BY MERRELL wHITTLEsE1

Jim Tatum was not as clipper
as might be expected on his re-
turn yesterday from coaching
clinics in Hawaii. Japan and
Alaska.
Every once in q while, the con-
versation would switch from his
travels to football, and when it
did that would remind the Mary
land coach Of Fred Lee, the re-
serve back who was killed in an
automobile accident while Tatum
was away.
We've never had a finer boy
on our squad" Jim said, speak
ing in a non-football sense.
"And only the coaches know
how much Wen miss him as a
football player. He was going to
make great quarterback out Of
Lynn Beightol."
Tatum explained that under
next seasons method of substi-
tuting, Frank Tamburello would
be the No. quarterback and his
relief would have a combination
of Beightol on offense and Lee
on defense.
Fast as Halfback
"And If we wanted to keep
Lee in the game on offense," T"
Tatum said, ''he was a better
than average left halfback. Not
as experienced nor as heavy as
the top left halfbacks, but he
was faster.
Tatum added that Lee, q
transfer from Potomac State,
could have been the top quarter
back on some split-T teams he
could name.
One Of Tatum's companions
on the 30-day junket was Paul
Bryant, whose Texas A8SM team
plays UCLA the week before the
Bruins come here to play Mary
land.

His greatest hitting streak was

Redskins potential this season.
That test will come August Z,
when the team invades San
Francisco to play the Forty
Miners in the first game of the
preseason tour. and there could
be numerous changes between
that one and the first league
game.
Kuharich and George Mar
shall. president of the club were
on the telephone again yester-
day, talking to the Pittsburgh
Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and
Los Angles Rams about possible
deals, but nothing came of the
conversation. It is a long time,
however, until September IS
when league play begins.
Tonight's game could decide
whether Dorow or LeBaron gets
the starting quarterback assign
ment against the Forty-Niners.
It may show whether Scudero
or Zagers can get free and have
enough speed to be the break
away runner needed on offense,
and it. will give the coaches a
better idea of how much prog
ress they've made in plugging
gaps in the line, and of how
badly they need offensive ends.
They have a good idea, of course,
but game conditions might show
UP few things they've missed.
Hopes to Avoid Injuries
Kuharich hopes to get through
the night without a serious in
Jury. mtra-squad games in the
past have hurt. Andy Farkas,
Roy Zimmerman, Bill Ward,
Dick Todd and Monk Morris are
a few ex-Redskins who have
emerged from such tests with
bad injuries. Morris. a promis-
ing back, never played with the
team again. Farkas missed al
most an entire season and Ward
and Todd never were the same
the rest of the years in which
they were hurt.
This is the seventh East West
game, dating back to 1941 when
the idea was originated at San
Diego. The box score is even
with three victories for each
side. The last was in 1948 when
Tommy Mont. now an assistant
coach at Maryland, quarter
backed the East to a 1924 vic
tory over the West, with Sammy
Baugh at quarterback.
Tonight's game will be played
for the benefit of the Hollywood
Boys Club, and sponsors hope
to draw at least 10000 fans.
