Kuhorich Out to Bolster

No. pick two years ago. From

in next months continuation of
the draft in Los Angeles, the
coaches expect to find the men
to bolster the team.
Several members of the cur
rent squad don't expect to re-
turn. The uncertainty of the
game and lack Of security, will
deter a couple.
But most of those who had a
hand in the rally that brought
victory yesterday, after the Steel
ers erased the Redskins TO lead
and assumed a IT. advantage,
will be back. Red Stephens, a
guard from San Francisco, prob
ably best summed up the ma
jority's attitude.
Sure, I'll be back if they want
me-" Red said. Il didn't know
where We were going this year,
but I knew what Coach Kuharich
had done at the University of
San Francisco-he took that
team from nothing to a unde-
feated record-and I'm sure he'll
have winner here"
The only thing definite about
Kuharich's SO plans is that the
players must have the same
spirit and determination of this
squad. 1t was this "never-say-
die" attitude that brought EN-

run for the games first touch
down early in the first period,
and by Ralph Thomas leaping
catch of Eddie LIE Baron's IL
yard pass in the end zone for
the second.
Janowicz Breaks Team Record
The same get up and go was
evident in Vic Janowicz' 3-yard
smash for the Redskins fourth
and final touchdown, which, to-
gether with four extra points,
gave the former Ohio State ALL
American 88 points for the sea-
son. breaking Dick Poillon's
eight-year-old club record of IS.
Janowicz finished the season as
the second highest scorer in the
league, trailing only Doak Walk
er of the Detroit Lions, who
scored So points.
The third Washington touch
down was contrived by some ex-
cellent taking on the parts Of
LeBaron and Fullback Dale At
