Senator Barley, Democrat OF
Kentucky, last night told a law
group.
He was the principal speaker
at the third annual Law Review
dinner sponsored by the Student
Bar Association of the Washing
ton College of Law, American
University. Mrs. Barley is a
member of the university's board
of trustees.
THE legal profession has
greater responsibilities than ever
before" Senator Barley said.
If the bar ever reaches the
state it is unwilling to fight for
the rights of the people, our
liberties are in danger. But 1 dc
not think that time will come. -
Senator Barley said he has
always been proud of being a
member of the legal profession,
having been admitted to the bar
at Paducah. KY, in 1901. He
declared the legal profession has
played a greater part in the
development of democracy and
this Nation than all other pro-
LESSONS combined.
He said the American people

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. L.
When the Redskins asked jim
Tatum's advice about some Of
his football players a couple oil
years. ago, the University Of
Maryland coach obligingly went
down the line enumerating the
merits and faults Of senior;
eligible for the pro draft. Arriv-
ing at the name of Ralph Eel
ton, a fullback and linebacker
Big Jim paused.
This fellow" he said, may
be the best of them all. Hell
1 do a good job for you"
| Jim may prove to be an ex-
cellent prophet, for although he
has sent such good boys into
the National Football League as
Dick Nolan and Ray Krouse OF
the Giants. Pete Ladygo and the
Modzelewski brothers of Pitts
burgh, Jack Scarbath and Lloyd
Colteryahn of the Colts, to
name few. FELTON, rapidly is
developing into one of the best
linebackers in the league. And
linebackers can make or break
la teams defense.
If Ralph continues to i'm
prove he'll make all-league for
sure" predicts Mike Nixon, Red
skins backfield coach, who
usually doesn't confuse the deuce
of spades with the ace of dia-
monds. Hes playing his position
like an old pro-"
49,
FELTON, is more confident this
year, his second in pro ball, and
his ankles haven't given him as
much trouble as they did in his
rookie season. More important,
he's smarter, has picked UP a
few tricks of defensive play and
is more familiar with the backs
he's called on to stop. He learned
through his mistakes and by
listening TO Nixon,s advice.
In the first Eagles game last
year" FELTON, recalled, "they
were on our five-yard line and
spread the end. Pete Pihos, wide
My responsibility was to watch
the halfback. Skippy Giancaneili
but had a bunch they would
throw to, Pihos. They did and
/ knocked the bali down. On
the next play figured I'd inter-
cept the pass to Pihos, but this
time they faxed to him and
threw to Giancanelli for a
touchdown. It taught me to
mind my own business and fol-
low instructions"
Ralph had a terrible time
against the Cardinals in Chicago
trying to outguess a halfback
who was split wide. FELTON, hest
tated just long enough, trying
10 guess the play. to let him
get away. When the Cards came
to Washington Ralph was told
to go after him and crack him
before the play unfolded. He
did. with highly satisfactory
results.
In another game Abe Gibron
OF the Browns was giving FELTON,
a painful beating on a trap plav
before Nixon tipped Ralph how
to stop it. 1t was another chap
ter in a hard but well-learned
lesson.
FELTON, is diagnosing plavs
quicker this year, says Nixon.
and reacting better.
He'll be one of those backs
who can smell out a play and
be there to break it up" Mike
added. ut takes a real pro to
do that. Some of these players
try to guess what's coming, and
now and then they'll guess right,
but when they're wrong-oh,
brother. That's costly, and we
don't want any of that on this
ball club"
