CoIoniaIs Concentrate
| On Getting in Shape
And Getting Rougher
BY George Huber


George Washington football
players this week are:
/. Going to get in shape.
2. Going to get rougher.
Taking that second item first,
Coach Bo Sherman says his
charges hit each other harder
in practice last week than they
hit the Wake Forest players in
last Saturdays opening game.
They're going to be doing diff
ferently this week, though" he
said. when they block one of
those other fellows. I want them
to stay blocked. And when they
tackle them, ! want them to stay
tackled"
First Home" Game.
The Colonials go up against
Virginia Military in their first
"home" game Saturday after
noon at the George Washington
High School Stadium at Alex
andria, and they have been told
by Sherman that he expects
them to stop fooling around and
win this one.
The cooler weather that most
Washington citizens welcomed
this week came a bit too early
| to suit Sherman. I'D. like to play
on a cooler afternoon than we did
last Saturday" he said, ''but by
golly. few more days of hot
weather would really whip these
fellows into shape. I thought we
were ready for Wake Forest last
week, or at least I had hoped We
were ready, but we had to take
too many time outs. Physical
condition is as much a part of
football as anything else, and
we're going to do a lot of run
ming this week SO we'll be able
to do a lot of running this Sat-
urday."
Both Lost Openers.
Both CIV and Virginia Mill
tary lost their opening games
last week, but CIV will be ia
vored to take its first 1854 vic
tory Saturday. The Colonials
escaped with a 1913 victory
over the Keydets last season.
with two placement kicks by
Dick Gaspari making the diff
ference. Gaspari was guard
last year but is now a center.
The two players who scored
touchdowns last year, Halfback
Bill Weaver and Quarterback
Bob Sturm, also are back with
the Colonials.
Sturm received a cash over
his right eye that required six
stitches yesterday in a collision
with Weaver and End Richie
Gaskell. The latter two were un-
hurt in the accident. which oc-

Littman al Roosevelt
Again After 4zz Years

Herman Littman, who began
his high school coaching career
at Roosevelt in 1885, has re-
turned to that school after FOUR
and-a-half years on the coach
ing staff at Eastern.
He is presently junior varsity
football coach at Roosevelt and
assistant to joey kaufman, head
football coach. In the spring
Littman will take over varsity
baseball.
In the 1939-40 season, Littman
coached Roosevelt to the Inter
high and Metropolitan basket
ball championships. His team
competed in the Duke Durham
South States tournament at
Duke University but was elm
mated in the first round.
Roosevelt repeated it's Inter-
high championship the following
year under Littman and was
runnerup in the Metro tourney
Then the Riders won the Duke
tournament.
Littman went into the Army
In 1941 and returned to Roose-
velt after his discharge in s1946
He was recalled to the Army il,
1949 for one years duty and
upon his return, was transferred
to Eastern.
He coached basketball and
golf at Eastern in the 195O-51
season and served as varsity
baseball coach in 1852, winning
the Interhigh championship the
last two years.
In another change in the
coaching system, Colston Stew
art, former assistant football
coach and head track and swim.
ming coach at Armstrong, has
been made junior varsity foot
ball coach at Tech.

the big three. Merreli Whittlesey.
Z Hogan, playing pro at Palm
Springs at the time. didn't go
out Of his golf shop. He said he
liked the game of one of his
assistants at the California re-
sort. Gardner Dickinson. jr.
Dickinson is on hand for the
Celebrities Tournament Sponsors
championship starting tomorrow
at Congressional. He was the
last to leave the practice putting
green last night. Long after
every other contestant, Mangrum,
Cary Middlecoff, Jack Burke,
julius Boros. George Fazio, and
the other big names had headed
downtown, Dickinson was prac-
ticing long and short puts.
Dickinson is the only player
on the tour who might weigh less
than Bob Toski, the big money
winner. He's taller but thinner,
if possible. He's 27 years old
by just a few days, born in Ala
bama, reared in Georgia and at
present calls Panama City, Fla,
his home. He has a strong voice
with just a trace of a Southern
accent. He's one of the half
dozen or more LSU graduates on
the tour. ta.. '.....-
Gardner readily talked of his
Hogan sponsorship, but thinks
it's about time he did something
on his own instead of being
known as Hogan's choice as his
(Hogan's) successor.
Funny thing is that when
Hogan tabled Dickinson as the
next big name of pro golf. peo-
pie figured Dickinson must have
been a fellow who had early
admiration for Ben. styled his
game after him and had the
advantage Of Hogan teaching.
Actually, Hogan and Dickin-
son never met until May of 1853
when they were paired in the
Pan-American Open in Mexico.
During his amateur and early
professional days, Gardner had
styled his game after Hogan's,
figuring that If you initiate You
might as well initiate the best.

You Be the
Quarterback
ANSWER

4. Reverse. Not now! Hitting
the stronger side of their line on
a reverse that might be a bit
slow in developing would be a
bad mistake.
3. Tailback around end. Could
gain long yardage, but could also
be stopped cold.
2. Fullback off guard. Short
yardage play but pretty sure for
one yard. If you didn't kick, this
would be the play.
/. Punt. The rain, the wind,
and the score-everything calls
for the kick. A first down would
be nice, but don't gamble here.

IF I copied anybody. I copied
Hogan" Gardner said last night.
Some time later Dickinson
wrote Hogan. asking If Ben
would help him If he came to
him for a lesson. Hogan agreed
and Gardner few to California
and spent a couple Of days with
Ben. Shortly thereafter. to
Dickinson's great surprise, he
received a letter from Hogan ask
ing if Gardner could care to join
his staff at Palm Springs.
II had the opportunity to play
number Of times with Hogan
in California" Gardner said. but
I made a serious mistake and
I'm still paying for it," The mis-
take was that he spent hour after
hour on the practice tee and
didn't play enough. He inti-
mated that nobody can learn to
play golf on the practice tee
alone.
This concludes Dickinson's
second summer on the PGA tour,
and he's somewhat discouraged.
He had a streak of missing the
money in four straight tourna-
ments. The best he has done
was fourth in the Colonial In
vitation in Texas in May, worth
$1,70O.
Gardner is upset because he
is playing worse instead of bet
ter, and has small consolation In
the fact that it took years for
Hogan to emerge from a strug-
Cling young pro who couldn't
make expenses. to the man with
the greatest gold record since
Bobby Jones, maybe greater.
Dickinson also finds little con-
ISOLATION in that Hogan warned
him that it would be at least two
years before he was ready for the
big time. In talking to Gardner
it's easy to see that he primarily
is concerned with shotmaking,
and is envious Of the pros who
miss the greens in regulation
figures but chip and putt their
way to healthy bankroils.
Dickinson obviously keeps close
check on the vital statistics of
his golf game. For instance. ho
can tell you that he never has
played in a 72-hole tournament
with less than eight three-putt
green's, and that he averages
34.2 puts per round. That's al
most two per green. and he will
not win in the company in which
he is competing.
Putting has become an obses-
sion with him. In that depart
ment he admits he has listened
to tips from half the players on
the tour. in a desperate effort
to crash the big-money list.

Until last New Years Day,
Maryland football teams under
Coach Jim Tatum had gone
through so games without being
shut out.
The last team to blank the
Terrapins before Oklahoma did
it in the Orange Bowl was VAN
derbilt in 1948. Vanderbilt that
year was coached by Red
Sanders, the man who now is in
charge of the UCLA Bruins, the
Pacific Coast Conference cham
pions whom Tatum's Terrapins
meet next, a week from Friday
night, in Los Angeles.
Tatum was reminded of this
at the weekly press luncheon at
College Park yesterday and it
didn't seem to phase him. He re-
minded a capacity house Of DR..
Wilson H. Elkins, the new Mary
land president, and sports writ
ers, radio and TV men of Wash
ington, Baltimore and Los An
geles, that the November '48
game was Maryland's last low
ebb in collegiate football.
1t was not only the Sanders
single wing and the defense that
beat the Terps, but the fact that
Maryland had been beaten, 49,
20, by North Carolina the previ-
Gus week, a score that did moi
truly indicate the pace of the
game, and that defeat had left
Maryland in a very low frame
of mind. ~ ~
Tatum admitted that the sin.
gle wing as taught by Sanders
created a problem, inasmuch as
it will be the only single-wing
opponent faced this year, but
that's the main reason Tatum
insisted on an open date between
games.
Tommy Mont, Maryland's back.
field coach, was celebrating after
a winning week end by his three
teams.
For the second straight sum-
mer Mont spent some time in
Mexico coaching the Mexico
Poly team. The latter defeated
Santa Anna in California last
Saturday.
Tommy also spent two weeks
at Paris Island teaching the
Maryland split-T to the Marines
The latter defeated Charleston
S. c., AFB last Saturday.
And with Maryland beating
Kentucky, Coach Mont had 6
80 record in one day.
Emmett Cheek, Maryland's s
chief scout for the UCLA game
is not too sure that the absence
of Paul Cameron will be too much
in Maryland's favor against
UCLA.
Cameron was a great running
tailback before he was gradu-
ated, and principally because OF
his ability the Bruins were q
running team.
Now the Bruins are deeper in
tailbacks, more versatile. and
more apt to pass.
Cheek will know more this
week after he and Bob Ward
scout the UCLA-Kansas game
as he admitted UCLA's 67-0 vic
tory over San Diego Naval last
week could have been attributed
as much to the Naval teams poor
defense as to UCLA's seemingly
great offenSe.
Maryland and UCLA entered 8
picture trading agreement of the
last two regular-season games
and the bowl games. Thus Mary
land studied films of UCLA ir
action against Washington
Southern California and Michi.
gan State. and UCLA viewed
Maryland films against Missis.

Redskins May Need
Gang 1ack|ing 10 Halt
Forty-Niners Sunday
By Lewis F. Atchison

Joe Kuharich isn't worried
about the offense the Forty
Miners will throw at his Red
skins Sunday at San Francisco.
He isn't worried, that is. about
seeing anything new. It'll be
the same old hit-and-run ground
attack and hot-poker passing
thrusts that the Forty Miners
have used right along, if Joe
doesn't miss his guess.
Kuharich sees no reason for
Coach Buck Shaw to tinker with
an ofense that accounted for
260 points and seven straight
victories on the exhibition cir
cult, including 30-7 triumph
over the. Redskins. Knowing
this simplifies his planning for
the game more than one can
imagine.
"All we've got to do now is
stop 'em," says Joe.
Gang Tackling Indicated.
Defensively, the Redskins
looked as good in taking their
Jumps from the Forty-Niners as
any of the other six victims.
The Shaw steamroller ground
out only 80 points against Wash
ington, but scored at least 81
against the New York Giants,
Chicago Cardinals, Cleveland
Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Only the Rams, who held San
Francisco to % in losing by l
point, did better. but Coach
Hamp Pool of the Rams says the
figures were misleading.
"They handled us extensively
and defensively,'' said Pool,
whose team is here this week
tuning up for Sundays opener
at Baltimore.
Kuharich believes it will take
"gang" tackling to stop the bone
crunching blasts of Hugh Nc
Elhenny, Joe Perry and Rookie
Henry johnson, unless the Red
skins show unexpected indl-
vidual improvement overnight
The Washington eleven's tack
ling has been strictly junior col
lege style thus far, and in Ku-
harich's opinion, tackling is
something that can't be taught
in the pro league.
McElhenny is being hailed as
modern footballs greatest run
ming back, even though he was
seventh in the league last season
with SOB yards. Perry topped
everybody with 1.018 yards, the
first back to hit the 1.000-yard
mark since Steve Van Buren, OF
Philadelphia established his
league record of LAG in 1949
Janowicz Doubtful.
Most football experts look fol
Johnson to be one of the best,
more valuable, perhaps, than
either McElhenny or Perry over
the long haul. He was the Forty
Miners leading ground-gainer
against the Redskins with 63
yards in the exhibition game,
and they say he's just beginning
j to learn the tricks.
Against this trio the Redskins
will need quantity tackling il
they lack the quality. and Ku-
harich may be in trouble be-
cause two of his key men, Harry
Gilmer and Chuck Drazenovich
both are just getting over knee
injuries and may not last long
against the Coast bruisers.
Kuharich. however. had only
one doubtful player-ofdcially
as of today. Vic JanoWicz, Ohio
State rookie who Joined the
squad only last week and ripped
off a toenail the first day out ir
kicking practice, seems to be run
ming well enough to be used or
defense in pinch, but Kuharict
had hoped to use him for punt
ing and place-kicking. The coach
won't know until the squaC
reaches San Francisco whether
JanoWicz will be able to go.

Los Angeles reporters told
Tatum the temperature at game
time probably would be 70 de-

always seemed to be 70 degrees
for UCLA night games, and they
didn't know whether it was be-
cause of the ideal climate, or
whether the thermometer was
broken.
They admitted, however, that
playing at night was much more
desirable than Saturday after
moons, because the thermometer
on the stadium floor when the
sun was out occasionally hits ITO.
Tatum went back to his base

why his team would not work out

before the game.
