An interviewer, obviously distressed by
the Redskins collapse, wanted to know
more about this big bomb"
why, a paSs-catcher like Bobby Mitch
ell and passer," Allie replied, as if sur
priSed.
That" muttered the other, turning
away, lis what I was afraid he'd say"
=
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER is that
Mitchell hasn't been winning any games
IN the last five weeks with those early in
credible catches and dashes. AS for the
paSser, Norm Snead was yanked for the
second time this season in favor of Galen
Hall, who passed to Dick James fer two
touchdowns during weird final period
Inat made the score well, almost re-
spectacle.
Certain sources have suggested that as
soon as cool weather stiffens the magical
fingers of Mitchell he does not hold on to
the ball as in September and October. The
jury is out on that verdict. 1t has been
suspected these thoughts were planted by
Cleveland partiSans who were trying to
justify the trade of Bobby from the Browns.
But If 1t takes two to dance, it takes
two to complete the scoring pass Snead
hasn't been himself lately, but rather than
point an accusing finger at that young
man 1t would appear infinitely more ap-
propriate to suggest that yesterday, for
instance, horde of Giants was not helping
the pro sophomore from Wake Forest
BY WAY OF PREPARING themselves
for the likely NIL showdown against the
Western Division champs, people named
Rosey Grier, Dick Modzelewski Roosevelt
Brown, Andy Robustelli and Jim Katcavage
were throwing around little weight They
began to warm up in the second half, dash
ing Snead to the ground with monotonous
abandon and resisting the Redskin ball
carriers.
From the lay viewpoint the first and
final moments may have been the most
entertaining Of the entire day. A 1.-THE rookie
appropriately named Johnny Counts took
the opening kickoff and skittered 80 yards,
resulting in touchdown with merely IS
seconds of the game licked off.
At the very end Sherman became in
volved in verbal defense of zone of my
players" The prosecutor was Ed Khayat,
according to witnesses. Physically, it was
no contest. Sherman is a small person by
pro football standards, whereas Khayat (if
he was the antagonist was 245 pounds and
stood feet 4.
All of a sudden Modzelewski goo
pounds and Grier $500 arranged them
selves on each side of their slender tutor.
1t was like somebody pressing an endive
between two hunks of French bread and
calling it a sandwich.
No action was taken. 81 felt very
muscular at that point" Sherman con-
feSSed.

SIX SELECTED IN DRAFT
Senators Claim Duckworth,
Highly Touted 6-5 HurIer

Burt Hawkins, the travelling
secretary.
Brock resigned Immediately
from the Cleveland organiza-
ton and Joined the Senators
after assuring Gabe Paul, pres
ident and general manager of
the Indians, that he would not
reveal the Cleveland draft
plans to the Senators.
Brock is a 37-year-old bache-
lor and a graduate of the Uni
versity of Connecticut. He has
been in the business and farm
system side of baseball since
1919, when he started with CO.
lumbus, Ohio.
He served as business man
ager at Calgary and Alberta in
Canada, Eau Claire, Wis, Bax-
ley, Ga, and Dubuque and
Clinton, Iowa, before he was
named assistant farm director
under Hank Peters at Kansas
City in 1856.
Brock worked for the Ath-
letics for seven years, includ-
ing a term under Selkirk. He
was one of many baseball men
who toiled under owner Charles
Finley of the AS and were fired
without notice. The ak fell en-
Brock last January. Brock i'm
mediately was hired by Hoot
Evers, farm director of the IN
dams.
Selkirk said that he, Brock
and Tommy Cronin will ham
die the Senators farm setup
until a chain of minor league
clubs that will require q farm
director can be established.
Brock, like Selkirk, believes
the pressing need of the Sena-
tors is help for the parent club.
The farm Setup comes second.
Can't Wait to Start
81 believe we need two Glass
D clubs, one in B and a work
ing agreement with a triple-A
club next year, but we can't
stock any more" Brock said.
Brock has no experience as
a ball-player, but ne doesn't
think that is necessary In APP
praising talent. He said he was
delighted to be with Selkirk.
What a wonderful opportu-
nifty this is" he said. 81 can't
wait to get started"
The Senators almost assured
ly will make a major trade Ell

Hall Offers SoIace for Keeling Redskins
Licking by Giants
Drops Team to Sd
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIS0N
Star Stat Writer

It's small comfort after yes
terday's 1924 drubbing by the
Giants, but the Redskins feel
that their quarterbacking will
be in good hands for several
years to come.
Rookie Galen Hall gave them
that assurance by throwing
two fourth-quarter touchdown
passes to Halfback Dick James
after relieving starter Norman
Snead before a Sellout crowd of
1929 at D. c. Stadium. He
convinced them that he can
handle the job anytime Snead
has an off-day, such as yes
terday. Eventually Hall might
make a pitch for the No. !
berth. Both Snead and the
former Penn Slater are only %
years old.
Now, if Coach Bill McPeak
can solve such other problems
as punting, linebacking, pass
defense, and can rev up the
ground attack, he'll be in bust
ness.
Fall to Third Place
Halls heroics couldn't keep
the Redskins from tumbling to
third with a 5-4-2 record as
the Giants (9-2) all but
clinched Eastern Division hon.
ors. Another victory for Coach
Allie Sherman's men, or another
loss for Cleveland, will put the
Giants in the title playoff for
the second straight year. One
more loss also officially knocks
the Redskins out of it.
The Browns moved into the
rinnerup spot by powdering
Pittsburgh, 35-14, for a SAL
record. -
Halls performance didn't
threaten Snead's security as
the No. man. McPeak made
that plain. But some onlook-
ers feel that it may foresha-
dow the end of George Izo'S
career in Washington. Conf
dent that Hall can do the job,
the Redskins may use the for
mer Notre Damer for trade bait
in return for something like,
say, a good punter. And several
teams are interested.
The call for Hall went out
late in the third period, when
the Giants, who took command
in the first 16 seconds as
Johnny Counts scored on a go
yard kickoff return, stretched
their lead to 1910. 1t was a
gesture Of hopelessness. But
