away lot of valuable time with
the game.
Now, the thing that licked us
was a gimmick that Raymer dug
out of a moldy old volume of
Hoyle called the "Blackwood Con-
vention of Bidding" When she
broke this out on us, it sounded
so imposing that Lou and I simply
wilted and mentally conceded de-
feat. 1t was pure psychological
warfare on the part of Raymer.
This fellow Blackwood seems to
have worked out very. neat sys-
tenn of cheating whereby, when the
bidding starts, you tip your part
ner off on what you have in your
hand with complicated code sys-
tenn which is something that is
highly illegal in certain poker
games that we have participated
in. Anyhow, this system is a
masterpiece of beating around the
bush. 1t seems that when Raymer
wanted the Red Head to know thai
she had a. fistfuf of spades. she
would shout, "three hearts" which
seemed to us to be a roundabout
way of getting the information
across the table.
All of which led Lou to remark
that ''it is like going to the grocery
store and asking for a quart of
milk when what you really want
is dozen eggs"
Anyhow, we absorbed a drub-
bing and when l arrived at the

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-There is
a strong feeling in this football
mecca that the College All-Stars,
denied a victory since 1850. are
ready and able to snare one from
the Los Angeles Rams Friday
night.
The big show in Soldier Field
will be seen or heard by millions
on television and radio and an
estimated 10000 will attend.
The squad of so stalwarts who
a year ago made collegiate foot
ball headlines has been rolled into
a ponderous. terrifying T-forma-
ton machine by Head Coach
Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech and
his staff.
It seems to have patches of
everything in the way of gridiron
material with the exception Of a
brace of break away runners.
Modzelewski a Factor.
It has such passers as Bill Wade
of Vanderbilt. Babe Parilli of
Kentucky and Darrell Crawford of
Georgia Tech; such receivers as
Ends Bill Howton of Rice. Bill
McColl of Stanford, Bob Carey
of Michigan State and Pete Brew
lSter of Purdue, not to- mention
a. fleet of halfback targetmen.
1t has such torpedo like line
smashers as Ed mighty MOI
Modzelewski of Maryland, Bill
Reichardt of Iowa and Ollie Mat
son. the Olympic quatermiler from
San Francisco.
But in some Of the All-Stars'
most precious victories over the
National Football League cham
pions in the past it has been
breakaway, elusive runners who
have broken up the games.
Probably the nearest approach
to such a weapon is Johnny Kar-
ras of Illinois. a fast, deceptive
ball-carrier who also is a danger
GUS pass-catcher.
There are others who may
qualify in the breakaway bracket
but not to the spectacular extent
of such former stars as Elroy

Marshall Tries
-Four Clubs for
Critical Talent,

Unless Blocking Is
Better, Coach Says
By Lewis F. Atchison
Sfor Stuff CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 13.-Al.
though the Redskins already hav,
swapped three of next years draft
choices for immediate help. they
are prepared to give up another
it was learned today, to get 6
couple of much needed guards.
George Marshall. president ot
the club, who arrived here Mon
day, made telephone calls to at
least four rival club owners yes
terday and he was ready to talk
turkey. Marshall is willing tc
throw in a halfback if he can get
the right kind of deal. At least
two clubs are believed to be in
terested, one being the New York
Giants.
Marshall acted after Head
Coach Dick Todd bluntly laid his
cards on the table. The Redskins
Todd told the boss. aren't going
anywhere this year, if they don't
get a couple Of good, blocking
guards to help clear a path fol-
the ball carrier. With them, Todd
believes the team can better last
years ST record, although il
hardly shapes up as a title con-
tender.
Strengthened at Center.
The addition of Tony Momsen
from Pittsburgh and Dick Wood
ard, plus AL Demao's arrival, has
strengthened the center position
satisfactorily, in Todd's opinion
But the Redskins still need
guards.
Todd's point was illustrated yes
terday when he sent the team
through it's final intra-squad
scrimmage before Sundays opener
against the Forty-Niners at San
Francisco. With few exceptions
the ground attack was unsuccess-
full, largely because of poor block
ing. Charlie Justice was trapped
far behind the line a couple OF
times when Lou Karras, Paul
| Lipscomb & Co. swept through
the interference" Choo Choo
wsn't the only back to be
trapped.
Neil Ferris picked up a few
yards on several plays, but the
biggest surprise was the ball
carrying of Rookie Sam Venuto,
who bulled through a broken field
for a 20-yard advance and circled
end for another good gain.
Venuto used mostly on defense
heretofore, had been unnoticed
as a prospect for the offense.
Passers Have Trouble.
Another heartening note, a
seemingly improved pass defense,
was tempered by the thought that
the passing might have been be-
low par. Both Eddie LeBaron and
Harry Gilmer had trouble con-
Meeting and most completions
were good for only small gains
with the defensive backs glued to
receivers.
The only exception was a
touchdown throw from LeBaron
to Ben Proctor, who slipped be-
hind Rookie Johnny Williams.
Defense is supposed to be John
ny's strong suit. Jack Dwyer, Joe
Swami, an end trying out as a
defensive back, and even Harry
|Dowda, who had trouble knocking
down passes on occasion last year,
stood out in the anti-aerial unit.
The coaches discovered that
LeBaron is as cool as social snub
under fire, both in passing and
kicking. His practice puntnig isn't
