LOS ANGELES, Aug. L.
Johnny Papit's pro football stock
was up a couple of points today
after the former Virginia half
back showed a clean pair of
cleats to rivals yesterday in the
Redskins first speed tests of
the year.
Shifted from halfback to full
back this season, after two $3.50
seasons marred by injuries, Papit
displayed the Swiftness that was
one more reason why Coach
Curly Lambeau feels the ex-
Cavalier will be an important
cog in the teams offense.
Curly expected Charlie Hicks,
q newcomer at halfback and a
former dash man, to lead the
pack. He may be the fastest
man in camp, as Curly believed,
but Hicks was second to Papit
twice yesterday. and on the
third wind sprint finished be-
hind Andy Davis of George
Washington.
Papit was bothered by a game
leg in his first season with the
Redskins and failed to show the
form that made him one of Vir-
ginia'S great modern ball car
riers. Last season a back injury
In, pre- season game slowed him
down and kept him on the bench
most of the season. Now it looks
as if 1858 will be his year to
shine in pro ranks.

day celebrated his 39th birthday
as top man at the halfway mark
of Tam q Shanter'S "warmup"
gold rush, the $25, 900 All-Amer-

bracketed at 139 and three
strokes off the pace at 14O was
another quintet, including
Sammy Snead and the 1853 PGA
champion, Walter Burkemo.
The others knotted at 139 were
Pete Cooper, Lawson Little, Bob
Toski and Ted Kroll, who, like
Mangrum. is a Purple Heart
