cause he's listed as a defensive
end? That would be silly"
The Redskins are continuing
to discover players capable of
changing positions with GU
weakening the team. One of
their most valuable utility men
is the veteran Joe Tereshinski,
who plays either end, offense OF
defense. and who, can back up
the line. Rookie Ken Barfield,
who plays either tackle, was
moved to guard when Slug Wi
tucki was injured and showed
that with a little more schooling
he can handle the position. Paul
Lipscomb, long typed as strictly
a defensive tackle, got a lot OF
fun and did a lot of damage to
the opposition as a defensive end,
and now. with Harry Jagielski
Army-bound. Paul may have to
pitch in and help out on Of
tense.
Jim Ricca is another whose
hidden talents have been dredged
up in the search, for all-around
men. Numerous experts gave
the husky Georgetown lineman
no chance at all of making the
grade in pro ranks because he
was generally overlooked in COL
lege. But from middle-guard on
defense, Ricca has successfully
and successfully played offensive
tackle and defensive end.
Chef Ostrowski, rookie end
from Notre Dame. is another
who goes both ways when called
on, and the latest convert-by
Kuharich's ORDERS Quarter
back AL Dorow, who has been
moved to halfback.

The more Kuharich searches
to fill gaps left by injuries and
departures, the more convinced
he is that two-way players.

Gives Montreal Lead
In Big -Four League
BY Ne Associated Press

OTTAWA. Sept. The Mon
treal A1ouettes now stand alone

over the Ottawa Rough Riders,
20-1l. last night.
AT Hamilton. Ontario. the To-
ronto Argonauts moved into sec
ond place by trimming the Ham
ilton Tiger Cats. 21-7.
Alex Webster. former North
Carolina State star. picked up
much of Montreal's rushing
yardage with fast plunges,
through the line, but two Of the
Alouette touchdpwns were scored
by Chuck HHnsinger and the
other by Hal Patterson.
Ottawa's touchdowns were
scored by Johnny Granting of
South Carolina and Bob Simp-
son.
In the game at Hamilton a
strong ground attack led by
Gene Wilson Of South Carolina.
Billy Cross, ex-Chicago Cardi-
nal. and Dick Shatto was the
feature of the Argos victory.

the Redskins to Canada, con-
verted after three touchdowns.
In the Western Interprovincial
Football Union, Regina took over
undisputed possession Of first
place by beating the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers, 1914, yesterday.
The victory moved Coach Frank
Filchock's team out of a first
place tie with the Bombers.
Fran Tripucka. formerly of
Notre Dame and the Chicago
Cardinals, was the star for Re-
gina with his passes setting up
scoring chances. The veteran Joe
Aguirre tied the league record
with four field goals.

the Edmonton Eskimos came
from behind with two touch
downs in the last quarter to nip

Injuries, Draft Calls
Plague Redskins in
Drills for Packers
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stcff corrssrendent

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Sept. 4.
Injuries and draft calls con-,
tinue to plague the Redskins In
their preparations for Saturday
nights fifth exhibition game of
the season with the Green Bay
Packers at Raleigh.
AL Dorow, making his first
start on defense, suffered q
painful hip bruise when he fell
after trying to intercept q pass,
and Rookie Tackle Harry Jag
ielSki Of Indiana was summoned
home to Chicago by his draft
board for his pre-induction
physical exam. Rookie Halfback
Roger ,Dornburg of Chicago re-
ceived his draft greetings Sun
day. Both were well on their way
to winning regular berths with
the team.
Dorow, changing over from quar-
terback to halfback, was being
coached in an individual drill
when injured. The former Mich
igan State star. just recovering
from siege Of weak ankles, fell
heavily and X-rays may be
made today to determine If the
injury is more serious than q
bruise. He found it painful to
put weight on his right foot yes
terday.
Unofficially. it was 101 in the
shade at the motel where the
Redskins are Quartered, and
Chuck Erickson, North Carolina
UniverSity's director of ath-
letics. called yesterday the hot
test day of the year. But Coach
Joe Kuharich ordered an extra
workout for backf1eld men in the
afternoon. The coach wants
more protection for the passer
and better blocking on running
plays. 1t was tough on the boys
but Kuharich thought it nee
esSary.
Guard Slug Wituckf and Line
hacker Chuck Drazenovich. who
were left in Washington to have
their injured knees streated by
Doc LentZ, trainer for the
Washington Senators. will re-
join the squad here today.
They'll continue treatments
under Trainer Joe Kuczo and
will not play against the Pack
ers. End Sam Morley of STAN
ford, getting over an operation
to mend a shoulder separation,
also is here but not ready for
action.

fields" Joe says, land kickers
like Lou Groza, and ends like
Bones Taylor-guys who are
head and shoulders above the
crowd in their particular talent.
but you also got to have the men
who can do a lot of things well
enough to help you when you're
crippled and Short-handed.
Right or wrong about the pros
future, Kuharich is certainly
aware that colleges are sending
more and more good two-way
men into pro football under their
platoon system. Right now, Joe
is all for it.

the backbone of Westerns team.
Eight players up from the jay

that's it.

Deuel. to Play Fullback.
Deuel., a halfback last year,
is to be converted into a full
back. He suffered a serious
kidney injury in the Coolidge
game last year, but has COM
pletely recovered. He will wear
a pad. however. as a precaution
but should see plenty Of action
both on offense and defense.
With lombard at the other
halfback spot will be Ronnie
McDuff1e, 5-foot-10 and 155
pounds. The quarterback slot
will probably be filled by Bobby
Lomax. 5-foot-7. 160 pounds. He
is the brother of Hop Lomax, a
former basketball star at West
ern and now a basketball official.
Bobby Lonlax is up from the
jayvees.
Two Backs Promising.
Two other backfield candidates
from the jayvees should stick
with the varsity this year. They
are John Lewis, 5-foot-9, 155
pounds, and Ray Lombardi,
brother of Sal, 5-foot-i0, $40
pounds. Lewis will be worked
in as a halfback or fullhack and
Ray lombard as a quarterback.
Five linemen from the jayvees
should make the squad. They
are Dick Twitchell and Sonny
Best, guards; John Healy and
Bill Johnston, ends. and Dick

only ISIS pounds. Other line
candidates include Bill King and
