LOS ANGELES. Aug. 12.-The
Redskins took a sudden turn for
the better today.
A heavy dose of scrimmage,
administered late yesterday aft
ernoon, apparently routed a Sc
riouS siege OF offensive anemia
that threatened to keep the pa
tients on their backs all season.
The usually pesSimistic DR..
Curly Lambeau agreed that the
Redskins seemed well on the
road to recovery.
AS a precaution, however. the
good doctor plans another scrim-
mage tomorrow night to confirm
his prognosis.
In laymen's language you
might say the offense blud-
geoned a stubborn defense into
submission. = A bulletin issued
by Lambeau stated:
"We looked better-nuch bet
ter. You can tell Steve Owen
(New York Giants> and Paul
Brown Cleveland Browns) we
won't be pushovers this year."
Some Problems Remain.
Lambeau said traces of the
recent trouble remained, such as
failure to follow the ball and
react as a team on intercepted
passes. Too many spectators
in. uniform-watched the lone
interceptor try to fight his way
clear after latching onto a stray
enemy pass.
"And the timing on passes and
our decoying for them was bad.
too" Lambeau added.
But these were mere trifles.
The running and blocking was
of big-league quality for a
change, and it was hard to sin
gle out a player for chief credit.
But the two who had the edge
were Fullback Chuck Drazeno-
vich and Rookie Halfback Sam
Baker. They were dynamite.

couple more. a la Steve Bagarus.
The rookie knocked off yardage
and defensive men together every
time he took the ball, and def
nitely clinched his position on
the squad.
The climax of his performance
was a touchdown smash over
tackle against a nine-man line.
Drazenovich cracked the line
every time he carried, and took
everything with him most of the
time. The big Penn Stater's
work made Lambeau intensity
his search for a line-backer to
replace him on defense.
Choo Choo Justice, Leon
Heath, Johnny Papit and Paul
Barry also got into the act. In
an ordinary scrimmage their
work would have been headline
material. Justice ripped off a
26-yard run on one screen pass
and Papit went 20 on a quick
opener. Heath slammed through
tackle for a 20-yard advance,
and Barry, despite an ailing leg,
went Is on a screen. These were
the high spots of the ground
game.
In the air little Eddie LeBaron,
who has fumbled badly in prac-
tice, gave the defense fits with
his taking. Eddie heaved S.
yard pass at Bones Taylor, who
was tripped by Gilmer as he
reached for it and a certain six
pointer. Eddie later pitched a
short touchdown pass to Justice
in the end zone after drawing
the defense off balance with a
fake run.
Scarbath Faces Battle.
The little generals perform
ance made it plain that Jack
Scarbath will have a battle on
his hands for the No. quarter
back role when he arrives here
from the College All-Stars' camp
later this week.
In the line Gene Brito was
standout at one end, while Dave
Suminski frightened his grip on
a starting berth at guard.
Lambeau scrambled the line
to make it a fairly even match,
but the men he has singled out
for praise before-Knox Ramsey
for one-seemed to do the most
damage.
1t was the squads hardest
workout to date. with wind
sprints topping off the hour
long scrimmage. More hard
work. is scheduled today, with
tomorrow nights scrimmage
completing the major part of
the Redskins preparations for

Rams.

three other Washington players ever won
the hitting crown-Ed Delahanty, Goose
Goslin and Buddy Myer-and none did 1t a
second time.
Goslin 1929 and Myer (1935) batted
left-handed, like Vernon. The only right
handed hitter was Delahanty, who may
have been the best of the foursome. No
youngSter will remember Delahanty be-
cause it was so years ago that he diSap-
peared. Later his body, horribly mangled,
was discovered in the churning waters of
the Canadian Niagara Falls.
