Dealing in Aces

ALL OF A SUDDEN the REDSKINS SO am 10 have gone
into the business of collecting Al-Amedcans Within
fourday period prior his departure for California and
the training season. Coach Joe Kuhariuh picked up
couple more-Johnny OlSzewski and Jim Weatheral-to
go with Ralph Guglielmi
I'VE didn't trade for these boys because Weatheral
happened to be two-tme A-American atNOklahoma and
oszews twotimer at California Joe was saying before
his fight from Washington I'VE traded because needed
them Personally, think both wonderful bargains
We didn't give up much that we could use.
True Weathera and Olszewski college hot-shots
some time ago The big tackle Weathera has played in
the National Football League three years and Oszewsk
five, which led to the question:
could it be that something is wrong with weatheral
and Olszewsk-a bad knee slipped disc, f instance?
Or could be trading youth for age in about bid
for title?"
KUHARICH, A LARGE, gentle-but-tOugh t|pe, shook
his head
Both are sound" he said. Furthermore they not
old top of everything else trade for what you
might call old players.
mo, never is long time. If we should happen to
need couple of crucial late in season to- win the
title and something happens to key man, I'd welcome
veteran playing out the string he could help U.S. But
don't trade for players who are going to be in the league
for only short time.
For example we probably could have landed Ray
Krouse just went from Detroit to Baltimore But
know that going to play only year or two more
"Weathera isn't quite g. He's been picked on tive all
pro team Js been on the Pro Bowl squad He cam play
ofense and defense. Definitely he's our No. defensive
left tackle" A.
THERE ARE OTHER BEAUTIES about Weatheuan,
enhuses Kuharich Hell be playing next to Gene
he'll be on Britos right Sounds good doesn't up Anotoe
thing If anything happens to Brto this fellow can pay
defensive end-the same position
I'VE gave Don Owens for him. Don is only Slightly
younger But Don isn't experienced nor Is he as fa
as weatherall like the deal"
And the Olszewski deal?
"If anything bigger bargain" Joe saying I'VE
gave Ben Preston neman who played for Auburn last
year good prospect too otherwise we wouldn't nave
drafted him. We also gave the Chicago Cardinals draft
choice-not a very high one.
preston is % years DID, rookie. How many first
year men fit into any pro clubs pattern right of the oat
Oszewski is 81 and because he hadn't been IN military
service he's a fve-year veteran"
RACK IN OISZEWSKI'S college days they used to call
him Johnny O. II fan OF Johnnys, kunarlcn says
81 saw lot of him when coaching San Francisco
and Johnny was playing for California He still holds the
Pacific Coast Conference groundgainng record OF more
than $500 yards"
When Kuharich was coach of the pro Cardinals In
1858 he drafted Oszewski No l. 1.-TWO years ago. Joe dis
closed, q" approached the Cardinals on oehalt OF he
Redskins but they didn't want to give up OlSzewSki
But in pro ball, situations change. The Cards now
have John Crow from Texas A&M and Chldress and
Hammack for fubacks and, apparently they felt they
needed young lineman
Kuharich went II coached him in the 1856 Pro Bowl
Some might say he doesn't do all that people claimed he'd
do pro. Well don't know Two years ago he carried
57 times for SGT yards for the Cards He's the Cardinals
atime fuback ground gaining and they've had some
good ones. Pat Harder, for one"
IN THE REDSKINS STYLE Johnny will do more
things than with the Cards, Kuharich He'll carry
the ball outside plays" Joe was predicting Hes
good pass-catcher and very good blocker.
I'm short, oszewski and Don Bosseer give two top
ullbacks. Maybe Johnny is faster than Bosseer One
thing about having those two the cubthe quarterback
won't be forced to change his style of attack because
BoSseer and oszewSk can do the same things
I'm not collecting AlAmercans for the sake of COL
Letting names All I'm trying do is get aggressive dedi-
Gated ball players not just IA 49, as we've had in the
past I'm not predicting any title but I'll say this looks
like the best group I've taken to training camp
been with the Redskins"
AS he boarded his plane You'd have say that big Joe
looked happy and optimistic as he'll allow himself to
look
