Honer in Hospital

LOS ANGELES. July Is
The Redskins have gone to
work on their offensive and de-
fensive passing game, which viii
have to show a big improve
ment over last year If they hope
Ito win more than three games,
and Coach Joe Kuharich was
not displeased with what he
saw in the first drill.
The aerial show followed a
little excitement stirred up by
the illness of Halfback Bob
Haner from Villanova. Suffer-
ling from abdominal pains.
Haner was rushed to Hollywood
Presbyterian Hospital for a
suspected attack of appendicitis.
But with that trouble ruled out
after an examination, Haner
was kept overnight for observa-
tion. The physician attending
him now thinks it might be a
mild attack of the flu.
Eddie LeBaron and AL Dorow,
who will handle the quarter
backing chores until Ralph
Guglielmi's arrival from the
All-Star game in Chicago, die
the pitching yesterday, with al
of the ends getting into the re-
ceiving act. They did well against
a defense loaded with rockies
Jim Combs from Washington
and, Lee and Gerry Wenzel oi
Indiana started as linebackers
with Nick Adduci, a veteran, and
Okie Okuneff Of UCLA at the
wings, and Johnny O'Shea OF
San Francisco State and Walt
Ambord of Los Angeles State in
the deep positions.
Carson and Jones Shine
Johnny Carson, who came to
the Redskins last year from the
Browns. along with Fullback
Dale Atkeson, showed "excep-
tional poise, class and conf
dence," according to Kuharich.
Unless early signs are mislead-
ling. the former Georgia star will
replace Bones Taylor as the
teams No. / passing target this
year.
Charlie Jones, former George
Washington end, held down
Taylor's old berth and acquitted
himself well. Kuharich thinks
the determined ex-Colonial will
do all right there.
The Redskins completed fewer
passes than any other team In
the league last year and, con-
Iversely. had more completed
against them. than any other
team, a trend the coaches are
determined to check:
Jim Monachino, who started
his pro football career with the
IForty-Niners and was shifted to
defense, is being used on offense
lby the Redskins. Released by
both the Forty Miners and the
Giants, after a two-year hitch
in the Navy, Monachino is hope
full of making a comeback this
year. and Kuharich's decision to
luse him as a ball-carrier has
given him a new lift.
Kenny Stoll, Washington. D.
&C., sandlotter. also showed a
good pair Of hands and good
movement as a pass-catcher
He isn't as polished as some
others, but If he grabs the ball
in scrimmage as well as he die
yesterday, somebody will have tc
move over.
Punters Go to Work
Kuharich also put the punters
to work yesterday in a light drill
LeBaron. Janowicz, Dorow, Rot
Goode and Okuneff took turns
kicking and Goode, when relaxed
and seemingly not bearing down
had the best distance.
The squad was so stiff ano
sore today the coaches eased ur
a bit on the physical work, al
though this was the day the
players were supposed to reach
their peak. Not all made 1t. The
first scrimmage is set tomorrow
j NOTES Tom Louderback, Sar
Jose State lineman. has received
his official invitation to the Col.
