LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-A
surprise Sunday line scrimmage.
featured by the defensive work
Of Dick Modzelewski and Knox
Ramsey, ended the Redskins
heavy work for Wednesday
nights game here with the Los
Angeles Rams. It wasn't letter
perfect, but it indicated the
Rams so-called "bull backfleld"
will have rough going.
Three Of the four Redskins
players on the College All-Stars
squad, who arrived at camp in
the morning. were in uniform but
did not participate. The fourth
man. End Steve Meilinger of
Kentucky. is Army-bound.
Fullback Ralph FELTON, OF
Maryland, who aggravated an
old ankle injury, will be exam
ined and X-rayed today to de-
termine If his injury is more
serious than bad sprain. FELTON,
said he was hurt in the Senior
Bowl game last January when
someone fell on his foot. He was
treated at the All-Stars camp
and "felt good" the night of the
game until somebody kicked him
Schrader Looks Fit. 4
Neither FELTON, nor Tackle
Harry Jagielski from Indiana
appeared to be in good physical
condition. Jim Schrader, bull
necked center and linebacker
from Notre Dame, looked ready
to step into the lineup and all
three said they had been worked
hard by Coach Jim Tatum and
his assistants at the All-Stars
camp.
The addition of this trio, all
of whom are counted on to make
the grade with the Redskins
plus the news that End Wait
Yowarsky will receive his Army
discharge in time to rejoin the
club in Detroit late this week.
points up the fact that the Red
skins will not have their best
potential team on the field We'd
nesday night. Numerous changes
are certain to be made before
the start of the league season.
September 26.
Yowarsky, star of Kentucky's
Sugar Bowl victory in 1851. had
q good season with the Redskins
that fall. but has been in service
the last two years. The husky
end. now a lieutenant with APP
proximately 10 months of over
seas duty behind him, now is at
Camp Kilmer, N. j., to be mus
tered out.
Hard-hitting Slug Witucki at
offensive guard and Joe Tere-
shinski, backing up the line, were
among the standouts in yester-
days drill. The defense had an
edge in the 45-minute workout,
although Witucki and Gene
Pepper. leading trap plays,
punched. a few holes in it.
Ready as Can Be.
Light drills tonight and to-
morrow will complete work for
the game, and Coach Curly Lam
beau believes the Redskins are
as ready for the game as pos !,
sible.
"I'll be disappointed if we
aren't better than we were
year ago." the coach said. THE
first three games will not be an
accurate yardstick of the teams
strength for obvious reasons. but
We'll be better than last year"
One thing for sure, the morale
here is higher than it was at
the College All-Stars' camp,
judging by the remarks of the
three new Redskins. They blamed
their crushing defeat by the De-
troit Lions on a "don't-give-a-
damn" attitude displayed by
some players, plus boredom and
open clashes of temperament.
NOTES: Curly Lambeau,
Wayne Millner and Joe Kuharich
will conduct a one-day football
clinic tomorrow afternoon for
some $50 high school coaches
invited from all over Southern
California to the big game by
the Los Angeles Times. AL
Dorow's ankle still bothers him.
And Vic Thomas damaged
leg is taking longer to heal than

O dislocated elbow. may be ready
in two more weeks. Sam
Morley, ex-Stanford star. re-
turns to the daily workouts to-
day after being laid up almost
four weeks after a shoulder
separation operation.
