10 years ago when virtually all the colleges had football
teams coaches stock clche that busted of and
used before road game against heavily favored
opponent
Were not going just the ride" they'd say. flashing
grim knowing look that bespoke the devils trouble
for their hosts
They really did go the ride course and chance
to whoop up with old friends But 1t made reasonably
good copy for dull day and gave the team charge that
lasted at least until the opening KICKOFF.
Kuharich says the thing about the Redskins
impending trip to San Francisco for Sundays first of
the But the coach has couple of
for his feeng-or at least he had them until wave Of
injuries hit the squad recently Before that it appeared
that while the FortyNners might ouruSh the Redskins,
outpass em and outscore EN- they didn't figure to outrn
them.
Next Francisco Kuharichs second home the place
where he the greatest triumph of his coaching

1851 team Joe hasn't game in that city since and
his pride has been ncked.
MORE IMPORTANT, HOWEVER, are the notes about the
Forty-Niners received by Redskins Hugh McEhenny

With those two out it would that the Redskins
ought have chance However Kuharich hard pressed
for fuback since it learned that Leo Filter has

time in Tijuana"
THE REDSKINS HAVE planned long and we'll for this

for the Redskins seem to have the markings Of fair defensive
line and the Forty Miners still have Tonef Marion
Campbell and Leo Nomellni-an $50 pounds-in the
middle of the line TIN take derrick to them
Joe feels that II they handled for minutes they
can be handled for so.
They've still got those good pass-catching ends"
Kuharch noted and we'll have to stop them by getting
tY A. Title before he gets the ball away But we aren't
conceding anything If he does We how we'll our
boys will do They haven't been tested yet and they might
surprise u.s."
Extensively, Joe points that Bones Taylors absence
at end won't be noticed much this time because the
retired pass-cacher injured early missed most
of last years league with the Forty Kuhach

mate was at this time year ago. Zagers Job is to fill the
mole left by Wells. who now is in service.
Kuharch thinks at least couple Of the Redskins new
