Togetherness,
Pro Grid Style.
By MORRIS SIEGEL


GEORGE PRESTON MARSHALL the last man in pro
football to ntegrae his team yesterday became the first
to ingrate the squads practices In the midst OF host
of Redskin rooters Marshall brought along Art Model,
president of the Cleveland Browns watch the Redskins
work out for Sundays embrace with Moders Browns.
Bill McPeak who resents ntrusions, didn't appear to
be upset He probably thought Model just another
newspaperman. Our presence doesn't disturb McPeak
He trusts rampant lack of knowledge His faith in
football ignorance paid off again last Monday One
of the brethren not this newspaper cast vote for
lneman who played of his worst games as the out
standing Redskin in last Sundays loss to Dallas.
The presence of Model, the tigerish young head of
the Browns was bit unusual but Model assured us we
need have no Even if told Paul Brown what
saw" Model said, she wouldn't believe me-"
MODEL WASN'T MAKING a funny with his remark.
It's true The estrangement of Eddie Fisher and Liz
Taylor or of Nikta and Chou En-lai is gorgeous ro
nance compared to the lack of simpatco between Model
and Brown
Model says the differences between himself and
Brown unchalenged head man and policy maker until
Model stepped in two ago, mot rreconcabe
Close observers of Ceveands hot nramural agree
but insist the only way the two will become chummy
is for Brown to accept another coaching job.
n Model an energetic bouncy 38-year-old graduate of
the TV jungle doesn't deny there's thing" between
himself and his coach-general manager He merely dis
agrees as to the degree of their unfondnes for
other.
"Is it cleavage?" he was asked.
re That's your word you said that" he smiles
BIT "How about NICE diplomatic, Madison Avenue term
like area of difference? Settle for that Art?"
e "Ill buy it," he snapped
IT'S DIFFICULT TO BULLSEYE exactly what the
feud is all about Mediators the scene theorze that
Brown who never was bossed in his first Is years at
Cleveland resents Modells refusal to be nonplaying
president like his predecessors
Ar Model asks questions and wants answers, not on
technical and coaching matters but about personnel dis
tribution and administrative decisions Brown apparently
doesn't like the idea and regards the restless Model as
intruder forgetting that Model hooked his life savings
to buy into the Browns.
. Model who once packaged daytime Tv shows,
bitten by football bug years ago when he watched his
first love- the Brooklyn Dodgers play in EbbetS Field He
still call off the of those Dodgers squads.
D "his is an emotional game, Model says, land Brown
is either unwilling to incapable of dealing with the
human element involved" 81.
" THIS WOULD INDICATE that either Model or Brown
has got co. is in fat contract of about
$50 900 year which still has six years to rum Model is
determined and confident he'll the show off the field
There been suggestions that Browns license as
genius has expired and he's experiencing considerable
difficulty getting it renewed whatever differences
have Model interrupted haven't affected PauS coach
ing ability But we have won only division champion
ship in the last six years Before that we took six in
row. Maybe are stagnant."
Marshall, whose ant-Brown feelings are older and
probably intense than Modells thinks the young
whippersnapper from Cleveland is great addition to pro
football Marshall liked Models unique doube-header
which attracted about 10000 in Cleveland He also likes
Modelrs promotional flair
"Art is good for our league" Marshall has said many
times "e keeps the customers in mind at all times and
that's how it should be-"
ONE OF ARTS "areas of difference" with Brown
concerns Ernie Davis Model who signed him. says the
doctors have okayed Davis to play and he should be
playing Brown far has refused to permit Davis to work
out with the team, only alone. On this matter Brown
won't bulge.
Another charge that he shuffes players back and
forth without consulting Model.
In the Cleveland press book of 1860 the year before
Model, there almost four pages devoted to the life
times and accomplishments Of Paul Brown.
In the 1861 edition there less than two pages
the press guide about him. Model is UNDERSTANDABLE
Jealous of the author who whitfield Brown down so per
cent in season.
