LOS ANGELES. August g.
A second = hand bathtub is
hardly the place to look for
more speed in a pro football

however. have pressed one into
service to loosen up Halfback
Sam Horner's legs, the stems
they're counting on to rev up
the running game.
Every day the bespectacled
former Virginia Military In
stitute greyleg climbs into the
7-foot porcelain tub that
Equipment Manager Kelly Mil
Ter rescued from a Los Angeles
junk heap several years ago
Horner then turns on the
portable whirlpool and relaxes
for Is or 20 minutes.
For some unknown reason
Sans leg muscles are as taut
as violin strings. He doesn't
have the blast-off he boasted
as a dash man on VMI's track
team, and his punting is suf-
fering. Oh, yes, he may do
some punting for the pros
this year.
Although the gentle, mas
saying action has helped Sam,
he shifts to the medcolator,
another of Trainer Joe Kuczo's
electrical gadgets, for more
vigorous therapy. But the tub,
purchased for SIS, is his
favorite.
II feel better since taking
the whirlpool every day." Sam
said. Il don't know what the
trouble is, if there is any. 1
don't hurt and have no trouble
running, but the legs feel
tight"
- &hS
At VMI. left-footed Sam did
all the punting and compiled
an impressive 41.8 average. He
also carried the ball 268 times
for 1893 yards, caught 81
passes for 312 yards and
scored 102 points.

Right now Quarterback Eagle
Day is tabled for the punting
chores again. He was shaded
for eighth place last year by
Cleveland's Sam Baker, a for
mer Redskin, with a 41,97
average to Bakers 41.98, and
Days booting seems to be
better this year.
But ther is an outside chance
that Coach Bill McPeak may
keep only two quarterbacks
and Day might be traded,
leaving the punting chore
open.

McPeak comedies, but Sans
a left-footer and that might
be advantageous to us. It's
harder to catch a left-footed
kick-they spiral the opposite
way-and we might be able to
work play or two off a fake
punt. You'd only get away with
it once, or twice at most, but
that once might win a ball
game for US"
Horner, who completed a
Six-month tour of duty as an
infantry lieutenant before re-
porting to training camp and
was named the most dis
tinguished military student"
at VMI, was the Redskins No.
2 draft choice a year ago. He
came with a glowing recon-
from Coach John
McKenna. =.
In a way the Redskins were
lucky to get Horner. They used
the Chicago Bears second
choice, trading for Linebacker
Larry Morris, who refused to
report to Washington.
The Redskins intended to
use Sam on offense last year
until a plague of injuries
forced Coach Mike Nixon to
shift Sam to defense. He says
he didn't care. and you know
he doesn't. -
He carried the ball only %
times for 80 yards last year,
and caught seven passes for
LOG yards. Sam carried the bah
only five times in the first
three games against the Colts,
Dallas and Giants. and didn't
run another offensive play for
the next six games. But the
Redskins used him on kick
off returns mo. / on the
squad with "a for 511 YARDS
and punt returns (three for
l6 YARDS to take advantage
of his speed.
If Sam has any serious
weakness it is his eyesight. He
wears ordinary, tortoise-shell
rim glasses in the morning
and contact lenses
for contact work. But when
the smog is heavy in Los
the contact lenses
make his eyes smart, and if
he drops one it's just gone.
Sam says if he dropped it at
his foot in the grass he'd be
lucky to find it.
Bad vision is one reason
Sam figures to do more run
ming than receiving with the
Redskins. It's so bad that
when Kuczo asked him to re-
move his glasses and read the
letters on the sign, Sam re-
piled, What sign?"

You're positive?"
"Yes sir. I figure I'd spend

Todate, Adventure Theatre has presented
% plays and briefer forms of theatrical pro-
duction. Among the most popular with the
kiddies. Of course, have been such fairy-tale
classics as "Rumpelstiltskin," Jack and the
Beanstalk" and Beauty and the Beast There
have been numerous innovations, too-"The
Witchs Lullaby" and The Purple Fam"
for example.
An outstanding feature of each presenta-
ton is the blending of original music and
dance with the spoken word. The stories thus
get maximum dramatic projection.
To bring the experience of the theater
even closer to their audiences, the perform
ers habitually invite the youngsters back
stage after the show to touch the props, solicit
autographs, examine costumes and talk with
the actors, just to see if they are real.
In Adventure Theatre. there may be no
Laurence Oliviers, no Helen Hayeses, no
white tie and tails. But the enthusiasm on
both sides of the foOtlights is every bit as in
