IN NEW YORK THE DAY after the Giants aerial
bz of the Redskins Del Shofner who personally accepted
delivery on II of Y A. Titles pegs, being congratu
lated for his instant recovery from what originally
diagnosed shoulder separation.
Shofner banged up in the savage scrmmage with
the SteeerS and the Giants were told they'd have to do
without their best receiver for at least five weeks Two
weeks later he much present and overly active
against the Redskins How did he do it?
"The week after hurt" Shofner explained, 81
sitting the bench while playing the Lions.
That the game before the Redskins here told
the coaches before the game the shoulder wasn't hurting
I could play if they needed me.
I'm the last quarter they decided to put in for
test of the shoulder If got hit and hurt they knew that
it If got hit and didn't get hurt it would be better
"Wel got hit all right but you know it didn't bother
at all. I knew then and there in the Detroit game
although played only two downs that ready again."
In the face of this incontestable evidence, the
skins should strike the Detroit Lions off their Christmas
list They didn't hit Shoner hard enough to present
COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHES who are cuffed for
their big recruitment drives detour their critics by
pointing at the Russian basketball forces male and fe
male still scheduled to visit here Saturday
night
The SovietS bringing what undoubtedly is the
biggest basketball squad aSsembled-t numbers g.
players than most major college football teams
The spokesman for the sponsoring Big Brothers
admitted he didn't have the slightest idea why the Rus
slams bringing in many round-bau performers,
but they're coming and Big Brothers stuck about $ 900
worth for transportation and housing.
The size of the Russian forces thought reduced
considerably recently when it announced that their
S-foot center would not accompany the team on its
fvegame United States tour. To make up for the g.
fooers absence the Russians must be bringing four q
foot ceners They've gotta be doing something
with GA players.
