the University of Kansas, is
proving 10 be the savior of the
San Diego Chargers and ap-
pears capable of steering them
into a red-hot title fight
against two prominent Ameri-
can Football League rivals,
Denver and Dallas.
The talented Hadl, who
showed so much soou after re-
porting that the regular quar-
terback, Jack Kemp, was let go,
threw two touchdown passes
and scored once yesterday as
the Chargers hung the first de-
feat of the season on the Dallas
Texans, 34-28.
The loss dropped Dallas into
second nlace in the Western

Denver. a Friday night winner
over Oakland, reaching the top
spot with a Al mark. San
Diego is now 81.
Houston stayed tied with

Eddie Meador, who is sort
of an up-to-date Arkansas
Traveller, journeyed 5000 mile;
this week end to disappoint
many of the 38,264 patrons
in D. C. Stadium yesterday.
The Redskins 20-14 victory
over the Rams was worth the
price of admission, but the
crowd no doubt wished TO SEE
Bobby Mitchell extend hi'
string of touchdown-pass re-
ceptions. He didn't, and the
man chiefly responsible was
Meador, a blond. husky product
of Arkansas Tech.
Meador, with occasional help
from veteran Lindon Crow
covered the left side on defense
for the Rams as no other Ma
tional Football League oppon-
ent has been able to in the
four 1862 regular-season games.
The result was that the Red
skins seldom tried to throw to
Mitchell in that sector, aiming
instead to Fred Dugan on the
other side most Of the after
noon. Mitchell caught three OF
Norman Snead's passes for 80
yards, considerably under his
average, and was shut out In
scoring for the first time this
fall.
Sometimes Double teamed
well, I'm proud of that,
Meador admitted with a drawl
and a grin in the dressing room
later. "I'll tell you that Mitchell
is a heck of a football player
We doubled him quite a bit
though-Crow and I and some
times Bobby Smith-when they
lined up strong TO our side"

BALTIMORE, Oct. B. Some
thing has happened to those
once-friSky Colts and the ques-
ton here is whether that gold
en- arm of Johnny Unitas is
beginning to rust.
For the first time in his bril-
liant seven-year career, Unitas
was benched yesterday while
the Colts bowed to the Forty
Miners, 21-13, for their second
loss in a row.

ME AND MY SHADOW
Meodor Keeps Reins
On Shifty Mitchell

Yesterday. On the same long
pass into the end zone which
Mitchell caught for an easy
score the week before against
the Cardinals, Bobby this time
had Meador with him like a
Siamese twin. The ball fell
| incomplete and the Redskins
never tried the play again.
The Rams, extremely quiet
| in defeat and not in the mood
to boast about anythin g
weren't surprised that Meadol
had handled Mitchell so well
After ALL" a team official
pointed out, Eddie was picked
all-pro first team by the Sport
ing News last year. Snead, in
the other locker room, echoed
the opinion: Lets face it
Meador is one Of the toughest
wings in the business.
Switched by Rams
Curiously, he played defense
only rarely at Arkansas Tech
which is in his home town OF
Russellville. But he was drafted
in the seventh round by Los
Angeles after his senior season
and he's been solely a defensive
back for the Rams all four
years since.
Covering Mitchell wasn't all
Meador did yesterday. He also
brought down Don BoSSeler IN
the open field on the Rams
9-yard line early in the game
and he blocked Bob Khayat's
field-goal attempt on the 80,
which would have iced the de-
cision with 2::38 remaining.
Come to think of it, Meador
perhaps should be more appre-
ciated by Redskins fans. With
out his field-goal block, the
finish wouldn't have been
nearly as exciting.

The casualty report was
rather light on the Redskins
side, snead and Bossler were
shook up" and Barnes got the
groin injury. Mitchell's left ell
bow and Guard John Nisby's
right ankle will be X-rayed as
a precautionary measure.
On the Rams, Halfback Pervis
Atkins ribs were damaged, and
will be X-rayed, and he lost a
couple of teeth. Guard Charlie
Cowan injured his knee and
Guard Joe Scibelli hurt his arm.

Safety Bob Freeman, who was
forced out the game with a

hard to beat from here in.

Eagle back said, land we've de-

little. You really concentrate
more on your job. and that's

tration. I know the Cards will

all the rest, but we're rolling

A listener said a Redskin de-
feat was inevitable, sooner or
later.
That's what they said in
Philadelphia a couple of years
ago." Bob recalled with a smile
"and we won 10 straight anc
d the championship
Then we lost a couple, but BY
that time it didn't matter"
Halfback Billy Barnes, the
games leading ground-gainel
with 64 yards on % carries,
suffered a bad groin bruise but
was more concerned about a
vitamin shot administered by
DR.. George Resta in the dress
ing room after the game.

NEW WRINKLES, MUCH PERspIRATIoN
McPeok Calls Triumph Best Yet

"It was the best game we've
played" Coach Bill McPeak
began, summing up the Red
skins 20-14 decision over the
Rams, but I was sweating 1t
out at the finish"
McPeak. along with thou
sands Of other Washington
fans, suddenly was smitten with
the thought in the waning min
utes of the game that the Red
skins we're just a touchdown
away from their first defeat OF
the season after dominating
the game throughout most of
the afternoon.
The Rams scored a second
period touchdown on Zeke
Bratkowski's 33 yard pass to
Dick Bass, eliminating a So
yard march. And when Ron
Miller hit Jim Phillips with a
55-yard scoring pitch in the
last quarter. it appeared that
the hone teams luck might be
running out.
81 said to myself, oh, no.
This amt going to happen to
us again?'" Bill recalled, think
ing back to last year when sew
eral games slipped through his
fingers that way. There was
plenty of tension in the last
few minutes"
But Bill still thought it was
the teams best effort in four
games.
I'VE added a couple Of
wrinkles to the offense-noth-
hng new to football-when we
saw they were going to use a
zone defense against Mitchell"
the coach went on. I'VE had
to go back to Fred Dugan. He'll
catch passes against anybody
from the weak side"
Dugan, who established a
Redskin record last year by
snagging So passes, was over
shadowed by Mitchell in the
first three games this season.
Yesterday he grabbed six for
95 yards and two touchdownS.
Against the Bears and
Colts" McPeak resumed, "the
Rams used several defenSes
but couldn't seem to make up
their minds what to stay in.
We saw films Of their game
last week with Dallas and when
they went to the zone we de-
cided that was it.
I'VE threw a screen pass to
Don Bosseler on the first play
to see if they were going to !

Dresser Back
With Dodgers

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 26
(AP) Charlie Dresser, who
quit the Dodgers twice, is back
in their fold again after a
three-year absence.
The man who guided the
Dodgers to. .pennantS in 1852 and
1858. was appointed as Dodger
scout and trouble shooter yes
terday. The position is similar
to that held by Mayo Smith of
the Yankees and for which the
White Sox recently hired
Charlie Metro.
Dresser, "a, also managed
the Reds, Senators and Braves.
He also was a coach on the
Dodgers pennant-winning club
of 1859 in Los Angeles.
Dresser quit the Dodgers
after 1858 season when Walter
O'Malley refused to give him a
long-term contract. He left the
Dodgers again in 1860 to man
age the Braves, who fired him
in August, 1861.
He managed Toronto to Sec
ond place in the Internationa,
League last season. He also
formerly served as coach for
the Yankees.
This is the fourth time the
Dodgers have hired Dresser,
who has been in baseball as a
player, manager and coach
since 1919. Dresser joined the
Dodgers first in 1943 as a coach.

The difference between win
ming and losing the Army-Navy
football game, which will be
renewed before the usual crowd
Of 100000 in Philadelphia Sta
dium Saturday. is the differ
ence between living and dying
for another year.
This proclamation was issued
by Wayne Hardin. the Navy
coach, who has been saying all
year that his boys play 'em two
at a time-this weeks game
and Army.
In his three years as head
coach at Annapolis his policy
has paid off handsomely-three
victories against no defeats,
which certainly should give him
an extended life span.
More than a victory over
Army is at stake for Hardin
Saturday. Since landing the
head coaching job in 1859,
Hardin never has had anything
less than a winning season. But
the best he can do this year is
an even split in 10 games.

1t will take them a while to
rewrite the Maryland record
book, and a bit longer to forget
the season, but the Terps'
smashing finale over Virginia
is the type of thing that builds
renewed hope for the future.
Coach Tom Nugent already is
basking in the sunshine, liter
ally If not figuratively. He
checked out yesterday for some
speaking engagements this
week in florida.
The assistant coaches had a
rare Sunday off, their first in
months, and the players no
longer had to find answers to
questions about what happened
to the offense.
The 40-18 triumph over Vir.

son than an attempt to con-
fuse the Army scouts who have
seen the 'Middies play every
game.
But the chances are those
scouts saw enough in Los An
geleS to keep them on edge. It
was there that Hardin unveiled
a new series of plays designed
to take advantage of Staubach's
tremendous running ability.
New Plays Devised
The new plays are run off
the quarterback pass-run op-
ton, a device that was not in
the Navy repertoire until a week
ago. 1t was so effective that
Staubach gained 113 yards
overland in 19 carries. the most
rushing yardage any Navy
player has picked up this sea-
son. He also passed for 106
yards.
Until then all Of Staubach's s
running was in desperation
when he was trapped behind
the line attempting to pass
But now that he has some
plays deliberately designed tc
get him in motion, it is not
unreasonable to believe thai

confidence that will make him
the perfect relief pitcher for
Dick Sinner, who'll be back.
Hill, Rowe Ready
Kenny Ambrusko, sidelined
most of the year after his 78-
yard punt return against North
Carolina State. had a 58-yard
scoring gallop against the Cav
alters. Until this one the Terps
hadn't had a run from scrim-
mage longer than II yards. If
Maryland is looking for a
breakaway back, Ambrusk o
looks like the type who'll
qualify.
OF all the players who scored
against Virginia. only Tom
Brown and John Hannigan, thC
place-kicking specialist, wont
be back. Nugent already has
mentioned the possibility OF
casting Daryl Hill. a fleet
transfer from Navy. as a
Brown type wingback. Jim
Rowe. up from the frosh. looks
like Hannigan's field-goal re-
placement. He's booted fielders
as long as 38 yards with the
freshmen.
But getting back to the Vir-
ginia game, and saving the
looks ahead for later, the Terps
won because Brown saved his
best game for last. because the
Terps jelled early extensively
and defensively, and because
Virginia couldn't solve the
Terps' Deep-T spread until II
was too late.
