LOS ANGELES, July 31.-Vet-
erans and rockies resumed their
battle for Redskins jobs today
after dividing honors yesterday
In the first rough work of train
ing camp.
The honor roll included Don
Boil, 279-pound rookie lineman
from Nebraska: Knox Ramsey,
veteran guard: Johnny Papit,
veteran back, and Charlie Hicks,
an eleventh-hour rookie addi-
ton in the backfield.
Boll's work as defensive mid
dleman featured a line scrim-
mage. The players didn't go all
out, but they teed off on the big
Nebraskan a couple of times
and bounced off like bee-bee
shots on an elephant. He swayed
and rocked like an oak in a
windstorm, but they didn't take
him down.
Enjoys Rough Stuff.
Ramsey, hitting fast and true,
landed on his face once when
Boil, a former Quantico Marine,
deftly sidestepped and pulled
him forward. The biggest salvo
delivered against the husky
rookie was a two-man job by
Harry Ulinski and John Yona-
kor, two big men themselves.
They caught Boil from the side
and jolted him Off balance, but
Don recovered quickly and
fought back. Looked like he en-
joyed it. too!
Such other rockies as Lynn
Lynch, Bill Link, Dave Suminski
and Jim Dublinski did we'll
enough on their first try. but
Boll's size gave him a decided
advantage and he made the most
Of it.
Papit. ex-Virginia halfback

looked surprisingly good
in linebacker's role in a pass
defense drill. Ditto for Hicks,
who was all over the field, knock
ing down passes. The quarter
backs tried to loosen 'em up with
a mixture of long and short
throws, but Papit was Johnny on
the spot and Hicks speed en-
abled him to recover when pulled
out of position.
Williams Still HoIdOut.
Coach Curly Lambeau expect
ed to have another talk today
with Johnny Williams. holdout
halfback and the teams best kick
returner. But Hicks showing in
the two days he's been in camp
may make the coach a little
lukewarm toward Johnny. If
the Redskins had both, they
would have a double-barrelled
threat on runbacks.
Hicks also got off a punt in
kicking practice that scared at
least 10 yards on the fly. 1t
resembled the kind Indian Jack
Jacobs used to boot in practice
when he was with the Redskins.
Hicks sends them IS and so
yards consistently.
NOTES Charlie Justice has
sold 15-minute weekly radio
program to a North Carolina
chain Of stations. The only
stipulation is that he must make
the team. :. Trainer Joe Kuczo
got a shock when Halfback Paul
Barry came to him for some
thing for heartburn. It
seems that Paul swallowed a
chew of tobacco. Al Dorow's
passing seems trifle sharper
than that of Eddie LeBaron and
Harry Gilmer, and he handles
the ball well, too.
End Jerry Hennessey is an
other player who spends the Off
season playing extra parts in the
movies. It beats playing foot
ball, when you're working.
Madison Nutter, rookie center
from VPI, turned down a chance
to go to Maryland, Kentucky
and West Virginia. Walt
AShcraft, rookie tackle, was
moved to end yesterday. The
Southern California alumnus
has a nice pair of hands for
catching passes but is hardly
fast enough for a wing position.
