Another Story on Pose AL
had been rearing to go since ar
irving in the Redskins training
camp a week ago, but Nixon
said NO"
Baker started punting last
Thursday and there was no
holding him yesterday. Even
so. Nixon allowed Sam to boot
only a dozen placements while
alternating with Norb Hecker.
Eleven split the uprights, the
farthest from 30 yards out. and
the 18th missed by inches.
II guess that's enough" Sam
said as his last good kick sailed
over. mo use OVERRIDING it."
Another favorable develop
ment in the backfield was the
pass-catching exhibition staged
by Vince (Chico) Gonzales of
Louisiana State. Gonzales. who
played most of last season in
Canada, made it look easy,
palming the ball like a walnut
without missing a step. He went
and got EN- at LSU, in addition
to running the ball. but has
figured in the Redskins master
plan more as a defensive back.
Must Lose Weight
Gonzales, however, has a
weight problem that may break
him down. He went on the field
weighing POI pounds yesterday
and Head Coach Joe Kuharich
insists that he get down to 1856.
He'll be faster, more alert
il he does" Joe said, land I
don't see how he can help us
if he doesn't"
Chico isn't arguing with the
boss. but says he weighed 1876
in college, although the pro-
gram carried him as 100. He
narrowly missed shoulder
separation when he fell heavily
last week. and is restricted to
light work, along with Half
back Dick James. 1t doesn't
help his weight, but Chico is
confident it will be no problem
once he is ready to go again.
And if he does other things as
we'll as he catches passes. he'll
be tough to overlook.
Meanwhile, Line Coach Dick
Evans had his first good look
at Ed Voytek. Purdue guard
who Joined the Redskins last
week after two days with the
Vancouver Lions in Canada.
Evans liked what he saw.
Voytek checked in at a trim
for him-240 pounds and i'm
mediately developed a slightly
pulled muscle in the left leg.
1t still troubled yesterday, but
he moved into the head-to-head
blocking drill with a vigor that
commanded immediate atten-
ton.
Good in Workouts
Evans put him. as well as the
other rockies, against J. D.
Kimmel and Volney Peters, the
supreme test for a Redskins
lineman. and Voytek didn't look
bad. He tore up things against
rival rockies. leaving the i'm
preston that once in shape and
familiar with the Washington
system he'll be top-flight.
Il like his action" Evans
said after the drill. land he's
big enough to move big men.
If he improves on what he
showed yesterday he'll be all
right"
NOTES-Chuck Drazenovich,
idle with a strained ligament
in his back. will resume run
ming tomorrow. Guard Bill
Finissi'S foot is responding to
treatment so slowly he is ready
to call it a day. Rookie
Will Renfro couldn't under
stand his ineffectiveness in a
blocking drill until told that he
nodded every time it was his
turn to hit the rival tackle.
Eddie LeBaron threw four
passes and one pitchout for his
part in Saturdays scrimmage.
. Lefty Freddy Wyant is
passing better than year ago
when his throws to the right
side were better than those to
the left. Rookie Linebacker
Ron Zatkoff may be the next
man cut. If he doesn't quit
practicing on the clarinet when
everybody else is trying to get
some shut-eye.
Washingtonians who visited
camp yesterday included Jerry
OLeary. jr.. Steve Novak and
Lew Swartzberg, retired tele-
grapher who handled scores
of sports events at Griffith
Stadium.
