Dissatisfied Stors
Welcomed Here

MALTREATED FROM COAST TO COAST for the last
the Redskins can't be blamed for wondering whether this
socaed togeherness idea preached by the dogooderS
is anything but phOny phrase.
That they should have full-Scale mad against the
little world of the National Football League is nothing
but natural consequence as the result Of these pasngs
Nobody likes to get beat regularly
If there city in particular the Redskins cherish
less than their other tormentors it probably Phla
dephia, whose Eagles have cawed out six straight wins
Washington in threeyear span. There are other
franchises in Pete RozeeS household which boast similar
success over the Redskins, but Philadelphia is the only
precinct which still calls itself The City of Brothery
Love-" In the sx-game countdown it's been S0-S S414
1913, S4-2S, 147 and 2724 all Eagles That's brothery
r love?"
,at HOWEVER, THERE ARE SIGNS that the Redskins
could be persuaded to forgive and forget the spankngs
at the hands of the Philadephans 1t is quite possible
if things go well in the future they seem to be cur
rently, that from this "hatred" could become real
romance.
Developments indicate the failure of the Eagles to
promote Norm Van Brockn into the head coaching job
three years ago could the biggest break the Red
skins have gotten since they seeded from Boston The
local NFL outpost rapidly becoming haven for Eagles
alumni all almost distressed Van Brockin himself
that the "Dutchman" didn't get the job
The teed-off Eagles who have become happy little
Braves number left to right, Billy Barnes Bob Freeman
Eddie Khayat and Bob Peegrini. The "Dutchman" was
their man. their supreme leader and when Assistant Coach
Nick Skorch got the job Buck Shaw vacated this quartet
sang song of protest Some hummed It, others mumnled
it, but one shouted it loudly as he could That was
Peegrni the former Maryland lneman whom the Eagles
tapped as their No. 1 draft pick in 1885,
THE EAGLES TRIED NOT to listen to his protests
but when they continued to come even as late as last
year when Van Brockn already coaching at Mnne-
Soa the bosses stepped in and did what comes naturally
They traded the sung nebacker who asked to be sent
elsewhere He shipped to the Los Angeles Rams VINO

"Fine of geography they got said Pellegrin
who still looks like young Marcano. 81 asked to be
traded to some team in the East Los Angeles is EaS all
right, east of Hawaii"
Pellegrini beautifully built 40-pounder with the
agility of cat and the courage of wounded lion, lost
all desire to remain with the Eagles after Van Brockn
was passed by Nothing against Skorch who was his line
coach but Pellegrin thought did Van Brockn, that
Dutch got raw deal They promised him the loo wnen
they talked him out Of retirement why couldn't they
keep their word?"
IN PEILEGRnIIS RATING SYSTEM there's never
been finer leader more inspirational man 10 raly
around than the Dutchman HE won as many games
for with his calmnesS, his ability to take over wnen
the going got sticky he did with the I'd passes ne
threw" Pelegrni says.
"He was moody, often mad he suked, chewed you out
and he ran every scale in the emotional ladder but ne
also got the job done. We won under him. dont WeF we
didn't win without him. That's the proof
Three of the four "exled Eagles have stepped INTO
varsity Jobs with the Redskins Barnes already has proved
his WORTH Freeman defensive back, has been mJureo

Pleased with the luck they've had with this Quartet

Also would become disgruned with the Eagles They PROD
ably could find place for him, too
