best we can, and take It game
by game"
Kuharich said the Redskins
win observe a strict curfew. but
that he wouldn't ask them to
do anything unreasonable or out
Of the ordinary. He thinks the
squad will cooperate.
The new head coach said he
, couldn't criticize Lambeau,s
training procedure. that with Is
games to play Curly always
brought the team along slowly.
Hopes Quarterbacks Click.
Kuharich admitted the Red
skins don't have pro material
in certain positions, without
naming the positions. Quarter
backing. offensive and defensive
end and right tackle have been
the Redskins most glaring weak
neSSeS.
Eve feel that both quarter
backs Jack Scarbath and AL
Dorowl will come along" Ku-
harich said, hut we hope It
will be quicker than we think. !"
Asked to repeat the statement.
Joe explained that Scarbath's
finger injury of a year ago had
retarded him. and that the ex-
Maryland star was just a notch
ahead Of the hobbled Dorow, now
bothered by injured ankles. Both
need pro experience, the new
coach said.
Marshall was irritated because
Lambeau promised to call the
Redskins plays against the
Forty Miners and did so on the
teams opening drive in the first
quarter, when the team reached
San Francisco's 20-yard line.
After that the quarterback ap-
parently was on his own.
Called Signals as Guard.
Kuharich said he would "give
the quarterbacks every bit of help
we can," and that he probably
will direct the offense from the
sideline. Joe called signals for
the Chicago Cardinals from a
guard post and was rated as a
No. ] gridiron strategist. He was
l-league guard after starring
at Notre Dame.
Marshall also criticized Lam
beau for using veterans like End
Hugh Taylor and Harry Gilmer,
defensive halfback, full time
throughout the Sacramento game
while untried rockies sat on the
bench.
Kuharich said he would add
some new patterns on both Of
Tense and defense but that, basil
cally. the Redskins would con-
tinue with the same strategy
taught by Lambeau.
Marshall was particularly I'M
happy about the one sided wal
lopings the Redskins took in
their games with the Rams and
Forty Miners. The Rams won
81 to Z. but could have made
the score almost anything they
pleased had they cared to rub
it in. The Forty Miners had
tough going in the first quarter,
but wrapped it UP with % points
in the second period and used
reserves throughout much of the
last quarter.
Team Slowed Down.
Kuharich said he thought the
Redskins had a chance to beat
the Forty-Niners in the first
period, and blamed exhaustion
for the letdown that permitted
San Francisco ball-carriers to
romp and roam in the, second
quarter.
"Our boys were just a step
J slower in the second quarter, -
Joe said. "They missed knocking
down passes by a yard. They
were there but not quick enough
as they were. beginning to fade
under the pace"
The Rams Redskins game al
ways has been noted for its high
toll of coaches. The Redskins
have won only three games OF
the nine played and the Rams
coaches in those three-Bob
Snyder, Clark Shaughnessy and
Joe Stydahar-all were fired
subsequently.
Marshall has given Kuharich
full authority to obtain a new
man for the coaching staff, but
the coach said he wasn't sure
just where to look fore one, or
whether the newcomer would be
a backfield or line coach. Her
man Ball and Wayne Millner
will continue with the team in
their present capacities.
