The Redskins MAY show a pre-
view Of their first-string often
lsive eleven against the Colts to-
morrow night in Baltimore. al
Though Coach Joe Kuharich re-
serves the right to make a switch
without notice.
It is still a toss-up between
MARY Berschet and young Walt
Houston from Purdue at left
guard, and Charlie Jones Of
George Washington and Ralph
Thomas at right end. Since the
rules prohibit the use of Is men.
IKuharich will have to make q
decision. But regardless Of who
starts, both positions will be in
capable hands.
Rob Goode at fullback, Vic
IJanowicz at left half and Bert
IZagers of Michigan State at right
half round out a backfield that
will have Ralph Guglielmi In the
drivers seat. "Goog" has the
swing shift in the quarterback
department. but he. too, is draw
ling a bead o." a first-string job.
Redskins Release Nygaard
Don Boil and Fred Miller of
College of Pacific at the tackles.
Red Stephens from the Univer-
sity of San Francisco at guard,
Johnny Carson at end and

1.-THE tentative lineup.
The game viii be broadcast
over station WMAL at 1880 pm.
The Redskins released Half
back Norm Nygaard yesterday
after a quick look. canceling
their deal with the Los Angeles
Rams. Norm's 12-day layoff was
too much Of a handicap to over
come.
More than a few men who
seemed to have no chance OF
making the grade 10 days after
the start of training are still
around and a couple are going to
make the grade. One wasn't even
ISSUED pair Of game shoes, q
gentle hint that he'd be going
home soon. Such veterans as
Boil and Slug Witucki and Dale
Atkeson, a second-year man,
were slow hitting their stride
Then the picture changed and
now everybody Is in the act and
the coaches are stumped as to-
where to begin cutting.
A glance around the league.
which shows men like Hardy
Brown with the Forty Miners.
Johnny MARTINIQUE with Green
Bay and Alex Webster with the
Giants, is reason enough for
patience on the part Of the Red
skins. All belonged to the Wash
ington eleven at one time or
another.
Baltimore Line Rugged
The Colts this year picked up
Madison Nutter. 6-foot-4. 220-
pound defensive lineman from
Virginia Tech, who had brief
trial with the Redskins two years
lago. and he has a good chance
Of making the grade.
Baltimore's rugged defensive
line. featuring Gino Marchetti
and Don Joyce at the ends, 265-
pound Art Donovan and Tom
Finnin at tackles and Joe Cam
PAMELA In the middle, figures to
give the Redskins backs a bad
evening. For the quarterbacks,
however. nobody could be more
Furnishing than Leon Hart of
the Detroit Lions.
But the Redskins will be show
ing off their defensive unit for
the first time before home
town fans and it shouldn't |
look bad by comparison. It will
be good to see Gene Brito back |
at end, still standing cross
footed waiting for the play to
start. And in j. D. Kimmel,
rookie from West Point and
Houston, the customers will see
one Of the finest tackles to come
up to the Redskins in a long
time.
Dick Szymanski. rookie center
from Notre Dame. and Tackle
Art Donovan of the Colts are
down with a mild attack Of flu,
but Coach Weeb Ewbank thinks
both win be ready to play tomor-
row night. Szymanski, who was
mot expected to play pro foot
ball after being injured in the
Penn game last year, will replace
injured Johnny Rapacz on Of
Tense. Donovan is a key figure
in the Colts defense.
Ewbank also named Jack Scar
bath. former Maryland and Red
skins quarterback. on the start
ing team. but added that George
Shaw. Baltimore's bonuS choice |
