REDSKINS
Continued From Page Al;

despite the seemingly unending
succession of errors.
What are you going to do
when a boy throws a bad pass
or loses the ball-tell him that's
all, that's the quickest way in
the world to kill boys conf
dence. Ralphs a good football
player and he wasn't response
BILE for a lot of things that went
wrong"
Eddie LeBaron's tumble in
the second quarter gave the
Rams a touchdown and a 100
lead on the second play of the
period. But instead of rolling
over and playing dead, the
Redskins rallied and fought
back to gain a 1910 halftime
tie. Kuharich liked that.
Many Mistakes
The mistakes Kuharich re-
ferred to we're such things as
missed blocks, which veteran
linemen fouled up, passes
thrown to men well covered
while another Redskin was
wide open, and missed assign
mentS by secondary backs.
The only score earned by the
Rams without an assist from
the fumbling Washin G o n
eleven was Paige Cothren'S %
yard field goal that followed a
57-yard advance to the Red
skins 14-yard line in the first
period. Billy Wade, making his
debut as Norm Van Brocklin's
successor at quarterback for
Los Angeles, had to settle for
three points when the Redskins
got through deep in their own
territory.
Our defense didn't lose the
game" Kuharich said. THE
offense gave it away by its mis-
takes"
The victors' first touchdown
followed LeBaron's tumble. Ed
die was hit on the 29-yard line
and Larry Morris came up with
the ball for the Rams on the
10. Two plays later, Wade
rolled out around left end be-
hind Duane Putnam and Bill
Jobko for the score.
The Redskins scored all of
their points in the second quar-
ter when Sam Boxer kicked an
18-yard field goal after Johnny
Allen recovered Tom Wilson'S
tumble on the Rams IS, and
Sid Watson sliced through
tackle for five yards to end a
50-yard touchdown drive.
BOSSeler Breaks Nose
LeBaronS 13-yard pass to
Don Bosseler and 15-yard toss
to Johnny Carson, plus the
line jabbing of Bosseler and
Jim Podoley, featured the
touchdown march. Bosseler
broke his nose near the end of
the half and did not play the
last two periods.
The Rams made it 1910 in
the third period when Wade
threw a 33-yard pass to Jon
Arnett in the end zone, after
Wilkins recovered Guglielmfs
tumble on the Redskins 81
Wilkins, defensive rookie end
from Georgia, was in the Red
skins hair all night. He,
personally, made it 24-10 early
in the final quarter by picking
off one of Guglielmi'S losses and
sprinting 20 yards to the goal
line. Moments later he set up
the Rams final touchdown by
on Oleszewski's tumble
on Washington'S 80.
Some Bright Spots
On the credit side of the
ledger were such things as Dick
James savage tackling that put
both Maryland'S Ron Waller
and 6-foot-7 Lamar Lundy out
of action. James, coming up
so far from his deep safety po-
sition that he frequently beat
Wingback Doyle Nix to the
tackle, slammed into Lundy
head-on to break up a pass to
the towering ex-Purdue end.
The 235-pound Lundy had to be
helped of the field but the IT'S
pound James remained in &C
ton and later cracked Waller
hard enough to break the lat
ter's leather rib-guard case.
Fred Bruney, who came to
Washington from Pittsburgh,
played a good game at wing
back, but Nix, who came to the
Redskins from Green Bay. was
outsmarted on a couple of
passes.
Gene Brito was sorely missed
at defensive end, but Kuharich
preferred not to risk further
damage to Genes ankle. Line
hacker Bill Fulcher was anoth-
er who didn't get in, and Chuck
Drazenovich and Tavern Tor
geson, two Of the teams regu-
lar linebackers, only came in
for a few plays near the finish.
