven points.
| Kumamaru and Nakano began
meeting them at the net, however,
and won two games before the
Americans finished out the set.
Control BOthers Mulloy.
Mulloy began having trouble
controlling his booming shots in
the second set and he and Tall
bert were both afflicted with a
rash of double faults as Kuma-
maru and Nakano teamed up with
beautiful work around the nets.
They twice broke Talbert's Serv-
ice in winning the set.
1t was near the end of the
second set that Kumamaru suf-
fered his ankle injury. Even so.
they didn't fade in the third set
until the Americans broke 2-to-2
deadlock in the fifth game.
They broke Talbert's service
again in the seventh game and
the eighth game went to deuce
five times before the Americans
won it.
i With Kumamaru unable to run
and his service also being affected,
the Americans ran off the first
{. four games in the final set in jig
) time. The Japanese made one
more desperate effort. United
States errors, coupled with bril-
:. liant all-court work by Nakano
gave the japanese the fifth game
after it had gone to deuce five
: times.
The seventh game went to deuce
-four times before the Japanese
!, won it. The long struggles had
taken their toll, however, and two
blazing service aces by Talbert
helped close out the match.

Jimmy Clark. the stocky former

pace with an even par SO for his
first nine today but met stiff
challenge by coming home in 33.
Clark's 199 total, assembled on
a 68, an Elmwood course record
81 and today's SO. was three

Turnesa, a 38-year-old veteran
fired his second straight 66 for
a 203 total as he picked up three
strokes on Clark. Barber broke
away from a 1856 figure for a 81
to tie Turnesa for third place.
Clark was coasting at a two
under-par pace until he, racked
up a big 2 on the par seventh
hole after pushing his second shot
out of bounds. Jimmy pared the
next two holes for his SO and
then rallied for three straight
brides before he slipped two over
par with a 5 on the 162-yard 18th
hole where he missed the green
with his tee shot and three
putted.
Careless" Clark Says.
II got a little mad and a little
careless" Jimmy said. But he
