DALLAS. Sept. 30.-Chalmers
Woodard, the man who broke
into big time football with a
postage stamp. makes his start
as coach of Southern Methodist
University Saturday.
It's one of the greatest leaps
in collegiate sports history-from
tiny Mcpherson College 1882
Students) to Southern Methodist
(6,06D and playing, in his first
game, a school that has as many
students as McPherson's nine op-
ponents combined.
Georgia Tech, unbeaten power
of the South for two years. is
the initial stop for Woodard in
one of the toughest schedules in
the country.
Were taking 40 men to At
lanta to win," said the chubby
little man, unawed by his greatly
expanded horizon.
He admits it would be quite a
feat apd that nobody expects the
Mustangs to win-and he cer-
tainly hopes no one gets his
hopes up high. But Woodland
thinks his team will play this
one to the hilt.
Woodard got the job of coach
at SMU by writing a letter after
he read in a Kansas paper last
winter that H. N. Russell had
quit after three seasons. Matty
Bell. Southern Methodist athletic
director, recalled Woodard from
a football forum he attended in
Lawrence, Kans., in the summer
of 1852. The young coach had
impressed him with his ideas.
Bell recommended him and
the athletic council hired him
probably to the surprise of
Woodard as much as most every
body else.
Woodland has had five weeks
to get ready for his leap into the
big time. He says it's actually
too long-it's hard to keep the
players interest up when they
open the season three weeks
after the others. And he knows
little about Georgia Tech except
that it has a lot of top football
players. Twice SMU secuted the
Yellow Jackets this season but
both times the game was in the
rain and Georgia Tech could

Tebbetfs' First Task
As RedIeg Manager
Is 10 Find Pitchers
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-George
(Birdie) Tebbetts went shopping
today for right-handed pitchers
as the new manager of the Gin
cinnati Redlegs.
TebbettS,. who piloted Indi-
apoliS to fourth place in the
American Association this season
after 1872 years of major league
catching, was signed to a two
year contract late yesterday as
the successor to the recently
fired Rogers Hornsby.
IT don't know much about the
Cincinnati players" said Teb-
belts. After all spent my days
playing in the American League"
But General Manager Gabe
Paul quickly advised his new
field boss of the clubs need for
pitchers-particularly those that
throw right-handed. So Birdie
joined Paul in sounding out sew
eral club owners here for the
World Series.
Silent on Trading.
Paul said he already had
talked to several clubs, but that
nothing was denite. He also de-
clined to say whether he was
willing to trade off some of the
RedlegS or pay cash.
Tebbetts' salary for his first
major league managerial job
was not announced. But Paul
said he was the only one of the
Redlegs talked to about the posi-
tion although there were many
applicants. Hornsby was report
ed to have drawn about $4,000 a
year.
Birdie was hired because he
had a good program at India
napolis and uses good common
sense"
Paul disclosed that Buzz Boyle,
a Cincinnati scout, observed Teb-
belts managing during the sea-
son and in the American Associ-
alton playoffs and recommended
that he be hired.
Greenberg Gives Permission.
But it wasn't until yesterday
that Paul actually talked with
Tebbetts. That was after he re-
Ceived permission rom Hank
Greenberg, Cleveland general
manager. indianapolis is
Cleveland farm club.
Hank said he didn't want me
to leave but he gave me his
blessing" Tebbetts said. Then
Mr.. Paul and I got together
quickly and that was it. Nat
urally, I'm happy about it,"
TebbettS, Cincinnati's 34th
manager since the club was Or
ganized in 1876, broke into ma
jor league baseball with the
Tigers in 1886. He spent three
years in the service during the
last World War and was traded
to the Red Sox for Catcher Har-
old Wagner May 20, 1947. The
Red SoX sold him to Cleveland
December 13, 1850. He was used
chiefly as a reserve catcher by
the Indians. Birdie is AZ. His
home is in Nashua, N. H, where
he is in the insurance business
during the off season.

CIV Steps Up Drills
After Getting Scouts
Report on WoIfpack

Coach Bo Sherman of George
Washington us football team
has added incentive to work on
his defenses this week after
studying his scouting report on
North Carolina State, the Colo
mails opponent for their first
home game Saturday afternoon
at Alexandria.
Jim Fuela, the CIV line coach,
and Cecil Perkins, end coach.
gave the Wolfpack a good sur
vey when it played North Caro-
lima last week. The Tar Heels
won as expected, 29-7. and ac-
cording to the Fuela-Perkins re-
port, it was North Cardinals S
manpower that wore down the
Wolfpack in the second half.
CIV doesn't have that kind of
reserve strength, and the Co
lonials are looking for a close
game.
A bright new star for State is
Sophomore Eddie West, an Alex
andria boy who played for
Mount Vernon High School. Ac-
cording to Fuela, he's the answer
to the quarterbacking problem
at State and may be one of the
stars of the new Atlantic Coast
Conference.
His passing has improved and
his taking and running are SUI
perb. State uses the split-T,
and West particularly is good
as runner on the option play.
He is 6-foot-3, weighs 1913
pounds, and is hard to bring
down.
Another department where the
Wolfpack shines is at fullback,
handled by Don Langston. the
teams leading ground gamer
last year. He's 195-pounder
from Lexington. KY, and rated
only behind Chet Hanulak of
Maryland for total ground yard
age in the Southern Conference
last year.
Hes the best I've seen in a
long time" is the way Fuela de-
scribes him.
Although mostly an offensive
star last year. Langston has
taken nicely to his defensive
assignments as either linebacker
or halfback. His coach, Horace
Hendrickson. says. Il wouldn't
trade him for any other man
at his position in the Atlantic
Coast Conference"
Among the other Wolfpack
standouts who will operate
against the Colonials at Alex
andria Saturday are Tackle Ken
Urgovitch. 210-pounder, and
Chris Frauenhofer, senior half
back.

You Be
Quarterback
y Y X
ANSWER

4. Field goal. Make it and
you're down 14-9. But football is
a free scoring game. If you get
the touchdown and extra point,
you might tie the game later at
1920, Or safety could put you
in the lead. Better go for the
big points.
3. Fake buck and pass. Better
than the straight pass. But you
don't have enough room to
maneuver with your receivers.
2. Quick opener. A lot of teams
use this one. 1t doesn't take
much to make that yard if things
work. In fact. the first three
choices on this one are close.
But the fact that two plays over
guard have failed make this
number two.
l. OFF tackle slant. With that
eight-man line, the defensive
ends are playing conservatively.
You have your best power off
tackle, you have a good field
position for it. and even though
it's failed once. it gets the nod.

Redskins
Continued From Page C-1D

scout for the Redskins, thinks
the better team lost Sunday
when the Eagles bowed to San
Francisco in the league opener
for both.
Not as good as the Eagles
of the Steve Van Buren-Bosh
Pritchard-Joe Muha era, but still
loaded with dynamite, is the way
Ball sizes up the Eagles.
II thought they pittled the
game away" Herman said. "They
looked like the Redskins in that
exhibition game with the Colts,
but they won't be that way
against us. Jim Trimble has a
sood, solid team and it will be
another upset if we beat them"
Fumbles Led to Scores.
Skippy Giancanelli, rookie
halfback, fumbled punt on
Philadelphia's 24-yard line to
set up San Francisco's first
touchdown. Another tumble, 18
seconds before the half, gave
Gordie Soltau enough time to
kick 39-yard insurance" field
goal that gave the Forty Miners
a 17-7 half time lead.
The Eagles matched touch
downs with their hosts in the
last two periods, but that but
ter-flngered first half was too
much Of a handicap.
Ball was impressed by Adrian
Burk'S quarterbacking and pass
ing, and by the receiving of
Pete Pihos and Bob Walston.
The losers completed 18 of 81
passes for I'll yards, and Ball
thought Pihos' speed and decep-
tion was the best he has seen in
some time. He'll be hard to
guard Friday night.
The addition of winged footed
Jerry Williams from the Rams
also figures to help the Eagles.

Clemson, S. c., is one of the
toughest spots in the country to
take a football team. Maryland's
Jim Tatum was saying yester-
day. speaking of the town of
1000 where his Terps meet the
Tigers Saturday afternoon.
This game will be the big
event of the year for all those
folks for miles around" Jim
told his press luncheon yester-
day.
"Those folks will live football
all week, and they'll be whoop-
ing and hollering and everybody
will be excited and the Glenn
son players are bound to get that
spirit
Il know what they're dong
down there right now." Tatum
said Every time one of those
players walks down the street
the folks ask him about the
Boston College game last week,
or how the team will do against
Maryland. They'll be up by
Saturday"
Few RO0ters Expected.
Because of the distance (527
niles and the comparative in
accessibility of Clemson, Mary
land will have few rooters there.
IF one of our players went
100 yards for a touchdown it
would be like a tomb" Tatum
said.
But the Clemson people will
pack the ancient horseshoe sta
dium and they'll make racket
for every yard gained. It's easier
to play when the crowd is with
you. Tatum reminded the sports
writer's.
In Warren Giese's scouting
report, he reminded all that
Clemson has played TWO games
and nobody has pushed its line
back for touchdown. Pres
byterian scored on a wide pitch
out and long run, Boston College
on a punt return and when
Clemson fumbled on its own q
yard line.
Clemson Has Star End.
One of the big reasons nobody
IS pushing Clemson back is
Dreher Gaskin. He's feet 4
and weighs 225 and ne's all man.
Coach Rex Enright of South
Carolina. who sends scout to
every Clemson game, says Gaskin
is the best end in the South

Vote Of Confidence
For Ronzani Replies
To Custer Rumors
BY the Associated Press

MILWAUKEE,. Sept. 3O-Gene
Ronzani, it appeared today, will
remain as head football coach of
the Green Bay Packers.
At least. that's the word out
of Green Bay where the front
office Tuesday gave the stocky
former quarterback a vote of
confidence" in one of the most
surprising moves made in years.
THE Executive Committee"
Russell w. Bogda, club president,
told Ronzani at the special meet
ing, "has confidence in it's coach
ing staff and it's players, all
rumors to the contrary notwith-
s. anding."
Seemed to Fall Apart.
Bogda's action was unusual in
that until Tuesdays meeting
there never had been the Slight
est official displeasure voiced
with Ronzani's coaching meth
DDS, despite a decidedly inferior
exhibition season. In fact, earlier
this month, the word was that
the Packers. after many years
in the doldrums. had power
house and finally were coming
into their own in the National
Football League.
The bowling started when,
after sational debut against
the New York Giants, the club
seemed to fall apart. It lost four
straight exhibition games, fail
ing to score in the second half
of each. Then, to cap the dis
NAL showings, came Sundays
27-0 loss to Cleveland in the
league opener.
Even before Sundays game
the pressbox was flooded with
rumorS that RonZani was on his
way out. On Monday the switch
board at the Green Bay Press.
Gazette was flooded with calls
from people checking on what
they'd heard.
Special Session Held.
According to reports there was
no discussion of Ronzani's status
at Mondays regular Executive
Committee meeting. Bogda's
statement came at special ses-
sion Tuesday attended by direc-
tors, coaches and players.
"We wish to make it clear
here and now that insofar as
the coaching staff is concerned
there will be no changes, and
the confidence of the board in
the ability of the present coach
ing staff to bring to the front
the capacity of the ball club is
unimpaired," Bogda said.
THE Executive Committee,
along with the coaching staff,
feels that we have the nucleus
ola good ball club. with the per-
sonnel capable, if it gives it's
best, of competing with any club
in the league"
