presented. and he gave the inn
preston that he would Jump at
the first chance.
Today Kuharich said he had
carefully thought out his plans
for the immediate future and
that his signing was pred
icated on a lot of situations"
He indicated that he expects
to have a rather free hand in
handling the football team.
Raised Clubs Status
"Mr. Marshall and ! will work
hand in hand. as we've always
done" Kuharich said. I'VE have
an understanding Of what has
to be done to build a good foot
ball team. That's our only
aim-to build the best team"
During his four years at the
Redskins helm, Kuharich
raised the team from the status
of doormat to title contender.
His record. % victories against
Is defeats and one tie, does not
accurately reflect the teams
improvement.
Kuharich took over in 1854
after Lambeau was dismissed
following a dispute with Mar
shall in Sacramento, Calf.
With that hand-me-down team
Kuharich won only three
games, but the following sea-
son, after many changes, the
Redskins finished second in
their division with an ga
record.
/ Kuharich was given the
authority to offer three-year
contracts to his three assist
ants = Backfleld Coach Mike
Nixon, Line Coach Dick Evans
and End Coach Joe Tereshinski.
1t is presumed that all three
will accept quickly, and there is
a chance that fourth assist
ant will be added.

received a substantial increase
over his old three-year contract
which had one year to run
There were estimates that Ku-
harich's old contract called fol-
$17,50O.
Il think it's a fair contract"
Kuharich said.
The one-time Notre Dame
lineman, who succeeded Curley
Lambeau as the Redskins
coach under most dramatic
circumstances in August. 1854
thus finds himself in position
to serve the longest tenure OF
any Washington coach. Ray
Flaherty, who directed the
team to league championship:
| in 1937-the teams first year
in Washington-and again in
1912 before resigning to enter
the Navy, was coach for six
years. If Kuharich completes
his new five-year term he will
be here nine years.
More Authority
The length of the contract
came as a surprise. At a new
conference, Marshall explained
that pro football coaching hal
become "a 12-month job" anC
that a coach needs more sta
bility and security.
Marshall pointed out tina

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. s.
Cookie Lavagetto says he'll use
his Oh o test hitter of the
moment behind the Senator's
smuggling Roy Sievers through
out the season, alternating his
talent in an effort to put pitch
ers in predicaments if they
walk the leagues home run
champion.
Sievers likes the arrange
ment. "I'll settle for the same
figure I had last season (42
home runs. ia runs batted i'm
and like it," Roy said. I'm fact,
I'd lake a measly little old 40
homers. But seriously, if some
body behind me is busting the
ball it figures to help me.
IF there's a weak hitter be-
hind me in a close game" Roy
continued, they're liable to
walk me or at least make me &c
for their pitch. If there's
danger behind me in the bat
ting order those pitchers will
be less likely to put me or
base"
More Chances to Swing
Sievers led the club in bases
on balls last year with rs, not
particularly high for a clouter
with a weak club, but Lavagettc
wants no increase.
IF Roy's swinging, he can
break up a game" Cookie said
land if we can keep a hot
hitter behind him he'll gel
more chances to swing"
Lavagetto said it will be Har-
mon Killebrew, Jim Lemon OF

the role unless one of them
sizzles from the outset and re-
mains effective. IF one Of them
can hold the job that'll be
wonderful" Cookie said. but
otherwise we'll switch 'em ir

Lemon batted only .284 last
season but he thrived in those
70 games when he batted be-
hind Sievers. He was a .30S
hitter in those games. Clint
Courtney batted only .245 in q
games when he followed Roy
