zIauers' Lead

Bert Zagers Of the Redskins
has the best record for running
back punts in the first SIX
games Of the pro football sea-
son. but he still hasn't made
the honor roll because of q
technicality.
A rule-of-thumh, followed
since the league began compil-
ing statistics. provides that
players must average at least
one punt return a game to
qualify for recognition in this
department. zagers, who didn't
play in the first game against
the Chicago Cardinals. has only
five returns. but his record OF
1856 yards, q 31,2-yard average,
Is better than everyhody's, in
GLIDING teammate Scooter Sou
dero, still officially No. !.
1t makes no difference that
Zagers wasn't around for the
first Cardinals game. He's still
got to make the average, but
he may get q chance to make
up the lost game against the
Baltimore Colts here Sunday.
Bert's 76-yard scoring run
against the Giants is the long
est registered in the league this
year. and nobody could fault
his 56-yard touchdown jaunt
against Cleveland last Sunday

Johnny Carson. Don Bosseler

also kept UP with the leaders in
their various categories.
For the sixth straight week,
Tom Wilson of the Los An
geles Rams leads the ball car
riers, although Hugh NIGEL
benny of San Francisco cut
into his margin. The Forty
Miners speedster also had his
Second-place margin shaved by
Jim Brown of Cleveland, whose
109 yards against the Redskins
landed him in third place. Don
Bosseler of the Redskins moved
into seventh place.
Johnny Unitas of the Colts
moved into fourth position
the pasSers, with a
chance to improve his rank
against Washington this week.
Clyde Conner of San Fran
cisco continued to top the pass
receivers, while Jack McClairen
Of Pittsburgh, who caught
seven against the Colts, jumped
from seventh to second place.
Carson. held to three receptions

fourth-place tie with Jim Mutt

Howton of Green Bay.
Baker. with a field goal and
two extra points against Cleve-
and, tied with Willie Galimore
Of the Bears for third place in
scoring. Bakers seven field
goals. a mark equaled by the
Browns Lou Groza, put him
next to George Blanda of the
Bears, who has kicked nine.
Sam also ranked ninth in
punting.
James was fifth in punt re-
turns and tenth in kickoff re-
turns.

4 Direct Connection Denied
The United States says there
is no direct connection between
this country's earth satellite
and missile programs. even
though both may be launched
by rockets which seem much
alike. But in this scientific field
the score is somewhat the same
as in missile tests.
The Navy. in charge Of the
Vanguard earth satellite pro-
] gram, has conducted two pre-
iiminary test firings Of COM
ponent rocket engines. Both are
described officially Is success
full. But increasing charges Of
delay in the Vanguard program
are being made in the wake OF
Russia's spectacular success.

States can offer is that q full
scale firing Of all three OF the
rocket engines viii be held In
December.
