Evening star., 1954-10-18

eight days ago. Conery like Burk, quarterback the
Redskins couldn't use and Agajanian got pink clip month
Yesterday two more of this stripe got into the act
meaning not only Burk but Harry Dowda as we'll
NOBODY CAN BE BLAMED for not connecting Quarter
with the Redskins because all dates back to
and besdes Burk played for the Burgundy and
Gold He of the Colts when pro football fell on
its ksser Baltimore and along with the other players
Burk tossed into grabbag. The Redskins drafted him
well down the list
When the deed was done it almost if George
Marshall and whoever coaching at that time said:
what doing with this fellow? We have Sammy
Baugh Harry Gmer already Leave dispose of Burk
And they did. And Adrian Burk, formerly Of
Baylor the Colts and oblquey the Redskins returned to
torment the B. & G. as they've never been tormented.
Seven touchdowns the Eagles scored in their 1921 rout
of the Redskins and all on passes and all were thrown
by Guess Who.
It was such shock that even President Marshall had
not realized the magnitude of Burks performance until As
minutes after the game when reporter hepfuy brought
it to his attention in the coaches office 1T hard to be-
Heve" muttered Mr. Marshall UNDERSTANDABLE leaving the
room for breath of air.
HARRY DOWDA, DURING the years he served
Redskin not what might be called the No. l fair
haired boy of the customers AS defensive back he
adequate less, but when he showed up in
Eagle uniform yesterday Harry either O terrific 2
much better than Coach Kuharch secondary
that he merely looked terrific.
The old Wake Forester intercepted pass, broke up
passes and tackled in the born For time there
movement afoot in the pressbox inspired by veteran
RedSkin chronicerS demand saliva test for Dowda,
but this put down by Eddie Hogan of the Eagles.
Ever since got Dowda," he she's been playing
that well. I can't understand. :"
Can't understand why Dowda was let out perhaps9
Well what about of the others released traded
that matter? .,st:s-
ALTHOUGH THE REDSKINS did not realize it at the
time September IL red-letter day True they were
whoped by Green Bay in exhibition, but agile
antcpatory the defenders that the Packers gained
1876 yards by passing. That games ago. Since
then team has failed to gain than 200 yards
the air.
In anybody has liking for morbid statistics the
Redskins in four championship games have yielded 178
points and their opponents passes alone have gained
995 yards Once often the enemy score on
running play but really this too much trouble Why
work out of when the Giants Eagles by scoring IL
touchdoWns on passes two successive Sundays,
simplify it so?
As usual Mr. Kuharch upset over his pass defense
but at the autopsy he admitted again there much he
could do. Il playing best men, sighed resignedy
1t was felt They making lot of mistakes YOU
cannot afford to make mistakes against good,
like the Eagles"
This very similar to the Kuharch was playing
week earlier but he is not to be blamed Probably it is the
only he's got.
FOR SOME REASON, the Redskn pass defenders are
built low to the say to the Harlem
Globe Trotters Vic JanowicS Harry Glmer George Roso
Nick Adduci and Joe Scudero not only on the small
sde but the suspicion is growing that they may mite
heavyfooted and gube for the pro pass patterns
that are directed at them.
For publication, at least Kuharich was thinking aloud
tnat the Redskins secondary will improve the season
progresses This nice hear and had better be true
because when one comes to think of it, neither Conery nor
Burk rates with the leagues four passers There
are better sharpshooerS named If insists Norm Van
Brockln, Otto Graham, Bobby Layne and Y. A. Title
