They've got to be a team

how much finger-tip pressure

kick against the laces. Those
things make a big difference,

LOS ANGELES. Aug. g.
Although fettered by a wave Of
minor injuries, the Redskins
scheduled a sneak preview to-
day of the offense they'll throw
at the Los Angeles Rams next
week in their 1857 debut.
Billy Wells. until yesterday
the only healthy right halfback
available. is temporarily side
lined while recovering from
the extraction Of two infected
wisdom teeth.
Wells ran a temperature of

first troublesome tooth was re-
moved. But 1t was decided to
go ahead with the second yes
terday and get 1t over with
and the former Michigan State
star was sent to the Occidental
College inflrmary to recuper-
ate. Billy is expected back in
action by tomorrow or Sat-
urday.
More Scrimmages Needed
Until the squad suits up
Coach Joe Kuharich said, il
will be impossible to say
exactly which players will be
used. Dick Stanfel, for example
wants to start at his regular
position at right guard, ever
though not completely recov-
cred from a groin injury Ray
Lemek is hopeful Of seeing
action at right tackle. and al
he got in some rough work
yesterday without furth Ell
damage to his knee, he may
play.
But the Redskins are at q
critical stage OF their training
and Kuharich, torn between
the need for scrimmage anc
the desire to avoid further
physical damage, is in q guam
dairy. It's a gamble either way
Line coach Dick Evans has
seen to 1t that his men have
had plenty Of hard contact
work. despite the injuries, with
gratifying results.
ITS the only way to teach
interior linemen TO block, D

1.-THE best play I ever made?
Well. at the time made it, !
thought this was something
special. I went into the hole
for a ball hit by Roy Sievers
and had no chance to throw
him out. So I tipped the ball
to Billy johnson. playing third
base. He threw out Sievers. But
l did it a few times more and
proved to myself it wasn't so
great, after all. Besides, you
need a slow runner to have
any hope of making that PLAY.
"One I'm proud of occurred
in l949 when the Red Sox came
here one game in front with
two games to go. We had 10
win that first game so we could
battle for the pennant on the
last day of the season. I helped
in that one late in the game
when AL Zarilla tried to steal
second. Yogi Berra gave me a
bad throw, but stabbed it
with a dive to my left. lunged
into Zarilla to make the tag
and held on to the ball as we
collided and rolled over and
over.
I'm that same series I missed
a chance for an unassisted tri-
pie play. The count was Sand

body out and runners on first
and second. They were of with
the pitch. heads down, and
Pesky slashed a liner over my
head. Triple play" I said to
myself as I went up into the
air. All I had to do was grab
the ball. step on second base,
then tag the runner coming
into second.

I had the dream play set up.
But when I took a couple Of
steps toward second I realized
I didn't have the ball any long,

it ripped the webbing right out
OF my glove. The webbing and
the ball were behind me.
1.-THE biggest bonehead play
OF my life was when I let Eddie
Stanky kick the ball out of nv
glove in the 1851 World Series"
Somebody interjected that it
could have happened to any
body and that it wasn't stupid
ity on Rizzuto's part.
1T was just plain dunbness."
Rizzuto insisted, because I
knew Stanky would be trying
to do it. I played against him
IN the Piedmont League and
in the American Association. I
knew the type of player he was.
He cured me of sliding head
first against him in the minors
when he tagged me between
the eyes and BACKED both of
them. And he'd have dirt in
both hands and toss it in my
eyes when sliding in on a close
play at second. He'd grab my
pants, quickly and emphatic
ally, to gum up my timing on
doubleplays and he'd do it so
expertly the umpires wouldn't
see 1t
yep, he was a smart one
and I was stupid to let him
get away with kicking that ball
out of my glove. l wouldn't
want my kids to play that kind
OF baseball, but Stanky was
smart. He knew all the tricks"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-The
subject during bull session at
the Redskins training camp

someone wondered if Sam Baker
would come close to matching
the II three-pointers he booted
last year.
Sam can be one Of the
greatest kickers in pro football, :"
volunteered backfield coach
Mike Nixon, who developed
him last year. Hes got every
thing and he'll have more con-
f1dence. yThere'S no telling how
many he'll kick or how far"
The secret of Sans success.
Mike said. is his coordination
and tremendous leg drive.
He locks his knee and
ankle properly" Nixon added,

keeps his head down and doesn't
try to beat the he'll out Of the

Children should be prevented

them.
Hunters should remove ammu-

A child under the age of IA

Hunters should be extremely
careful not to fire at any moving

that no person is in the line of fire.
Hunters are advised to wear outer
