that he hasn't witnessed any

Redskins Acquire
Menasco, Defensive
| Back, From Eagles
BY Lewis E. Atchison

The Redskins brought their
squad up to 33-piayer limit to-
day by signing Don Menasco. a
defensive halfback from Texas
with two years pro experience
with the New York Giants.
Menasco. 185-pound. 6-footer
who earned All-American honors
on the Associated Press team
three seasons ago. was acquired
from the Philadelphia Eagles.
The latter club got him from
the Giants during the off-sea-
son.
Menasco hurt his knee in pre-
season work and was placed on
the Eagles injured reserve list.
But technicality in National
Football League rules enabled
the Washington team to ac-
quire him. Not being listed as
one of Philadelphia's 80 players,
Menasco's name had to be put
on the waiver list. and the Red
skins claimed him.
George Marshall, president of
the Redskins. said the player
was examined today by the team
physician and found to be okay,
although he won't be ready to
make his Washington debut for
a couple of weeks. Menasco re-
places Sam Morlay, rockies end
from Stanford, who was dropped
early last week.
Meanwhile, Coach Joe Kuha-
rich, planning for Sundays home
opener with the Giants, said
Dave Sparks, a guard obtained
from San Francisco last week.
will replace Dick Modzelewski
as middle guard on defense.
Little Mo" will be used to spell
off Jim Ricca at defensive

but working in shifts should be

size: "They got one boy in the
backfield about 6-foot-6 and 230

Grain turned around in his

players in the back of the school
bus and muttered, We'll. they'd
better be big, because these boys
are hungry"
Indeed they were large, but
not as huge as was feared by
Grain.
