ON A NIGHT WHEN Ralph Guglielmi
sat it out, Coach Bill BMcPeak used M. C.
Reynolds and later, Rookie Norman Snead
as his quarterbacks. For a while Reynolds
was bothersome to the Colts, partly be-
cause he was forced to ad lib. When he
found his receivers covered, which was
often, Reynolds darted and danced with
the ball under his arm, creating an un-
rehearSed play
Guglielnli knows how it is. Ralph has
been doing the same thing for years. Some
times it works but the days and nights in
variably wind up the same :. Goog eating
the ball much too often.
Reynolds ate the ball and Rookie
Snead, too, was to learn how it tastes. Bill
Anderson is an adept receiver-in fact,
he stands out like a sore thumb on the
Redskins-but he usually is one against
many. The Colts, for instance, can field
any number of crack receivers beginning
with Moore, Raymond Berry, Jim Mutschel-
Ter, Jimmy Orr and Mackey
1t is comforting for rival clubs to know
that the Redskins running attack isn't
much and that if they are patient, the Red
skins aerial game eventually will come their
way. No matter who is pitching-Gug-
lielmi Reynolds, or Snead-the ball sooner
or later winds up in the arms of defender.
On Saturday the Colts intercepted four
passes, one for a 49-yard touchdown re-
turn and it was not rare performance.
MOORE, FLANKER back of the Colts,
has got to be one of the real good top pros
of this or any other era. He is beginning
his sixth season and if the ex-Penn State
star has lost any of his speed it is not
noticeable. And any fractional foot lost is
more than balanced by experience plus a
superb and honed sense of timing.
This is a Willie Mays and a Mickey
Mantle of football. He may be developing
into a box-office draw all his own, over
shadowing even his sidekick, Unitas. Even
LennyS one-time detractorS, who felt that
Moore might be showboat type, have
capitulated.
When he lopes onto the field, wearing
those high, calf-length white outer socks
and the low-cut shoes taped to his feet,
Lenny calls up memories of SeabiScuit the
much -bandaged race horse. What once
was confused with exhibitionism has be-
come dramatic because his deeds match
his unusual coStuming.
With the remarkable changes of pace
he manages with his long, Spindly legs,
Lenny makes the outmaneuvering of such
as Doyle Schick appear easy. He is pleas
ure to watch and young Mr.. Schick need
not feel embarrassed. Moore has faxed
the shoes off better and more experienced
defenders in his day.

WxN LOSE OR DRAW
It's the Only Game in Town
BY FRANCIS STANN

ON THE TV SCREEN the picture from
Norfolk was routinely depressing. The
Redskins again looked to be a no-offense,
no-defenSe team in the At rout by the
Baltimore Colts. That whipping now makes
the Redskins O-3 for this exhibition season
and 0-13 over longer stretch.
Off what the Redskins showed - or
didn't Show-last Saturday night this al
most has to be long season Fortunately,
washington fans virtually are adversely
proof. It's been five years since the Red
skins finished with anything as noble as
500 record (6-6 in '56) and II years since
the baseball Senators wound up even or
better.
There is excuse for the 1861 Senators,
who are only little over eight months old,
but it is more difficult to absolve the Red
skins This is their 25th year in Washing
ton, and age doesn't become the operation.
Last year-When they were winners over
only the fledgling Dallas Cowboys - the
Redskins don't score enough to stay alive
in the National Football League race.
The minimum scoring requirement to
win among the pros is three touchdownS
per game. In the case of the Redskins it
probably should be higher, because they
haven't shown much defense, either, for
some time.
BUT AS IN CASE of the Senators in
their own season, the Redskins provide the
only game in town. The one side makes it
possible to wonder at Mickey Mantle and
Roger MariS and the other to observe such
as Lenny Moore, joy to behold.
Moore and Johnny Unitas are a show
by themselves. With casual expertnesS
they picked apart the green Redskin sec
ondary dts GltUuyS a green secondary =,
first on a 5O-yard scoring pass in the open
ing seconds and later on a 53-yard touch
down play.
Weeb Ewbank, the roly-poly Baltimore
coach, used his second stringers and
rockies generously and the Colts still were
superior. Lamar McHan, who is UnitaS'
underStudy, whipped a 54-yard scoring
pass to Dee Mackey, a Second-year man
from East Texas State. Mackey has no
more pro experience than Jim Wulff and
Jim Crotty, the defenders on this play but
he didn't become involved in any collision.
Crotty and Wulff did, with each other.
But the snapper was the Colts final
touchdown. 1t amounted to pure insolence.
Steve Myhra took position to kick routine
field goal Johnny Sample holding. Sample
is a defensive back, unframed as a paSser.
While the gullible Redskins were believing,
Sample arose and threw a 15-yard touch
down pass to Gino Marchetti who is the
best defensive end in the NFL but with no
reputation as a pass receiver.

more work but is far from
ready to take over the team.
Snead was criticized for
sending Sam Horner into the
line on a futile fourth-and-one
try on the Colts 15-yard line
in the fourth quarter. The
Colts, looking for the play, had
nine men on the line. Charlie
Conerly of the Giants pulled
the same boo-boo against the
Colts in the 1859 champion
ship game, using Alex Webster
as the ball carrier.
Reynolds Looks Good
Even so, it might have
worked if Horner had gone a
little more to the outside. It's
such things that make McPeak
realize how unprepared the
team is at this stage.
Snead is expected to continue
his pro education against the
champion Eagles Saturday at
Bristol, Tenn, and against the
Green Bay Packers, Western
Division champions, in the pre-
season finale.

Giants Deal

Scheffing Thinks
His Tigers Will
Beat Out Yunks
BY BILL FUCHS
Star Staff Writer

The Senators have no heroes
to put before the public these
days, so their followers are
looking elsewhere.
Rocky Colavito, who wears
a Detroit uniform, became the
apple of the Washington fans
eye when he poled four home
runs-three in the second game
into the leftfield bleachers in
yesterdays double header at
Griffith Stadium. The Tigers
won both games. IA and 10-1,
to extend WaShington's losing
streak to nine and to move
within two games of the league
leading Yankees.
A crowd of 10,542 sat through
the action and since they
couldn't find much to cheer
about on the Washington side,
they threw their support to
Colavito.
HOmers With Two On
Even when the Tigers were
leading the second game by a
mere 20 score, the chant went
up for Rocky to hit a second
successive homer. This was in
the fifth inning with two on
base, and the Rock obliged.
Colavito, who has a share Of
the record of four home runs
in one game-he did it at Bal
timore two years ago-said he
never had hit three in one
game before.
Except for spring training"
he said. Il did it twice there.

say I got any cheapies this
time. There aren't any in this

saw Ford nail down win No.

since Lefty Gomez got 26 in

Reliefer Roland Sheldon, who
had entered in the sixth.
1t was Looey's 18th rescue
