BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN

Having found a quartet Of good
pass catchers in Johnny Carson,
Ralph Thomas. Norb Hecker and
Billy Cox, the Redskins will try
the fifth. and possibly the best
of all against the Colts at Bal
ltimore next Tuesday in Charlie
Jones. former George Washing
ton end.
Coach Joe Kuharich, who
named rookie Ralph Guglielmi as
starting quarterback for the
game, has said only that Jones
may be used" against the
Colts. But DIR. John w. Perry
significantly ordered the cast
removed from Charles hand yes
lterday and said he could play.
Dr.. Perry, Los Angeles physician
who attends to the teams medi-
cal needs in training camp. is
making the exhibition tour as
far as Baltimore.
X-rays made yesterday showed
that Jones fractured hand had
ENTHUSIASTICALLY and that
there was nothing seriously
wrong with other ailing men,
bers Of the squad.
Steps into Hot Spot
I
Jones is stepping into one Of
the hottest spots on the squad
lin trying to fill the shoes of
Bones Taylor, the greatest pass
catcher in Redskins history, who
lis reported in Toronto, signed
and working out with the Ar
gonauts. No matter how well
Jones does. critics will say
Taylor could have done 1t better,
but you couldn't fault him on
his work in yesterdays drill at
Georgetown.
The former Colonial wingman,
who blossomed into a star while
in the Air Force at Boiling Field,
has a good pair of hands, good
speed and more fakes than a
circus side show. In training
camp he caught passes with one
hand after his fractured hand
was placed in a cast. Yesterday.
using both hands for the first
time, Charlie snagged the ball
like an outfielder. And he Is so
tired of inactivity he's willing
to play with one or no hands,
and Kuharich will almost have
to give him chance.
Guglielmi's Turn to Start
Guglielmi will start the game
in keeping with Kuharich's
policy Of rotating the quarter
backs during the preseason
tour. Eddie LeBaron, who started
against the Los Angeles Rams,
VIII get the assignment against
the Chicago Bears at Memphis
Tenn, next Saturday night.
The Redskins are so well sup-
Piled with pass-catching ends it
seems only a matter of time and
timing before the aerial offense
clicks consistently. Throwers
and receivers are working on the
patterns and trying to synchro-
Inize their efforts, but with so
many changes during the trial
period 1t will be several more
weeks before they begin to show
the polish Kuharich expects.
Injuries Delay Runners
The same Is true Of the run
ming game. although injuries,
rather than teamwork, have hurt
more in this department. Norm
Nygaard, obtained from the Los
Angeles Rams only a few days
ago. Is being groomed as a right
halfback behind Bert Zagers.
who got his first chance en- Of
tense against the Lions. How
ever. Nygaard won't lie ready for
the Baltimore game. He hadn't
worked out for almost two weeks
before reporting 70 the Redskins.
Vic Janowicz has been handi-
capped by an injured achilles
tendon. Scooter Scudero is still
in California, recuperating from
his rib injury, and Jim Mona
chino Is nursing an injured knee.
These losses hurt, but Kuha-
rich still feels the Redskins have
good running power with Leo
Filter, Rob Goode, Zagers and
Bob Haner.
While injuries have slowed the
coaches efforts to polish the
Iattack the Redskins still have
enough go" to make it interest,"
ing for any opponent. Kuharich
has his fingers crossed, hoping
the squad will be at full strength
in time to smooth out the
wrinkles and get things in order
for the opening league game.
But the Baltimore game will
give the fans a fair idea of what
has been accomplished thus far
and it figures to ge good enough
to whet their appetite for more
