these two weeks, are three
Australians, a South African, an

They are Malcolm Anderson,

Indian Has Potential
Krishnan, despite his COM

the potential for greatness stir

A word or two about the others
might fill in the picture. Let us
begin with the three AuStral-
ianS-Cooper. 49, Anderson, %,
and Fraser. %.
Cooper, blond, and Anderson,
dark, play similar types of all
around games, with emphasis
on service and volley. But these
two lean youths hit good ground
strokes and can win points from
the backcourt as well as at the
net. Cooper was No. and An
derson No. 9 in the 1855 Au-
Stralian rankings.
Fraser Good But Erratic
Fraser, ranked fifth. is an
other proposition. He has one

Jackpot for Getting Stors
Recalled by One Former Ram
.irephotoS.

Los ANGELES. Dec. 20 (R.-
Whether or not professional
football condones roughness
against key players was a moot
question here today in the wake
of Quarterback Bobby Layne's
conclusion in the Lions game
against the Chicago Bears last
Sunday.
One former Los Angeles Rams
player, who declined use of his
name, said that from 1851
through 1858, every quarterback
in the National Football League
was a target land the guy who
got the quarterback out of the
game got a jackpot that we all
donated to-"
But that doesn't mean we
wanted the quarterback out of
there Illegally" the player told
Jack Geyer, Times football
writer. 1T was just real good
hard tackling to put him on his

back. The coaches were aware
of it."
Joe Stydahar was coaching
the Rams in 1851 but was sue
ceeded by Hampton Pool. Both
formerly played with the Chi
cago Bears. Pool still lives here
but was unavailable for COM
ment.
The player pools, the former
Ram said, usually ran about $40,
with each player putting in a
buck or So"
II don't recall any player be-
ing knocked out of a game" he
said. but there were many in
stances Of a lineman getting q
small bonus every time he put
the quarterback on his back"
Several players who were with
the Rams in the early SOS de-
MED the existence Of such pools.
I'm my eight years with the
Rams. there never has been any
effort to hurt someone illegally, /"

said Elroy (Crazylegs) Hirsch,
star end. II can say in all
honesty that If a team has a key
player such as Bobby Layne of
Detroit, another club will put on
an added effort to stop him."
The Los Angeles players were
questioned after Norb Hecker,
once a defensive back with the
Rams and now with the WASH
ington Redskins, was quoted in
the Capital saying the Rams
once organized a pool to stop
Layne. Hecker said he didn't
accuse the Rams of dirty foot
ball.
Layne was shaken up in the
second quarter of the Lions
Bears game for the Western d.
vision title. Ed Meadows, who
made the tackle, was accused of
dirty football by the Lions presi-
dent. Edwin j. Anderson, who
demanded that Commissioner
Bert Bell outlaw Meadows from
the league.

stake than a tie for second place,
even though in round figures it
could mean as much as a couple
iof hundred dollars per man.
There has been so much talk
about dirty playing, for example,
a fellow can't help thinking about
it. even though much of it is just
talk.
Norm Van Brocklin, who has
been throwing footballs at fellow
Los Angeles Rams for eight
years, couldn't verify a report
that the Rams had gotten UP a
pool to be paid the one who
put Quarterback Bobby Layne
out of action.
"Of course" the amiable
Dutchman added facetiously, II
was on the offensive team-I
didn't play defense"
But if such a pool existed, the
ii men. on the defensive unit
hardly could have kept it secret.
Dutch surely would have known
about it.
Il would think So" Van
Brocklin said, but / certainly
never heard anything like that"
Then. pursuing the Layne in
cident at Chicago Sunday, which
created a furore around the
league, Dutch said he thought he
knew what happened to Layne.
Bobby got rid Of the ball."
he suggested. land was standing
there counting his change. He
ought to put his head on a swivel
and have a look around"
Dutch said from what he heard
Ed Meadows Of the Bears might
have been penalized Is yards for
unnecessary roughness, but MOTH
ing more.
Another fellow said he thought
Layne should have protected him
self at all times.
IF he wanted to watch the
play" added our friend, why
didn't he buy a ticket and sit in
the grandstand?"

One brief thought about the
players union is this:
That 1t may come eventually, but
it'll be a long, uphill battle. Com
missioner Bert Bell of the NIL
has publicly stated that he won't
discuss the matter with any
lawyer or. anybody else. II any
players have grievances they can
come directly to him, Bell said,
but nobody else.
Bert may change his tune. of
course. But when it comes to that
green stuff, the owners will be
tough to crack. If the players
think they've got a high-powered
offense wait'll they see the de-
Tense those owners have when it.

ATCHISON'S
ANGLE
BY LEWIS r. ATcHIsoN

The Redskins, and particularly
Coach Joe Kuharich and hi.
aides, have our sympathy thil
week.
First. they've got to work 9
week longer than everybody buI
the Colts. whom they play in
Baltimore Sunday in the last
regular league game. And with
rumors flying about the proposed
players union, dirty football
coaching changes. ETC., it must
be hard for a player to keep his
mind on the game.
There's no question that Coach
Weeb Ewbank is on thin ice in
Baltimore and gossip mongers
say only a convincing victory over
the Redskins will save his job.
One fellow told us that Don
Kellett would step down as
president and general manager
to become coach--and he was
serious. There is another report
that both Ewbank and Kellett
will get the axe. regardless OF
what happens Sunday, but this is
Just a trif1e too much to swallow
The Colts have done all right
at the gate, which is Kellett's
department. They expect be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 for Sum
days game, which ought to tide
the club over the Christmas hol-
idays. And. speaking Of finances.
the report that the Colts will
pay a blanket bonus to all hands
has been secuted by Mr.. Kellett
himself. There may be a few
merit bonuses. but not a general
pay day.
Thus. Kuharich must send his
ailing and patched up team
against a Colt squad that may
be full of Christmas spirit and
determined to save old Weeb
from the coaching guillotine.
1t doesn't take much to get the
Colts excited about a game with
the Redskins, and it takes even
less with the fans. It's bad
enough to play the Colts with a
full and healthy complement Of
men, and in its present physical
condition the Washington team
falls to qualify on both counts.
Still in the rumor department:
Another source has Jim Tatum
leaving North Carolina. where
Tar Heel guerrillas have been
sniping at him. and taking over
the Colts coaching job. But this
is old hat with Jim, whose name
just naturally hobs up every time
. post becomes vacant.
DuTtng the off-season there
probably will be a slew OF rumors
In the same vein about Kuharich.
Joe says he hasn't received any
ofters yet but thatJwhen he does
receive one he'll make no secret
Of it. II the popular Redskins
mentor isn't mentioned for at
least q half dozen college vacan-
cies In the next six weeks it'll
be a surprise.
Meanwhile. Joe merely wants to
finish the season in the style to
which he Is accustomed, by put
ting . good, sound football team
on the field.
It's almost impossible for a
player to concentrate on a game
with nothing more important at
