he has filled for nine seasons.
George Ratterman. 28-year-
old veteran, and Ken Gorgal,
who win be Is in February, are
the only other quarterbacks on
the current Browns roster, and
Gorgal has been used only on
defense. The club won the Ma

Lane Offers As
Deal for Finigan
And Top Hurler
White Sox Keep Busy
After Giving Up Foin,
Landing Dropo. Groy
BY The Assoeiused Press

NEW YORK. Dec. Frank
Lane. the ade-conscious White
Sox general manager. went after
the Kansas City Athletics today
in an effort to add to the two
deals he completed yesterday
that brought three players from
the Baltimore Orioles and three
from the Detroit Tigers.
Without actually naming the
players he hoped to pry loose
from the Athletics. Lane left no
doubt in the listeners mind that
he was after Third Baseman Jim
Finigan and Pitcher Arnold Por-
tocarrero, the two most desirable
trading commodities in Manager
Lou Boudreau'S assortment Of
cellar dwellers.
Is Players Involved.
"We're ready to trade some
more" the free-talking Lane
said after landing First Base
man Walt Dropo and Catcher
Clint Courtney and giving up
First Baseman Ferris Fain In
the two deals which involved q
total of Is players.
"only the curfew stopped US
from completing a third deal
last night" he added. I'VE
know what Boudreau wants. He's
looking to get number of play
ers. He doesn't expect to pick
up any top guy. We've got
enough players now to give
Boudreau the guys he needs
Lane figured in the only two
deals swung yesterday as the
major league convention got un-
der way with the National and
American Leagues meeting in
the same hotel but in separate
rooms.
Minors Proposals Killed.
A joint meeting today wound
up the convention. AS expected.
the majors rejected the minor
leagues proposals to restrict
radio and television broadcasts
and to cut the big league player
limit from Is to % men for
each team.
The vote against reducing the
player limit was cast by Com
missioner Ford Prick after the
two leagues had taken opposite
stands. The American League

Chicago Cardinals here Sunday
in the seasons wrapup.
Kuharich's reappointment was
predicted several weeks ago when
the Redskins came. home to upset
the Pittsburgh Steelers. TIA,
after taking a 62-3 drubbing
from the Browns in Cleveland.
It was Kuharich's ability to
bring the team back that paved
the way for his return.
Marshall earlier had said he
would make no statement con-
corning the coaching situation
until after the season ends. At
that time the 37-year -old Ku-
harich. one-tirne Notre Dame
guard, who later played for the
Chicago Cardinals. was believed
headed for the exit and there
were rumors that Jim Tatum of
Maryland might take the job.
Marshall evidently changed his
mind Sunday, after watching
the Redskins lose to the Browns
again. but by the more respect
able score of 34-14.
Carte Blanche Authority.
The Redskins head said Ku-
harich will have carte blanche
authority. It includes the selec-
ton of his own staff of assist
ants II Joe desires to make any
changes. Kuharich brought in
Mike Nixon this year as back
field coach after taking over the
reins from Curly Lambeau.
Wayne Millner coached the ends
this year and Herman Ball served
in an overall capacity, includ-
ing personnel director.
Kuharich said it would be a
week or 10 days before he
thought about plans for next
year. He was busy today plot
ting strategy for Sundays finale
still heavy-hearted after the
sudden death of Dave Sparks
Sunday night.
In announcing Joe's reappoint-
ment, Marshall said he thought
''he deserves a chance to run
the team his way after taking
it over under the most difficult
circumstances" The Redskins
president was referring to the
flareup in Sacramento, Calf,
between himself and Lambeau,
following an exhibition-ganae de-
4 feat by the San Francisco Forty
Miners, which led to Kuharich's
elevation to the top post.
/ Cites Many Handicaps.
Marshall thought Kuharich
showed imagination on both Of
Tense and defense" in his ham
| ding of the team, and that his
record was commendable in the
face of the unusual number OF
! green players he. had to work
with.
/ HE kept morale up despite
losses under the handicap Of in
juries which have been amaz-
ing" Marshall added. "Just
think of playing the Browns
without men like Joe Tereshin-
ski, Volney Peters, Dale Atkesor
| and Vic JanoWicZ."
