Wealth Of Material

OF Better Season
By Lewis F.. Atchison
It's that time again.


The Redskins leave for their
Los Angeles training camp
Thursday, with is layers, Gen
eral Manager Dick NcCann,
George Marshall, president Of
the club, and newspapermen 60
ing by train. Sixteen more play
ers will join the party en- route.
and the rest will report directly
to camp.
Tackle Paul Llpscomb and End
Joe Tereshinski will make the
trip by auto, and Tackle John
Yonakor has permission to do the
same.
Backdeld Coach Bill Dudley
and End Coach Wayne Millner
left by plane late last night, and
Herman Ball, chief scout and
aide-de-camp to Coach Curly
Lambeau, took of Friday night.
They'll join Lambeau. Line
Coach Larry Seimering and
QuarterbackS Eddie LeBaron
and Harry Gilmer for a week OF
precamp work beginning tomor-
row.
Team Has Confidence.
With a wealth of new material,
augmented by the return of such
veterans as Center Harry Ulin-
ski, Linebacker Ed Quirk and
Halfback Hall Haynes, the Red
skins are trimming over with
confidence. Their improvement
near the end of the 1852 season,
plus the fact that Lambeau will
be at the helm at the start are in
the clubs favor.
Some problems have yet to be
troned out. Johnny Williams,
who made good as a defensive
halfback last year, wants more
money. Ditto for Paul Barry.
who was obtained in a deal with
the Los Angeles Rams. Both are
on the West Coast and will talk
to Lambeau and Ball this week.
The teams first practice Is not
scheduled until a week from to-
morrow, and a player is not Of
ficially considered a holdout I'M
til he fails to appear at the first
session.
Little Eddie SaenZ, since re-
tired, was a habitual last-minute
signer. Steve Bagarus, also re-
tired, delayed signing most OF
the years he was with the Red
skins. AS a rule the players and
management have little trouble
resolving their differences.
Cardinals Underway.
While the Redskins may seem
to be getting an early start, the
Chicago Cardinals already have
begun drills and several other
clubs will be. in the field this
week. Two years ago the Red
skins left town July Is. but it
didn't make much difference.
Lambeau has % days to get
his men ready for the opening
exhibition game August 10 with
the Los Angeles Rams, but the
usual two-a-day program should
do the trick. The Redskins play
the Forty Miners at San Fran
cisco 10 days later, and then
break camp.
One of the unusual features Of
this years training junket is that
only one stop is scheduled on the
return trip. That is for a game
with the Packers at Green Bay
the night of September S. The
team will fly back to Washington
the next day. Two of the last
three preseason games, with
Pittsburgh at Columbia, s. c.,
and Detroit at Buffalo. will be
overnight trips and the other
will be the Colts at Baltimore.
Open on Road.
Like last season, however, the
Redskins play their first two
games on the road, meeting the
Cardinals in their league debut
September q at Chicago. They
open against the New York
Giants at home october II.
Players scheduled to leave here
Thursday are Walt Ashcraft, Ed
Berrang, Stan Butterworth, Jack
Cloud, Andy Davis, Harry Dowda,
Tom Flyzik, Charlie Justice, Joe
Krulock, Bill Link, Laurie Niemi,
Johnny Papit, Knox Ramsey,
Jim Ricca and Alex Webster.
Chuck Drazenovich and Madi-
son Nutter will join the party at
Pittsburgh, and the others will
be picked up at various points
along the route.
