Los ANGELES. Aug. 2 F.-
It's still early, but Coach Sid
Gilman Of the Los Angeles Rams
says he believes his ball club is
going to have a good pass defense
this season.
The Rams lost several games
last season because of the sieve
like quality of their aerial de-
lfense and gave up 2.567 yards
and 129 first downs to enemy
ipassers. The Rams ranked ninth
among the leagues dozen teams
in pass defense. having inter-
cepted only % passes.
Gilman said he was pleased
with the pass defense work of
his men in the opening practice
game last Saturday against Fort
Ord. "On -one play I counted II
Rams there or Whereabouts after
the receiver caught the ball. Last
year, the pictures show. there
generally were 10 guys standing
around watching one guy max
/ ing the tackle" he said.
Our backs were betting those
Fort Ord receivers so hard and
often that some of them looked
like they were getting gun shy"
/ HIRAM. Ohio, Aug. 2 R.-
Coach Paul Browns has cut prac-
tices for his Cleveland Browns
from two-a-day to one. TOO
hot" he explained.
Brown said he was more wor-
ried about getting his men tired
mentally than physically. Be-
sides that, the offensive team is
showing some rough spots.
