Jim Kerr probably will re-
place Dale Hackbart in the
Redskins defensHe backfield,
and rookie halfback Leroy
jackson may be a spectator
again against the Browns to-
morrow at D. c. Stadium.
Coach Bill McPeak didn't
say positively" in either case,
but with second place in the
Eastern Division at stake he is
in no mood to take unnecessary
CANDLES.
The Redskins ticket office
reported an advance sails of
Al, 500 seats for the game and
everything points to a turnout
of more than $4,000. The
weather forecast is sunny and
mild.
Hackbart. hobbled by bone
chips in his ankle, looked slow
in yesterdays last heavy work.
out. In fact, Wingback Claude
Crabb. who was expected to
miss the game because of a
groin injury, looked better than
Hackbart. And Kerr has been
nursing a swollen ankle since
getting back on the active list
about a month ago.
Barnes Looks Good
JackSon's case is a little diff
ferent. The teams No draft
choice looked good in his brief
appearance near the end of
last weeks 1910 loss to Dallas,
and McPeak decided Leroy was
ready for more work. Yester- :,
day he had a change of heart.
1T would be a tough spot
to drop him into" the coach
said =" and Billy Barnes looks
awfully good. I think we'll go
with Barnes and If I see an
opportunity to use Jackson
will. But I'm not going to put
Jackson or anybody else in the
game just to be using them.
We're still in the race and
I've got to use the best COM
binations we have"
Bobby Mitchell, who scored
on a 50-yard pass play started
by Norman Snead to upset his
old teammates. 17-16, in the
second game of the season at
Cleveland. ran at half speed I
yesterday. McPeak told him
not to open up. Fred Dugan,
Snead's passing target on the
opposite side, did the same.
Dugan was in for only one play
against Dallas because of a
severe leg bruise, but Trainer
Joe Kucoz says he's ready.
Parrish VS.. Mitchell
The job of stopping Mitchell
tomorrow belongs to Bernie
Parrish. and after holding Phil
adelphia's Tommy Mcdonald
to two passes for a total of
five yards last week he's ready.
AS matter of fact, Parrish !
held Mitchell to two catches in
the first So minutes of the
game at Cleveland before Bobby !
broke away to ruin the after y
noon. Clevelanders point out,
however. that on that particular ;
play Mitchell lined up at half :
back, instead of as a TANKER, 1
which took him out of Parish's y
area.
And while the Browns are :
keeping an eye on Mitchell,
Dugan. Barnes, etc., the Red
skins have the job of stopping =
mighty Jim Browns rushes
and Frank Ryan's passes to 1
Rich Kreitling and Ray Rem :
fro. I
While Brown isn't running
wild as he used to do, the one
time Syracuse star Is still for
midable with SCI yards on 1879
carries. plus 26 pass receptions
for 318 yards. Jimmy has scor-
ed eight touchdowns and is a
threat every time he touches
the ball. McPeak has warned
the Redskins they've got to
hit him hard, quick and low
if they expect to stop him.
Kreitling, an All-American
end from Illinois. has latched
onto % catches for 399 yards, {
while Renfro has caught 81 for
403. They could have a field {
day against a secondary de-
tense that has given up 2,2I1
yards by passing.
Worst Of all. the injury that
knocked out Quarterback Jim
Ninowski for the rest of the
season and put Ryan in his
place may have been a blessing
in disguise for the Browns.
Ryan is a running quarterback
who was the leading ground
gamer against Philadelphia
with IS yards. He is most ef-
fective on broken" patterns,
when all potential receivers
are covered. That's when he
takes off-and he can run.
