Redskins Sign Nutter,
Virginia Tech Center

The Redskins signed up a
farmer to play center for them
today, adding the name of Mad
ison Nutter of Virginia Tech to
the list of 1853 squadmen who
have agreed to terms. Nutter is
the 10th player signed.
A 6-foot-4 22O-pounder who
can play either way, Nutter is
expected to be tried on offense
just in case AL Demao does de-
eide to retire. The veteran De-
mao has talked about hanging
up his helmet for the last couple
of years, but came back last
year when there was a shortage
of centers. Nutter may make it
possible for AL really to retire.
Nutter halls from Hunting
ton, w. Va. and majored in gen.
eral agriculture at VPI. The
schools football brochure calls
him a fine linebacker and ex-
ceptional ball-snapper. He won
All-Southern and Southern Con-
ference honors.
Nutter was the only center Sc
lected by the Redskins at the
draft meeting. Although 18th on
the Washington list, the Cog
bier star actually was the Red
skins eighth choice as they gave
up four of their first 10 picks
through 1852 trades.

The big backstop, batting .259

precautionary measure.
DR.. Middleman, the club
surgeon, said he could find

it is too soon for a final verdict
on the two pitchers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-What
the United States is going to do
for Davis Cup captain this year
has tennis followers puzzled.
II don't know" Alrick Man,
chief of the Davis Cup commit
tee, said today, "but you can
count me out. I don't want it"
Man has been Davis Cup cap
tain and knows the headaches
involved. Walter Pate found out
and so did Frank Shields two
years ago.
I'VE had a good man all lined
up in Don McNeill," said Man,
who last year made the trip to
Australia as adviser to Capt. Vic
Seixas. But Don changed his
job recently and won't be avail
able. Now Wen have to go shop
ping around"
Man said he'd like to see a
young fellow get the spot, but
that's something he's been plug
ging for years.
Doubtful About Playing Captain.
For long time, I thought we
ought to have a playing cap
tain," he said. 'but now I'm not
so sure. It's a great strain,
especially when the captain has
to select from a group that in
cludes himself"
With the problem of the cap
taincy still unsolved, there isn't
too much doubt as to the team.
But it really makes no diff
ference who is selected for that
team" he observed. "Tony Ira
bert remains the key man. With
the proper training, Tony could
replace Frank Sedgman as the
worlds No. l amateur.
I'VE had a setback recently
when we learned that Tony prob
ably would not get out of the
Navy until September, which will
mean he'll miss our national
championships. Originally we
were led to believe that he'd be
out in July"
Might Have Won Cup.
Man said that if Trabert had
a little. more competitive tennis

probably would have won the

Latvian Says Russians
 Executed Hundred Of His COuntrymen In 194O, 1941

NEW YORK, RAA former Lat vian court official told congress sional hearing Thursday that So- viet Russians executed hundreds of Latvians after occupying the little Baltic country.
 One victim was a schoolboy whose only listed crime was mem bership in a student agricultural organization, Atis Grantskalns, of Nixon, N.J., said.
 He testified before a special house committee appointed to in- vestigate seizure of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union.
 The committee has invied An drei Vishinsky, Soviet deputy for eign minister and permanent dele gate to the United Nations, to testify in defense of his nations actions. There has been no reply.
 Grantskalns, who had a post similar to that of district attorney, said the executions he spoke of took place in 1940 and 1941 before the Russians were driven out of Latvia temporarily by the Ger mans.
 Grantskalns said the bodies found included army officers, law yers, doctors, businessmen and police and government officials.
 He told of finding photostat list of more than 100 Latvians, with a notation that "all must be shot" as enemies of the socialist system. He said red ink endorse ment at the bottom bore the name of "Hustin," aiSoviet secret police commissar.
