Yancey Henry is not dead.
The well-known former WASH

is very much alive but he appeared
on television program last night
that purported to be a showing
of the trial of the girl accused of
killing him.
1t was all fiction on the program

The television station explained
that this program is designed to be
as realistic as possible. To that
end it uses the names of we'll
known persons whenever it is
practicable and when the persons
involved give their permission.
Some viewers who tuned in late
did not realize that it was fiction,
and The Star sports department
received a phone call this morning
asking for more details of Henry's
supposed death.
Henry himself was in the studio
to watch the program, and when
one of the actors taking the part
of a juror failed to show up, Henry
was drafted for the job. He was
not identified, but the television
camera several times panned
across the jury and showed Yancey
sitting there.
The jury. with Yaneey as a
member, found the girl not guilty.

Russians Recunt,

BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 6.-Nikolai Ro.

team at Helsinki and chief of the
Sports Committee in the u. S

Union and the United States hac
finished the Olympic games in 6

Romanov made his statement ir
an exclusive interview with
Pravda, the official organ of the
Communist Party, on his return tt
Moscow.
(The point system which Ro-
manov apparently used gives 7
points for first place with SD
3-2-1 for the next five places.
The Soviet press used this Sys-

system which gives 10 points for
first place and the same SD

On Monday Pravda had head

number of points.
Romanov did not give an ex-

at the end of the competition the
Soviet Union had 494 points to
400 for the United States, but he
declared more exact figures at the
present time raised the United

Eddie LeBoron Never Had Any Idea His Size
Might Keep Him From Making Good With Pros

That game was Pacific's last
defeat in l948. The next season
Eddie's team rolled up SIS points
to the opposition's Sc. 1t aver
aged more than 500 yards per
game under the venerable Alonzo
Stagg.
In the months following the
1949 season, LeBaron nearly had
his fill of football. He played in
the East-W West game late in De-
cember, and that night hoped a
plane for Florida and the Senior
Bowl. Then in March, Eddie and
Bob Celeri promoted a game at
Lodi, Calf, between seniors from
College of Pacific and California.
In May he played in his school,
annual Alumni-V Varsity game.
Started Again in July.
He started working out with the
Redskins in July, played in the
All-Star game in August, and with
the Redskins against the Rams
and Forty Miners later in the
month. He was assigned by the
Marines to Officer Candidates
School at Quantico in October,
and two weeks later he played his
first game there.
The 1850 All-Star game was one
of LeBaron's most satisfying
games, and he gives Charlie JUS
tice full credit for his role in
making it such.
ION the touchdown pass threw

posed to go straight down the
field. I was rushed and almost
trapped and when Charlie saw
that he cut back across the field.
Larry Coutre threw a key block
for me and I got free and was
just about to take off. Everybody
in the place was yelling but, above
it all, heard Charles shrill voice
its really shrill-yelling, over
here. Eddie, over here He was
all by himself and it was an easy

LeBaron calls Justice the best
cut-back runner he ever saw. He

hooters in camp and in the Red
skins-Rams exhibition two years
ago he had a 47-yard average for
a half-dozen kicks.
Parents Plan ID. C. Visit.
LeBaron's father. Eddie, ST., was
good basketball and football
player in his hey-day. according
to Junior. so the youngster comes
by his athletic ability honestly
enough. His father and mother
generally see their only child play
football in every game and they'll
be in Washington sometime this
fall to watch him perform in the
Redskins backfield.
There's no question, of course,
that Eddie will make good, de-
spite all the talk about his size.
Pound for pound he's as good as
any back in camp and he can give
some quite few pounds.
He's got the moxie, too. In
1916 he was stricken with appen-
dicitis a week before College of
Pacific played its opening game.
He rejoined the squad five weeks
later, worked out in a sweatsuit
two days and played three periods
against Arizona. The following
week the team lost to North
western, 26-13, but LeBaron threw
one touchdown pass and inter-
cepted another that resulted in
his teams second score.
Officials Missed Play.
The pass he best remembers,
however. was caught by Roy
Kirstin for a 65-yard gain against
San Jose State, only to have it
nullif1ed by the referee. LeBaron
concealed the ball so well, the
referee and the other officials were
digging under linemen trying to
find it when Eddie uncorked the
throw.
He said he was sorry but he
didn't see the pass" LeBaron re-
lated. 1--WE fumbled on the next
play and they recovered and
went 80 yards for a touchdown

Dutch Meyer BIames
Most Subsidization
Trouble on Coaches
BY the Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. g.
L. r. Dutch Meyer. football
coach of Texas Christian Univer-
sity, said today only the coach
could solve the athletic SubSidi-
Zation problem that has caused
a cry for reform among the COL
leges.
He placed the blame on the
coaches for most of the troubles,
but said he could see a general
improvement.
Meyer. whose TCU team was
Southwest Conference champion
last season, told newspapermen
that the major problem was out
side aide to the athletes. but that
this could be controlled if the
coach refused to take the ath-
letes who received more than the
legal limit as the result of I'M
timetable aid from the
alumni.
Meyer is lecturing at the Texas
coaching school on his spread
formation and coaching a high
school squad that will appear in
an all-star game Friday night.
Rejected Lavish Plan.
Some 10 years ago a dozen
wealthy and influential men got
together an decided they would
furnish the money to entice the
top athletes to Texas Christian
by meeting anything that might
be promised by another school,"
Meyer related. 81 told them I
would have nothing to do with
it and that if they wanted me to
quit coaching they could inaug-
urate their plan. I convinced
them that this was the correct
way to look at athletic subsidiza-
ton"
The coach referred to the has-
ketban scandal that has rocked
the college world and said he did
not consider those offering brides
to players to shave the points
were doing any more than a coach
who offered boy more than legal
subSidization called for in order
&c get him for his school. 1T is
a poor example to set for the
boy" he declared. cts nothing
but bribe."
Says Trend Is Spreading.
Meyer said he was positive that
the coaches in the Southwest Con-
ference were discouraging outside
aid to the athletes. and his OBJ
servation was that the trend was
spreading over the Nation.
College athletics will reach a
safe and sane plane when the COL
legeS administer all athletic aid
and refuse to permit alumni to
have any hand in it, Meyer said.

By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Tt
never occurred to little Eddie Le-
Baron that he might not be big
enough or clever enough to play
pro football until the experts
started wondering about it out
loud. And apparently it isn't going
to worry him at this late date.
The apple-cheeked youngster
from College of Pacific who was
responsible for two touchdowns
against Northwestern University
in 1916 when he was only 16, is
being nodded into an honest-to-
goodness pro here at the Redskins
training camp. Backfield Coach
Jerry Neri wants Eddie to do the
things he did we'll in college a little
better as a pro and that means
changing LeBaron's style slightly.
In college and at Quantico, where
he played for the Marines in 1850,
the half-pint lieutenant actually
fed the ball to halfback in plain
view of everybody, then took it
away and handed it to some one
else. The Redskins strategistS feel
this is too risky. They want him to
hold the ball close to his body
and fake the handoff with an
open hand.
Pitchout Style Changed.
In college Eddie used two hands
to throw pitchouts. The Redskins
are coaching him to toss them with
one hand for the sake of accuracy.
The coaches are working on
Eddie's footwork, too, and making
some minor adjustments but, no
pun intended, the little fellow
with the close-cropped hair is
taking all of it in stride.
One of the few things un-
changed in LeBaron's football rep
ertoire is his punting. That he
learned under the patient coach
ing of his uncle, Jack Sims, who
played football for Slip Madi-
CARAT at st. Mary's in 1887. Eddie
