bring him up to his last years

Curly said. Il put aside three
nights a week just for that. and
I think we'll come up with some
thing"
Lambeau wouldn't say whether
he intended to draft linemen or
backs first. because that would
tip his hand to opposing teams,
who might take player wanted
by Washington. It was suggested
that it might be better to select
players the club was sure to get.
Sure of His Choice.
Don't worry about that" Curly
said. It guarantee we'll get our
first five choices. I'm very tho
rough about this and I'll only
pick players I know we can get. .
It was pointed out that the
Redskins got only three of their
first 10 choices last year, but Curly
again assured his listeners the
club would obtain the players it
wanted.
He gets newspapers from vari-
Gus sections of the country carry
ing complete stories on football
games in those areas and from
these, with the aid of on-the-SceneI
scouting reports. decides how toI
draft, Curly said. He hears from
numerous men who played for
him at Green Bay, he said, and
frequently gets an unheard of big
Lacquer through their efforts.
Lambeau also plans to do some
personal scouting, leaving after
the Redskins final game with the
Eagles on December IA for the
Poinsettia Bowl game at San Diego
the following Saturday.
The Rose Bowl game is the
following Wednesday and I'll take
that in and then come back to

Wants Men for Every Job.
Curly said he regarded the draft
as the most important business
of any club, which was not ex-
actly news. The thought upper
most in most Washington fans
minds this year. however, is will
the club select the right men and
not go for name" players who
fail to deliver.
Refusing to name his No. Il
choice for reasons already men,

the Redskins needed strengthen

accordingly.
""We'll draft for all % positions, u
he said.
Meanwhile, the Redskins start
getting ready in earnest for Sun
days game with the Giants at
New York. Lambeau fears that
the Giants humiliation by Pitts

the Redskins expense. He fig

The 670 was the second extraor-

goes on a scoring binge, such as a

But the highlight of her career
came in 1914 when she won the
United States Classic with a 10
game score of 1922. Only one
other woman in the history of the
tournament has beaten 1900. The
great Ida Simmons Slack set the
record in 1912 with 1852.
Miss Wilson has been ranked

was fourth twice, third once,

How come her game reached a
